.... "There She Stands" by Michael W Smith...

I have to apologize to my Canadian friends...  I am so thankful for having been able to live in this wonderful country for the last 19 years, I became a Canadian in 2004, and I am proudly voting whenever I can, pay my taxes and studied all about the provinces and everything... have never been out West, but all the way to Prince Edward Island... all I have seen is beautiful and it is such a privilege to live here...

today, though, is the 4th of July... and, listening to the man sing about this neighbour country of ours, who plays the strings of my heart like no one ever has or ever will ( yes, that's what I believe... I will gladly allow myself to be proved wrong :).... singing  "there she stands"... with a music video that has no comparison... ( something to be learned here Lady Gaga and fans :S ) tears well up and my heart resonates in a way that I cannot comprehend or explain...

thinking about this on Canada Day.... born a German.. chosen to leave my roots behind, I have embraced what I think is my citizenship in Heaven... this is not my home, neither is Germany... nor even the United States of America, even though I cannot lie... I would love to live there one day... Franklin Tennessee really sounds like a great place to me right now..... ;)

we are not of this world yet called to live in it... for one reason only.. to share the Good News with those that do not know and freely share His love with others... this is wherever he will call us to be and do that..
working on the finishing touches of the website for Hope for Life today, I am in awe and full of excitement again at the opportunity... so, it doesn't matter.... Hope for Life in Georgetown, Ontario or Miriam's Promise in Nashville, TN.... ( yeah... that's what they have there... now if that is not a sign I want to see one...) or an orphanage in South Africa or an agency working fiercely to stop Human trafficking in India.... when He asks me " who will go?" my answer is: "me... use me...."  Because I want to be right smack in the middle of His will for me... because I am sure that this is the very bestest ever place for anyone who loves the Lord like I do!!!!

in the meantime I am getting busy with what He has entrusted me with for now.... so exciting!!!!!!!!!
