Dancing in the rain



After a wonderful trip to Ukaine, a sunny sightseeing day in Budapest on Thursday and seeing the team off this morning, I finally headed home to do laundry and repack. After an hour in the traffic driving through rainy Budapest, I stopped at an outlying metro station which has a Burger King. I noticed a film crew outside when I walked in but they were just hanging out. I got something to eat and sat by the front window. At first I amused myself by watching two grown women who looked like employees out front adjusting their BK crowns! So fun to watch especially as I had recently ministered to about 40 "Gypsy princesses" encouraging them to keep their crowns from slipping and their royal gowns from getting muddy and talked about the need for washing the "dirt" of life off our feet so we could minister to "Our Royal King". Then I noticed here at this gray, rainy station the camera crew had moved into action to film a man and a woman dancing in the rain. He had on a white diner jacket and she had on normal clothes and a coat! They were dancing and twirling, the BK crowned ones were watching and I was wishing I had my camera with me!! Dear Lord, help me to be willing to dance even in the rain on a gloomy Friday! Amen!

and then I came home and....danced!

February 4,5 Alpha Holy Spirit Retreat Hollókö, Hungary

Image
Last Friday I traveled to Hollókö, Hungary to meet with my Hungarian friend. Nora. Nora is leading her second Alpha Course in her village. From there we traveled to another village for an overnight retreat.  10 ladies and some children attended. The Holy Spirit was so faithful to demonstrate Himself in our midst giving encouraging words as we prayed together,  refilling some and baptizing some for the first time.  It was a very precious time. If God lays it on your heart please be praying for these ladies. The 10 ladies were from 6 different villages in Nograd county (and me,too). In none of the villages are living churches but most of these ladies are "keys" to living prayer groups. Nora has been working in one of the villages and is now in the process of setting up a small retreat center. After our weekend she took me there to pray. She and her husband were able to acquire a small "prayer" house, which was once a Baptist prayer house which is next to a home they

We had a really good night last night - kind of...

My brother Jack and his wife Debby just arrived back from Florida where Jack was trying to hide out from having to face a "big" birthday. So my sister Kathi and I decorated his house to welcome him home - and left him a card that said "You can run, but you can't hide! :-). Some of you know Jack by his more common name "No rules for kids, Uncle Jack". Well, mom really enjoyed visiting with Jack and Debby and as a result she stayed up until 10.30. Most nights she can only sleep for about 5 hours tops and even then gets up a number of times. That means I get up with her :-). Night before last that was at 1.30, 4, 6 and 7!! So when this morning I realised I had been able to sleep through the night I was more concerned than relieved. I checked my monitor and yes it was working and finally turned on the light to check and see if mom was ...alive. Do you remember the first night your baby slept all the way through to morning? You awake with a start and run in

1 Thel 4.13-18 Comfort one another with these words!

But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with a voice like an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. Dedicated to Syble, Tammy, Lisa, Sherry,Stacey, Becky, the Callery family, Donna, Judy. Jim, Chris, Barb and all those who have lost loved ones especially around this time of year.
