Success

It’s a rare occasion for me, this feeling. I cannot remember the last time this feeling came so strongly, but I am sure it has happened before. I am more familiar with the arch nemesis, but I could get used to having this feeling around.

The feeling of being set up to succeed.

More times than I care to admit I have felt as though I have been set up to fail. I have found myself floundering and not able to stand on my own two feet. Whether or not I was really being set up to fail is not relevant, I felt as though I was.

Now, things are different. I am constantly surrounded by dear friends who care that I do well in Poland. The resources and opportunities being handed to me completely free are astounding. Blessed. My heart feels blessed. What blows me away more is that people not only want to see me fly, they want to see me soar. I could probably do just fine with minimal resources in Poland, but no, I am gaining incredibly tools that will enable me to do so much more in Poland.

At the end of this week, if all goes well, my new website will be launched. A good childhood friend has been spending hours and hours getting me online and making sure that I have tools to reach beyond what I can do within a 24-hour day.

I have been invited by several friends and co-workers to share about what God is calling me to in Poland during church services. Every week I see more and more people get excited about Poland and what role they can play. With Poland being as big of a love in my life as it is I am almost speechless when someone shows interest in the country and people.

Poland is exciting, yes. However there is still a lot of apprehension in my heart about leaving my life in the states for something unknown halfway across the globe. Having this team of people come around me gives me comfort that I am not doing this alone and that no matter what I have people around me that care enough for me as a person to see me succeed. Wow.
