I know I need to
blog. It was spoken over me at the Awakening-“God is going to be revealing so
much to you-blog. BLOG!” and since then I have had the hardest time blogging.
Despite having free 24/7 Internet access for the past 8 weeks, I have blogged
less than previous months where I only had it once a week or so. I am not sure
what this writer’s block is. I definitely have a lot to say. I think about
potential blogs all the time. But then when it comes to sit down and write
them, I find other things to do. Even today, sitting in this great café in Budapest,
I wrote in my journal, checked e-mail, Facebooked, and read other people’s
blogs. And now it is time to go.
Here’s what I
think about. Maybe that will provide some temporary insight while I try to
gather all my thoughts into something cohesive.
 
My brain starts
at: My heart is broken for these people. My heart is broken for Americans. Wow,
we only have 28 days left. Wow I will be home in a month. It’s cold. That was a
good mocha. (Yes, I drink coffee now. Uganda did it to me…). I am excited to
see my friends. I don’t know what the future holds. Should I apply for Teach
for America? Oh but there are so many more qualified individuals. I’m excited
to go to Los Angeles and see friends. I am really excited to visit Hong Kong.
Oh this year has been so crazy. I am ready to be home. God has done so much
this year-Praise God.

What time is
ministry at? What are we doing today? The electricity keeps going on and off
making it difficult to cook our pizza. Wait we have pizza. We have electricity.
I’ve showered almost every day this week, and blow-dried and straightened my
hair. The washing machine is still broken. Wait there’s a washing machine?

Is this still
the World Race? Yes…it is. But it looks so different than the rest of the year.
We have been so materially blessed. We are comfortable. Homeless ministry makes
me a little uncomfortable, which is good. Honestly sharing my faith in an uncompromising
manner with Hungarian college students who remind me a lot of my classmates at
USC is uncomfortable, but good. So good. I want to write a blog about that-it
happened a week ago. I am weeks behind on blogs.

Is this even
interesting? Who knows? But it’s a blog. This processing business is a process.
More soon.

Blessings &
Love.
