A ‘Thankful‘ and ‘Balanced‘ Life
 
 I’m here in Moldova again for a second month, which I was disappointed because I was really looking forward to going to Romania. But on the more positive side, I am on and with a new team! I would like to welcome and introduce to you…
 “THE A-TEAM”…
 
 
My new team members consist of: Jon Bunford(Team Leader), Cinthia Bunford (Jon’s wife), Bethsaida Portalatin, Amanda Burkett (Finance person/team member from team “ERUPTION”), Sarah Gaddy and myself. I must say that I am so happy and blessed to be on this team with all of them. We get along and serve so well together!

 

Moving right along…my new team and I have been in three different villages this month which has been exhausting, but rewarding. The villages that we lived in were Gordesti, Burlacu and Badicu and helping in different ways such as…tearing down rafters, loading/unloading & delivering wood, cleaning windows & ditches, participating in church services (sharing testimonies, singing songs & sharing GOD’s Word) and building meaningful relationships.

 
 
 I must be honest and transparent and share with you that I was not very happy to be back in Moldova. It has been a difficult month because I miss my family, church, friends and girlfriend. Along with this, my living conditions were not that enjoyable. For example, in Burlacu, I stayed with a family who spoke very little English, internet access was limited, they had no bathroom/shower, had very mean dogs and the list could go on and on if I really wanted to, so I won’t.

But GOD is good and faithful always showing up and teaching me in the midst of this. I feel as if HE has been teaching me in the following areas within my life right now:

                                                                      

        Becoming

        Authentic

         Learning to seize and live in the moment

         Attitude of gratitude

         Needing to show and share GOD’s love to all

         Content in everything

          Enduring in my struggles like JESUS

 
 

                    Being joyful always

                                Empowered by prayer

                                            Allowing GOD to be in control

                                                         Mindful to give thanks in “ALL” circumstances

Therefore, GOD is teaching me these things to bring more “BALANCE” into my life so I can “BEAM” for HIM! How about you?…How and what is GOD teaching you in order to bring more “BALANCE” into your life so you can “BEAM” for HIM?

“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is GOD’s will for you in CHRIST JESUS.”
(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

 

 Be joyful and be encouraged…thinking of, missing you and sending my love!
