So we have officially made to Moldova and month 11. We are working in the community of Cornesti. Here we are working in the garden, bringing food to babushkas (grandmas, and I don’t know if I spelled it right) pulling carrots, also doing a kids ministry in the afternoons and the guys are building beaver homes. Yes, beaver homes. They are very high commodity here. The fur can be sold for top dollar and apparently so can the meat. We haven’t gotten to try it or actually see any beavers yet but we are helping prepare the place so at some point in the future they will be able to house them. We also have a lot of time to spend in prayer for the ministry and community.
The church we are working with has many things going on. They provide a shelter for some of the street kids in the area, have a sewing program, kids program and do a prayer service every evening.
In the last month of the race I find it hard to be completely focused. I am tired and thinking about home and about what’s next. It’s a good lesson in learning to just be. I know these are things that God will take care of but for some reason every time, before there is a big change in my life, I freak out and to some degree lose trust. God has always brought me to the things He has called me to. This race for instance, it was a lot of trust to drop everything and do this but look at what He has done this year. The people he has touched through our team and the lives that have been changed. Including mine and every other racer, I am sure. This year has taught me a lot about Gods love for me and about how to trust Him. Because He is love, I know that He cares for the things I care for and as His daughter I just want to make Him proud. So I am just going to give it up and try to live in the moment, one day at a time.
God has given me a vision for my future and the ministry HE is calling me to. Once I get home I will fill all of you in on this plan but for now I want to finish what we have started.
