Chris writes: had a good few days away, some prayer, Bible study and managed to finish a book on discipleship. Feeling a little clearer about our future and wanting to be best used by God to serve the people of Kosova...that could mean moving from where we are now.
Was struck by many thoughtful sayings but this was one of my favourites, a few people claim it including Winston Churchill:
'We make a living by what we get - we make a life by what we give.'
We are seeking to make a life by what we give to the people of Kosova.....would appreciate continued prayer over our future and our desire to be best used by Him here.
The snow has all gone here now, so felt able to go out for a run today without danger of slipping........(hoping for a sponsored run in May....details to follow!!) never was much good at ice skating so it is good to see the ice all gone......ah the joys of spring!!

Chris writes: continuing on our journey and we have now been here in our house for three months. OM wisely ask that all new OMers spend thier first three months learning the language and this is what we have done...it has been tough but a great opportunity to spend so much time getting deeper into the country and culture. Not to say that we can speak it fluently...we will continue learning for sometime to come...but now maybe we can start to refocus.
For the next few days we will be praying and fasting over our future...please do remember us during these days and share any thoughts you have with us..
In Love, In Him xx

Journeying
Chris writes: reflection and looking back at where we have come from is so important. Was so encouraged and enriched by hearing someone share this morning and knowing that I played a small part in his journey.
This can encourage us and affirm where we are going... but as someone once said: it is not where you have come from that is important......but where you are going.
One other reminder I heard recently from Oswald Chambers:
'The greatest competitor of true devotion to Jesus is the service we do for him. It is easier to serve than to pour out our lives completely for Him'
God Bless you on your journey with Him.
