Morning at Greg's

I got to Greg's study a few minutes after 7am this morning. The air was cool and crisp- a small cool wave after many days of 90+ degree temps. It was in the low 60's this morning. I was walking from my car to Greg's shop and noting the coolness and quietness. The sun was just coming over the buildings and lowly lighting the brick. There was a little dew in the air that caused a calm light fogginess around the area. Then, behind me, a rooster started crowing from the houses! Immediately, I was transported to Romania. I stopped for a minute, soaking in the scene and the sound of the rooster. I felt exactly like I feel on those early crisp mornings in Romania, about to go out on prayer walk- anticipating all that was in store for the day and what God was going to do. It was a brief but powerful moment for me that reminded me of good memories and deep times or mountaintop experiences. It brought joy to my heart reflecting on those mornings in Romania.  I miss them greatly, but have to trust where God has me. Why don't I anticipate what God will do during a day here, like I did in Romania? Is there really a difference, or is it just my lack of faith? It's been a very hard week this week, but that brief moment of peace this morning really helped my mindset going into the weekend. Thank You, Lord.
