God knew what I needed this last month in Romania. He knew I needed to be stretched even further, that this was the desire of my heart. He responded by making me the lead contact for the three teams that converged in Draganesti this month. Being responsible for 19 people and their schedules and ministries was challenging and tiring this month, but I HAD to depend on Christ’s strength to get me through.
MY normal day looked about like this:
7:30-8am Wake up
8-9am Insanity workout
9-10am Cool-down, shower, and breakfast
10am-Noon Worship, Intercession and Meeting with Raul to figure out specifics for the day
Noon-1pm Lunch
1-6pm Working with Raul doing any number of things: PowerPoint presentation, creating schedules, doing house visits, praying for people, translating, writing emails in English, etc.
6-7pm Run errands or walk home and chill until dinner at 7pm
7-8pm Dinner with the family
8-9 or 9:30pm Thriven Team Time
Other activities included playing guitar and learning new songs, sleeping, etc.
There was rarely a moment where I didn’t have much going on in my dome, I always seemed to be calling someone to workout a pick up situation or confirm a ministry appointment, working on my PowerPoint or answering questions about the schedule and where people were or what they were doing. I didn’t have much free time at all this month, so as a result, my Bible reading suffered a little bit, but I am practicing underlining and writing little notes in the margins of my Bible to help me when I go back to read it or when I look through the book to find the highlights or main ideas, etc. I set goals back in India for my time there, chronologically ordered, and thus far I have met most of my goals for scripture! God is good! Thank you for your prayers, they are heard and appreciated!
