Polish Adventure!

Polish Adventure!

One thing i would love to say about my beyond belief experience is that God rocks!
I've heard people say that 'God works in mysterious ways' and i can definitely say that that's true.

After my first or second team meeting i came home and felt a sudden loss of identity. it was terrible. i just didn't really know who i was anymore. It's hard to explain. Anyway God stepped in and reminded me that 'my identity is in Christ'. i sort of forgot about this until i was in Poland. While we were there our translator, Chris, asked to speak, and he spoke on identity. God showed me what he had made me for. it was incredible, i had come from one end of the scale to the other, it was amazing!

Also the sheer feeling of being in a church in a foreign country where you cant understand what's being sung is, surprisingly, great. I think that sometimes, at home, we concentrate too much on singing loud/good/at all that we miss the presence of God. Well I can tell you that it's easy to feel when you're standing, just listening. It's almost overwhelming actually.

The whole affair has been a great, and life-changing, experience that I will never forget. I thank God so much for the people I met, the people who helped us over in Poland,, and everything He showed me throughout my team meetings and in Poland. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
