My Rookie Post

I thought it would be appropriate if my first blog entry was about a few of the events that have had a profound effect on my life. This was the morning we were at the airport getting ready to begin the flight to Romania in 2004. I can still remember what I was thinking to myself: dear God, what have I gotten myself into? For the next few days, I can remember asking myself that question many times. On the return flight, I decided, I wasn't going to go on the next mission trip. The first thing my oldest daughter said to me at the airport when I returned was that she wanted to go with me next time.

This is pix of the team that traveled to
Romania in 2005.





This is the team in 2006 getting ready to leave the states. (right)



This is my favorite pix of all the many thousand we have taken in Romania. Troy Geddes, the missionary we work with, giving a little girl a Bible at one of the tennis events in 2005. The Great Commission instructs us to go and spread the Word. Here it is in its purest form.

I no longer wonder what I am getting myself into. I know. I feel fortunate that God is allowing me to return to Romania this year.

Well, I'm glad you went even when you weren't quite sure what GOd was doing! I'm glad you're blogging now too!

Ok so I MAY have created a monster but a good monster. I am glad you went on that trip as well. Your obedience has led to many people following God's leading to go to Romania. P.S. I bet someone really nice "hooked you up" with a blog. Smurphy
