England

So I just returned from England where I visited my sister and brother in law.
I went there on Thursday with my parents and my brother. The way over there was crazy. From Holland to France there was no problem, but the boat taking us to England had a 3 hour delay. When we where finely in England the first hour was okay, but after that we were in a traffic jam for about an hour because of a soccer game (crazy English men).
finely we made it to my sisters house though. I had a great time there with my family. I've missed my sister a lot sins I moved to Amsterdam and I was happy to see her.
Unfortunately the weekend was more of an race around then a relax weekend, but I had a great time and I thank God for seeing them again as well as giving me the opportunity to see them and spend time with them.

I did have plenty opportunity to read while sitting in the car and I did read quite a lot I started to read in Isaiah and I find it very interesting how God works in peoples lives how He chooses to use them and the gifts He can give. He is Amazing God.

I also have been busy thinking about this one verse in the bible in Romans 12:1
therefore I urge you brothers and sisters to offer your body's as living sacrifices Holy and pleasing God this is your spiritual act of worship.
I've been praying about it a lot that the Lord will show me what He has in store from me, so I can really be a living sacrifice and a living testimony for Him.
And I still need prayer for that.

for now this is it and I'll let you know how it is going later on....

So my first blog...

I could say a lot of things, but I think I will stick to what is important...
The last couple of weeks or should I say months the Lord has really been teaching me a lot of things...
the first thing was/is: depend on me if something is troubling you it doesn't help going any where besides to Me...
the second thing was/is : Running away from me doesn't really work you'll come eventually, but the longer you wait the harder it will be to depend on me...
and the third thing was/is: pray!!! Continually pray.....

so I quit smoking, I'm giving away a lot of my movies and destroying the ones that don't give honor to God and I pray...
The Lord is really throwing my life upside down, and instead of hating this I love it and not only that it gives me peace instead of upsetting me...

Another important thing He is teaching me is obedience... God gives a lot to mankind, though all He desires is obedience, for all other things will be under this...

Lord I want to thank You for these last couple of days, it was beautiful weather and I really praise you for all the beautiful things You gave because of it. I thank You for the fellowship I you gave me here in Amsterdam and all You have done sins.... I want to pray for everyone working and staying at the hostle's that the guests hearts may be opened so the will see You and seek for You the rest of their life's. And for the staff that they will seek You more each day and that we may find strength in You so that You can work thrue us and with us Lord. I pray that You will teach me more and You keep sanctifying me thrue all I do. And all I think and all I am... I pray I keep searching for You and longing for You and coming to You laying my life down for You... Lord teach me to become more and more like You , teach me how to pray and what to do so I may follow You in all You are.... Amen
