The old adage still stands: "Time flies when you're having fun." I know I'm having a good time here in Switzerland. Though I am having fun, I would just like to take a moment to think of Japan and this crisis their country is going through. They truly have my heartfelt sympathy. If there is something you can do to help with their situation, don't just sit there, do it. We only have one earth and we need to help one another out in times of need. I know they are in my thoughts and prayers daily.

Doing better
Hey there all
Hope I didn't scare the kids with my last post. I admit it was pretty depressing. At least now that I'm feeling better I can look back and appreciate the poetic side of myself.
God knows how to lift me up, and so He did. I am ever thankful to Him for the grace He has given to me. He really lights up my life.
I'm still in Switzerland for a week and a bit. Not sure what the last part of my trip holds due to my being essentially penniless... I had a good time, lived it up and now I'm just going to have to coast. Hope my friends don't mind! Speaking of friends, my friend C is making supper and wants me to join her.
If you're drinking a glass of wine, enjoy one for me, I'm not allowed. Doctor's orders you know.
Cheers or as the Swiss say Proscht!

Remembering is refreshing
Ah how refreshing to remember that God's love is greatest. Truly there is no other like it. He paid with His life to save mine. This evening I went with the mom of my host family here in Switzerland to a women's meeting. They have this meet every second week. The pastor and his wife teach from the word, there is a bit of praise and worship and lots of chatter before and after. It is so wow. From the moment I walked into their church I felt the love. Truly, only God can do such a work in the heart.
They are praying for a revival and I believe they will get one, not just in Switzerland but throughout Europe. There is a tangible love and kindness flowing from this part of the body of Christ that I have seldom seen elsewhere. They are part of the Isaac Network (worldwide) and share the same vision, a big vision. God has used this church to encourage me, refresh me, and reignite a passion in my heart for Him.
This is one thing in Switzerland that I cannot take a photo of but that I will remember the most. As I often quote: "God is good, get to know Him better".
