I love it. I know there are many things that make it hard, especially the separation from family and friends, the constant struggle to legally live here (i.e. visa obtainment) but.... I feel so fortunate to have been able to study russian language 2 years in K-dar. To now be able to communicate. To be starting friendships. To be where I know God wants us right now. Jeff is in the kitchen with a friend of ours, who is a foreigner from another land, who has been reading the book of John for the first time ( and in his own language, not russian). He is going through it with Jeff, covering the things he didn't understand when he was reading and asking Jeff those questions. I am in the living room, I feel like jumping for joy because this man is feeding on the truth of Christ!
There are times of discontentment in life wherever you may live. But then there are times of contentment, when your cituation is such that there is just no way you can deny that God is orchestrating everything and you just want to shout Halelujah! This is one of those days for me. Lord, help me to remember to be content in any circumstance like Paul, (Phil 4:12).
The more I pray, the more I see that God is working and am open to it. The less I pray, the more discouraged I feel. I am learning to follow closer after God. Teach me Lord!
This adventure with God continues. Thanks for your prayers, friends.

I'm reading a book right now called "The Contented Soul: the art of savoring life." It was written by Lisa McMinn who was a Wheaton prof. Good stuff in there about finding our true heart's fulfillment, which is something I'm really soaking in right now.
