Faithfulness

Ps 13 and 1 John 5 Wow. It was exactly what I needed today. If you've been reading along with me this last week, you'll have obviously noted that I've been having a rough week. Well, before the foundation of time, G0d planned a Russian national holiday for this Friday. It was SO what I needed. I had the whole day yesterday to clean, to relax, to read, to organize, to think, to cook, to just be. I've been experiencing the overwhelming desire to control everything (which is a sure fire symptom of culture stress). I think it's also just there's a LOT going on and Jim and Sally are back in the States and it's falling to me for the time being.

Back to the reading. It was really just the exact encouragement that I needed to read this morning. It's Saturday now and I'm about to delve into the wonderful world of Russian grammar again, but these words are really uplifting:

"But I trust in your unfailing love, my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to the L0rd for he has been good to me."

So - I guess I won't sing as no one needs their ears to bleed today, but nonetheless, the bad streak is broken and I'm baa-aack!

Random note: today I baked pistachio bread… mmm-mmmm delicious.
