I wanted to write a blog, but I am having a hard time making my thoughts fluid. So, I am just going to spew them. I hope thats ok with everyone.
I met an uncommonly cordial Ukrainian woman at the Kiev train station, yesterday. Jesus was deep inside her. Her name was Katherine. We talked about the ministries we had been doing in Ukraine. She told us about the ministry she is involved in. We prayed together. She prayed fervently for us. When she left my spirit was raging with joy and encouragement. Ten minutes later she walked back in the front door of the train station only to give me a gift. It was so evident Jesus was in her, all over her, glowing in her eyes. I love Jesus in people. I love Jesus in you, Katherine.

After 34 hours on a train, I’ve made it Bucharest, Romania.
As soon as I got off the train, something stirred in my heart for the people of Romania. My spirit is ecstatic to be here.
I’m experiencing some training camp nostalgia. The whole squad is spending the next few days here together. I love these people. They are my local body. I eat with them, sleep with them, pray with them, praise with them, just be with them. I love them.
I think I know what stirs here. It’s the Holy Spirit. We want God. We want God together.

Im hungry and thirsty. This morning Jesus told me to eat His flesh and drink His blood. Sometimes I think He’s crazy. He portioned me a piece of his heart and poured me a cup from His veins.
It’s hard to swallow, but if I do, I live forever. I get to abide forever.
I don’t want to forget why I am here on Earth. I am here to eat and drink, and become the love of Christ to the Earth by abiding in Christ’s love.

My apologies for the sporadic post. Still, I hope Christ is glorified and hearts are encouraged by it.
