I love these kids.

I know I said the next post would be about the class I just finished taking in seminary, but I had these pics and just wanted to share a little about these awesome kids.

I've talked about how I teach english at a Sunday school type meeting on Saturday mornings, well we have been meeting again this new year and I leave every meeting tired but so thankful! All 6 kids have been coming these past Saturdays (which is rare to have all 6) and I have just grown closer and closer to each of them. They all have their own personalities and quirks that always seem to make me laugh.

We usually start by praying with the kids and this past Saturday we had a prayer in Russian, Romanian, and English. Every time that happens it just blows me away because I know that God understands every single word! I shared with the kids right after how cool I thought this was and they agreed. One boy Sasha even went on to say how God is all-powerful and all knowing, that of course He understands all of us, even when we're all talking at once. I wish I had this kinds of wisdom at age 12!

After the meeting from 10-12 we have the kids club at the church at 2 and they're always there and yesterday Sasha who usually runs the meetings let the kids be in charge. Which I wasn't so sure about, but they did great! I see God changing every single one their lives week by week and it just brings me joy.

Here are some pics of these cool kids, and I ask that they would be in your prayers: Sasha, Victor, Vaunya, Katie, Anya, and Susha

Much love and blessings to you all,

Sometimes I know I need do write a new post, but I just don't know what to write. I mean if anyone knows me they know I have plenty of words to say, but I don't feel like any of them are right. I battle with do I write an update of the last weeks and possible sound boring and repetitive or do I try to put some inspiration in these words.

But the more I think about it I realize, that it's just a blog and the reason I even have this space is because I love all of you who read it. You have all supported me in one way or another, whether it be by prayer, financially, or honestly even reading this and being curious about what is happening in my life and how God is using me over here in Moldova.

If you're wondering what has been happening in my life I can give you a synopsis: Went home to the US for Christmas and it was 3 and half weeks completely full of blessings and love with my family and close friends. I'm so thankful for that trip it was the great refresher that I needed. Now I'm back in Moldova and pretty much back on the same schedule and tasks as before. I'm excited to be back, and have this gut feeling that God is about to do some huge things in me. It's scary and exciting at the same time, but I'm ready and eager. I'm taking a class right now at seminary taught by an American professor and we are going through the book Grace Rules by Steve Mcvey, and it's good stuff. The deeper I get into it though the more challenging it is, but challenges can be good. I have looked back in my life and have noticed how I've grown the most from my biggest challenges in life.

Already working on the post for when the class is over, and I have a feeling it might be a long one ha

Blessing to all of you in this new year.

Much Love, Bethany
