remembering

The call that God has placed on mylife still stops me in my tracks. I know and have known for a while that I am different and God has placed a call on my life. I have been confused to what that is but i know He will reveal it to me daily. It wasnt until this week that I was reminded by one of my muslim friends that my life is not my own. I dont know where I forgot that.... because really it has always been inthe back of my head. I cant force my beliefs on anyone and I will never be able to. All I can do it present to them the same love that I know and hope that they can see and feel the same love I know. My friend asked my what my purpose was for coming here and I told him in the name of J i do everything. I hope that my actions can help me be a light that he so desperatly yearns and searchs for.

This week I have been interviewing women for a group to start working with world crafts. It has been really neat I have been able to meet lots of families of all different nationalities. Turkish, bosnian, and albanian I am excited to start this with the women to help provide an income!!

I have also been making friends through different ways of communication... i dont speak macedonian ...... i dont think i ever will but i have been making friends anyway..... I love other forms of communication.

Its like i never left but at the same time i have missed so much.

Please pray that Amber and I find a place to live.... we are living in a hotel right now and it is killing my budget.

Love you all

A new beginning

Its my last night in the states until December. I cant believe it. As I am praying and anticipating these next 6 months I cant help but remember that I have only been back for six months. I remember how amazing and hard it was coming back. If you would have asked me if i would be going back I would have said I dont know. Its been a crazy and amazing past sixmonths, i remember coming through culture shock thinking I will never be able to get through this. I did, I got through and it was hard but I learned so much through it. Thanks so much for your prayer and support that you all give me. It means so much to me that I have family and friends who stand behind me as I listen to our father. I will be keeping you all updated on the the work that we will be doing.
