I remember an Amy Grant song from the '80s. Anyone else remember Amy? It was titled 'Growing up to be a child'. As I prayed this morning I had one of those glimpses of something bigger, something from outside of myself. My hand was in the hand of my heavenly Father's. I feel I must trust more than I ever have before, but I also feel that maybe I can trust more deeply now. Growing up a little perhaps at last! I was always surprised at how our children needed to learn how to trust; it wasn't as instinctive as I had presumed it to be. But so far everything is going very well. It looks like we have found a flat after traipsing around in the snow for over four hours yesterday. Our hosts are being extremely kind and helping us...we are reliant upon them as surprisingly few people speak English. Our new flat is basic but I think we will be able to make it comfortable and nice....and it has a guest bedroom. It is in the centre of some downtown-looking shops but we are only fifteen minutes from the up-market areas. We are glad that we will be in the middle of activity and hope to have a lot of people to talk to and make friends with. We visited the British Institute this morning that houses a wonderful library. We will aim to spend a whole day there once a week to work on our academic studies...the Byzantine section is incredible. I can now read all of the books was aware of but had no access to. Ankara is getting colder but more appealing every day!!
