A week flew by. Every day filled with social engagements and coffee. Lots of coffee. We sold all our Wanderlust aprons, and Coco is bringing me the rest from Cluj. We shared about our experience with the refugees in church, and in my usual way, I had no idea exactly what I’m going to share…

With a pinch of humor (a lot of it actually), a touch of humanity, forgetting for a moment that they are refugees (purposely or not) these people are coping with their reality keeping a sense of normality, or trying to.

There I will meet you, Says the Lord The tabernacle. Anywhere. Everywhere. In Christ. Through the Holy Spirit. Incense, singing, tears, And burning hearts. Each heart shares its own psalm Through song, the violin, passionate essays, poems, arts and sculptures.

Conrad might have something to say here soon. Liviu, our friend who experiences life in a most free-spirited way, often time misunderstood, invited us to go and serve in a refugee camp in Zagreb in mid December. Conrad is not necessarily the churchy type, and we don’t go on missions often, but this time he…

Every time someone asks me “how are you?” and I answer “very well”, it always comes as a surprise. This month I went swimming for 30-60 minutes nearly every day, and being intentional about it, took some creativity in navigating the schedule. I recently had the best conversation with my brother.

It has begun. A few weeks ago I wasn’t feeling ready for the busy social calendar. But now I do. I decided to keep on fewer regular weekly meetings. The decision was hard but I don’t regret it. It has been a great, lively, adventurous, busy, hard-working, diversity filled, marathon-like year. We would finish one…

Fifteen people gather in one room. This building, all its rooms filled with different groups. It’s pure grace, a gift of community, but sadly, many count the numbers to compare with the days of glory and no matter what miracles happen now, being stuck in the past only drains the ounce of hope and joy.…

Feeling overwhelmed is the most common plague of my generation. A flexible schedule actually accentuates this. As the fall starts again with its busy schedule, I let go of trying to do everything. Not everything is a priority. In the order of the events, last night we started the couples fellowship with setting expectation, listening…
