Genesis

I’m all moved in to my own apartment . It’s lovely! Very spacious. Two rooms (well 3 if you count the bathroom….actually, 4, if you count the big closet!). And I especially like the location. Right in the center of Katowice. Close to work (10 min. walk for me) and lots of shops and restaurants nearby. And several bus ( Read more... )

“Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged”

I learned some new polish vocabulary(which I don’t know how to spell): boli, loot, guave, pletsa, poopa (pain, ice, head, back, butt). Yep, it’s the hospital experience. I slipped on some ice right outside the office building Monday last week (27th of February) after the first day of ( Read more... )

I'm starting to remember things about my faith. I mean, I always remembered that I was a Christian, I just couldn't remember why exactly. ...you ever have those moments? Even without the actual memory loss? In the hospital I tried to pray, but couldn't think of what to say. So I would just be like "hi God...um hi. I hope I get better soon... and ( Read more... )

Hi my name is Mirjam and I live in the hospital. Yep. I'm back in here again. Well I've decided I'm just not going to worry about the whole situation anymore. There's a saying (well it's a bible verse) that goes "cast all your cares on god because he cares for you." okay so I'll do that then. My worries are balls of velcro and god is a big velcro ( Read more... )

I know that Jesus and me, God and me, are one - through the Holy spirit (which is Jesus...and also God). ( Read more... )

 I found something. You know how Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" ?  (It seemed to be the favorite Bible verse of pretty much all the athletes at my high school). Well the Dutch translation says "I can handle all things through Christ who strengthens me."  And that actually makes a lot more sense... in ( Read more... )

 I think that God speaks to me. (and probably to everyone, but either most people don't listen, or it's rarely talked about). Not in a voice that I can hear, but it's more like sudden thoughts in my head. Often, these "god" thoughts contradict what i was thinking before that. And they are always full of love, compassion, and wisdom - more than ( Read more... )

I don't know whether I'm right in thinking I was wrong then ( Read more... )
