Team Fuel and Team Proclaim i61 (my team) have reunited once again in Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria after serving separately for a brief stint in Sofia.

Before entering the city limits, Proclaim i61 took the scenic route by means of a three day detour to Dobromirka where we helped renovate the property of a future women’s shelter, owned by Mission Possible.

With visions of chainsaws and backhoes dancing in our heads…we set out to destruct the forest, blocking the prospective amphitheatre. When the backhoe failed to arrive…we got to work with the hand tools provided…leading to perhaps one of the most entertaining days of service yet…

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
But as we hang our hats in a secluded hostel in Veliko Trunovo, homesickness hangs so heavily in the air…you could cut it with a knife. This coming from a girl who never gets homesick.
 
Yesterday during the church service, our group of fourteen serenaded the congregation to the melody of “Mighty to Save”…as they joined in perfect Bulgarian. I did so with tears streaming down my face…as the lyrics seemed afresh upon my soul. This coming from a girl who doesn’t sing.

There’s something painful…yet beautiful about following Jesus…as we worry about our tomorrows…and He comforts our todays…

“Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.”- Psalm 37:4

 

8 beds, 14 people…sure beats the reverse in the country song…as we sleep double in our single beds. J
