It is His work. I am like a little pencil in God's hand. That is all.
He does the thinking. He does the writing. The pencil has nothing to do with it.The pencil has only to be allowed to be used.

Mother Teresa


So, I have decided to join the world of blogging. In my daily life I see things, God at work, and I think "I should really write this down. I chose the words of Mother Teresa for several reasons. It wasn't my first choice-most of those were already taken.  I spent most of two days trying to decide on a witty tittle with out  much luck being original. Then out of the blue this quote ran through my head. It seemed most appropriate. There is nothing I can write here that can be anything but what God had orchestrated for my life. I also find it fitting that it was said by Mother Teresa. While I am not Catholic, I have learned much from her. When we first moved to Ukraine, I was feeling more than inadequate for the task at hand until one day in my daily devotional reading, I came across another MT quote that said , "We can do no great things, only small things with great love.". At that moment I began to understand more specifically what God expected from me. Now, more than six years later, here I sit still trying to write God's story in L'viv and beyond.
