Internet connection is spotty at best. Right now I’m sitting at the “Bar Restorant” at the Tropikal Resort. And I’ve tried to connect 4 times today and failed, so now I’m writing my “blog” in word and hoping to paste and post when I’m done.
Today, I’m overwhelmed with the mundane. Serving God feels like it should feel bigger, more significant. When in reality serving God is much more about being faithful with the little things..… Like wiping little runny noses, pushing children on a swing, singing songs, playing a game of Red Rover, or Duck, Duck, Goose. Today, we taught the children about being sons and daughters of The King and they made crowns, decorated flip flops and hopefully learned the story of Jonah, if not for the first time then from a new perspective. Many little things. We ended our evening in a wonderfully American way. Sharing marshmellows (not available in Albania) over a bonfire and introducing our Albanian friends to S'mores!
It seems really hard to gain perspective in the midst of our experience. It could be mundane little things, but I hope that in the faithfulness of little things we are encouraging and blessing the people here. People who are giving their lives to ministry to see the people of Albania come to know Christ!
We are reading your posts every nite! (And watching World Cup soccer too, of course, but in our bedroom as opposed to in the street with the rest of the town like you are doing...) Thanks for keeping us up to date, and for being so honest in what you share.
