The past week I’ve been in Texas for a short business trip.  Two more days left before heading back to Ukraine.It’s been cool to see God affirm my decision to come in some neat ways.  I have a greater peace that my business is on the right track, and the team in on board with several changes.  Praise God for directing our steps, and being for us in very practical ways.

Meetings with guys at workexpecting warm weather, I brought Ukraine!

The past two nights I’ve also been able to hang out with dear friends, enjoying their kids and speaking in english.  Our church here in Longview is in the middle of intense prayer time, 24/7 prayer chain at the church, and other prayer events with the purpose of starting the year off with God, asking for direction and crying out for spiritual reality both personally, and within the community.  We are so blessed to have a church family that elevates prayer and includes us (our family and church in RZ) in it!

CJ attempts to flip a tortilla old school w/ hand

My cousin CJ, who has helped us open the Canadian office, is with me in Texas – his first time.  Been fun exposing him to some new food.  Although, the day after we arrived, it snowed and temps have dropped below freezing, neither of us expected or packed for that.

Been also talking over Cafe plans and starting to organize construction trip dates.  We have some neat opportunities to see this cafe come together with involving several churches, including some from Texas, Ireland, NYC and Latvia.  I pray that the ‘way’ we do this is as much of a testimony to the community as the finished product.  God use it all for Your glory!

nice american high cholesterol breakfast

Thanks for checking in.  Please pray for some new discipline in my eating habits, I’ve never had (or thought I had) any health issues before, but yesterday found out my cholesterol is way too high.  Might have to get rid of our fryer, oh no!
