a lightbulb moment

September 21, 2007 by zharrod

So this week was my first full week of language class. Meaning a full 5 days of enlightenment to the Czech language! Last week we had just 3 days. Anyway, class has been working me over! It has been really, really tough thus far and I’m only 8 classes into 10 months of this! After sitting in class for five hours each day it feels like someone has bored into the front of my brain cavity with a large drill! Sounds like fun doesn’t it? Once life levels out and I get the net in my flat (a.k.a. apartment) I hope to start a serious about living incarnationally and how learning a given culture’s language is essential for making a difference within the culture. It doesn’t matter if you’re a full-time missionary to Czech or if you’re a full-time missionary disguised as a mom, salesman, businesswoman, teacher or etc.!

I look forward to reflecting on what it means to become nothing for the sake of the Gospel by learning this culture’s language. Stay tuned for this new series! But anyway, the light bulb moment! Today when I was walking from my flat to Cafe Calma I looked over to the other side of the street and I knew what everything meant! Yeah! That’s right! Well, not everything but a lot more at least! I read what the stores and street signs said and I understood more than ever before! Then I was walking and new words I learned today in class actually were still in my brain! A miracle indeed! I thought, “Praise God I’m retaining it!” So there is this week’s light bulb moment! Pray for more of these moments as I study Czech full-time right now! Okay I need to get going, blessings!
