Sorry I have not kept up with our blog lately, but I will post more frequent this coming year. For a while I was doing well with it and then it just kinda fell off my map. A quick review since Thanksgiving; went to Berlin, had Christmas and New Years here, my brother Chris came and went to Paris, went to Berlin again and had an opportunity to speak there and now school is starting back up. I forgot to mention that Julia now works at my building with me and likes it better, but on a daily basis we both have to ask for grace to get through the day, as our 2 weeks notice is always a “print” away. It’s really just living life in another country, while working with American kids who need parents, and seeing ministry first hand from a German perspective, while at the same time having an opportunity of a lifetime. I have had a great detox from American Christian subculture that really strips away a lot of things you can hide behind as a Christian, and this detox makes you look straight at God. I can’t say I pass many test with flying colors, as this last week after preaching on Joseph and his awful circumstances and his Gospel response he gave. I some what failed the test not loving work and having a unbiblical response to my emotions, as I was picking kids off the floor and separating others from hitting each other. We are entering month 5 soon and I am very glad to see where and what God has brought us through so far. We have made some very close friendships and continue to make new ones. Cant wait to see what happens in this next year and thanks again for continually encouraging us and praying for us.
