I've always felt like a little lamb that doesn't know which way to go but is constantly being gently nudged towards the source by the ewe (God). Just when I stuck my head under the fence again, that gentle nudge came again...
In this new newsletter, many other children and young people tell you real experiences from their everyday lives and what moves them. A big THANK YOU to everyone who shares their experiences with us. Because if you have already forgotten it, others can benefit from it.
It was the first day I could go to kindergarten. In the morning, when mom got me ready in time, we noticed that I only had one each of my sandals and sneakers left...
This summer, many new children joined us in the first kindergarten group. They are caterpillars, and I have now become a "butterfly" (that's the big ones in the second year of kindergarten). I really enjoy being a role model in kindergarten...
A lot of people tell me that I'm a "bright spark". I can also make my siblings laugh quite well. Dad and mom say that I'm a "happiness hormone" (I don't know what that is, but I think it's something great 😊).
To hold up the staff means to do the same as Moses did at the sea. BEFORE the sea was parted, or the impossibility dissolved, he first had to hold up his staff in FAITH. Only THEN did this amazing miracle happen and the sea parted!
"God always says YES! To every single confession of mine - no matter if out of faith or out of unbelief. He always and exclusively says YES to it." (internal message of Sept. 3, 2022) Uhgg! If that's true, then I have to immediatly watch out what I say!!! Do you know how many more things come out of my mouth, where God just says YES to it because I said so? For example, "I'll never get it right." He says, "Yes!" "I'm always the problem" "Yes!" "Life is really sad ..." "Yes!" "I think I'm sick", "Yes!" etc.
For as long as I can remember, the same scene has repeated itself over and over again on our family vacations. At some point we just sit until late at night and listen to the most exciting stories from the time when we were still in diapers or did not even exist. One question follows the last one and again and again something new comes up, so that you 'feel like' you had never heard this before.
"We have this feeling often enough. We think: Now I've done everything wrong, now it can't turn out well. But the Lord says: Why not? After all, if I make the rules of the game, no matter what you did wrong, whether you wanted to or not, it comes out BETTER in the end!"
Summertime is almost over again and with it our big outreach time at the basis, here in Panorama Center. One practice day followed the next and in between there were also volunteer weeks, in which OCGers could come to us in Walzenhausen for organic training. I had the opportunity to prepare a lot of projects, visualize and "resurrect" in some challenges, so that we could even function together as a swarm and move the mountains very practically!
