It was a wonderful week in Tirgu Mures, Romania where I taught at the flegling YWAM base. It was the first week of the School of Worship and the DTS, so they combined the students for a week on "Worship". The 9 students were hungry, open, and eager to learn and grow = a teacher's dream!
One morning I sent them into the town to express their worship for God in whatever way God would show them. It was only an hour, but they came back with reports of praying for the sick, playing with children or picking up trash in the name of Christ. We discovered together that worship is honoring and loving God every minute of every day, not just singing songs together. It was a rich time and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these special brothers and sisters from all over the world (Romania, Canada, USA, Philippines, Finland, Holland, and Ireland).
I arrived back in Holland late Saturday night to a very excited ball of fur: Honey! And, with a deep sigh, slept peacefully in my own bed. So many travels this year so far: USA, Egypt, N.Ireland, England, Ireland, Romania, Holland... it's been very FULL and FULfilling! I'm deeply grateful for the open doors of effective ministry and that God counts me worthy to be a woman of influence in His Kingdom.
As I write this my mother is in the hospital awaiting surgery on her left elbow which she broke a few days ago when she fell at home. We're thankful it wasn't a hip she broke, which would have totally incapacitated her but a broken elbow is extremely painful. She is very discouraged right now because she fell on her knees, then her elbow... so her knees are swollen and she's unable to stand right now. Her right shoulder has bursitis and her left elbow is broken so she's feeling very helpless and a bit hopeless. Please lift her up in your prayers.
