It is so hard to believe that I have been in Kosova for 2 years now, and that it was 4 years ago when I first came to this country I now consider my home. When I first decided to accept the call to Kosova, a very good friend told me to "hold on tight...!" What an understatement, but I would not change any of it for the world.
I have learned so much about the Lord during this time...and He has shown me so much about who I am, and who He wants me to be. I have learned what it means to say, "He is my all in all!" I have learned about the power of fervent prayer, and I have felt the love and prayers of each of my faithful friends and supporters.
God in His faithfulness goes before me each day. Sometimes I have to be reminded to let Him go first, and to do things according to His plans and timing, not mine. He provides exactly what I need for each day...patience when the power and water aren't working, divine appointments when I need to be reminded of why I am here, encouraging words from friends, and situations where I am forced to use my Albanian and gain some confidence in speaking with people who cross my path each day.
"Lord, thank you for who You are and Your faithfulness when my faith is weak and wavering. Help me to keep my eyes firmly focused on You, and my heart tuned to hear only Your words. Use me Lord, for Your purpose. I want to be bold in sharing Your truth, but most importantly I want to be bold in reaching out and loving the people of Kosova, of Malishevë, with the same love You have shown to me. Help me to not be fearful or discouraged. Let all that I do and say be for Your glory Lord. There is much work to be done..."
Amen
