How can you not be amazed and thankful?

So I was totally planning a post for my blog today that is totally different than what I am about to post. :) I will just have to save it for another day. :)

This week has just turned out to be great. There of course were several setbacks but overall it was great! And there are still two days left in the week. I am interested in what opportunities God is providing for me. I am shocked and totally not expecting a lot of it. Recently, I have noticed a lot about women in the area here. God has been providing amazing women for me to connect with! Just when I think that it's a nice little group of women to meet with (but I don't meet with them altogether) God provides more time and people to meet with. I am not sure how it will go or all work out but I will trust that God has a perfect plan for what is to happen. :) I never thought I'd be working with so many women! My focus has always been on teaching kids. I know lots of people who would like minister to women. It just has never been a focus of mine. Yet, here I am in Poland and this is what I am doing! I do work with kids and have a great time with them. BUT where I spend quality time with people is with women and building relationships and community. I even attend the women's activities...which is sooo not like me but they are really good and you see women just being open with each other! God is opening my eyes to new things. And I am learning to appreciate new things about women! I mean things I have worked through and am working through it is beautiful to see other women there to and learning to struggle through it. More to come! ;)

In other news... :) I am going to officially just teaching at the school in a week. This weekend I am going to a midnight shopping activity in a nearby town. Tomorrow I will travel once again to Lodz to hopefully pick up my visa card! The process here is terribly long and annoying. And the other day I traveled there and it was all for nothing because I forgot my passport. Even though I have my drivers license, receipt, and the copy of my passport and card that they have ALL have my picture on them... yet that wasn't enough. :) It's okay because I LOVE this town. It is an easy bus ride. Which I found out I am the first to adventure on my own there! (I am kind of proud of that) I think that when I need to get away I may go stay in this town since it is close. The great thing is that I can eat out! There are hardly any restaurants here in Tomaszow for eating out. I think everyone in ministry needs to find a place that they can got to "getaway" for a day or two and I am thrilled to have found my place. :)
