cor.us.ca.tion (ˌkɒrəˈskeɪʃən) -- a sudden flash of light; sparkle; scintilate; gleam

I was fascinated with this word after reading the above quote from C. S. Lewis. What a marvelous thought that God gives us glimpses of His image on this earth by "coruscating" Himself in our daily lives. The purpose of this blog is to "coruscate" Him back "with radiant face;" to "reflect in flashes" who He is by praising Him for His work in my life.

The fellowship of believers is one of God's richest blessings. If anything I write here points you to Christ, or sheds the slightest glimmer of light along your path, then all the Glory belongs to God! Thanks for reading, and may the Father richly bless you!

Glorify the Lord with me, let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. Psalm 34:3-5

Szia! Dzsenifer vagyok!

First day of VBS and English Camps, and what a blast. We ended up with 17 students, ranging in age from 9 to 14, and all having varying degrees of English learning and understanding. The morning for me was spent teaching VBS songs and trying to have the students understand idioms like "get in the groove" and "paint the town." Thankfully we had excellent help from our translators, American father and daughter team Evan and Kelly, and Hungarians Szasza and Kristi. I think I have learned the key to teaching these VBS songs--don't be afraid to look incredibly silly.



After lunch break we returned to the classrooms for English lessons. What a joy to get to watch my dear friend Karen teach. We had a great time with our class of 5--Sara, Richi, Timi, Dora, and Luca. Karen taught with books, games, songs, and a whole battery of tricks. It was fun hearing the students try to pronounce sounds that don't exist in their language, like "th" sounds. You can see some attempts in the pictures.











The boy in the picture is Richi. He was so much fun today. I didn't find out until after camp that his mother died when he was very young, and that his father is currently dying. Richi lives with am uncle right now. He is very bright and seems to be a happy boy. Pray that we can have the opportunity to find out more about his faith. The girl on the left in the blue is Dora. The look on her face represents well her demeanor for most of the day--uncertain and painfully shy. I was able to have some one on one time with her today working on her numbers. Pray for more opportunities to love on her and make her feel welcome and more sure of herself.

Praise the Lord, the heat has broken this evening. Will be cool sleeping for the first time in 3 days. Thank you for your prayers!

Day 2 is fast approaching!
