... if I am not back again in 3 months, carry on carry on. So yes this classic queen song is stuck in my head. It has now been a week since mom went back home. I will be honest with you all that it has not been the easiest week. Let me say for the record I am so so so so so glad mom got to come, my only wish was that I was able to go home with her. But "Not yet, not yet" I have had a whole lot of time to think this last week. I have talked to others who have been in my shoes, and have felt my pain of being away from family. They and my own thoughts have all agreed that it stinks. But that is why they call it a sacrifice. Today I was writing a friend that I met while I have been here, and was telling her of my recent sad mood. I was explaining how even this week I have seen so many things that should ignite my passion, my want to be here but it still hasn't overcome. But then I went into detail about this one family that I met with last week: Saturday right after I came h...
So my last day of school was on friday. I worked hard all week for our big finale. The kids put on a big program for all the parents. It went really well, considering I was the sound and tech person. So many problems could have occurred, but thankfully my only problem was forgetting the Albanian word for stop. But the kids did great, and were absolutely adorable. When I pressed play for each groups theme song, I realized how much I love these kids. Its like it all just occurred to me in one moment. They came down the aisle of the church waving there small skinny arms and smiling from ear to ear. Memories of meeting each kid, and having special bonding moments with them over the past months flooded my mind. With the youngest group I use to sit in there room for about ten minutes everyday when there teacher would go buy the food for the day. At that time my Albanian was bare minimal, and my only option for entertainment was to make funny faces and noises. Thankfully for 3 and 4 year old...
I randomly got to take a weekend trip to Edinburgh, Scotland during Easter weekend. Last year around this time I took a trip to Northern Ireland. So I was very happy to go back to the United Kingdom this year but to the other known luscious green, fun accent filled country: Scotland! It quickly transformed just from a weekend fun trip to a needed spiritual renewal for me. My friend Hannah came with me, and we stayed with a Scottish lady who lives just outside of Edinburgh. The lady's name is Rosemary, and I can honestly say I believe she has changed my life. All my life I have had a series of people that I have met briefly, but have found myself in the most serious/ life changing conversations with. The kind of conversations where you just know God is speaking through them. I would not be anywhere close to where I am now, without these people. Well, Rosemary quickly became one of those people for me this past weekend. She is a true Christ follo...
