It's been a whirlwind of activity the last few days with the service and stuff. We just had mom's meeting and I helped with the childcare. I think I scared one little boy by making him stay in the room because he ran away from me later. It's interesting to see how American and Ukrainian children react differently in a childcare situation.
Anyways ... what to write about the last few days. We *tried* to do a lot of stuff, but it seems we were cut off at every turn. Twice we tried to go out and do evangelism and twice it was called on account of rain. The few times I tried doing some of my website work, I got pulled away as soon as I sat down so I didn't get anything done there either. Living in an interrupt driven lifestyle can be frustrating, but only when you are so fixed on your own goals and stuff. When you try to look at things through others' eyes it makes so much sense and you see the situation in a whole new way.
I guess that is what God has been teaching me lately - to work on truly loving other people and placing their own interests above my own. Kind of a combination of the ten times we are commanded (actually eleven, but this also includes quotes) to love our neighbors and Phil 2:4 which says to put others' interests above you own. By doing this, God also says you will be a good witness because that is how others know we are His disciples - if we love one another.
So, not much in the "here is what has happened" news, but a bit more of a "here is what God is doing" news.
