jugglers

Now if only I had almost forgotten this cute little story here to post. She was part of the service, I have visited Carnival Sunday. The theme was "My friend, the clown."

The praying jugglers

There once was a juggler, who went dancing and jumping from place to place, until he was tired of the unsettled life . Then he surrendered all his possessions and entered the monastery at Clairvaux one. But because he had spent his life up there with jumping, dancing and cartwheels, his life of the monks was a stranger, and he did not speak a prayer or to sing a Psalter.
He walked silently, and when he saw how everyone seemed knowledgeable of prayer, of religious books read and the choir sang the Mass, he stood by shame: Oh, he alone, he could not. "What am I doing here?" he said to himself, "I do not pray and can not take my word. I'm here useless and not worthy of the robe, the one dressed me."
In his grief he escaped one day when the bell rang for the Liturgy, secluded in a chapel. "If I can not even pray with the Convention the monks, "he said to himself," so I will do but what I can. "Rasch brushed it off the monk's robe and stood there in his colorful coat, in which he had roamed as a juggler. And while the high chorus Psalm chants waft, it starts with body and soul to dance back and forth, left and right around. Sometimes he goes on his hands through the chapel, sometimes he flips in the air and jump the wildest dances to praise God . How long and choral prayers of the monks takes, he dances constantly, until it verschlägt of respiratory failure and the members of their service.
A monk but he was followed by a window and had his dance jumps watched and secretly brought the abbot. The next day this was the brother to Himself. The poor man was terrified and believed deeply that he should be punished for the missed prayer. So he fell down before the abbot and said, "I know, that is not here I stay I will move out of free will and bear with patience the restlessness of the road again.." But bowed to the abbot of him, kissed him and asked him to stand up for him and all the monks to God: "In your dance you have honored God with heart and soul of us, however, may he forgive all the trite words that come from the lips. without sending them our heart. "

Where In Scotland Do Puffins Live

Not the end

I usually prefer to listen in English or Dutch Christian music because my German just does not like it or respond, but the band Ararat, to which I am eventually become aware of their album "Gold", it is different. Similarly, I do not mind that it is a singer, which drives the songs, which I usually taste not so appealing. But as already mentioned, here it is different. The lyrics are good, catchy music, because I like to listen to and let me suggest. :-) So too in the last few days, where the band has once again found their way onto my MP3 player. ;-)

Not the end

There are times when you need fall'n to the feet to come 'n, offend
to up to spür'n itself.
cries, to you at last to stand crying again,
be blocked to führ'n your mind to new ways.
And you have to lose your balance,
so you come back in swing, which is faltering.
And sometimes you have to be lonely, find
a loyal friend, understands you without words.
be leaving you to know again what you want.
cry And that you finally laugh.


The chorus is still not the end, it starts at grade given.
What feels like the rest, constantly pushes you forward. And questions are
always, but one stands
that a rocky road is approaching its goal.

And often you will suddenly shifted the way, thus opening another
is that you have overlooked. Sometimes you have to
stand crying deep down in you,
the noise to drown out that makes you sussed.
find something for you to begin your search.
be a laugh, that you love your opinion.

chorus

This is not the end. This is not the end.
questions are always there, but one stands
that a rocky road is approaching its goal.
be leaving you to know again what you want.
cry And that you finally laugh.

chorus

This is not the end. This is not the end. This is not the end.



(Song by Ararat)

you dare to the banks

always like to sing in the youth worship of the Catholic community, which I visit regularly. Two days ago it was the subject of "vocation" - "Listen" ...



* * * * * * * * * * * *


you dare to the banks

You are the fire that burns
not the thorn bush.
You are the voice
which calls us by name.
You are the one who divided the sea and surrounding
protecting us. Our hope
wins in league with you.

Chorus:
Dare you to the banks, think of against the current,
break out of your cars, forgive without anger.
Go to God's footsteps, is start again.
Dare you to the banks, think of against the current.

You are the water that springs from the
the hard stone.
You are in bread and wine,
the power that penetrates us.
You are the one who breaks the chains of
raised us from death.
our faith with the covenant with you.

Refr.

You're the cloud,
which leads us through deserts.
You are the eternal, the
touches us in a dream.
You are the one that teaches love,
the spirit that guides us.
Our life is one in a bunch with you.

Refr.

Trust God To Do It His Way

Today's Word With Joel & Victoria Osteen

(2010-01-27)

Trust God To Do It His Way

Today's Scripture

"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts"
(Isaiah 55:9, NIV)



Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

Every person has things they're believing for, situations they want to see changed, and dreams God has placed in their hearts. But sometimes, we try to figure out how it's all going to happen. If we're not careful, we'll put God in a box and try to tell Him how to do it, when to do it, and where to do it. Today's scripture tells us that God's ways are not our ways. They are higher and better than our ways.

If you don't get your way, if things don't happen on your timetable, instead of getting discouraged, why don't you believe that God has something better in store? Just because it doesn't happen your way doesn't mean it's not going to happen. Remember, God has a plan. He's got it all figured out. Don't limit Him by trying to get it done your way. Instead, simply say, "God, I'm trusting You. I know You have my best interest at heart. And even if I don't get my way, I'm going to stay open and believe that You're still directing my steps into the abundant life You have for me."



A Prayer for Today

Heavenly Father, I choose to trust You. I cast my cares on You. I give You my plans, dreams, and desires for the future. Thank You for working behind the scenes on my behalf. Give me Your peace as I wait patiently to see Your plan unfold. In Jesus' Name. Amen.


(Joel & Victoria Osteen)

Today's Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen

Trust Him with Your Dreams

Today's Scripture

"I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives"
(John 12:24, NLT)



Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

It's good to be passionate about your dreams, but did you know a dream can become an idol? If that's all you think about and you're not going to be happy unless it happens your way, that's out of balance. The fact is, sometimes you have to put that dream on the altar.

Are you frustrated because you're trying to force things to happen on your timetable? Sometimes we hold on to things so tightly, but actually, when we let them go, that's when God can bring them to pass. If you'll release that frustration and not let it become the center of your attention, but instead use that same time and energy to thank God that He's directing your steps, you open the door for God to give you the desires of your heart.

We have to remember, God already knows what we want and what we are in need of. He's the One who put those desires in us. We shouldn't be consumed by trying to make things happen. Instead, a greater act of faith is to be happy right where you are; to stay open and trust God because He has good plans in store for your future!



A Prayer for Today

Father God, today I release my dreams, my desires, my "wants" like a seed falling to the ground. I know that You have a good plan for my future, and I trust You to bring it to pass in my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen.


(Joel & Victoria Osteen)

It's so easy to read... but yet in real life sometimes that hard.

We should trust in God, that He directs/changes our life in a way what is good for us. In His way, and not in the way which might find an idea or a plan in our head. We have to be patient, trusting, believing.

Oftentimes I'm doubtful about myself. What am I doing wrong? What's my problem? Why does it seem to be that difficult to lay everything down and just wait and trust? I try hard to don't suffer because of those circumstances which bother me. Feeling so helpless sometimes. Getting weaker and weaker. Seeing my health getting worse. It's hard to try to be strong all the time. It's like loosing the ground under my feet. Loosing myself.

But I wanna trust in You! Don't wanna live my life without You and Your guidance!
Please forgive me! ... my weakness, the moaning, doubts ...
