Back in Rostov again and life is passing by quickly!
It is hard to believe that it is almost June... the only thing that makes me realize it is that is is getting very hot here and the temperature is only going to keep going up for the time being!
Most days right now do not seem to have enough hours in them. I leave early and get back home late. We are busy with DTS plans and recruiting. Ministry on the streets, lots and lots of meetings, planning trips/outreaches for the summer... the list can continue...

all for what? I was challenged today as I was praying for a young lady on our base, She is stressed. God spoke to me about how he desires mercy not sacrifice... but to me it seems a contradiction at times. WHY? because I also know that there are sacrifices to be made, but ultimately I don't think that is how God wants us to live all the time. He is a good father! He gives good gifts! Yes there will be challenging times, yes there will be trials... but HE is faithful.
I know, I am preaching to myself... a little self processing.
My thoughts also went to Mary and Martha... I am sure we all know the story. Who am I like? Who do I want to be like? I also want to have time to be with Jesus. I DO want Him to be the focus of all that I do and say...
Its not just about my line of work or anything... its in everything for everybody, right?
