Rest, sunshine and God

Last days have been a bit stressfull, but I also was a witness of something awesome God is doing in my life and my family. The stress I had, was because of 2 things: school and spiritual warfare. I already told about school, about my lack of selfdiscipline and the dutch paper and Latin exam. Well, I finished the paper "in time", and tried to study for my Latin, but that didn't go very well... I didn't get enough sleep too, so when I was making the exam I didn't know the answer to half of the questions and I couldn't concentrate. On friday I only had one hour math lessons, so that was nice :D.

The spiritiual warfare has been going on since my mum, dad and sister accepted my invitation to come to the Christmas service of my church (wiiiii !!), that was on December the 3th. Asking them to come was a warfare on itself already. But after that... my family seemed very happy, maybe even more happy that usual, but I was very...peevish. I didn't want to be like that, because I realised that if I would have I fight with my parents, they might decide to not go to the evening service. And I didn't want that to happen!!! All in all, I made it, hehe.
They came with me to church this Friday night and it was great. Do you recognize this; when other people come with you to church, you try to gloze "strange things" over, because they might not like it? The service was very disorderly, because it was with another congregation, so that was one of those things. But surprisingly, my mum said that she liked it, and that it made her feel more comfortable! My dad, who can hardly speak a word English, sang a long with a few songs and he liked it!

THANK YOU GOD!!!! ( I'm sitting here with a big smile, bouncing on my chair, remembering that evening)



These are pictures of me and my family in Italy. Ow how I would love to see this pictures and know that this family is filled with the love of God. That's my prayer every day.

Lord, I want to thank You. You're doing such great things in my family I never could have dreamed of. I pray for Your help to bring them closer to You and for Your love in me to show that to them, in Jesus name. God I ask You to reveal Yourself to them and I thank You for showing Your incredible power in this small family. I love You Lord with all my heart and I dedicate my life to You. Please teach me how te be just like You. Teach me how to teach others and how to love them like You do! I want to learn te be humble, and to put all my trust in You. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen
