A Real Blog

Hello, friends. Ken and I are back in the States...and reconnected to the internet. Note to selves: never leave home (the country) without a laptop. Our team leaders kept up a wonderful blog about the week's events in Berlin. We hope you enjoy it!http://web.mac.com/jody_nixon/iWeb/Berlin%202007/Berlin%20Intro.html

Departure Countdown

It's Saturday...and we leave on Monday. My mind is spinning...laundry, soccer games, packing, taking Airborne, maps, instructions for the boys, cleaning for the potential renters tomorrow night, getting the word out that a window to move has opened (and we need money and pledges to move). Copying health records, passports; insurance and bank set up for Germany; art and university contacts in Berlin. Still looking for a map. Printing gallery packages, fixing siding, taking vocab quizes...and did I mention the bamboo in our back yard? "Do not worry about your life...But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Mt. 6:25, 33) Thank you, Jesus, for teaching the people that day, and for reminding them to write down your words, so I could be reminded today. Praying for the church there/our group going, turning my mind toward loving God, choreographing prophetic worship dances for the kids we'll meet at the Kinderfest next week, asking God to come...here, there, in us, in them. ---Leilani
