Winter in Eindhoven

Just a short blog to share my day with you.

It snowed last night.. much more than we all expected...and much more than it did in years..
This resulted in the biggest chaos i've seen in years in my hometown.
I haven't seen so many cars stuck on the road in my life..
I haven't been in such a long trafficjam in my hometown ever in my life.
And never.. did i have such a long journey to work..
Usually it take me about 30-40 minutes.. today it took me 2,5 hours!!

But besides the long journey.. this was one of the coolest days of this winter!
Playing the snow with the kids at work.. enjoying the pretty sights..
I loved it!

So.. here are a few pics of winter in holland!

Hello 2009!

Happy New Year!

I can't believe 2009 is already here.. Time really flies..
I can remember this exact day last year.. Januari 1st 2008.. the day before i left to Portugal.
I remember having a party and saying goodbye to aalll my family and friends.
A year has passed.. and looking back i can say this was one more amazing year. Maybe one of the most amazing in my life.
I look back on so many blessings, and I'm really grateful to God for everything he has given me in 2008.
All the new friends, the places I've been, the things He led me to do. It was absolutely amazing!
And this really makes me excited about 2009. Because I know God has so much more in store for me (and you!). Great things will happen in 2009!
I'm excited and really can't wait to see where God is gonna lead me this year, what great things He will do.
I really hope you can say the same thing. I hope you feel the same excitement, the same passion burning inside of you to be the person that He wants you to be. He can use you and me to do great things in this world.
A world that needs God, that needs Love.
All we have to do is be available. Say Here I am God. Take me as I am. Mold me, Use me.

Show me a vision like Isaiah saw,
Where the angel touched his lips and he sinned no more.
Let me hear your voice saying “Who shall I send?”
I’ll say send me Lord,
I’ll follow you to the end.

Show me a vision like Eziekel saw,
An army of light from a valley of bones.
Breathe life into these lungs of mine,
So I can scream and shout of your love divine.

Search light, burns bright, floods my eyes,
Invade me, serenade me, I’m giving back my life.

Here I am send me,
Here I am send me,
There’s nothing in my hands,
But here I am send me.

I’m in Jacobs dream seeing heavens gate,
Let me climb all night on my ladder of faith.
Wrestle with the angel till my body is weak,
Dislocate my bones for it’s you that I seek.

Show me the light Paul apostle saw,
When he fell to the dust and he could see no more,
Open my eyes, open my eyes,
Open my eyes, open my eyes.

Search light, burns bright, floods my eyes,
Invade me, serenade me, I’m giving back my life.

Here I am send me,
Here I am send me,
There’s nothing in my hands,
But here I am send me.

I’m frightened what you’ll find,
When you open up my heart,
I’m walking in the light,
Cos it’s light that changes the atmosphere,
So touch these lips that criticise,
And put a song in my mouth that opens our eyes

Here I am send me,
Here I am send me,
There’s nothing, I'm nothing, There's nothing, I'm nothing
But here I am send me!!!

May this new year be full of joy and happiness and may the Lord lead you (and me)to places where you can be a blessing to others!

Love,
Deborah
