Be Flexible

The day could not have been orchestrated by anyone other then God. Be flexible. We started the day off to apply for a new license plate, which had been lost sometime after our arrival and drove past the American Embasy on the way. We prayed at a site near where traffickers are active - one could feel the darkness just driving thru, but God's light shined there today. God is always there when we call on him and even when we don't. He loves us that much! Then on to pick up supplies for our visits. Well, God says be flexible. Stop. The vehicle that had been parked outside the Customs Building was broken in to - so we ate in the Customs cafeteria and exchanged our money while the paperwork was being processed. We even had a willing driver to get the 2nd vehicle back to the office i.e. flexibility. We picked up supplies at the office then on to visit the CPS Community Center and passed out vitamins and candy. We sang and shared with them. Be flexible. We then drove north to an orphanage and spent quite a bit of time there. We passed out candy, vitamins and toothbrushes. Then we played outside with the children - it was both heartbreaking and heartwarming. I played with a little girl, Inga, about 6 years old. I pray that God will fill her heart with his love. All the children want is to be heard, loved, touched and wanted. These are things that all people want. They love Oleg so - they swarm to him as he loves on them. He is their tangible light. We were able to provide a brief glimmer of light, because Jesus is the light. His light shines thru us when we are obedient to his will. I ask all reading to pray for me to continue to be obedient. Be flexible - obedience requires this of us. We also visited a Tansition Home - what a miracle. Girls come here to live after dismissal from the orphanage. This home teaches girls life skills to survive - it teaches them a vocation. We met Kristinia, 17 years old who is studying social work in college. We also met another Kristina, who is 14 years old. We talked with them and prayed with them. Talk about passionate prayer - God was among us, I know it. God is doing amazing things here. I am so thankful he wanted me to be a part of it. I love Jesus and all he is doing here - Awesome!
