…2012 MONDIAL DE L’AUTOMOBILE – it sounds terrible but if you really want to hear how it’s pronounced: http://translate.google.com/#en/fr/global%20auto You were warned! 😀

I actually liked the motorshow, don’t know how the others liked it but I know that Hannah wasn’t totally into the whole „l’automobile“ thing.

Anyway, just a short slideshow of the pics I made:

Goodbye’s…

…the saddest word…I re-discovered this song today while I was driving home from a week’s worth of work in the other side of the republic and saw the music video to this today for the first time:

 
It’s a sad love song for her mother but something in it just applies to me right now and I don’t know what it is. I just feel real connected to it now and it’s not because it’s going to be Mother’s Day in 2 days. I thought about other people on the way home and what happened this week and how my expectations fell to the ground and crushed into tiny bits of self-humiliation, discouragement and mostly just sadness. It was and still is my stupidity, make up all these plans in my head and then nothing works out. Why? Because I just fantasize all the time…ALL THE TIME.
Thank God, I’ve got Him. If it wouldn’t be for Him, I’d be somewhere on drugs and getting drunk everyday just to forget.  Wow, haven’t planned to end it this way…but this is actually the BEST way to end a post – Thank you, Jesus, my best friend, my never-going-to-let-you-down-ever!!!

…is what I teach „my“ little children at language school 🙂

To say the truth, I didn’t know whether to take up these classes, on one hand I had (and still have a bit) difficulties interacting with little children and these were supposed to be 3-6yrs old…but on the other hand, it seemed as a good challenge for me and I do like a good challenge from time to time 🙂 At the end, I didn’t even have to decide, I came to school to talk about it a bit more with the principal but just when I entered – „So you’ll start next week and we’ll have to prepare and blablablbalba“ !

Some advice for next time: never say „I’ll think it about it“ to your employer 😀

…again. Man, I should do this more often, I’m losing it again. Like always, who doesn’t? But that cannot be our excuse! We wouldn’t get anywhere…
Sometimes it’s better to just stop and look hard, really really very very hard at oneself. Just shut our big ol‘ always-quicker-than-the-mind mouth and let the Holy Spirit operate. Now most of the time it’s gonna sting. Hurt. He’ll break something. He’ll rip something out. He’ll just totally CLEANSE us. It ain’t nothing peaceful and enjoyable (‚cause we people are a bunch of knuckleheads fighting for the stupidest things) but it sure is needed and you do get peace and joy afterwards.
It’s really easy to think we ought to be cleansed just a few times a year, probably twice while we’re cleaning our house as well, but I’ll try to explain how your spirit life is gonna look with just two operations… Everyday, EVERYDAY right when you wake up, what do you think of? Jesus? The Church? God’s Will? Anything to do with God? If not, that’s one pile of dung on you. Let’s say you’re in a hurry to work and need to grab that smoothie and sandwich you premade last night – but your kid’s eating it in front of you. If you smile and give him milk with it – fine – if not – another pile of dung, that’s two. Get the idea? So at the end of the day, do you want to wash or not? (I’m not talking to you disgusting people, you need to get holy first!) Not washing everyday, the old stuff dries up and it gets harder and harder to get rid of it and pretty soon it gets harder for you to talk to „cleansed“ people so you’re satisfied with the other „dirty“ people…
It’s our decision to be cleansed everyday and I want to encourage everyone of you to really make that decision – ask Jesus to forgive you your sins, get washed, get healing, get vision and move on!
This post was mostly for me to put together my thoughts, priorities, relationships but I hope that whoever reads this gets some encouragement to walk on with Christ and never look back! I love you all so much, it’s actually funny, but Jesus showed me how – He can show you as well.
