Sometimes God does things that I just don’t understand. Sometimes He blows my mind.
So, with that said, Greetings from the top of my bunk bed! I can hear laughter and food being passed around the table downstairs. Today is Shabat! Which means my host family and our contacts are downstairs performing a Shabat ritual dinner with some amazing food being served. Food that I helped prepare earlier.
But, here I am up in my bunk. I am fasting.
For some strange reason God decided to spare me and my health. Most of the people on our teams this month here in L’viv have been experiencing one sickness or another. It’s no secret here that I am a *slight* germapheob. You can usually find me sauntering around with my water bottle that I wash every day, I take my probiotics like I’ll never find them again and my multi vitamin. I have a pharmacy bag on my shelf. I’m slowly learning that this pharmacy bag I packed wasn’t for me, but for everyone else. More times than not here in the evenings someone will ask if I have this or that. GREAT! This means that all this extra weight I’m trecking around the globe isn’t for nothing.
But why did God put it on my heart so naggingly so that I must fast? I’m trying to discern why He is sparing me right now and why I haven’t gotten sick. Is it because of my crazy germ freak ways? Probably not. I’m using this extra time that I have during meals to pray for people that are sick and to fight spiritually for them. God just put it on my heart that this is what I must do.
Soon we will be going to do Creative Worship. I’m SO excited for this! We will worship through drawings, paintings, dancing, singing, writing, etc.
My time here in Ukraine is going so well. I’m so in love with it here. I can easily see myself coming back and doing something, no clue what that might look like.
I also have so much energy. I sent out 75 support e-mails today for my next deadline.
Only God could spare my health and give me double the energy I had.
God is good, all day every day! BELIEVE!
