Blessings

I would like to simply take a minute to reflect on the blessings of God. As I lay in my bed last night I was overwhelmed by how great is the love that God has for me. He gave His son to take the punishment for my sin so that He could have a relationship with me. What is the result of this relationship? Well, it is a lot more work on His part than mine most of the time. And I am a miserable failure. He can do amazing things and the next minute I am wondering why He is not doing something else that I had on my agenda for him to complete. But He loves me despite my failure and He reaffirms this and continues to love on me. He has shown himself to me in amazing ways through his provision in many different ways: financial support, emotional support as well as strenghtening me for each day of interaction with the children.
As a result of His love he doesn't just pour, he dumps blessings into my life. Particularly while I have been here in Romania YOU have blessed my socks off! I am blown away by all of your notes of encouragement, your constant prayers, and your excitement and enthusiasm for what God is doing.
I have been humbled by the fact that God would use me to minister to and love these children. To tell them stories, to sing to them, to hug them and to laugh with them. What a huge blessing and one of the greatest opportunities of my life.
Multumesc--Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Blessings!

Our God is an awesome God. His love and blessings are overwhelming.

Psalm 47:1-2
1 Clap your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.
2 How awesome is the LORD Most High,
the great King over all the earth!
