holy land

Following His voice to the promise land. i wouldn´t have thought this will ecome reality so soon in my life.
It was spontaneouse but long dreamt of and thus i knew it is time to life and not to continue waiting.
And here it is. Life in it´s fullest.
Te moment the plane touched the holy land my eyes filled with tears and he butterflies dance in my chest. Whispering "home" not really knowing why, i breathed the first breath of the mild sping air outside the Ben-Gurion Airport.
The time until our guest family picked us up we daced between citrus trees, olive trees and the top of an open parkinglot under the starry sky, laughing.
The family is so nice and it is so from God tht everything fit so well together and now we´ll see where thes coming weeks will lead us.
It will be an adventure. Every day.
The hikey through Galilee are breathtkingly beautyful. Mountains of countless rich full green trees white rocks and bright colorful flowes between olive trees and blossoming almond trees.
The birds sing more here, everything seems so rich sucht laing in the gras here is better and more satisfying that any meal and i just want to live of it.
The experience of taking care od three small childen is new for me and troublesome at times. I´m growing into it though realizing that i have to be stern and strikt, strong willed but loving. And sure of who i am and the authority i carry. It´such an important lesson since it´s the same priciples in the spiritual i´m learning. Not to give up, knowing my identity as an embassador of someone greater, being given the authority to carry out through both strength and love.
So every day so far has been an unexchangable rich experience and i´m lerning so much.
More to come....

farewell once again.

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Mist and shadow, cloud and shade,
All shall fade! All shall fade!

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone.
That none have seen but we alone
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Mist and shadow, cloud and shade,
All shall fade! All shall fade!

New home.

my beautiful new home Halle (Saale)

wild nature in the middle of the city full of historic buildings, a huge university, rivers, artists, vegan cafés, organic and fair trade shops and farmersmarkets. Such a green city it blows me away. i feel at home already.

This i the building where i will study arabic.

the library, historic inside and outside.

university cambus, the lion is the symbol of the university. my favourite animal.

market place.

Berlin...an adventure in colour

What can i say about Berin. It´s a city full of art, life, philosphy,  brokeness, cafés, fleamarkets, graffity and hunger for more to live for. My weekend was filled with conversations, both excillerating and challenging. Deep discussions in the park and sunlight warming my skin. We went to a Artist appartment and there i met the most amazing creative people and was inspired once again. How i love artistic people.

Dare to dream.

Yet nothing can top two days full of the most amazingly annointed worship bandy ever Jesus Culture.

It´s all about his presence and this weekend was full of it. My spirit was fed so deeply and once again i felt the undeniably love of Abba. The best thing is to love Him back. He REJOYCES over us. What a huge revelation haha.

Oh how it feels like to dance in freedom before our God. Joy and life is all around us.

Reneé you are my heart i love every moment with you and every day we get to spend together brings me to life because all i feel is you unconditional love. thank you so much. you are the ost BEAUTIFUL person i know.

carried away.

It is strange, sometimes this past year sem to have been a dream in the twinkle of an eye. I´ve been to countrys around the world, seen cultures, met people from backgrounds and with stories so har to comprehend with my westernized mind. Now i can truely say i am a different person. Grown incredibly much in charakter, wisdom and faith in God as a lovening father. I finaly grasped the truth that everything comes down to relationship. With Him, with one another and with ourselves.It still is a journey, and daily challenges come and go but the experiences and things i´ve seen and lived through have left an impact on my soul too deep to ignore. Now i want to live out of this soil, and maybe someday i will comprehend what it means to die to ourselves daily. Life is simply not about me, my imediate comfort and satisfaction. It is not about me feeling good and living in my little bubble. When we come to understand to huge impact every life sacrificed out of love can have and has had in the past, this world would surely be a different place. I´ve come to realize, that the major problem of this generation is selfishness. Out of this bad soil everything hurtful and destroying, we see happening on the news daily, results. So learning to not be focused on myself constantly especially the things I do not have and who´s unfair to me and what´s going wrong around me. Instead, it is so healthy and good to be aware of the people around you and their needs and when i do think about myself then just with the mindset of what God, my Abba, sees in me. And i will see what good has happened to me that day, how many smiles i recieved and even better, gave away and how the warm morning sun tickeld my sking and the birds singing in perfect harmony from the masses of green treetops way above my reach. Sometimes it´s a pice of art i made and gave away or a song i heard that made me dance Sometimes it´s a small birdnest lying in my path, reminding me how well He provides shelter for those who choose to live dependent on Him.

i had a dream....Brazil

How long have i dreamt to go to the continent of South-America.

How far away did it seem in my with human logic intoxicated mind?

If i learned something about Gods character during this secondary school then it´s that He really does hold what we promises and he most likely will call someone who is most timid and least confident in doing what he is called to do.

That was my experience. Who would have ever thought that me, a very very quiet, shy, small girl from Southern Germany will stand before before congregations in variouse cities of Brazil speaking with an unquenchable fire of passion burning in my heart, pouring out what God had poured into my life, grown men tremble and cry while we pray for them, children on their knees forgetting everything around them in awe of His beauty, the presence of His spirit so evident and think that every doubt seems rediculouse and is throughn out to make more room for the amazing works of the one who created us to be on a relationship with him, to know his true Fatherheart.

I want to thank my supporters who made this trip the Brazil possible for me and being a part of the wonderful works that we could be part of in that nation.

how he loves...

I don´t have words to describe how incredible God has been moveing in my life this past year since i descided to give him time and room to move. He challenged, formed and tested me, he broke down walls around my heart and revealed my true identity and my calling, my gifts. The box i have put in, i put myself in is completely torn to pieces aswellas the box i thought Jesus is in.

Every day has been a testamony of how much God loves to provide, when we trust him with all that we are.
