May is here

L'viv is showing signs of life finally... The sun has shone days in a row, flowers and trees are blooming-- Spring is happening in two weeks, but I'm glad it has finally decided to arrive! The days have been longer, and it is nice to be able to walk around town without freezing. I love seeing things come back to life, and the whole atmosphere of L'viv change. Outdoor cafes pop up all around the city, as do little ice cream stands which make me happy:)

This past Sunday Ukraine ( and most of Eastern Europe) celebrated Easter! Church was wonderful as well having the whole church pray over me and my family! Anytime people lay hands and pray for me, I just tear up--I love feeling the Holy Spirit filling my cup up through the love and concern of my brothers and sisters in Christ--- Community is a beautiful thing when it is done right:)


After Church me, the parentals, my brother and little Emma, had lunch together... Meat, potatoes, green beans and deviled eggs (love my dads deviled eggs!). It was an amusing lunch because the meal did not look like a normal Ukrainian meal, and Emma was certain that she was not going to touch it... After bribing her with desert, she took a bite, then another... next thing you know, she had eaten more than I ate! Love that kid, love that we get to introduce her to new things, but I am sad that we have to leave her for three months! Please pray for Emma while we are not here- that God would protect her, make his presence known in her life!And that her mom and family would come to know the awesome goodness of having a personal relationship with God!

So on the note of leaving, I have bought a plane ticket to Moldova for May 19th! Despite the craziness in L'viv, I am super excited to return to Moldova, to work with Project Rescue! I love the women of the rescue home, and I am excited for this opportunity! Please pray for me during this time, for the other interns, the translators, missionaries, and for the women of the home! May God move, teach and grow us all!


And I have to say, THANK YOU! Thank you to each of you who have given to make the internship possible! Thank you for caring that I have to leave Ukraine for a short time!

Many of you have asked if I am still in need of funds, and the answer is yes. I've gotten about half of what I need for this 90 day period, so if you, your church, or friends would be willing to help a sista out, that would be great!

Again thank you all for your prayers, support and love!

 God bless you and keep you,God smile on you and gift you,God look you full in the face and make you prosper.

Sex Standing Up : Moldova Part 2

If you missed part one, please read it first: Part 1 Throughout my trip I was reading the book written by John Eldredge, entitled Beautiful Outlaw. If you've not read it, I would highly encourage you to do so. And I hope with this next sentence you will still read his book, and the rest of this blog for that matter. The title of this blog I questioned, but you are here reading this so it either hooked you in, or was in poor taste enough that either way you are here. In Eldredege’s book, he pokes fun at the joke, that I've heard many say about Baptist, you know the one, “ Why don’t Baptist have sex standing up? Because it would look too much like dancing.” Honestly I've never gotten the joke, cause I’m not sure a Baptist would talk about sex in public either, well at least not the good ole’ conservative southern Baptist. But this was the point, Christians in their various denominations get lost in their theology. They, I guess I should say ...

Serenity

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.  Today has been a bit of a struggle for me. I've been asking God why, which is never an encouraging way to spend the day. It all started with a little boy at the social orphanage. Last week, he was a little wild, so I just scooped him up, and held him in my lap, while Ed told the Bible Story. As we sat, this little boy just melted into my arms, sat quietly, and listened. So this week, as soon as I sat down in the classroom, he was climbing into my lap, and started to just talk to me.  He told me how everyone had gotten picked up this weekend and got to go home for the holiday Ukraine just celebrated. This social orphanage we go to, the kids live and go to school in one place. Their parents either are incarcerated, too poor to care for their child, or a single parent. Some people put their kids in this "school" so that they ca...

RIP

I  want to take the time to let you know how great Dr. K was. He has been a ministry partner with Hands on Missions for a really long time. His free medical clinic offered aid to thousand. He would make house calls (even to the missionaries in town) and give free medicine. Often he would visit our elderly neighbors, patiently listen to their every whim, as though he had all his day to offer sympathy. I left Ukraine for a couple years, and when I returned, I ran into Dr. K on the street. He genuinely took interest in how I was doing asking questions and encouraging me. Couple months ago my arm went numb and I was freaking out a little bit so I went to Dr. K for help. I was in pain and worried, and he looked at me and said, its okay, don't worry. And after a chiropractic session, I could feel my hand again. Did you know if it had not been for Dr. K my family would not be in Ukraine. My mom originally came to Ukraine in the 90's to do children's ministry outside ...
