leaving feeling is diffrent every time

Sad leaving but knowing it wouldn't last forever.
Comforted by looking to the future and living out all that I learned at the Shelter.
Holding on to the faithfulness God displayed through that time.

I was privileged to be a photographer for Katy and Jens's engagment photos.
I've know them as long as they've known eachother, Jens was our small group leader and mentored April and I when we took over leadership. Katy is a good friend and beautiful woman. Both have a strong desire to follow God.
I've been blessed by them.

(apparently the photography looks professional thanks to Katy's editing and Stevens camera)

closeing talk

I really apreciated that the managers took time and energy to have a closing talk with us. I went out for coffee with Francien and it was a great chance to process my time and be herd.

bridge jumping

Bridge Jumping is the best!
its one of the highlights for me
The last time i went was my last day there
we went by the Shelter Jordan and picked up a guest (girl from usa)
whom we made friends with and the cleaner supervisor who was just off shift
it was sweet we went by the shelter city and picked up a bunch of their cleaners
so we ended up with a good group
when we got there it seemed like the whole neighborhood showed up with families BBQing and kids flying off the bridge
I did the rope swing for the first time and it was awesome i realized what i had been missing out on...

Last week at the shelter! :(

wow its already the last week here at the shelter.
The pace of life is so fast that time flies...
I am dealing with alot of random emotions connected to leaving etc...
We have a good bye lunch for Jolanda (my room mate) and I this saturday.
I'm sad to leave but I know I need to rest my weary body.

Bridge jumping!

this saturday I went bridge jumping with some friends... there is a sweet bridge in the east of amsterdam its 12 meters high. Awesome drop and cold water!
It gave me an energy rush to last a week.

Cleaner team is cool two of our cleaners are doing Alpha!
There are allot of emotions and jazz that is being dealt with I've been talking and dealing with allot of stuff. So glad that the time I spend with God in the morning empowers me to lean on him in the day. And direct people to His presence.
