I find myself in the midst of a busy travel month. Last week I got to spend a week in Portugal at a wonderful conference for the Europe-based women of my organization. The main theme was growing in the fear of the Lord. What an encouraging, challenging, and timely topic! Let me encourage you to delve into Psalm 34 and see the passion and the promises it contains. Beautiful!
And Portugal -- oh, my! What a lovely place. The week was loaded with great teaching and fellowship, and the weekend gave me some opportunities to sit on some rocks by the ocean and just be quiet with the Lord for a while. What a blessing to get to enjoy so much beauty and to rest a bit.
Now, four days later, I'm heading off to a different world. Tomorrow I leave for five days in a poorer town in Slovakia to visit some fellow Christian workers who are doing there what we want to do in the Czech Republic: holistic ministry among the Romani people. Please be in prayer for this trip. I am so excited to visit with them and see some of the exciting things they are doing there and get a picture of what we can do here. (I am not so excited about the overnight bus and train travels to get there, so that is one thing in particular you can pray for.) I will get to join the workers there for evangelism, worship services, and children's programs. Fun! I look forward to sharing some of the news from Slovakia with you next week.
In the meantime, may you "taste and see that the Lord is good!" (Psalm 34:8)
