We spend several days resting and preparing for this year of work. Our team has grown to include two new families in Sofia and two babies in Plovdiv, and this was a great time for me to get to know them. While this was a beautiful week, it was also very hard for me. I did not find it easy to relax or rest, and some of my expectations didn't fit with reality. As the week ended, I recognized that some of my stress and anxiety was in partly due to spiritual attack. I'm thankful for my family here, as we learn to reach out and love each other and those around us, because even in the face of attack from the Evil One, God is making us a family that apologizes, forgives, and genuinely cares about others.
This is my family in Bulgaria. I have spiritual parents, brothers and sisters, cousins, nieces and nephews. Some of them speak English with an Australian accent, some with a southern accent, and some with a Bulgarian accent. Some of them only speak in cute baby squeals and grunts. We are all so different, yet we are a family and I am thankful for them!
