The idea for this post is completely copied from Rachel at Djibouti Jones. I (Alyssa) enjoy her posts each week, and thought I’d give it a try here. Let’s call it a weekly mash-up of our lives in Sofia and what we’re checking out online.
I liked the encouragement and influence K-Love has on our family. We play it all the time, including when anyone is having trouble sleeping. It sounds like home and is comforting to all of us. The kids even make K-Love appointments with their friends- both of them listening at the same time, from different continents.
I liked this post from Rachelle Wright. It made me think, and I enjoy this type of “digging deep” post.
I like/don’t like the struggle we are having with feeling like we need to earn our financial support. I appreciate the accountability, and the need to make sure we are fully engaged and active in ministry here. I dislike the tendency I have to focus on pleasing supporters, rather then pleasing and obeying God. I like the way this forces me to consider my motives and challenges my level of obedience to God.
I didn’t like the struggle this week to both find our niche here in Bulgaria and choose the right places to jump in and get involved. I didn’t like the feeling of being here, but not really fully HERE yet.
I liked seeing my kids make new friends, and meeting families from around the world at our new Expat play group. Praying for ministry connections there.
I liked the new possibilities that presented themselves this week. We have multiple ministry avenues we’re exploring, and it’s exciting to think about what God will do.
I liked having our first guests in our new apartment.
I didn’t like waking at 4am to the sounds of some random stranger puking under my window.
I liked how Pinterest makes it easy to find recipes. Like, for example, what to do with the ground ham I bought while trying to buy ground beef.
I liked the encouraging posts from family and friends. We have a great support network. I love you all.
