There cannot be a peaceful coexistance with the old nature, with the old man. We are to mortify the deeds of the flesh!

A Greatful Heart and a very full belly....hehe...
Today is Thanksgiving!
And we had a most wonderful thanksgiving celebration here in Germany with our international family; and of course LOTS of food!! Hurray! Everything was absolutely delicious and the company was the best part. We had our thanksgiving this year at the Church CoffeeBar because we have outgrown (yes its true!) our little cafe. And people shared from there own languages prayers of thanksgiving to the Lord for His abundant goodness, it was beautiful. Of course we all still missed our real families and dear friends back at home, wherever that home may be; but we were all so truly thankful for the family God has given us here this semester! So with my belly full of good food and a very jolly spirit....I can now say that its official: it's finally time to put that Christmas music on baby! But I mean the good stuff...Like Frankie or Bing....or Micheal Buble...woo! The important thing is to just not wear it out. I am actually SO EXCITED to go home!! God is so good, always and forever will be. Glory be unto Him!
A little prayer for you, for all those I dearly love and miss:
Jesus truly you are very good to me, to us. And I simply say a very deep and heartfelt thank you for all of the many blessings you have given to me. For my dear and precious family and friends I am so greatful, life would be so hard without them and You! So I offer up this prayer for all of them: May they see Your unfailing love and goodness at every moment in there lives. May they be blessed as everything in our life is another opportunity to fall at your feet and abide in your great love! Amen.
Love Love, rest well tonight!

Has it been so long?
Dearest Friends,
Has it really been so long since we last talked! Or since I have last been to posting something on this little blog!! Forgive me, its even already Novembre! Goodness how the time flies. And goodness; how good God truly is! Oh friends, I have seen His sweet and tender mercies in my life and I know that without a doubt; those same sweet mercies are in abundance for you too. I think that most times when I come to write a little update, I sound like a papagallo or so. Because I really cannot express to you as I wish I could how good the Lord is to us as His sheep. How is it that such a wonderful God is mine, how is it that He takes care of me and yet knows exactly how to stretch me and grow me! I really dont know how I ever once lived without Him living and breathing in me. By the grace of God, go I. And may you dear friend, go on in His precious grace. Be not afraid of putting your hands to the plow and dont look back! Can you imagine the places He is going to take you! And yes, it is indeed such a sacrifice but He is worth my heart completely! Let me quickly pray with you before I go on: Jesus, who are we that you think of us so fondly! Thank you Lord. You are so kind, so faithful and true. Give us a fresh annointing of your Holy Spirit that we can serve you and be faithful lovers of you with our entire beings! Do great things through us, and give us the grace and mercy we need to choose the path of the low road. Amen.
Life is beautiful, isnt it?! Recently we just had our Outreach Week. We had quite a few teams this semester and I was blessed to be helping alongside Vince as he lead our trip back to Montebelluna, Italy. Montebelluna is located in a region called the Veneto. Just think Venice and then Montebelluna is about an hour or so west from there. We spent a week there helping and serving at the church, evangelising and enjoying life as it is in Italia. It was a blessed time and the Lord taught us all really what it meant to live and serve and work in Love and to always be ready to forgive. There isnt a better way in this life. We took the students to Venice and to some other beautiful cities to enjoy fantastic cappuccini and yummy pizza! I always miss that part when I am back here in Germany. But I have learned that each place has its charms and sometimes you just have to look a little harder for them. Sometimes they arent in what you expected them to be. One of the biggest blessings was to see our friends, both those from the church and the friends we made this summer during our time there. One of our dear friends had our entire team to his house for dinner and it was so lovely! His parents are some of the kindest people I know and have always treated Vince and myself with such wonderful hospitality. Keep praying for them! Stef, if you read this: thanks again for having us and give your family my love!. Anyways, in all it was a great trip and I do have to say that I am so greatful to come back to my own room and my own bed here. I love what the Lord has allowed me to do here at the Bible College and I am so blessed that He is opening doors for me to go out to Italy and serve under Pastor Craig and to help at the Bible College they plan to open up. So please keep that in your prayers as well. God is moving and doing a great work out here in Europe!
Have a wonderful evening and remember the Love Jesus has for you. amen!
Ciao Ciao
Love to you all,
