friday was a national holiday. better known as czechoslovakian statehood day - so i decided to celebrate with a trip. got chewy and matt together and we caught a train to cesky krumlove. officially my new favorite place in the czech republic. beautiful. this place looks like it is right out of a fairy tail. we had a blast. meeting new people, hanging out with old friends and just being in a very cool place. met some new friends from all over. finland, france, germany and some more from prague. saw castles and churches and even some bears in a pit under a moat. so we just had a great time. here are pics...

riding the train is so relaxing. i love rolling through the countryside at like 50km/h. so great to see everything and not have to drive. so i spent a lot of time thinking.

my head has been going crazy lately. i have been reading through the bible trying to get a better glimpse into the heart of my savior. trying to see what i can see. trying to just grasp whatever there is to grasp. lately there have been loads of discussions with friends. new friends whom i have been praying to meet and 'old' friends whom i am talking to about what i believe. such times can be trying, but they bring about new realities, new thoughts, new feelings and maybe new skins. new layers that i am not sure about - that i know are there and feel really wierd. but ones i know i need to have. when we allow ourselves to expose these layers - it is in these times that god can come in and fill the gaps that we didnt know we had. and the evolution continues. but it is so hard to allow this to happen. it hurts like hell and exposes stuff we might not want exposed. but isnt that how we grow? isnt that how we learn?

i have so many questions. what is in store for this amazing country? there are amazing stories about faith here in this rich history - and yet only about 19% of the people believe in any kind of god. what roads should i go down. what bridges should i cross? investing in people and a nation that isnt mine is not easy for me. but this is what i am supposed to be doing. and i have come to see that waiting on god isnt a passive thing. it is actively seeking his will. actively pursueing his people and therefore his heart.

this adventure is taking me so many places and never knowing where i will be. but if you are doing what god has in store for your life - will you ever know? if i am to be his hands and feet - will i ever know? i doubt it - but i like it.
