Home sweet home

I'm back in Germany even if its only for a short few weeks until the beginning of April.
Which means its about time I got you guys filled in and up-to-date on things.
Well, first of all I won'T be going back to Thailand - at least not anytime soon. As strange as it may seem and it still does to me sometimes, I know that my time there was/is up. I mean from day one my stay in Thailand turned out to be completely different from what I had expected.

I came to Thailand wanting to serve God, love the people, preach the gospel, heal the sick, ... you get the idea. God had a very different agenda on His mind.
His first priority in bringing me there was Me! He wanted to work on and in me. Little did I know that I was about to face the hardest year of my life so far. A time where a lot of old wounds and hurts were brought up again. All those things I had been running from for so long and all of a sudden I was brought face to face with them again. Including some of my worst fears and nightmares. Believe me I wasn't very appreciative at the time.

But looking back today - I truly am grateful!
Because the Holy Spirit has opened up my eyes to see all the valuable lessons I learned during this time of constant tests and trials. Lessons unfortunately no classroom in this world will ever be able to teach us, lessons we can only learn by living them.

At the end of the day all that is left for me to say is that God is God, that He will always come through to matter what the odds, that He is the only one worthy of all our praise. He is the God I love and the God I trust with my life!
