Yesterday morning it was a blessing for me to meet with Pastor Alekseyi from New Breath and Pastor Brian from my home church. We had a wonderful time of fellowship as Alekseyi and Brian got to know each other. We are the process of transitioning New Breath from meeting at a different host church to my home church.

In the evening, it was a blessing to teach my students from Albania, El Salvador, and Mexico. We had fun learning together.

After class, I met a new friend from Iran. He is a Christian. We talked about many things. Pressing on his heart is that his mother is still in Iran, so we prayed for his mother.

So five different countries represented in my day yesterday. That is a normal day for me living in my city. We have people from all over the world living here. All the more reason to start my day in prayer, listening to worship music, and asking Jesus to help me be a blessing.

Did I mention I am in the midst of a Psoriatic Arthritis flare up? That is part of my normal as well. Living with chronic pain and flare ups makes it all the more reason to start my day with Jesus asking for strength for the day.

Just a glimpse into my “normal”.

Thank you for reading. God Bless.
