learning that missionaries are different.
We have strengths and weaknesses that make us unique.
They make us who we are.
It is amazing how God uses both for His honor and glory to minister to people. When we are weak, He is strong.
I've also learned that mission fields are different.
Sometimes I feel that Europe is too hard for missionary work.
We don't have people running to us wanting to hear the Gospel.
It would be real easy to just quit.
Then I remember those sweet times of people here in Croatia showing interest in what we have to say.
I remember that it was not our words, but God working through us.
He promised that He would not give us too much that we couldn't handle it.
I have to remind myself when I'm having "one of those" days, that Christ is the One who is working all things for His glory. It's not about me!
For our family, we will keep serving Him here even while times are slow and no one seems interested in the gospel.
We have found that if people see that we care about them and their everyday needs, then we will certainly care about their eternal souls. Loving our neighbors as ourself and not being selfish with our time.
I'm thankful that we have been welcomed warmly into our little corner of Croatia.:)
