LOVE.

We often tend to forget what 'LOVE' really means nowadays. It is not about the superficial and material things. It is about the little things that bring joy to our lives. The world could be such a better place if we only sometimes have the eyes and minds of a child.

What Love means to a 4-8 year old

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, ’What does love mean?’ The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined 

See what you think:

‘When my grandmother got arthritis , she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore.. So my grandfather does it for her all the time , even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.’ – Rebecca, age 8 

‘When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.’ – Billy, age 4 

RANDOMNESS.

LENT '13

Picture: http://a-wrinkle-intime.tumblr.com/ 

Lent came in pretty early this year and in that sense also very quickly. Lent for me has a much deeper meaning this year. Of course, I used to fast certain things but I never really understood the reason to fast sweets and candies or my usual TV Shows and stuff. However, this year, I decided to fast something that is very very dear to my heart. We know lent as a season to abstain from things that keep us further away from God but also further away from ourselves. A lot of people around me have realised that this lenten season can be used to go deeper in ourselves and try to know oneself much better. Of course, in order to carry this out properly the help of God is required. Nevertheless, for my part I have combined these things with thanksgiving. These past weeks I felt so blessed and I just thought that through sacrificing something that I love, just shows that I truly want to thank God for each and every blessing. Also, I use this season not only to go deeper in knowing myself but also try not to be dependent on perishable and fleeting things. Because what I have learnt is that when you fully rely on God, amazing things can happen. Now I have decided to deepen my relationship with Him and learn to fully trust Him with His plans for me because when there are times that I do not feel secure, safe or happy, I know that these things are just temporary things because I believe that He has a greater plan for me. Hence, with that growth in the relationship with me and Him, I know that every other relationship in my life can grow as well. Now I believe that keeping Him in the center of everything, will bring greater things. And since it is the year of faith, anything can happen.

EYC PLANNING '13

The start in February was one good one! We had the EYC Planning here in Vienna and besides feeling honoured being part of the Service Team, I am also very excited for the Congress itself. From what I can tell, it is going to be quite different yet familiar this year and I cannot wait for you guys to be part of it. During the Planning I also got to spend some time with ze Bubi which was a lot of fun. Especially when no-one understood our sense of humour - oh well, weird couple. Even though the Planning was stressful enough, I had to pull all-nighters during that weekend to be able to finish my semester paper. It all paid off since I've got a good grade on it. The weekend was very intense and very productive, but with all the hard work we also shared a lot of laughs. I am glad to be part of a team that is determined to make this event a great one. Each person inspired me in so many ways which makes me so proud to know them. We the foundation, we a family :)

 No worries, during all that...

 nonsense, we actually...

got to conclusions!

HI FEBRUARY, BYE BYE JANUARY :)

Hello my dear Readers! I am back! I was shut out from my social life for a month due to exams but now I am back, aca-bitches (too much pitch perfect in my jargon now!). It has been a crazy month and I passed all my exams which I am super stoked about. You can see how glad I am being off the studyranger mode now! January was some very busy month and I just cannot wait for February and the busyness to continue in His glory!

Have a great day, everybody :)
