Hey sorry I have not updated in a while, But that is mostly because not much has changed I'm still helping with homework and just yesterday I started kind of helping with kindergarden, ummm I'm sick again... not sure how that happened exactly I have been taking a sufficient amount of vitamin C and airborn but I guess this happens... Oh, and as some or most of you probably know I had really bad sleep issues before I left like I didn't sleep hahah but since I have been here I have been sleeping quite well! So thank God for that! umm thank you for your prayers and just keep praying not only for me but for all of the villages that I go to and the different people that I have the chance  to work with

I have a big but and I can not lie. hahaaha

So I did not really do much today I helped with homework again and I think the kids are going to read with and American accent because I’m helping them hahaha and I’m learning as they are learning so hopefully as I keep helping I’ll learn how to speak and read Romanian better and the next part is just something that I have been thinking about and stuff so hopefully it challenges you or something…

Jonah 1:1-3
“1The word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2“Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”3But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD.” NIV
But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the LORD. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the LORD by sailing to Tarshish NLT
What is/are the “but(‘s)” in your life?
What is the thing that God is coming to you and saying and speaking into your life, “I have this purpose for you I have this mission and I want you to do this and go here or do that . And your response is this “But God I’m comfortable here I have all that I want here.” And His response is this “you may have all that you want but you don’t have all that I want you to have, so go.” Or maybe you hear that word from God and you respond with fear or rebellion like Jonah and you are like but God Tarshish is a big city and my enemy they hate me! And I can’t go there! So you run in the complete opposite direction. But God is saying I want you to do something different! I want you to get outside of yourself! I want you to move beyond your borders of where you’re comfortable at, and I want you to go to the enemy I want you to lift up your eyes from where you are at and gaze at my plan for your life. It’s not all about you. I have a purpose for your life that will infuse every part of your life with meaning!
Can you see yourself as one being used by God? Can you see yourself as one being called by God to be used by him?
What is your but?
Can we take the “buts” that we have, and that make us run from God, and hand them over to Him and instead of running from him you will begin to run towards him and his calling on your life?

Oops.. hahah


Well, today was eventful one we got the heater fixed! We now have heat in the bathroom! And I broke the handle off the door to the apartment, I guess I have been working out too much lately and apparently don’t know my own strength, umm also Carmen, Carmen, Elesi and I had the opportunity to visit different people and pray with them and just visit and such so that was a pleasant experience. And then I traveled along to youth group and that went quite well. 

"Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” - James 4:13-15-

so this would conclude post number two.

I have safely arrived!

My flight got in around 2:30pm my time (I'm seven hours ahead incase you did not know that....) and I thought my luggage was lost because I did not see it on the baggage claim thingy and I was like ohhh nooo now what and then I decided to use my brain and check the other two baggage claim things and there was my bags! Thank you Jesus!!! Tonight I will be going to chiselet to have dinner with three families and as far as any kind of schedule I still don't really have one... so umm I think this is the end of my first post.
