krakow on independence day
Right now I’m in Krakow. It’s been snowing all afternoon and it’s dusting the square. Some of it is actually beginning to stick. The ground is somewhat icy and I’ve sought a warm spot in an internet cafe near the square. I’ve really enjoyed my time here and have needed a chance to refresh and recharge. It’s amazing how much a drain ministry can be on you especially when you put so much pressure on yourself to perform. I’ve got a lot of learning to do. I’ll head back to Kosice tonight with a better perspective on life and hope for the future.
It’s been interesting to be here for the past few nights. Jenny Rone came down from Sweden and Jenn Prince is here from the Raleigh regional team. It’s been good to spend some time with them and to be refreshed by their wisdom and conversation.
In just a week and a half the american part of my team will head to Prague for thanksgiving and after that my friend Stacy is coming in from America. I’m looking quite forward to having visitors here! Sometimes, even thought I am on a team, it is easy to get lonely and feel isolated here. I’ve been thinking of ways to combat loneliness, but I think there is still a reality when you live overseas in a non-english speaking country.
I’ll add pictures and video soon.
