going to czech always provides different challenges. almost every time i go i feel attacked in some way, and this time proves no different from the others.

it's been a wearying and burdensome nine days. my attack this time is that tired and overwhelmed feeling. how do you process through something hurtful and try to prepare for a serious trip? i feel overwhelmed and tired out already. how can i give and invest in the czech students - let alone the american students?

but since i had made the decision to go to czech i felt like something big was going to happen. whether going was the best choice or not (and right now i can't help but feel like it wasn't!), i know God's going to shake things up a bit.

and a wonderful woman reminded me of 2 Corinthians 12:9 the other evening - "my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." so there is something powerful in my weak little soul - Christ.
