Me and my girl, in Romania at Kids Club
So remember my blog, “He Will Carry Me”? I told you about how I knew God was with me, that He never left me, but I didn’t experience or recognize His Presence (just click here to read more, if you missed it the first time). I missed hearing Him. Well it’s been about 6 weeks since that blog. It hasn’t been easy, as I knew it wouldn’t be, but knowing that doesn’t make it any easier. But my God is good, He He is good all the time and I loving the promise that He will see through “until the day of completion”.
“So I am happy when I have weaknesses, insults, hard times, sufferings, and all kinds of troubles. All these things are for Christ. And I am happy, because I am weak, then I am truly strong.”
~ 2 Corinthians 12:10

John Waller’s, "While I'm Waiting"
I'm waiting, I'm waiting on You Lord
And I am hopeful, I'm waiting on You Lord
Though it is painful, but patiently I will wait
And I will move ahead bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience
While I'm waiting I will serve You
While I'm waiting I will worship
While I'm waiting I will not faint
I'll be running the race even while I wait
I'm waiting, I'm waiting on You Lord
And I am peaceful, I'm waiting on You Lord
Though it's not easy no, but faithfully I will wait
Yes, I will wait
And I will move ahead bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience
While I'm waiting I will serve You
While I'm waiting I will worship
While I'm waiting I will not faint
I'll be running the race even while I wait
I will move ahead bold and confident
I'll be taking every step in obedience, yeah
While I'm waiting I will serve You
While I'm waiting I will worship
While I'm waiting I will not faint
And I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You Lord
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting

In my persistence, in my saying, “YES!” to my Papa, and “NO!” to Satan, in trusting God, and defeating Satan’s discouragement with the promises God giving me in His Word, He's giving me "rivers in the desert". I’m abiding in Him through books by sons and daughters of the King of Heaven and podcasts from heirs of the One, True King. He speaks to me through my squadmates, my brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ, He speaks through the inspired words and songs of His Children and He speaks through His Living, Life-Bringing, Love-filled Word.
“Do not remember the past events, pay no attention to things of old. Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.”
~ Isaiah 43:18-19
I promise a blog on our ministry in Romania is coming. In the meantime, until I can further update you on our ministry. Please pray for safety as 8 of our squadmates travel to northern Romania for some fun and adventures. Please pray for the 10 of us who stay behind and continue in the church's ministry here, consisting of Kid's Clubs, gardening, after-school programs, and logistics management for the church here in Dragonesti (http://bisericasperanta.ro).
Here's John Waller's song, "While I'm Waiting".
