Albania. You are beautiful. Here’s some of my thoughts when we went on a team hike.
It took us a bit to get up this hill but once we got up the views were incredible. The classic Eastern European Tuscan roofed houses, rows on rows of olive trees and vineyards, beautiful wild flowers all along the trail.
We took about 40 minutes at the top and found a spot to just sit with the Lord. I found a nice spot in between some rows of grapes and I had a moment of awe. I was in awe that I was here. I’m in Albania, month 6, casually sitting on a hill overlooking the whole city. Praying over the city that the Lord would shine in the darkness, that hearts would be softened and that lost people would be found.
If you haven’t heard Hillsong United’s new album WONDER.. look it up. Here’s some lyrics from their song Wonder:
“I see the world Your way
And I’m not afraid to follow
I see the world Your way
And I’m not ashamed to say so
I see the Jesus way
And I’m walking in the light
I see the world in grace
I see the world in gospel
I see the world Your way
And I’m walking in the light
I’m walking in the wonder
You’re the wonder in the wild
Turning wilderness to wonder
If You have so say
I see the world in love
I see the world in freedom
I see the Jesus way
You’re the wonder in the wild”
Hopeful: All the things we see going on in the world, we have a choice to either look at it in a negative way or there’s a choice to say “hey, you know what, Gods still doing incredible things amidst the chaos.”
He’s always moving. He’s always loving.
