Bean Burgers and a Hole

Many things happened these last several weeks. Scraping, painting, cleaning, moving, more cleaning and more moving...and finally settling down in an attic with three amazing ladies =)

I will just briefly mention the fact that the Discipleship Training School that I was suppose to staff did not happen. It was cancelled. I will not elaborate a whole lot on this topic - I will leave it for my newsletter that will come to your emails at the end of this month (if you want to be included, please send me an email to gintares11@msn.com). BUT... there is another - Arts and Design DTS - that I am staffing/helping out right now. Just to let you know, it is a Korean DTS and I am honored (and challenged) to be part of this school! Just to mention some of my responsibilities: kitchen manager (as you see above we have great fun in the kitchen), ESL classes and Thursday Special activities (and whatever else they ask me to do).

We have 8 students and 9 staff. We are at the end of our first week and I am desperately in need of His grace. Our day starts at 6:45 am and ends when another day knocks on the door.

I have also started to preach/teach in a youth group service, in a Korean Presbyterian church. At the moment, I am in a trial period.

...and in the midst of all the early mornings, late nights, Korean galore, bean burgers, ESL classes and other yummy stuffs =p I find myself hitting a hole - located in my oral cavity. This hole makes me think a lot and think some more. So, I sat down and scribbled down a poem.

A poem about a Hole

All I think about is the hole in my tooth

So I ask myself - what does it prove?

Does it prove peace... or maybe joy?

The truth - this hole is starting to annoy (me)

Let's face it - a hole - it ain't no good

Especially - if it resides in your tooth

'A hole in one'- sarcasm here does not seem to work...

'It' - is it the hole or I?

I do admit - there's fear inside...

'Inside' - where I say 'Here God resides'

The Word of God - my soul and flesh divides

I have a hole - one day I won't

God is my good - on this I hold

Holes come and go - He will remain

God help me walk like this (the last 3 lines) - I pray...!

and to end... here's a song my heart is singing at the moment....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlZ_p8g4nsU

shalom... shalom...shalom...
