Well it looks like I made it to Romania! So far this month has been a huge challenge for me. Between being jet-lagged, sick from the cold weather, and getting use to a brand new culture I am physically and emotionally exhausted!
Spiritually God is helping me learn how to trust Him more and more as my funds for the $11,000 deadline (April 1st) have still not come in and I'm $3250 short. He's given me a peace about it. I know that He has a will and purpose for the delay and I'm content in that.
Actually I think I'm closer to God now than I ever have been before! Back home I would have never been able to be put in this kind of a situation. Being in a culture that is strict and in some ways condemning, yet so loving has allowed me to see with new eyes. I'm learning how to respect other people's views and opinions without holding it against them when I think their only being aggressive. God is showing me that these people love and respect Him enough to go out of their way to make sure their obeying His commands and loving people full heartedly! It's so beautiful to see that kind of passion for God!
