Rather Wordless...

Perhaps a better title than wordless is topic-less... I have plenty of words flowing about in my head (some of them aren't English, though), I just don't know which ones to use or what to talk about. I could say I went to the bazaar on Saturday and bought a red bedspread which is rather pretty, at least compared to the blankets that it covers up. I could say that I learned yesterday that there is no word for patience in Kurdish. They use the Arabic word, but a Kurdish word doesn't exist to their knowledge. I suppose I am saying these things--not just that I could.

I am frustrated and confused about my role as a young single female among long term missionaries. How strong ought I to stand on issues of importance and issues of little importance? I (and in God's abundant blessing, others on my team and around me) have been impacted by the importance of prayer. I love how God leads people in the same direction individually--how cool is that!

I have done a lot of grading today. I taught classes and was terrified to have a guest come in and videotape part of one of my classes as well. Wow was I freaked out. Oh well...more footage for our next training video "How NOT to Teach 101".

My feet are dirty... I understand so much better in the Middle East the concept of washing feet... the dust the dirt...it's everywhere.

Now I am becoming rather wordless... snippets in my life... and my encouragement to you all...PRAY.
