Life is a miracle..

Last year around Christmas time, when my home was India, my mom send me a postcard on which was written: "Open yourself and a miracle will come into your life"!
And I sat on a bench and looked up into starry Asian sky and dreamed..

Time after time I am experiencing again, that miracles do happen and very often. We just need to believe in them, notice them and allow them to happen.

Right now I am in a wonderful place in Crimea (Ukraine), spending crazy, challenging and inspiring time, seeing how a dream have taken a shape and become a reality. Something that me and my friends have been working on for long month and almost given up now is happening. And it is a miracle, which I still sometimes can't really believe in. Life is amazing.

Around month ago, when I was sitting on the beach of the Black Sea with my friend from Crimea and feeling so much down about all this project we are in right now, she told me the story about footprints:

FOOTPRINTS

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was only one.

"This bothered me because I noted that during the low periods of my life,

when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord, "You promised me, Lord that if I followed you, you would walk with me always.

But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has been only one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there with me?" "The Lord replied,

'During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."


I have been thinking of this story a lot lately... I have really felt, that I am not alone and I am being taken care of..

Time..

It has been quite a while I haven't been writing anything, but sometimes life goes so fast, that you can hardly catch up with it... You just feel like an observer standing somewhere on the side of the road and watching a weird movie...

I have been all over the place lately: Georgia, Sweden, Holland (my second home), Italy, Ukraine...

I spent wonderful time in Georgia meeting with simple people and being together with my wonderful friends.

After that Holland has become almost like a second home for me - going crazy with all the Action for Europe preparation things... Coming back again and again.
Two weeks ago we had here small AfL3 reunion:) Chris B. was here with his brother and sister, me, Marielle and Magdalena... Woaw. Indescribable feelings and atmosphere...

I spent a wonderful time in Crimea being part of F4F course, which amazed me and gave me so much peace I could never expect.. Together with wonderful young and a bit older people ;)
Just on the coast of the Black Sea... reminded me a little bit something from our time in Panchgani, India.


Now I am back to Holland again and just in few days leaving for Crimea to start our wonderful Action for Europe project. You can follow this in our new blog: www.action-for-europe.blogspot.com
