So, for some reason, I have not felt the motivation to blog this month. That frustrates me. I have been struggling a bit with the transition to hostel living. It’s tight quarters, very loud and quite messy with sharing all the common areas. Last month I had my own space, in my tent, that I kept neat and orderly and clean. This month I share a small room with 2 other girls. I love them, they are wonderful, beautiful daughters of our amazing Father… it’s just an adjustment. :0)
God is stretching me this month. I am praying constantly for Him to fill me to overflowing with grace so that I can pour that out to others. Please, please, please keep this in your prayers as well!! I am also adjusting to living with some who are in the process of learning to take care of themselves, possibly for the first time. There are many squadmates who are roughly 10-12 years younger than me, which in spiritual years means nothing, but in life experience, is very different than what I am use to. Grace, grace, grace, gracias!
I was told by a teammate today that I am pretty much the most considerate person he’s ever met. Thank you Jesus for that. I think that is why I struggle so much with these living situations. I don’t want to disrespect others, but I also want to share my feelings if I am not happy. It’s a hard balance to find.
And, surprisingly, I am not sleeping well this month, yet. Despite the fact that I went from sleeping on a sleeping pad on the ground to sleeping in a bed, I am not sleeping through the night ever. Like I mentioned, it’s loud, regardless of “quiet hours” and I have been having some nightmares involving demon possession. This is odd considering I have never had this type of dream before. It’s apparently much more common on the Race. It’s and attack from the enemy. We are doing great things for God and sharing His love in everything we do, so satan is not happy and will attack any way possible. We are most vulnerable while sleeping so the nightmares come. My girl power corner of the hostel is going to pray over my bed tonight before I lay down to sleep. I rebuke these attacks in the name of Jesus!!!!
Please keep praying, it matters and makes a difference! I’m so blessed and so grateful for all your support. It makes every day easier, no matter the situation, knowing that I have such a superb prayer team in the States! Muchos gracias mis amigos! I love you and miss you all!
