Life in the fast lane

Well okay so driving a 1960 Skoda doesn't mean we break the sound bearer. But it does mean we have a way of transportation to get us where we need to go. This car is considered a vintage car here in Czech so it gets lots of looks, touches and comments. It was even in a wedding as the main transportation for the Bride and Groom. It proved worthy after many hours of work and praying. Was a hit with the Bride which is always important. Mel said " It was a pleasure to serve as her driver"
The work at the mission house is on going, lumber has been ordered for the trim and will be delivered on Monday so Mel is looking forward to starting that project. Now if the rains would just stop and the sun shine that would be such a plus.
We are staying in a flat in Frydlant , very nice and is our home away from home while we are here. Our Granddaughter Hayley comes over after school to spend time with me and I enjoy every moment of it. She is a lot like her Aunt Shana and loves to talk, we laugh alot and enjoy Opa soup. The fast lane here in Czech is the slow lane really. You have time to set (at least I do) and enjoy the Lord, listen to what He is teaching and then set back and meditate on what you are hearing from Him. I find this statement from Beth Moore true about my time with the Lord " Who else is so brilliant, so multidimensional and gloriously mysterious that you could spend your entire life studying and never grasp His vastness?" Glad the fast lane here is a little slow for me.

We landed and was picked up by our friend Petr, he drove us to our sons home. The next morning we headed to Malenovice to the JV conference, to see everyone we know here in Czech. It was really good see our grandchildren, Melvin and Amy plus all the missionarys we know.

During this time we have had car problems, waiting to get into the flat and enjoying being with our family. God is good. I am trying to memorize Psalm 121 and it talks about how God is our protector and that He never sleeps or slumbers. Wow, what a promise to hang on to. Each day brings something special, it is just fun being here.

The awaited time has arrived!

We are in the process of putting together stuff, gathering stuff and closing stuff so that we will be ready to fly off into the wild blue yonder. We are excited about it and anticipate the journey but also being with those we love. Sometimes these journey's seem to take much to long and you wish that you could just shut your eyes and be there but then we would miss all the opportunities that God has planned along the way to show us how big and awesome He is. Will miss the beautiful spring flowers that are blooming everywhere but look forward to the time of love and laughter.
