Focus on the Provider rather than the Provision...

Wow.

Met some Roma soccer players.... I have no idea who they were, but it was sweet... they were sweaty.. but hey- lol.

Have had an amazing time bonding with some people here- I am just constantly blown away by the people on project with me.... Today one of the people on STINT gave a devotion and it was just so inspiring. She was reading from Jeremiah 29:11-14 and talking about how God does have a plan for us, and that he will provide for us as long as we seek Him. She talked about how for so long she just wanted to know what God had planned for her and was worried\concerned about it.... finally she had an Aha moment and realized that God promised to reveal himself to her, not necessarily "Okay.. so do this and then that" she was so focused on the provision... that she forgot to simply enjoy and get to know the provider!!! What a blessing that was to hear and to think about.

Met two Catholics today- one from Austria and another from Congo.... Isnt that awesome? They both want to go back, we encouraged Ulla to reach out and share her faith with others. The one from Congo wanted to see Missionaries come back to Congo and was getting his degree so he could go back and hopefully help towards peace. The girl, Ulla, was so sweet. You could tell she had such a gentle spirit and she spoke with us of how Austria was starting to have a lot of Atheists, and how it was sad for her.

Tomorrow we go out again, please pray for us and that God will use us in the lives of Italian students. That we will share the gospel in a humble, loving, and genuine way.

I am doing a devotional tomorrow as well... please pray for me in that as well...

Also, praise God for my Uncles surgery going so well!

Love you all...
