OGGI!!

Tonight 27.9.07
I promised at one point to have my best intent in keeping this updated regularly, and well, I guess I am still learning! Little learners take time. Tomorrow is Friday! I know you know I love Fridays, good things are always happening on Fridays! Vince's sister comes tomorrow and it will be really nice to meet her! He is all smiles. Saturday we plan to go to Cologne and have a nice day away from our little street here in Eiserfeld. THANK GOD! I feel like waking up tomorrow and screaming: CARPE DIEM!! This is an excellent read and I know you'll love it: The Imitation Of Christ by Thomas A Kempis. Amen!

My little prayer for you dear friend and faithful reader:
Jesus,
You are the faithful Husband and the Vine!
Lord we love you and we long to be fully thine!
May all who come across this note know that they are thought of and loved and what is more is that you have such a passion for them and you love them. May they live and live life knowing your precious grace and tender mercies all day long. Give them hope and joy, patience and a gracious forbearance. May they be anxious for nothing but come to you in faith and trust in your absolute perfect timing knowing you are making intercession for them to the Father! Pour out your Spirit upon them!
Amen!

Because your my best friend, You are my best friend!

Last night my BEST rang me from sunny California. We talked and laughed, kindred spirits were flying all around!! I was in Heaven! And I was so encouraged that I think i went to sleep with such a peaceful smile on my face that I woke up with it too! Today is a wonderful morning, it truly is! I hope that you are enjoying yours too!
Love you all and may you see the flicker of hope that is waiting around the corner! Good things are coming!
Love you all dearly,
Chiara Mai.
JOY!

A Whirlwind of Thoughts...

To the ones that I dearly love,
Your patience with me is so appreciated!! Its always in the times when there is much to do that I seem to fall behind! One of these days I am going to determine to make it to be one of those people who excel during the most busiest times and come out on top like a shining star. But until then I am just still a great little work in progress! So where were we now?! Right then, this past week or so: Thank you very much for all your diligent and sweet prayers, we have all felt them as we have been very busy for the past weeks preparing and getting school of to a smooth start! So this past week has been of course very busy but not without blessings. God has time and again proved His grace is sufficient and His love limitless. Even when we are stressed, tired, overwhelmed He is there right by our side and is waiting for us to draw from His ever fresh supply. How sweet our Lord is!
School is going well and the students are settling in to there new lives here in Siegen. The weather has been mediocre at best, but there are a few days when the Sun pokes his happy face out to say hi and of course we all are so bright and happy when he does. I have to say that I am glad that Germany is Germany. There are so many times that I wish I was Italia...for the weather and the people, etc.. Then I realize that these differences are great, and all is as it should be. Italy will always have my heart even when I am living and serving here! Don't we have so much to be thankful for?! Yes, we do!! And one simple word of encouragement: Let all that you do be done with LOVE. Don't loose sight of why you are doing what you are doing for the Lord! It is a patient, persevering labor of Love. And Jesus Christ is worth it.
My prayers are with you and I can't wait to hear all that the Lord is doing in and through you in these last days. Oh another little thing: Fall is coming! That is exciting because it reminds me of being back in New York!
Love, Chiara Mai. Psalm 62:8
