In the depths of winter

Yesterday we went to Oberwiesenthal. My parents went skiing and we went snowboarding
there. We hardly saw the ski run because of all the snowflakes but we had a lot of fun. Luckily we didn't get hurt apart from aching muscles today.

Besides all of the snow action that's going on right now I didn't do very exciting things. I stuck about 300 pictures into my photo album. I'm so very behind with that and I'm still not done. I'm also about to read some books at the moment. The first one is called "Lady in waiting". Marion told me that I have to read it. It talks about being the right woman, a woman of God that He designed you to be and not finding the right man. It's VERY good and I think that's what I need to hear at the moment. Yeah, I had a hard time with that stuff in the past. I'm also still reading "The Purpose Driven Life", one of the best books I've ever read. If you need some encouragement just browse in it. And there are some other books that keep me busy. (So last but not least I'd like to recommend Sigmund Freud's books. Very hard to understand although they're in German :o)
I'm also trying to update our english worship songbook a little bit. And that's not as easy as I thought it would be but I like it a lot. It's fun and many thanks to Karen (I'm glad you're finally "home".) and Alex who help me with that.

On the weekend I'm going to go sledding at Augustusburg with my friends from church. I'm really looking forward to that. That's gonna be awesome. Hope we won't have broken arms or legs at the end of the day.

Well, there's nothing more to share at the moment. Hope y'all will have a good week.

A little prayer

"Father, help me to remember that life is all about love. Today I will take the time to love the people you place in my path. Remind me that loving others is never a waste of time. Teach me to love those who seem unlovable and give them what they need, not what they deserve."

I think I just have to add something to this little prayer.
In the last few weeks I had a hard time with some people and the way they are. It's sometimes not that easy to just accept people that are different in some ways or not like me. I was hoping that they would change fast but I know that changing is a long process that'll endure your whole life and that means that patience is very important.
Another thing is that I have to become a better person first to have a positive influence on somebody else and I can only do it through love. Unconditional love. But this is so hard when these people keep on hurting and dissappointing you over and over again.
