my sacred romance

Hello everyone!
Only three weeks to go (2 weeks and 6 days to be exact), which is why I am headed out for Geneva in about 15 minutes. It's kinda my last chance to see Geneva, cos next weekend we'll be writing our Final Exam and the weekend after that I'm guessing we'll be busy with other stuff since it'll be our last weekend here.
Well, by now it is set that I am not going on outreach - which is qutie a bummer! I was so excited about going to Amsterdam, but my leadership here had the sense or feeling that is not the right time for me to go. well it's long story and i will spare you... ;-)

Last night we had our personal "Sacred Romance" presentation. It was really exciting to hear everyone's little story (everyone had only 5 minutes) of how God has been pursuing them all their lives.
My Sacred Romance is all about music. I mean, God has been pursing me in many different ways, but music is definetly the strongest. It is the one thing that speaks to me the loudest and clearest. But it is also an area where I have been hurt a lot. Both in the way of simply never being in couraged in it and the one time I actually dared to step out in spite of the lack of encouragement I was put down for it. So I stopped singing (at least in public). And it was not until three weeks ago when we had Paolo and Paola Bigoni speaking at our school - that it came up again. When Paolo was praying for me he felt something rising in me (I was like what is that going to be?!?) - a song. Well, you can only imagine in that moment I became a river (of tears).
It was so powerful and it went so deep. So he continued to really pray into that. It was amazing.
So for My Romance last night I sang the song that caused me so much heartache 10 years ago!
It was great! It was like something was being lifted off me... more later...
my "taxi" is waiting to take me to the train station.
love you all, God is good.
