like a busy little bee..

it shouldn't be surprising that, after a post concerning rest and quietness, i should be more or less swamped with opportunities to DO. :) it's ok, that's why i'm here. i know the Lord has good plans in store, and He's prepared good works for me to walk in, so walk i shall. i really want to stay in this place of calmness in my heart- it makes this crazy life much more tolerable and highly livable, and - dare i add - enjoyable!
this morning sabine and i, after considerable time in discussion and prayer, christened today Stress Free Day. [although at first glance it might seem otherwise, the discussion and prayer were not for the express purpose of the weighty task of naming the day. the day-name came after all of that - plus a big coffee.] pretty much every staff girl around this place had it written on her thumb by lunchtime!

so what have i been working on today?
-march worship schedule [devotions]
-worship outreach schedule [sending teams to a few other churches in the area who don't have worship leaders.. takes a good deal of coordination, i'm finding out]
-going back to the BFA! black forest academy emailed me this morning to ask for a team to come out to Nürnberg [Nuremberg] for their senior high retreat.. in 11 days. March 5-8. i wrote back immediately with a resounding "Yes!".. our team is pretty much set, now we just have to work out the details. i've been thinking about those kids/staff a lot lately, and i'm really glad to see them again, and to have this opportunity to be "complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." [2 Timothy 3:17]
-getting excited to go back to sweden too for the 2nd annual Women's Retreat hosted by CC Stockholm! we got to go last year, and last week we purchased our tickets to go again. very excited. 30 april - 4 may.
-last night i put some finishing touches on a song i wrote in fall 2007 during my time at home.. and tonight i recorded it. i'll try to post it on my purevolume whenever time and internet cooperation happen to coincide.
soooo, since i'm a teacher at a bible college and my class is in a couple days.. i'm going to go study for it. 
alle Gottes segen!

God replaces stress with strength- David strengthened himself in the Lord (instead of stressing :))
