I feel like I have reached a place where I am starting to live day to day in the moment. It took me until half the race to do so. I started grasping some of this last month back in Rwanda. Even though I was trying hard to not look ahead I was only living for the future and was not completely in the moment as I should have been. This is a good balance of living a simple, satisfying daily life. For the past three weeks our lives have looked like this. I get up in the morning, spend time in prayer or the Word or listening to podcasts, walk to the store for groceries, maybe visit a coffee bar, plan for classes and skits on the Ten Commandments, then we do ministry in the late afternoons. I have found that spot where I’m living this as my real life and not viewing this as something that “puts life on hold”. The future is far from my mind and my past is out of the rearview. There is no “When will then be now” in my train of thought right now.
For the people that actually read what I post I want to assure them that Discipleship is taking place here. Discipleship is taking place in Sauk Albania. Our ministry host is possibly the only church in this entire community. If anyone is going to come to faith in Christ in this place it is most likely going to happen through them presenting the gospel message. There is simply no one else here to do it. They are on the frontlines in the war against darkness for souls and they hope that more mission-minded Christians will come here to live and will partner with their ministry. It’s clear that they do need some lift to their mission.
