when you run out of words

there are some times in life when the words we are given in our language are far from sufficient to express what our eyes have seen. much like how the gospels tell the story of Jesus, how could they possibly put into words the true nature of what their eyes had seen? yesterday we held a worship service in the bruski's basement, first a bible study for the boys and the girls, then songs led by the bruski children band, followed by a message from brother dan. when you see the honest nature of the worship here, as well as feel the Holy Spirit move with such strength, i truly have no adequate words to describe what we felt and saw. i apologize for not being more eloquent, but truly the Lord was here and making Himself known. after the service we observed an amazing romanian tradition, the sunday afternoon nap. it was quite wonderful. we then went to observe the land the bruski's hope to buy and use to further their mission and God's plan. it was amazingly beautiful. to hear them speak of their plans and hopes and dreams will truly inspire any heart, and make you praise God for putting people like them on this earth. today we were able to go to the emergency home for children and women, to play with them and try to show them a glimpse of God through us, now if you never have done this i can truly say it is a humbling experience. these children may never read a bible, but hopefully they can remember the crazy americans brought by the bruski's and remember a glimpse of God. what is truly so wonderful is that God can take average people like us, and use us to fill His purpose. this entire experience has made me feel a little bit like the grinch, just hold on a second while i explain. each time you see these children smile, each time you see them so gracious to accept a gift, it makes your heart a little bigger, and bigger, and each time you see something you truly say that you cannot possibly feel your heart grow another inch, but it grows two. i want to thank everyone for their prayers, trust me we can feel them, but more importantly we can see them working in romania. we are having some trouble putting pictures up on the blog, hopefully we can soon. my camera is not compatible, mainly because craigs laptop has much better and higher uses, like letting ms pat email home, craig talk to his family, and stephanie talk to her ansley. we are about to go off and eat a wonderful supper and discuss our day, once again i doubt i will have the words to describe what i have seen and felt. perhaps the best way i can put what we have experienced thus far is to quote my favorite hymn: o what a foretaste of glory divine! God bless you America talk to you soon
