Yesterday, I HATED Romania. I was so frustrated with a lot of things that I came home early, and wrote a journal entry of the top 8 things (i couldn't choose 5) that enfuriated me that day. Then I cried a bit, swore a bit, and went running for the first time in Romania. Running is dangerous here because of all th potentially rabid street dogs that chase you, but I did it anyways. It helped.
Today, I LOVED Romania. We went for a hike in the snowy mountains, and on an alpine ridge I belly flop/penguin sledded down a small snowblanketed ravine with Briana. As I write this, I am thinking about the soup I will make with my new roommate tonight and observe the vivid sunest on the mountains outside, setting the willow tree outside my window ablaze with sunlight.
Sometimes, I'm a touch bipolar.
Check out my pictures!
Things you can pray for
- That I leave this place in a healthy way, facilitating closure to this chapter of my life.
- My dear friend Andreea and her new baby, diagnosed with down syndrome. This is a family under trememdous stress with few resources. Pray for strength, courage and discernment as they make decision regarding their future.
- The foundation- praise God for new staffers and sources of money! Pray for responsible stewardship of our resources and sustainable solutions.
- My assessment work- i can explain what i have done clearly and hand the next step over to others to take the baton and run with it
