Oh How He Loves

So this trip has turned out to be so different than my expectations. The only thing I am disappointed in is that I have not gotten to share my testimony with my professor. With that being said, God has spoken to me in ways I could have never imagined, opened up doors for me with new people and He even took the time to find a Polish student who would give me such great encouragement. I have been given a sneak peek into the heart of God and realize that He loves each and every person so much and desires for all to come to Him. When they die and are separated from Him, He isn't just sitting up there happy to be rid of this non-believer. He mourns for His lost children. At Majdanek, I could almost feel His sorrow as He was comforting me in my sorrow.

Today is Auschwitz and I am praying that God will speak to me and use me on this day. God this is the day that you have made, take this day and use it as you wish.

The Trip Thus Far

So the trip has been amazing so far. I am learning so much about my creator and about how He loves. For now I am just going to begin introducing you all to the people I am with.

My Rommie: Jennifer Kral
This half Serbian/half Czech history graduate is seriously one of the sweetest people ever. She is not opposed to the concept of God but hasn't really said what she believes in that way. She is encouraging to me though and easily one of the sweetest people you could ever meet. She is so silly too which has been nice seeing as we go to some pretty horrific places and she never ceases to make me giggle. She is one of the pickiest eaters ever and she readily admits it. She just got into the credential program at CSULB which makes me happy because I totally get to bug her for another year.

I have been praying for her a lot in that God would just bless her and just make Himself so real in her life. We have connected so quickly and that is a blessing and she said she would even come to Navs to hear me play sometime. I am blessed!
