The Sun Was Shining

I had a great walk to school today. I was extremely tired after a long night, but was still able to enjoy the half hour walk that I have grown fond of. It is really nice to have buses though, in case I need back-up. As far as I can tell, there are two ways to walk to campus. One of these days I will post a detailed map for all of you to see.

When I got out of class it felt really warm out...for which I was grateful for. It hasn't been that cold here, but it sure is nice to get some sun every once in a while (5 C). The sun was shinning and everything felt so warm and familiar. I walked home on my least frequented route, where I thought I would be able to get the most sun. I miss the sun. If I were spending more than one semester here I might be tempted to practice syncretism and start worshiping Lithuanian pagan gods, the sun and the moon.


God created the sun and the moon. I thank Him daily for providing me with warmth whenever I feel the coldest. I thank Him for providing family and friends whenever I feel the loneliest. God is my provider, my sustainer, and my vitamin D. I thank God for this opportunity to live in Lithuania and meet new people. I ask Him daily to allow me to learn what He wants me to know by living here.

I helped lead worship Monday night and had an eye opening experience of a God who loves and forgives. I was able to help a friend out last night who was in need and I felt God's power move through me as I met a need. I had the opportunity to visit an old folk's home last Saturday. Their lonely eyes lit up when they saw that we were there to visit them. Young people don't do that too often. That's what it means to be a Christian: loving God and then loving people.

This grandmother was kind enough to share what little she had. Her tangerine tasted great!
