One month from today we head home. It seems like it was only July and I had arrived. I had awaited that day for so long. Where does time go? I waste so much time. God has revealed that to me as I have set here with Him for these past few months. I am so excited about going home via Hawaii...I just cannot wait to see those 9 smiling faces. To sit and watch them...what joy! But I plan to make the best of these last 30 days here in Germany. I pray I will come back again someday but that is only for God to know and I thank Him for giving me this time. I am truly one blessed human being and even in my blahs, like I am having today...I know what the blessings I have been given.
I learned something along time go. When I ask someone how they are I REALLY want to know how they are? I use to say nothing when asked this question but nowadays I tell the truth and boy is is interesting. I must say most of the time people on the whole do not want to hear about you...they say oh that is to bad....and continue their conversations mostly about themselves. What if God did this everytime we went to Him? I also learned along time ago, there is NO way we bother God. He loves it, He cherishes those moments we come and want to be with Him and Him alone. That is one of things He has been teaching me as I have spent a lot of alone time here in Germany. Most of the time I have squandered on myself and some pretty lame things. I could say that is human nature but I will not allow myself that excuse...it was just pure laziness and I suppose I did not want to hear the truths He was trying to teach me. He is always trying to teach us something else...I learned that along time ago,too. I have manipulate my life for me most of the time and that is something God has really managed to show me these past few months. I am at the best time of my life and have so much time to give and give of myself and my time. I have one friend, Karenn, who I absolutely admire because she ALWAYS has time for someone else and their needs. She has such heart and is such a servant. She has set a good example and I pray I can be more like Karenn...NOT...be Karenn that is not what I am saying...just like what she shows me with her life.
Today is cold, very cold, very cloudy and it is 4:10 and almost dark. It will be dark until 8AM in the morning which makes for very long nights. Tomorrow night we are going to go down to the Christmas Market for dinner. Not many more opportunities for these kinds of outings. I am sitting here drinking Christmas Tea and listening to Mannheim Steamroller ...love them... think I go now and have some more time in the Word before Lennie gets home....
