How difficult this little word is. Lately this word has been on my mind a lot. When I left America this fall I decided that I wouldn't make a decision about next year until February. But of course when you are teaching and working in ministry they are always talking about what's next. So many thoughts have been floating around but still no decision has been made. At times I've stopped and thought more about some of the options and it's good and somedays I'll think about the same thing and I think that I am very crazy for thinking about those things. It's very interesting.
Also, in the mix of things and thoughts I've been thinking about some things. Sometimes I've thought and seen that i have had more of an impact on some relationships by leaving the states. I haven''t ever thought much about it until today. I received a note from a very special friend in America and it got me thinking about what sometimes distance can do for relationships...in a positive way. It made me start thinking about the relationships that I have here in Poland. Some days I question if I could ever have an impact on the people here. But when I see that sometimes leaving deepens a relationship to new levels that when you leave you connect on a whole new level. Does this make sense? I guess I've seen this some in my life but I have never stopped and thought about this much.
On that same kind of note...Do you ever feel like you could be doing more to help the greater good? When we are in America we talk about going out and being a missionary in other countries. I'm doing that and yet I still feel like there is more to be done...like impacting the world more. Do you know what I mean or am I by myself on this thought? :) My thought about this is that in a job where I don't see many changes from day to day doing something like building or donating feels like I am doing more. Making more of an impact.
