Fire curls up into the air, hungrily grabbing for oxygen. It spits out vibrant orange ashes that look more like majestic stars doing a rhythmic dance against the night sky. Someone strums the guitar, and voices are lifted up. The fire grows stronger, higher, hotter. It is spinning, twisting, all consuming. It is hypnotizing to watch it dance around the wood against the night sky. My mind settles into thanksgiving and rejoicing, loving this beautiful dance that my Creator placed before my eyes tonight.
It's the little things in life like a bon fire in Romania that count. That make life sweet.
The past nine months have been such a beautiful culmination of these such little things, little moments. Moments that fill my heart with joy and love. With laughter. With life, inspiration, tears, joy, growth, stretching, uncomfortably that moves me beyond myself. Moments that words and pictures can never fully capture, but moments that make it all worth it.
Today marks the two month mark, which really is blowing my mind. It's got me thinking, where in the world did the past nine months go? It seems like so long, and yet not long at all since we first arrived in Kenya. Moments like these make me say, “How in the world did I end up here, traveling the world for eleven months? How is this even my life?”
Two months from today I will be on United States of America soil.
Two months. It seems like nothing at all. Yet, it is a long time. It is time that I get to spend furthering the Kingdom in Eastern Europe, and I am so excited about that.
Our team is now in Arad, Romania, which is close to the Hungarian border (the west side of Romania). It took us about 40 hours by train to get to Budapest, Hungary, and another four by van to get to our site for the month. We are working with a camp, helping them prepare for their summer months just around the corner.
It is a gorgeous place, and I cannot wait to share more pictures and stories with you about this special place!
