Month in Romania:
To be honest, I think this month the Lord was working on me more than working through me for the ministry.
I did have a great time though working at Casa Shalom with our ministry contact Becky, and our friends we met there. Amazing women of God. We had some good visits to gypsy villages and helped out a lot with a flea market the ministry was having to help raise money. It was SUCH a blessing to help out with that and get some free clothes in the process :).
The Lord helped me with relationships with fellow squad members. Those who I was intimidated by or just didn’t know became some of my closest friends so far.
Through listening to one worship song, I realized worship for me is escaping reality or taking myself up off this earth and imagining it going to the heavens to worship the Lord, to enter into intimacy with Him. Think about that and try it for yourself. Guarantee you will worship much differently.
Identity issues have also come up. Before the race I really didn’t have a clue who I was or who I really wanted to be. I still don’t know either. But I’m learning and the Lord is helping me out.
The Lord is also showing me things about relationships and boundaries with them. I never realized that when a relationship with someone (particularly a guy) is not right or unhealthy, I usually feel deep down that I shouldn’t be apart of it. That I should get out ASAP. But do I do it. NO. I realize now that that feeling, it’s the Spirit. As much as you might want those relationships to work, they’re not going to. And the Lord knows that and He’s trying to help us by giving that wrong type of feeling inside of us. Or in other words there isn’t a peace there that should be there.
So yeah, that’s my Romanian experience!
Still about $3,500 away from my support goal of $14,300! Please pray that I will make this goal before the deadline of July 3rd!
Oh and here’s a little something for all you Gaither fans out there 🙂
