Moving Out

Tomorrow begins the real adventure!  Moving into the apartment with three Polish girls--Christian!  Talking with Karolina (the girl i share a room with), we may share a futon the first few nights because my couch isn't there yet!  So close, so soon?  Haha, well, i did say i would imagine i was at Summer Camp for five months when it comes to the shower situation so....sharing a futon for a few nights should be a piece of cake!  Doing all of my laundry as we speak.  Looking forward to this next step; confident that i have the transportation in Poznan pretty well figured out.  And the Lord is providing some options for a phone it looks like!  Praises.  I can't wait for church this Sunday when i get to meet more of the people who come!  Last Sunday was an all day conference so it wasn't the whole body, but this Sunday I will get to meet everyone! One of the ladies i will be teaching English to will be helping me learn to cook some Polish food!  I am so excited for that!  Today was spent with Adalyne.  :)  We had a fun time together making jokes and watching "101 Dalmations", a movie i haven't seen in forever! Brooke went to take a missionary couple to the airport and Rich left this morning to raise support for Bread of Life in the States.  Bob and Sue gave me a hairdryer and curler and some pillows.  :)  I was able to talk to my family today which was very nice--got to hear my little sister babbling in the background.
This morning in my devo i was in Ephesians 3 verses 1-10.  And i know it isn't revolutionary really, but just the first three verses were really key for me. See, many people i have met seem to think that those who spread the Gospel were out for some kind of power over people through it.  That their motivation was manipulation, not salvation.  But these first three verses of Ephesians 3 communicate to me just the opposite.  Paul is a prisoner on their behalf--he is suffering for the message he has been made a steward of.  He isn't gaining some sort of power over them through his message, but is being stripped of his earthly power.  And he points out that the revelation was not given to him only but to the saints and the apostles as well.  So he is not trying to monopolize the "revelation" as many prophets of other religions do, when they claim they alone have heard the right words of God.
