and the countdown begins



I have one more full day left in Lushnje before I head to Tirane for a week with all my things. I will be coming back for two days right before I leave for a nice goodbye to my year of interesting adventure in Albania. Right now I am thinking how fast just this past month has been and how this week has lasted a second. One by one I have been packing my things but I have been amazed of how hard it has been. Not necessarily like "O my goodness this is so tough getting all of this in these tiny bags". No it was more like I just didnt want to pack. Which is very strange for me. Usually I love packing, it means a new adventure is before me. But this one is different. I am full of such mixed emotions.

This week I am doing a VBS at my church. The first two days were just the pastors kids, but today randomly we had 4 brand new kids. That might not seem a lot to all of the mega church's out there but here that is amazing! I was so excited. It was a huge MM (Miraculous Moment) for me today!

God is good, all the time!

Easter in Edinburgh!

Image
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...

A new week... A new beginning... A new attitude

I have a re-accuring problem. Where I tend to get overwhelmed, my way of coping is to do nothing. Some of you are saying right now "well good, just leave it alone." but clearly you don't know me. When I say nothing, I mean absolutely nothing. I block out everything. I tend to stay towards the home, watch way too many movies and tv shows. I stop writing friends back. My parents are close to marking me MIA, since they haven't heard from me in weeks. I guess in my silly head the only way to deal with a problem is to act like it is invisible. You would think at 26 I would still not have such naive thoughts. Sadly I do. But today I woke up, took my time getting ready, and opened the shop. I felt something I haven't felt in a couple weeks- I felt calm. Some days feel rushed, like you are continually fighting to catch up with the rest of the world. But today does not feel like that at all. It is like everyone is on the same relaxed wave link. Everyone seems h...

Apple Pie and I open my mouth...

Image
Yay! I made an Apple Pie in Albania! Ha Ha, I know kind of a rare accomplishment, but I was quite happy. I would like to give a big thanks to my father for teaching me how to make an apple pie with out a mixer, getting the recipe for me, and reminding me that they are Celsius people over here not Fahrenheit. Last Saturday I made macaroni & cheese for the family, they were very interested afterwards and wanted me to make more American things. So I realized that they don't really bake here, I mean they bake breads. But not pies, brownies, or cakes. So I said it's Apple Pie time! I have to say I was pretty proud of myself, It was very very yummy. They seemed to like it as well, but I was surprised how the kids were so scarred of it. Who is afraid of tasting Apple Pie? ha ha well these kids are, it was like seeing mu gai pan for the first time. Anyways I had a grand time making it with Elka, and I am already thinking of what I shall make next. Oh P.S. The 4th video of my virtu...
