I guess this blog needs an update since I've been back from Slovakia for a month now. Not to mention it's been 4 months. I'm giving it a new look but it's staying amberinslovakia because 1) I don't want to go through the hassle of changing it and 2) in hopes that I'll be back there again.
I've really missed Slovakia this month that I've been back. Enough that I've thought and prayed a lot about going back for a longer amount of time. But I can remember moments there when I missed people and living in America. I remember crying on Easter because I just really wanted to be at Clemson Pres and sing "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" in English. I started wondering if I'll be satisfied anywhere, then I came across some notes from while I was in Kosice. I was listening to a sermon on 1 Peter 1, and the pastor said, "This world doesn't feel like home because it isn't home. We are not satisfied here." We are elect exiles- chosen out of this world for a home with God in heaven. The only way to be satisfied is to keep in perspective that our home is there and we are missionaries here for a time. We store up treasures there in confident hope. (I like to think that I'm helping people do that as I start raising support again next month :-) ) So who knows where I'll end up in the next few years, but as long as I am investing in eternity, it will be great.
Here's to another post in the next 4 months.
