it's official.
my jeans don't fit. it's time to come home to america...
my flight leaves at 11am germany time tomorrow. i have said my goodbyes and now i will pack and pray i wake up to my 4:15 alarm and that i make all of my trains and connections and all that jazz. i am refreshed and renewed and have remembered how god has made me unique and how he talks to me uniquely. he gives GOOD gifts and he likes to spoil me. i have been loved on and encouraged and challenged over and over here. i can't believe it's over.
how will this trip flesh out back home? how will this redemption story unfold in kc? how can i get others to pray with me about what god has stirred in my gut? i am reminded that it's time to lay down some things and pick up others. i look toward what is next and banding together with others to draw out his Holy Spirit in me/us. he is good. i want to trust him.
see ya'll real soon!
this was the sidewalk chalk welcoming i received from my creative and thoughtful roomie, beth.

hmmmm
god talks to me all the time every day. i just need to continue to fine-tune my hearing so i know when to act.
he has a redemption plan for my life. he can turn all the crazy stuff into good beautiful gifts.
he believes in community and the body of christ needing each other deeply; not consumeristic churches and friends.
it's not about me. so i can stop worrying and trying and figuring it all out. he's done pretty well so far.
i am hungry for more. and more. and more.

stitches out.
the best part of the removal was the fake fainting to psych michael and matt out.
kudos to meghan's mad acting skills.
and the pain level is going down. the limp noodle handshake is still in effect, but i at least have two working hands for everyday use.
did i seriously live here?
starnberg. it's fabulously beautiful and theraputic and wonderful and i love it.
the mystery that is trash day
here's the deal; you have to be a regular sleuth to know when and what trash to put out in order to move it from your apartment to the highly sought-after dump/recycling center. i've heard that the #1 crime people are fined for in germany is illegal trash dumping, starting at rates of 10,000 euros. for fun we have to scout for dumpsters or trash cans to drop off our various plastics, paper, or regular trash a.k.a. restmull under the cover of darkness. this is serious, people.
see if you can make heads or tails of this intricate pickup schedule:
or you notice that others have yellow bags sitting out, which you determine to mean that plastic trash must certainly come that day or the following, so you rush back home to gather all of yours together and get it to the curb ASAP. and naturally, you hope and pray that you didn't in fact wrongly deduce what was happening in this mysterious guessing game and find yourself fined or being yelled at by your german landlord for being an idiot or that you're above the law. as if...?
