Some big WOW's!

It is two months TODAY since I arrived back in Romania. Amazingly, it has taken me all of 6 weeks+ just to get myself re-acclimated to time (there are some stories re: different daylight savings times in two continents!), place (we’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto!), language (what was that word?), different faces, foods and things from what I had left. During that time I had a lovely visit from the Greenhalgh’s, a trip to Bucharest, two weeks of illness for a sinus infection and started my first on-line course for my doctoral work which meant a mandatory online chat at 3AM once a week (hence the disorientation to time – missed a couple of chats due to the time change!)

Some really big WOW’s have been happening. By WOW’s I mean answers to prayer re: future direction on how to proceed with this project. As I mentioned to many of you before leaving, the second chapter of this project had to proceed differently from the first chapter. The Lord has been answering those prayers! First, after Easter I will start seeing patients at a Christian Free Clinic called Petros. No longer will I use my apartment and wear all the hats of answering the phone and making all the appointments. The ladies at Petros Clinic will gladly answer the phone and make the appointments for me. I am moving things over there and getting organized as we speak. And second, the docs at the pediatric hospital are making some wonderful plans of getting another doctor to specialize only in audiology and to learn from me. These are some MAJOR breakthroughs, believe me!

May you experience His resurrection power during this Easter season!
