I think a good place to start would be a very special thank you to everyone who has remembered me in your prayers. I think some times we forget what prayer can really do, what it means to the people we pray for, and what a privilege it is to be able to talk to God personally. How awesome is it that I can be anywhere, doing anything, and talk to my Jesus about whatever is going on! Tonight a couple of the other intern girls (Molly and Hannah) and I went to Stephanie's house for dinner and some girl time. After hanging out and talking Stephanie prayed for us, which doesn't seem like it would be a big deal, but I know it meant a lot to all of us. Rarely, do we pray for someone on the spot, but what an encouragement that is! God is so good.
Praises from the week:
- The Doctor came and gave me antibiotics! Thank you Lord!
- Thankful for the girl interns from the States- we all get along really well- huge praise!
- We had beet soup yesterday, potatoes, eggs, and cooked carrots today- thankful for food that doesn't hurt my throat! (awh it's truly the little things in life!)
- Culture shock is wearing off.
- Last but not least, I'm feeling better today! Huge praise again!
The smallest gestures mean the world, and the days that I feel well are a blessing. During the week we always have a meeting where we read scripture, pray, and discuss what needs to be accomplished that day. Thursday we read Psalms 30 and the first 2 verses stood out to me the most. The first verse talked about God not letting our enemies defeat us, and verse 2 talked about the Lord hearing our cries and healing us, which is exactly what I did that day. I prayed and cried out to God for physical healing, which may sound a little drastic. I don't feel like it was at all. I'm stilling praying that same prayer. Being healthy and having the physical ability to do anything, it's a gift. I used to run or workout everyday, but right now I'm excited that I can work and go for a walk. I'm not telling you these things for pity, but rather to have you stop and recognize the little gifts God gives you every day. Praise God for caring about the little things in our lives.
Much Love,
Do Widzenia,
