Let It Snow:)

Snow has come once again to Bucuresti, Romania. My roommate tells me it started in the middle of the night, but I can only be sure there is snow on the ground and it is still lightly falling. The city looks so much brighter and cleaner with that thin layer of beauty shrouding the dirtiness beneath. I can't say that I am looking forward to walking on snow or ice, but looking out on the city from the 8th story of my apartment building, it looks beautiful.

Father God, I thank you for your beauty and the world you have created that shares some of that beauty with us. May we turn our eyes to you.

Goodbye

It seems to be the regular pattern here to celebrate the comings and goings. God graciously brought us a number of new teachers and families this year at BCA and others are leaving. A number of our Korean families are leaving mid-year to return to Korea. Another family will be leaving because of medical reasons. It is hard to see dear friends and precious students leave, not knowing when we will meet again. For many, we have the hope that if not on this earth, we will be reunited in heaven. Praise God!

Still

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust

The last two months have been beyond what I could have anticipated. The beginning rush of school just hasn't seemed to end. It is such a blessing to know that I can find rest with Christ-that I know that He is Lord of everything and knows what is right around the corner too!
