In Frankfurt now!

Yesterday I flew in. It is still like a dream but I am sitting in my parents’ apartment right now. The jetlag hits me pretty bad in the afternoon. I am glad I made it through the evening and went to bed after 10pm which was good to get my body to the European Central Time Zone. As I went for a walk yesterday I listened to the birds. There are some birds that are pretty local here which means I don’t hear those in South Africa. One example is the AMSEL aka blackbird I love this bird. It can mimic the whistle you give and learn it in seconds. I read an article once that those birds were even able to mimic a ring tone of a cell phone. Yeah , they are pretty sharp. It was so refreshing to hear them. I am thinking about what BEING A SERVANT mean; what it means in my life right now. How can I care with God’s love without getting dry inside…without becoming overwhelmed. I always come back to God’s Sovereignty. Boy, am I glad for that. I want to do what I see the Holy Spirit do. I want to make it count! Every day! In the hands of God I will fall, rest for the restless and the weary, hope for the sinner. In the hands of God I stand tall- His hands are mighty to deliver, giving me freedom (Newsboys).

My time in Gresham/Oregon

All those wonderful 3 weeks in Gresham are behind me now. ALREADY! It was such a joy coming HOME again. I met friends and new people. I had time to relax while walking in a park or lying on the green green grass looking up into the sky. I felt extremely blessed to see friends that now live in Phoenix and Bend while I was there. God gave us an opportunity to meet. It all widened my heart, it made my heart swell. It made me feel so thankful of knowing all those people. Things that I had missed while in South Africa were Coffee from the Pacific Northwest (Star bucks/Coffee People/Seattle’s best/Silk etc.), Taco Bell (Yes, Taco Bell!!) and long chats with friends. I took lots of pictures but took even more with the camera of my heart. Many of my friends had a baby now since I had been there last. So every day a new Baby and were really great!!!! I loved and treasured my friends sharing their lives with me!!!! A weird little tummy bug got me for a day or two which made it hard for me to prepare for the weekend I was scheduled to share from the platform at East Hill Church. I gained new insights, was able to function in new gained truths and prayed with dear dear people. I won’t forget some really great divine appointments (Megan, blessings to you, Lady!!).
