God teaches us about . . .
We are glad that God speaks to us more specifically nowadays. Not that He never did it before, but definitely not too often lately. This is a season for that.
And we were hungry for Him!
We can give you some outlines - and would be more than glad to discuss some of the things with you if God leads you to contact us about it. IF YOU HAVE ANY MESSAGE, WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT, ADVICES, FRIENDLY WORDS OR GODLY THOUGHTS, please, do not hesitate to write to us - LET US MAKE OUR RELATIONSHIP STRONGER AND CLOSER.
- We need to read God's Word more . . .
(often, intense, awaiting, carefully, eagerly, joyfully. . .)
There was a traffic jam of these verses in our devotionals just in the past 2 weeks. Why? Not that we do not know the importance or would not read - but He wanted us to get further and stronger in this area.
- How much we need and must have the relationships . . . * the closest we can get to our Lord
In our morning devotions we could not misunderstand we were called to take real steps on this area. We do not have much time quiet but we can be used better what we have. No TV, not much movie, not much visitors. So the time when Tabi is asleep (about an hour in the mornings and 2 in the afternoons and from 8pm till 5-6am we are responsible for our 'feeding'.
* with brothers and sisters (build others and being built by others)
We had a good start in the church plant we attended from the very first time we moved to Erd over a year and half ago. Enjoyed being there and were known and loved and relationships were formed. But being obliged to stay home with the little girl for a long half a year made a slide-back. Tamas was attending but it is not the same. Summer brought relief but Autumn hardened again. Tabi's sleep time plus too often catching "bugs" (needed to be protected more by not going among sick people - and in coughing season! ) was not helping to spend time with our Heavenly Family. Winter we tried again to go with her to church and more or less succeeded. But now after the hospital experience I'm waiting for "Summer" again. Waiting for the sun shine though our family with new friends and dear brothers and sisters who are close to us, understand our hearts and want to have fellowship with us. The many year friendships from our time being singles and students somehow seem to get to their sunset and very few could be kept close enough (marriages, moves, lack of communications...) We are a little lonely and working on a NEW START in this area. But I have to tell it is not easy anymore like it was 10 years ago. Our age is busy, has family (we too), and the world is heading into individualism more then ever - even Christians and families - and we need to work consciously against it.
* with the people who need to meet Jesus in order to get LIFE
We feel lonely in a sense. Moving to another town is always losing and gaining. Losing the old and gaining the new. But while the first one happens suddenly the second one takes place slowly. Very slow in our case. In our new town we do not find it easy to make friends. All relationships of school and colleagues, neighbours are kept mostly only through the modern technics, but it takes such an effort and time to develop the new friendships with those around us from the world. We knew it but God draw our attention to it and we have a hope and vision for the close future - in our new home - (but that is another chapter at another time)
