I really can't believe it is Thursday already and that I've been in CE for almost two weeks! The time is going by very quickly.(gyorsan!) The weather the past few days has been so pretty. Mike told me we are on the same latitude as Toronto. One thing I can't quite ever get used to is the fact that the sun comes up at around four A.M. Rise and shine!
Today we met with some of the Budapest team to talk about the VBS and English camps next week. We start quite early each morning with VBS, break for lunch, and then work with the kids on two hours of English in the afternoons. Should make for busy days, but no doubt lots of fun. If you would, please pray for five members of a team from North Carolina who will join us for the camps. There are already predictions of bad weather for tomorrow(Friday) in NY, and the team is flying through JFK. For any of you who have experienced delays with regard to weather, you know how frustrating it can be, and the team could be delayed as much as an entire day if they miss their international connection. We're trusting God for their safe travels and arrival, but would certainly appreciate prayers! Please also be praying for the kids who are registering for the camps. The Lord knows just who He wants to be there, and we look forward to seeing who that will be. The numbers are down a bit from last year, so we're hoping for a few more to register.
Please also pray for another team of friends who are traveling today. Katie McClung, Anna Horne, Bonnie Parker and another girl from the U.S. are traveling right now to partner with Attila and Adel Toth's ministry in Romania. For the last four years through their ministry called "Teleios," Bonnie and her husband Floyd (who live in Greenville, S.C.) have partnered with the Toths to hold camps for gypsy children from a village called Apalina. Attila is what I would call a joyful bear of a man, and he and his wife Adel love the Lord and have a tremendous heart for these gypsy people. I had the privelege of meeting them last summer in the States, and it was such a thrill to get to hear how God is working through them to minister to these dear gypsy people. They were instant friends and I love them. Please pray for them and the team as they serve for two weeks starting Monday. Szivem és imaim veletek vannak!
God is at work--in many wonderful ways. More than I can count. Thank you, Lord.
"Gratitude exclaims, very properly, ‘How good of God to give me this.’ Adoration says, ‘What must be the quality of that Being whose far-off and momentary coruscations are like this!’ One’s mind runs back up the sunbeam to the sun." C. S. Lewis
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
