My गूढ़-बाय पार्टी इन Frankfurt

What a night! I am blessed with such good friends here and some were still sick at home. After 3 hours of wonderful converstations, I did not want to say GOOD-BYE anymore, I just wanted to be in Cape Town in a second without having to say more good-byes. I loved it last night and my heart is touched and full of the love of my friends! I know I take them with me in my heart- see I have a boat in my heart with lots and lots of room...lots of seats to fill to embark with me to new horizons!There is more to say about this evening but my heart is silent and sad and blessed at the same time. There are no words!

Packing, un-packing, over-packing, under-packing...

It's time to pack....to pack my whole life again into two suitcases! Somehow I remember saying this already a few months ago when I left the States. Oh well. This time I pack for a life that will be different and for a stay that will be longer. Crazy crazy crazy!! So these days look like this: packing, then unpacking, repacking and then checking if that is not overpacking :=) God helps me- He is in the little things as well as in the big things so I trust HIM! I am leaving such wonderful friends behind, such a wonderful mom and such a wonderful dad. It is hard to say good-bye. However, I embrace this process for it is a sign of a new beginning and a sign that God has given me precious people also on this side of the globe!

Thanks be to God, to my Creator and to the one who comforts me and all I love!

Let it show - Holland - no intimidation!

Last week, I joined a group from our church plant in Frankfurt to go to a national foursquare conference in the Netherlands. My heart was so encouraged and full of joy for I met dear friends from the States there: the pastor that led me through my first 2 years as an intern in Gresham/Portland DAN RUSSEL and my pastors and the ones who sent me out as a missionary: TED and DIANE ROBERTS. How wonderful to welcome them on European ground this time. The theme of the 3 day conference was: Let it show - I am so thankful to God that HE gave us Germans such a good fellowship, such good talks and wonderful prayer times for each other. It kind of felt like the fellowship of the ring in a way. I experienced huge intimidation internally about my call during that time. I felt like a female Timothy thinking that I am too young or too inexperienced to go and do what God is calling me to. I received new encouragement from the throne room from God himself. I really needed that time away at that conference. It was a last minute decision but such a good one: a breath of fresh air AND no more intimidation (I know it'll come but I also know that I am a princess of the most HIGH GOD and HE has made me more than a conqueror!)

I have the visa!!! I am holding it in my hands right now...still surprised and in awe...all that sweat...all that worry- Oh man! I am thankful and now preparing even more ...24 days to go! Kerstin Sunshine
