PSYCH!
I have done nothing close to snuggling with cute babies. I've been working on a…farm. And if you know me, that's definitely not in my comfort zone. I have hacked thorn weeds, painted a fence, took apart wooden pallets, picked up pig poop, scraped off pig poop, and took the role of a shepherd for a short time. This month has been manual labor every day, but I've actually learned some life skills. Our contact, George, has a ministry called Light Force. It's for kids that have bad attitudes and hard lives to have a chance of hope and restoration. Right now we are just getting the building in good shape for the kids to have a comfy home for the summer. We are planting seeds. When I'm in that bad mood from doing farm work, I have to think about all of the children that will be wandering around and how I am working for The Lord, and not men. Also, my parents taught me to do a good job no matter what, even if the job isn't always "fun". Colossians 3:23
This month has been my favorite so far. It's been challenging in multiple ways. We have the whole squad living together and that always brings chaos. Not always bad chaos, it's just not the same as a team of 7. The good thing about being with my squad is that I get to know 41 stories and opinions about everything and I get many tummy laughs a day. Those laughs where tears are coming out and my cheeks hurt from laughing. Another thing about this month is that George wanted us to study Proverbs and Matthew. He is one of the wisest men I've ever come across in my life, and I'm so glad our paths have crossed. I have gained so much knowledge from him and from Heaven. We have bible study for about three hours a day, seriously, the wisdom just pours down. It's exhausting sometimes but my heart is hungry for more of Jesus! My faith has increased. My joy has majorly increased as well! Always a good thing. Even if I'm not necessarily "smiling", my heart is content and at peace. God is calling me into a higher authority and anointing. I am not a 12 year old girl, I am a 22 year old woman full of courage, boldness, faith, wisdom, and lots of Jesus! He's my heart and I love Him more every day.
I love my job. I love that I am capable to fill a need and do it well. When I'm painting on a field or an annoying black fence, I see Jesus. I feel His presence and am encouraged. I love the people I'm working with and doing community with. I have a sincerely, blessed life. I'm living in Lezche, Albania and it's beautiful.
Thank you prayer warriors and supporters! You are a huge part of my heart, and I hope you know how much I love you! You can be praying for finances, it's always a stretch.
There are pictures on my Facebook! 🙂
