It is a very cold, but beautiful day :) Last night was a bit difficult. I was feeling rather emotional and definitely missing my family, but I think that good came out of it. As I was thinking about family and friends (all of you), I realized that God is here. And that in missing all of you, and in the business of the past two plus weeks, I had forgotten to really focus on Him and His love and commands. So I spent some of last night and then this morning thinking about that and how I can change my habits to really bring my days into focus. But it didn't end there. Earlier this week I had called United Church of God to ask about there church in Stuttgart. The lady I talked to said that they meet every three weeks, so I was kind of sad about not going to church this week. I had looked at a few other groups that met at around 6 PM, but that is after Sabbath and I would always rather fellowship with believers during the Sabbath. So just last night I found a Seventh-day Adventist group the meets every week in Stuttgart. So I went there today and I really appreciated how warm and welcoming they were. But getting back to today, the interesting part was that the pastor talked about what a covenant is. I thought it was such a good reminder of what I had been thinking this morning. I had such a nice time there and during the return trip I was able to talk with some of the people at the church. So overall it has been a wonderful day.
In case you are wondering about the rest of my week, it was fairly nice. Monday thru Wednesday went well, but I got sick on Thursday, which was kind of sad. This week I have been trying to find a local German school where I can learn the language. And it is my prayer that I am able to find some good friends (not to replace all of my friends at home of course). I miss having people that I can see and talk to. It feels like forever since I saw familiar faces. :) I guess I really do miss all of you.
