This is an attempt to keep all my friends posted on my 2010 travels related to Operation Christmas Child!
I am Sorina, born and raised in Romania, a girl who, once upon a time, received a shoe box. It was a wonderful gift that brought a smile on my face, in a world where Santa didn't bring much and God was not known. That shoe box had a scarf, hat, and gloves that I so badly needed. The shoe box is linked to the church where I received it, the church where I got baptized. Many years later, I learned that Operation Christmas Child had sent the box to me. Nowadays, I speak on behalf of OCC, telling people to pack a shoe box for a child in need, because each shoebox is a Gospel opportunity.
So, now we embark on logging the travels: past, present, and future.
First stop on my log- Chicago. Stay tuned next week for news and impressions of Narnia 3 and the Windy City.
Sorina, I'm so excited you started this blog so we can follow all that God has planned for you. I know He will continue, as always, to use you in amazing ways for His glory. Praying for safe travels for you, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to following your travels. I would really like to get you to come to our church some time. It was nice getting to see you in Charlotte this year. I am sorry we didn't get to chat much. Looking forward to hearing about your travels and how God is working.
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm excited too! This brings back good memories, when I first received a shoebox! God is great!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I'll try to post often, and feel free to share stories as well.
ReplyDelete@Kathy- I am looking forward to seeing what God has in store for you too- it is pretty amazing to see how the Lord has bestowed blessings upon your area.
@Joel- Next year is wide open, so we'll talk.
@Raluca- Look at us, shoe box kids grown up. See you soon!
