Well, it is March, but no newsletter yet this month. I don't have access to the software I need to write it. I suppose I could just write the body of it and format it later - we'll see.
Had a really cool day yesterday. Christina wasn't feeling good in the morning (but she is better now!) so I took Leah and we went to church. I really enjoyed the service this weekend as it challenged me greatly. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed the last couple weeks because I hadn't been challenged yet. This week had a lot to do with the gaps we have in our lives and for me it was the gap of our expectations versus what God can actually do.
I struggle a lot with being friendly to our neighbors. Of course we say hi and help them out when times come up for that, but for the most part we go about daily without much interaction. I catch myself using the excuse of the language barrier a lot, but this is simply "falling into" that gap I was talking about.
God can do anything, but when I use that excuse I am claiming that he can not. Could God give me that ability to understand the words that come up in conversation? Of course! Could he give me the words I need to say in Ukrainian to carry-out a conversation? Of course! For some reason, however, I just don't fully expect him to do that. Something to think and pray about.
In the afternoon, I spent some time with my care group leaders as we all attended a home group training seminar where we taught about what home groups can do in the view of global missions. That was neat and I met a few new people and old friends in the process.
In the evening we went to visit our good friend Alice. Leah had a great time running around and playing with all of us. It was really neat to see her open up to someone so quickly.
Oh, I also wrote a song the other day, but I'm not sure I really like it. At one point is sounds too much like another song for my tastes so maybe I will change it. Either way, when I like it I'll post a video since that is easier than simply recording.
Still no computer, so still no pictures - sorry Jake ;)
Spirit of God, descend upon my heart
