Random Thoughts...


This is just a random picture of one of my favorite scenes here in Poland...after dinner coffee and conversation with Amber and Patsy. Amber and I have really enjoyed learning to cook here in Poland and have enjoyed having Patsy over frequently to sample our creations (pray for Patsy!). I, of course, love eating the food, but the best part as far as I'm concerned is sitting around after the meal, drinking coffee (and maybe eating a little chocolate) and visiting. I've loved getting to know these two women and am so thankful that God has put them in my life. They are truly a blessing and I am grateful that God knows our needs and has plans to meet these needs before we even encounter them. It's so easy for me to fret and worry about the future, but that's when I need to remember God's promise:
"Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs, and He will give you all you need from day to day if you live for Him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern." Matthew 6:32-33
The more I get to know Amber and Patsy, the more I see God's wisdom and sovereignty in putting us all here together and it encourages me to trust that God is in control and has perfect plans for my future.
"The Lord says, 'I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you' " Psalm 32:8

I like that picture. Is that your flat or Patsy's? What's the pix on the wall? I can't tell. I read this in Better Homes: take a cotton shower curtain w/ a pretty design and stretch it on a mat covered with batting. Voila: wall art. At least it worked in the mag. Have a cup for me! Love ya!

I'll agree there's not much better than having coffee with friends! I am envious that you get to do it so often!

Do you realize that the picture on Amber's blog of you 2 eating ice cream - you have the same noses? Strange, but true.

Hi! I have been reading all of your blogg entries, but have been a bit lax at adding comments lately. Maybe I should start checking them earlier in the day instead of on my way to bed! Keep adding new posts. I love to hear about your progress with your Bible classes and your adventures with Amber and Patsy!

after dinner coffee and conversation..now that would be nice! We have after dinner madness as we pick up food thrown on the floor, go straight to the tub because we're covered in spaghetti and all of the others messes of parenting toddlers!
