So here i am in Krakow, Poland . . .
WOW- this place is absolutely beautiful, and the overall atmosphere is everything you want it to be.
                      My team and i have done a great many things in just a few days-
      we visited some cathedrals (where we prayed and took in all the sights) 
      there are some castle’s and monuments here which are huge and elegant (exploring was just on the grounds but still worth it)
      the art galleries are common (many of them are in the studio as well, which i really enjoyed)
      coffee houses are up-scale yet relaxed (followed by some real delicious street food, and that is for sure a great meal)
      integrating into some other fine arts; we went to a real’ off the hook’ jazz club – totally wow-worthy 
With a more serious frame of mind, we prepared our hearts and spent the whole day together at
      Auschwitz, Concentration Camp 1940-1945 (World War II holocust museum) ~ i am full of gratitude for having that opportunity and i will never   forget walking through the grounds/ chambers, reading the stories, seeing the exhibits, and so on. 
 
My time here in Poland has been lovely; the people are with kind dispositions, contentment in lifestyles, always looking classy & trendy, and there is just a healthy praise that all people here have for this country.
 It appears that they are good stewards of what God has blessed them with;  as every country has present principalities that are  strongholds- right now i am just enjoying where God has placed us.
  God wants us to enjoy His creations, give Him thanks & praise and not be consumed by the many struggles/ improvements / etc. we tend to occupy ourselves with.
i will give more feedback to come regarding all the change God has birthed in me this month, but for now i just want to say that…
i am so happy
i am so blessed
i am enjoying life
i am giving life my full attention
i am thanking GOD for all of this and knowing that He has much more for me to come
and i am so honored that GOD chose these 5 people for me to spend this with, who i am completely in love with each of them- entirely.
 
This month, so far, we have ministered in a way that is done most commonly back home- life style ministry
( i really have to share why this is so important, that is ministry is EVERYWHERE and EVERYONE can choose to do it). 
The hostel, dizzy daisy – is by far the best hostel i have stayed in yet this race.  We have built relationships with many of the guests here, praying for and with them, giving time and effort into others on the streets; locals & tourists (for example, giving lunch to a woman living on the street, sharing deep truthful encouragement with someone in a coffee house after meeting and engaging in real conversation that leads into a more intimate heart to heart )
 
        living so that our faith is implimented in everyday life
 
 Well, more to come following our change in location.  Tomorrow we will be traveling to Warsaw, Poland (most likely) and participate in more life and change by GOD’s unfailing love and grace.
 
        In leaving you just a few more words . . .  
 
                                                                 THANK YOU for ALL of YOUR SUPPORT
this trip has been the greatest part of my life i have yet lived and i know that you have been a major part of this adventure and i hope that you do feel apart of this journey, through all the joy and even the stumbling- i am glad to share this with YOU !   
                                                                  You are in my thoughts and in my PRAYERS
 
 
   –   in love
