lots of little things

So lots of little things have been on my mind as of late. For one thing, (though not necessarily next on my mind-just the next that comes to mind to discuss) I went to two new countries this weekend. I wish I got a stamp when I went to a new country. It would be really fun to have visa stamps galore in my passport. But this will not be happening. However, I saw a Christmas market (or the Christmas market) in Bratislava, and then we went to (the?) three in Vienna. What a great weekend. But what an obnoxiously large crowd of people in Vienna-and going back to Bratislava. It was fantastic. I bought a few things. But I am glad to be home. And was so thankful for a nearly empty train car on the way back to Ostrava. And I am thankful to be back home-where I am more familiar with the language and am more confident to talk to people and tell them what I want at a store or something like this.

Next, I find it interesting that God speaks to His people. But most interestingly of all is how we listen (or don't). When God tells us something we need to share with others, we tend to be all over that. But when God starts talking about something we need to hear, want to know, or something of this variety, we question, "Is this really God?" or, "How do I know if it's God or me?" Or something of this sort. I am so guilty of this. Why would we not question if it has nothing to do with us, or is mostly to do with someone else, but then totally question every aspect when it has to do with our own lives? I do not seek to find an answer in today's blog post. Perhaps another day, I will delve into this. But for today, I will simply pose the question.

Lastly, I will say that I am tired and should go to bed. This means that I am going to sign off :-) Hope all is going well with you!!
