Random thoughts 8/10/12

I have a few extra minutes right now. Extra as in I don't HAVE to be anywhere, though there is still lots that needs to be done. But I wanted to take time and share some passing thoughts from these 10 days in Poland. These thoughts are passing... I'm only typing as I go, so forgive the randomness.

I have greatly fallen in love with the directors of "DAR" and their children. They are creative, hard working, loving, patient, encouraging, faithful, thankful and obviously in love with God. While part of me looks forward to the rest that follows coming home, I am already not looking forward to saying bye to this family.

 The Siech family aren't the only awesome people here. Different friends of theirs that have come to help out and those that will be traveling with "DAR" have all been kind, generous, and patient with the language barrier. Over all it's a very fun group of people.

I am very tired. But it's a good tired. I like this kind of tired. I feel like I am doing and creating. I am very glad for the change of pace soon with the traveling, but I am also a little apprehensive to see what will come with it all. Excited to see what God does.

For the most part I have utterly enjoyed everything. There have been a couple things that have been frustrating to me. Some things that have, at times, made me irritable. As I was working on some props this morning I was reflecting on some of my actions the last couple of days and was reminded of something very convicting. "Love is not irritable." I wonder if these feelings of irritation mean I am not loving... or if I have to act out in irritation. I wonder how to overcome irritation.

I would type more, but I have already run out of time. More random thoughts, and hopefully more thought out writings will come soon.

Love (that is not irritable... hopefully)
