Church today J I’ve been reading the book “Stepping Heavenward”… it’s a great story, and of course also full of much good spiritual lessons. One seemingly repetitive theme is our sin and what our reaction to it should be—the book explores our human tendency to get focused on our sin and badness, thinking we can never recover or be profitable for God… this is indeed a temptation for me at times! The character whose journal it is encourages instead (as she learns) that we look to Christ instead in realization that we can never be perfect, but already are in him, who loves us…
It has rained a lot today, off and on, even poured at times. Nice. Church was good, and so was young professionals (college group like). Talked about femininity… I told Laura she ought to show her affirmation to Stephen’s leadership by showing him little kindnesses like giving him a shoulder rub, etc… she thinks my awkward jokes hilarious.
Yesterday we went to the beach at Durres with the youth group, which was tons of fun despite the CRAZY wind. Laura's story of the day here.
Eva’s kindness hospitality is indeed humbling. She is most content when we are, and insists we treat her home like our own… leave our things on the tables and drawers, eat whatever, etc. She is wonderfully kind. And we eat so healthy and well!
Tomorrow is teaching… I shall trust.
