Settling in (Week 2)
Overall, I'm starting to settle in and feel more comfortable here in Cluj, so that's all good! I ultimately decided that I would continue with the virtual tour of Romania, along with some observations over the last two weeks.
Welcome to Romania (Week 1)
My, the last week has been a whirlwind! I spent nearly three full days traveling; I left Harrisburg Monday morning and finally arrived in Târgu Mureș Wednesday evening. The jetlag is strong, but I am still able to enjoy my time here.
February Fasting
I decided to try something abstract and fast from my time.
Most people look at me like I have two heads when I present that concept. But I found it to be wonderfully challenging and life-changing. Every single day, I went to a quiet couch, turned off notifications, set a timer for 10 minutes, and closed my eyes as I entered into my secret place with Jesus.
“fake it ‘til you become it”: BRAVE
What do you think of when someone mentions brave people?
Firefighters?
A knight in shining armor?
Yourself??
Lately I’ve been realizing that we don’t have to wear a uniform to be brave. There are plenty of daily tasks that we each face that require bravery. Recently, I have begun to see just how much fear is in my life.
I’ll admit it: I am scared of everything.
