To Find Myself...

The present is beautiful... it is Poland. It is my heart, the bone of my bones, the core of my being, my root, my long forgotten identity.
I am glad to be here, I am glad my stay has been extended. I needed this extra time to be able to process the last one and a half years of my life, to search for my lost, happy self.
I hope I found it.. and I will never let it go again.
This trip is special to me, and so I decided to open my eyes and my ears, seek God, and hear His voice. I did hear it, I saw His face, and I was transformed!

This is what I realized this past week:
" If I try to fulfill all my dreams at once, or forget about my dreams at all, I will never get anywhere, my dreams will never come true. I must remember my priorities and do these first. God is in control of my life which is like a puzzle with no pieces missing. So I do not need to worry, I do not need to strive. I must LIVE, LOVE, and ENJOY what I have TODAY! I must be HAPPY! There is no other choice!
I must LIVE MY LIFE IN FULLNESS.
I must know who I am in Him, not just talk about it, but remember my identity when I am lost or when I forget what truly matters in this life. So RELAX and BE YOURSELF!"

LONG AGO...

I have been away from my writings for a while now. So much happened in my life since the famous Montana camp out... yet I will not share it, no time to waste. I would rather write about the present and the future...

The Baptism

Christian Summer Camp 2007, Montana. The baptism took place in a little creek. God was there with us...

On the road to Montana...

It was the most crazy trip I have ever took... First time in my life I came face to face with a deer crossing the road just in front of our van. I closed my eyes, expecting the windchill to be red... instead it was gray. Hm... it took me a while to calm down my stomach and get used to terrible smell of fresh killed flesh. Then it was all better, and we were all happy that we took that trip.
