Sorry for the little hiatus on the blogging. But things here at the Camminul felix have picked up greatly. They are expanded their facilities here which is great news. We have been busy working some construction and working on the adjacent dairy farm that helps support the ministry here at the Camminul Felix. So that is what we have been doing here in Oradea.
Now for what I am learning…. well that might take a few different blogs to cover. So we will start with this idea of Worship. A few of us have started to be intentional with our time here at the village and met the guy that runs the farm, Tao. We have been working for him and some of the ladies have been watching his 11 month old daughter- Emma ( by their own admission Emma hasn't been sleeping well at night which makes it rough on mom and dad). We have been visiting the church that Tao and his wife have been going to and I gotta tell you fine folks, big things are happening here in Oradea Romania at Hope Church. But Last week was our first visit and although the sermon was in Romanian (Big props to Tao and another Emma for translating for us) the worship songs were in Romaninan as well. But the cool thing was we recognized the songs and were singing the words in English right next to folks singing in Romanian… Cool right?!? Yea it was. Flash forward to Saturday night (insert Wayne's World Flashback sound effects here)…. The two teams here decided to go into the fields behind Camminul Felix and have some worship (worship in a recently harvested corn field is a must on the race). During all this the Lord has been reminding me what worship is. Its not about singing or dancing, but more importantly it is about the attitude of your heart. A guy from right outside of my hometown wrote and recorded a song about this and in the chorus he says "Maybe we've been missing the point all along. Worship comes from the singer- NOT THE SONG" Great song by the way. You can check it out here.
