Well, dangit. Tomorrow morning I’m leaving from Cologne to come back to the USA. I will get back to O-town (Omaha for those of you who have no clue - just think the middle of the USA, corn, fields, happy families, you get it) tomorrow evening at about 10 p.m. So, I’ll expect a nice welcome back par-tay.

I don’t know, God is just so good to me, sometimes it freaks me out. I just love Him so much, I can’t help it. Today I got to see Charlie & Innes for about 3 hours, and to catch up with them (I lived with them for 2 months in Dortmund). And as I was leaving their house, I put on my music and I had this amazing song come on that I love so much, by Paul Wright, called You’re Beautiful, and it was a little chilly, with the smell of impending rain breezing through the trees. And I was taking a stroll through the streets of Germany, feeling loved and excited about life and what God is doing. He just freaks me out sometimes how amazing He is, and how much He loves me.

Tonight I’ll hang out with the Goerings, that’s right be jealous, and then probably not sleep much until I get to the airport. Thank goodness they’re still allowing carry-ons after the London scares. Oh! Yesterday Timothy and Jesse and I got to the Dortmund Hbf (train station), and there were police everywhere, because there was a bomb scare. We were all excited until we found out that it was just a blanket, and food in the backpack. Dangit! So our lives weren’t in danger…too bad.

More updates and pictures soon when I’m back in America!

Oh, I’m missing camp, but that’s okay. It’s a good problem to have. I’m in Berlin and really having a great time, just kind of relaxing, taking nice long walks, last night jesse & I took one to a park and it was a perfect night, beautiful moon, it had rained earlier so it was fresh and smelled wonderful. It’s nice to be walking through a park in Berlin late at night. About 3 years ago I would have probably gone crazy with excitement if you would have told me that, but now it’s somehow all normal. A wonderful normal, though.

Today we’re going to chill and babysit Joshua, and then tomorrow is some nice clothes shopping and then to dortmund on sunday!

I’m not ready to go home!

I’m in an italian ice cream cafe in Berlin, and I had an amazing time at camp! So amazing, wow. I don’t have time to explain as it is 12:05 in the morning, and a mouse just ran by my feet. Meredith & Brian are here with me freaking out so I should leave. I had such an amazing time at camp, met people that understood me in ways I never seem to be able to find. We’re all part of a passion for a new generation of Christians, it’s very exciting!

Off to more adventures in Berlin!

Nothing like a midnight game of tennis to send me off!

Well goodness, I’m off to Germany again in about 12 hours! I’m returning to Sprachcamp, and very excited to be there. I think God has special plans for these 3 weeks. There will be two camps, each one week long, with a few days of fun on both ends for us hard-working slave Americans who have nothing fun to do during the whole camp….yeah….

And then I’ll be in Berlin for a few days and then probably in Dortmund, but you never know. I’ll keep you posted.

I’ll be back August 17!

 Ciao!

If you haven’t heard yet, and you probably haven’t, God has done what I considered to be impossible! He has worked things out in amazing ways in order to provide a way for me to go to Sprachcamp 2006 in Germany, the same camp I went to last year that basically changed quite a few things in my life. Okay, almost all of it. I’ll be leaving July 18 and probably be gone for 5 weeks.

I didn’t think there was any possibility for this to happen, and if you knew what has been going on behind the scenes in my life leading up to this, you would be amazed as well.

And so I wanted to say thank you to God for coming to my rescue, yet again.
