The last taste of Summer

September, oh sweet September. They are usually wonderful and sunny here in southern Germany. September feels like the last rays of summer sun and the first taste of fall. I love the fall and cannot wait for it to start.
I know I haven't posted much in a while. I have been on Campfour in Tuscany, Italy. It was an amazing time with the most amazing youth. I wish I could tell you all about it, but it is so much and it was so incredibly awesome.
One thing I want to mention though is that we could not have done without the amazing team we are. Best friends, fellow warriors, together!

Here are two pictures, one from each camp:

And now fall is approaching and there is a lot going on and I really feel like God is shaping my dreams, clearing some of the undeveloped polaroids in my life. I feel that there will be answers to a couple of questions soon. And I am excited and cannot wait. All I want is to follow Jesus more than ever before. I want more of him in my life. I want to be closer.

So, whatever Fall may bring, I am ready.

Summer of Hope

Today my summer hast officially started as I am entering a three and a half weeks break. The thought of not working for this long is not sitting with me yet, but it will sure start tomorrow as we leave for Campfour 2010. I will be at Camp for the next two weeks, so enjoy your summer, enjoy your time.

Summerrain

Another thing I love about summer is rain... ok, that sounds strange... I love the warm and steamy rain of summer, the sudden flood of water. Just the other week it was one of these really hot days we were all waiting for the thunderstorm and the rain to clear the air when finally around midnight it started raining. So we all went outside and stood in the rain, ran, laughed, got refreshed, it was wonderful.

Summer Love and Festivals

Finally the sun is back and it is supposed to be hot again tomorrow. I'm happy.

Ok, so summer is also festival time and we have a festival here called Kieswerk Open Air. It's the best location ever and so much fun. They show movies every night throughout a whole week. On top of that there's food stands and a band playing and an art show. It's awesome.
I only had my cell phone with me, but the photos turned out ok.

This area has been one of my favorite places to bike recently. It's so open and calm and natural and beautiful.

This is where the festival is at. The sky was beautiful yesterday. It is such a cool area and the screen is huge.

That is an extremely old house that they use as an art room and exhibition room now. The art show was really cool and was called Crossing Borders.

Ok, so that trailer was one of my favorite things of the festival because they sold coffee and crepe and this really nice couple own it. I mean... I would love to travel in such a thing for a summer and see things.

Me and my lovely roomate and best friend right before the movie started!

I love summer!

Explore Dream Discover

So yesterday I found this quote ant thought it was so awesome!

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~Mark Twain

Let's get out of the boat, let's sail to distant seas and explore the unown, dream of things beyond imagination and discover that God is surely fulfilling dreams and making the impossible possible... see how extraordinary things will happen!

Summer days

It is summer, like seriously summer and I have decided to take on a lighter note throughout the next couple of weeks. This means whatever fun, summerly, fresh will come my way I will post. For me summer is so light and natural and fun and I love summer nights. I think they are amazing, when everything cools down and you can hear the crickets chirr and you can see the stars and it is still warm and nice out. It's one of my favourite things ever.

So today I am starting with a picture that I adore. It so speaks from my heart... I love trees so the combination of this picture is simply awesome! Go enjoy!



Anyways, always love your comments! Enjoy your summer!
