TRAVELING ON YOUR KNEES

Last night I took a journey
To a land across the seas.
I didn't go by ship or plane
I traveled on my knees.

I saw so many people there
In bondage to their sin,
And Jesus told me I should go,
That there were souls to win.

But I said "Jesus, I can't go
To lands across the seas."
He answered quickly, "Yes, you can
By traveling on your knees."

He said, "You pray, I'll meet the need.
You call, and I will hear.
It's up to you to be concerned
For lost souls far and near."

And so I did; knelt in prayer,
Gave up some hours of ease,
And with the Savior by my side,
I traveled on my knees.

As I prayed on, I saw souls saved
And twisted persons healed,
I saw God's workers strength renewed
While laboring in the field.

I said, "Yes Lord, I'll take the job.
Your heart I want to please.
I'll heed Your call and swiftly go
By traveling on my knees."

I.M.Y.S.M!

today: guitar, mom, Döner, movies,...

I picked my guitar up today!! It sounds good and I had a lot of fun playing it today.
When i went into town to pick it up my mom came with me and we got to hang out for a bit, which was really good. We don't get to do that too often. (sadly)

When I got home I immediately tried my guitar. :-) I didn't get to play to long since I had plans for the evening, but the little bit was fun and I was surprised at the sound.
( bad picture, sorry)

So, my evening plans:

I went to hang out with Anjulie at the villa. We went to get Döner first and then watched two movies. One of them was "Noel", which is good, but the other one is AMAZING! It's called "August Rush" and I loved it! Go watch it if you get the chance!!! I got the music to it right away. :-)

We had a great and fun night, with Ice-Cream, a lot of laughing and some talking. *yay*
It was like 12 am when I got back to my parents house.

Guitar...

I took my guitar to the "doctor" yesterday.
The bridge broke off a long time ago and it had been living in it's case since then...I know, I'm bad..
Anyway, I kinda got back into playing and so decided I would have it fixed.
The guy just called and told me I could come and get it. I am super excited and can't wait to play it!!

sleep, movies, popcorn, no sleep... 3am...

Yesterday I slept way to long. Oh, I can't stand it!! Ok, I went to bed pretty late, so calculating the hours...it wasn't that much longer that I slept then normal, but I hate to miss the early hours of the day.
The day went by pretty slow, happens a lot lately...anyway:
At arround 6pm I went into town to pick up movie tickets for me and Ines. Since I had to get the tickets early, but Ines wouldn't be there till shortly before the movie, I sat down in a close cafe and read my bible. It felt soo good. I loved it!

Later Ines and I watched "Love Vegas" which was pretty funny for the most part.

Afterwards I went home with Ines and spend the night. We had the lights out at like 11.30 pm and Ines went to sleep pretty fast. Well, since I had slept long I couldn't go to sleep now...grr, so I was awake...in the dark...until 3 AM!!! *grrr*
In the end I got to have a great conversation with God about some things and that actually made it worth it!

And this morning we got up early, since Ines had to work, so that's great! I am a little tired, but have to get over it, since I am babysitting this afternoon.

parents house

Today I went over to my parents house and spend a
some time there. I actually planed to only drop something off, but ended up staying quite a while.
Well and since there was nothing to do, I decided to go for a ride which took me almost 2 hours away into a mall. I didn't buy much, just something I could have gotten here too, but at least I was out of the house for a while.

Oh, I also bought a ticket to fly to my grandmas house next week. That should be fun. I hope to spend some time with my cousin, that would be really great.

Now I am back at my pparents house where I will spend the night so I can use the internet and sleep in a normal bed. (I sleep on a couch at my place)

Slow sunday...

I usually like sundays...but today is just way to slow...we can't decide what to do and the weather keeps changing from hot to cold, so that doesn't help...
I miss you guys!

Phantasialand

So, it was, well is Ben's birthday today, so we (Ben, Tamiko and I) went on a daytrip to a themepark that is about an hour and a half away from here.
We left arround 9 am and went on our first "ride". :-) (never trust their maps! *haha*)
I must say, the park was definitely worth it's price!!
We went on a ride called "Black Mamba" first, and LOVED it!! We left is still smiling and full of adrenalin. :-) ...sooo good...
More good rides were to follow and we found at least two more rides that mad the whole trip worth the time and money!


Ben was "happy as can be" and he did not fake it either!!!!

Afterwards we went fo dinner at the "Black Sheep" and had a fun time there too.
So the whole day was great and a nice change from the last very slow week I had.

another "Goodbye"...

Another semester just finished and I am so thankfull that I was able to be a part of it.
I must say, that this semester was on one side the hardest I have had so far.
It was very emotional and the Lord streched me in a lot of areas, which makes it to one of the best semesters I have had also.
It just showed me, that I need to trust HIM so much more with my life.
I always thought I pretty much had it all together, but as we know that is never a good thing to think. ;-) It is amazing, what he uses to form us and to gently bring us where He wants us to be.

This semester he used a lot of people to speak into my life. (the most influential know who they are :-) )
Awesome friends who mean a lot to me! But also students that I might not have been that close with.
Just watching their walk with Jesus encouraged me so much, and little things they did or said ment so much to me a lot of times.

So thank you for an awesome semester everyone!! I love you and will miss you so much! Take care and keep the faith!
