I want to update this more often, but more often than not, I just don't have the energy. As much as I get run down and tired in Bosnia, nothing says tired to me more than furlough. I love seeing everyone, catching up, being with family... I just wish everyone could come to me instead of me going to them. No "job" is perfect I guess :) It's frustrating though when people think furlough is just a long vacation. I wish. I sure could use a long vacation. Oh well. I am really looking forward to seeing some good friends in the coming weeks, and have really enjoyed being with really good friends this past week.
It's very fulfilling being back at my home church... I've never gone to a chiroprator (I've watched one in action, and well, oowwww....) but I feel like I'm being "realigned" spiritually. It's good to be with old friends from church. It's good to make new friends at church. It's good to hear the Gospel preached. It's nice to be able to go to church and not feel like i"m at work. It's nice to be able to go with my guard down and be ministered to and just be there with no expectations. It was nice to go to the women's bible study and not have to prepare anything. Do you know how great it is to go to a bible study and NOT worry about saing something grammatically incorrect? Heavenly... believe you me...
All that said, I really do miss Bosnia, and my life there. I called Nela yesterday, and as soon as she realized it was me, the frst thing out of her mouth was "When are you coming back?" From what Nela said, the church hasn't met since Christmas. I don't know. I find that sad. I think Nela does too. Pray for her... pray for the Church.
Pray for me. I'm tired. Still. I thought I'd be dancing in the streets by now, but I'm still dreading having to get out of bed. But God is good. he's provided a rental car this week, and a new couple from my church is letting me borrow their car for two weeks after that. I've had a great time with family and friends. I'll be traveling around Florida for the next 2 weeks, so pray for safety and a fun time.
I hope all of you are doing well - May God bless you greatly with His grace this year...
