February
The dreariest month in Paris. ...Which is why I left for sunny Spain! And came back with two new skirts and a tan. And then spent a weekend in the German Black Forest. But poor Richard had to stay behind while I was gallavanting all around Europe.
In the meantime, I also found an abandoned kitten in the park one morning. She was so cute and vulnerable, I had to bring her home. So we named her Claire. Two weeks later, we found out she is actually a he and now he is named Clarence. Well, Richard prefers to call him 'Big Cheese.'
Work with Agape has been a bit unpredictable lately. We went from having Agape Live, our weekly student meeting, to dividing up into men's and women's Bible studies with a monthly worship night. We've also started two new English Clubs on different Parisian campuses. Once the weather cheers up, we'll start having picnics again...one of the highlights of my job!
Otherwise, since the beginning of January I, Richard have been working in an Irish bar in the Latin quarter of Paris. It has been a huge blessing to have found a short-term job so quickly having just arrived back from London. Working hours are pretty crazy, though, sometimes finishing at 2am during the week and 5am at weekends! As I am working full-time at the bar, oppurtunities in raising support have been few and far between even though people with whom I have shared with in Paris have been really supportive and encouraging. I am thinking about quiting the bar or to go part-time if at all possible, to focus wholly on support-raising. Please pray for this situation.
"Delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in Him and He will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him." Psalm 37: 4-7
