His creation
Since I got home, I tried to keep myself busy with things (as much as that's possible with having almost nothing to do).
I've been watching one TV show called Lie To Me. It's about a group of scientists who examine people's faces to figure out if they're lying or not.
As I'm watching this, I started thinking how awesome it is that God created us with so many emotions and so many face mimics that show our emotions. If we're mad, sad, happy, joyful, proud, violent, ashamed or if we're hidding something... it's written on our face. How awesome is that? It's true that it's sometimes really hard to read someone's face and figure out what they're thinking or going through, but some are just very obvious and hard to hide.
How did God create humans in such an amazing and complicated way? He gave us brains, bodies... do you ever wonder or think about how complicated our body system is? How could that just happen?
I'm always amazed at the creation of our God.

My Jesus, my life!
When a person decides to fully follow Jesus, to give Jesus his life, the whole hell will come against him.
Satan tempts, tries to stop that person by giving them sickness, doubts, Satan attacks that person spiritually... just so they would give up and be defeated.
What is that person's comfort? Jesus.
Jesus is the only way, the truth and the life.
Jesus is the living Son of God.
Jesus is the Lord. Our Lord.
Jesus is the Almighty one!
Jesus is our Savior!
Jesus is in control over everything!
Jesus is Sovereign!
Jesus is a jealous God!
Jesus loves us!
Jesus is our hope!
Jesus is our peace!
Jesus is the ultimate Healer!
Jesus is our Provider!
Jesus is the Holy of hosts!
Jesus is God!
Jesus is the bread of life!
In Jesus is the eternal life!
Jesus is our best friend!
Jesus is our everything!
Life can be very hard, with or without Jesus. But with Jesus there is hope, peace, comfort, and eternal life. Life with Jesus is so much better than any different kind of life.

Home, sweet home
I've been home for 3 full days now and I must say it feels good. I love being somewhere I know the culture, the streets, where I have my own bed and almost my own room. Freedom! :)
It's also hard to be home. There's no Christian bubble and it's up to me how I spend my days. I love it that our college group here is reading through the Bible and that I was able to jump right in with them. We read approx. 2 books per week and then meet once a week to talk about them. I went on Tuesday for the first time and I loved it! God is taking care of me!
He's also doing something but I don't exactly know what it is. I've been thinking of maybe going to the States for a month or two since I have no obligations here yet (no school or job...) but I'm not sure that's what He has in mind. We'll see. I applied for a job in preschool today since it just happened that there were 2 open spots for preschool teachers. Is it God opening doors or just a coincidence? Will I even get the job? We'll see. My time here really is in His hands now and I'm open for whatever He has for me.
There's also a lot going on at home... and we'll see what will happen. I can see God working and allowing things that aren't necessarily good in our eyes but we can't see His plan. I trust He knows what He's doing and I pray He'll make all things work together for our good. Would you pray with me that I would continue completely trusting Him and having faith in Him, and that whatever happens, He will be glorified? Would you also pray for salvation of my family? They need Jesus, His hope and peace.
I thank you all for support and prayers in my transition. It really means a lot and it makes it all easier.

It's not a "goodbye"; it's a "see you later".
Tomorrow is the last day before my journey of Bible College finishes.
I’ve been here for a year and a half and it’s basically been the beginning of my walk with the Lord; the summer before my first semester was a preparation for it.
I’ve experienced many tough, hard, sad and extreme moments here, and many many happy, joyful, exciting and blessed ones as well. I’ve met people that became some of my closest friends and went through a lot with me. I’ve learned lessons I wouldn’t learn at home.
God’s been such a good Teacher and He’s lead me gently and sometimes harshly; whatever He knew was best for me. But He never stopped loving me, no matter what. The way He revealed Himself to me in the past year and a half was unbelievable. I experienced God as my Father, my Teacher, my Best Friend and my Husband. He’s been faithful to me and He never let me go. The best thing about it is that this is only the beginning of my journey with my God; and it’s still the beginning of my walk with Him.
Going home is one of the hardest things right now; not because I wouldn’t want to go home – I can’t wait to be with my family and friends, to have my own bed again, to live in a city that I know – but Vajta has become my home and it’ll always be my home in a way. It’s just hard to move on but changes are necessary AND good.

Latest events
3 of my good friends from school and me decided to go to Slovenia for a weekend. All of them have been before; 2 on a 10.day outreach last semester, one was at Bled and around but never in Ljubljana. Well, none of them have ever been to the seaside.
We went to Piran! It's my favorite town in Slovenia and Jesus gave us beautiful weather! We thought of meeting with people on Sunday morning but we ended up spending time with my parents which was very good.
Some insights…
Fitness on the road
:)
In Ljubljana, and playing Rummy Q with my mom
My family invited us to eat dinner out with them
Piran!
We went up the tower - some enjoyed more than others... (I'm afraid of heights)
Enjoying the beautiful day
Amazing sunset!
Dinner in Piran and morning with my parents

We just finished Speakers' week and we have 3 weeks of school before us. God's so faithful to speak and it's been amazing. Of course it's been – we're hearing 3 very good sermons per day and we have worship before each of them :)
I'm excited about December, going home, but it's also scary because I know I'm not returning to College, at least not now. It's been my spiritual home for a year and a half and it's going to be hard to leave this bubble and go into the real world. That's what I desire, though. To go out and be a light for Him, wherever He'll take me.
