We arrived in Ukraine
on Tuesday! Myself along with 10 other
people came early to set up arrangements before the rest of our team
arrived. The first day we stayed in a
hostel. The next day the rest of our
squad arrived, then we all went our seperate ways. Team Cheetah had a wonderful night in our
contacts friends appartment before leaving for our 17 hour train ride. What a blessing! On our train ride we got the chance to meet
some great people. Although there was a
language barrier, we were still able to communicate in different ways. On Friday at 5:00 am we arrived at our
ministry location. Our contact egor came
to pick us up. He was driving a very small car and we wondered how we were all
going to fit. Well, we fit alright. He tied up our luggage on the roof, and in
the trunk and held everything together with rope. The 6 of us plus egor all cramed ourselves in
the car. (It reminded me of college:))
The village we are in is Bachisari (I’m
sure I’m spelling this wrong). We are staying in what looks like tree houses,
and bathing and washing clothes in the river!
The guys have been building huts for kids to stay in when they arrive at
camp and the girls are helping out in the kitchen. Sarah, Heather and I have had a lot of down
time since we have arrived, but I have enjoyed just resting and getting to know
my father more:)
Sick and Tired
I know your first
thought when reading my title is that I am sick and tired, I assure you this is
not the case. What I mean is I’m sick
and tired of living a life where I feel stagnat. Stagnant in my everyday life, and in my
relationship with God. I know that God
has created us for so much more than just to settle for the same day to day
reutine and not make a difference around us.
My prayer is to live in daily communication with him. That the passions of his heart would be the
passion of mine. I desire to see each
person the way he sees them. With that
being said my prayer is to know God more! I want to truely feel his love, so I
can in return share his love with others.
It’s not enough for me to just have a glimpse of his love any more, I want it all, I want all he has
for me. I want to see myself as he sees
me. If I can truely grasp these things I
believe my life will be forever changed!
