Getting worse before it gets better
I'm talking about the disaster of unpacking and a few other things. My bags arrived last night and praise Jesus everyone I worked with from Tarom airlines was wonderfully polite and spoke English. Sadly I was disobedient when my mom told me to put the containers of cocoa into ziplocs and one of them exploded over half of a very large bag. DISASTRU! (=disaster) However things are washing up nicely so far. I still have so much organizing to do and we need to redo the pantry now that we have gone shopping and the first round of American food has arrived in my bags. As I was unpacking I realized that I have 3 bags of things that are not mine, which makes me feel so much better about the 7 I brought over.
It's official that I'm working with Casa Ana and Bethany with Casa Nadia, but we plan to spend time at both houses. I just can't imagine and Bethany encouraged me with, "It just wouldn't be right," not continuing those relationships I've already built with the Nadia kids. It's so odd because most of those kids I wanted on the list to be in our care and I felt like I fought for them in our "pick the kids" meetings. Oh well, God knows what He is doing as He guides our hearts.
Kids are others that are included in getting worse before better. Please pray for Casa Nadia as things have not settled down as much as I thought they would in the 3 weeks I was gone. Pray especially for the Simon brothers, Madalin, Daniel and Sergiu. Pray for them to make attachments that are meaningful for their emotional and spiritual development. I ask that you continue to pray for Zorro from Casa Ana, as his behavior has changed since I left, but it is odd in my personal opinion. And of course pray for this Christmas season to be about Christ. What a blessing that we have so many gifts coming over but Christmas needs to be about The Gift.
