Yesterday we began our third week of Intensive Hungarian Language school. Our class meets everyday for 3 hours and it is intense! I find myself thinking about how different Hungarian is from English...like TOTALLY different. It causes me to marvel at our God and how He created us and created our languages. It really boggles my mind. "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14
I have found myself enjoying learning Hungarian and also wanting to be fluent, miraculously, right now! I do not like not being able to communicate well. Last week a friend reminded me of these verses...they spoke to me, so I'll share them with you.
"Moses said to the Lord, 'O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.' The Lord said to him, 'Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.'" Exodus 4:10-12
So along with my prayer for patient endurance, I am also praying these verses to the Lord who knows all languages. That He will help me speak and teach me what to say (in Hungarian!)
Praising the God who wonderfully made each of us!
