A moment where all I can do is think about all the abandoned babies I held in Romania. All I can picture is the little faces of children in Sumugiu and seeing them chase after our VW Golf as we drove into the village. They were so excited to have someone taking time to be with them, play with them...love them!
I have moments where I just want to be there. My heart still feels a little broken at times and I wonder if I will ever not want to be there. Honestly, I hope that never goes away. I hope that I never forget ( i really don't see how I can!) those faces, those little bodies that had no one to rock them and change their diapers. Those sweet families in Cherichu who need money and food and jobs and grace and love and someone to teach them how to parent.
I know the Lord brought our family here to reach those in North Knoxville and I do believe we are right where we are supposed to be, but that doesn't mean I always like it. I really love Romania. I really love North Knoxville. Sometimes I just wish I could live in both places, but that is not possible. I am learning contentment and trust still. I thought I was passed all of this, but clearly, I'm not! Sheesh!
So as I type with tears streaming down my face thinking of all of our friends in Romania, please pray for them.
-Please just take a moment to pray for the missionaries.
-Pray for the abandoned babies there. I am so thankful for a couple we know that are now paying the salary of one to two nurses to care for these babies full time!
-Praising God that the Bruski family will be starting work back up in Sumugiu starting this month. They went this week and the families are doing well.
-Pray for families in Cherichu who have no jobs and are very hungry and need money to pay bills.
-Pray for salvation among the Nations--that they may be glad because of what Jesus has done for them!
