A new culture, a new home, a new team and a new family.
Someone once told me that "commit” means “to roll.” It comes down to trust, of turning something over to another for management, letting them carry the load. The idea is that of rolling it from yourself (the place of self-trust) onto the Lord so that we are trusting Him with the issues, and resting in His sovereignty.
On Tuesday, June 6th, I joined the Lord's team for me to serve with. God chose Serbia for me. He chose Sremska Mitrovica. He chose Tanja, Boki, Steve, Bojan and Stojce to be my team, my friends, my family. I didn't chose this. He did.
I have received more love than I can comprehend from this new family. I feel I have known them for life. Tanja has befriended me as an intimate sister; Steve has granted His excitement to have me; Boki, at just five years old has taught me so much Serbian already with such grace; Bojan has helped throw an entire welcome home party with the Mitrovica youth group; and Stojce drove over two hours the day my flight landed just to say I am glad you are here.
When we submit our plans to His, we loved more than we can understand. Serbia is home for now. Home is love. The will of the Lord is victory, joy and peace to walk in.
