Time flies when your having fun......

or when you are working hard! I am already halfway through my yea in Poland and the New Year was a good time to reflect and look back at all God has done in the past 6 months. It was also an opportunity to refocus and decide what my priorities are for 2008. There is so much I can do that I really have to seek God on what is best for me to do. As at home I often spread myself too thin-working at 150% can only last for a little while!

We had some days in the mountains with maximums of MINUS 7 degrees-so I got the chance to try cross country and downhill skiing, toboganing and snow hiking, but now the winter is much milder with maximums of plua 7 and the sn coming out everyday! It is so nice, reminds me of the kind of days we would go ot for picnics on in winter in Australia!

I was meant to be going to Spain for a missions conference this Saturday-however the conference was cancelled. My Bible study group said it is an answer to prayer as the week I was going to be away has already been booked with outreach and Church activities. At Bible study we are writing a doctrinal statement so we can express clearly what we believe. We are also running a Church service on the 20th of January and organising monthly students coffee shop events.

Some REALLY exciting news is that one of my students has started coming to Church! Also I have made friends with a girl from Childrens Club-she seems to be one of the "ring leaders" who others follow so suddenly I find myself interacting with people at Childrens Club. Hername is Asia and she was telling people I am from Africa!! I speak to her in Polish as much as possible but she also understands a little English.

Please pray for me-I often find myself out of league when people confide in me about very serious life issues. All we can do is leave it at the foot of the cross. Our God is an awesome God!
