Did you miss me? - Isaiah 40:31

Shalom dear one, let me continue to write you and tell you what's going on in my life and what's happening with me.

Isaiah 40:31
But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

Yes, I am waiting and hoping.
I need some papers; probably a stamp in order to return to put my arms around my people. To give a hand. To clean a house, a toilet, do some shopping. To sit at a hospitalbedside of a sick lady with 7 children. To be a light to people I mostly can't communicate with other than showing that light around; just the way I am. They are not just people. They are my family.

I am waiting and hoping.

I just cried my eyes out. Don't know exactly why and what, but I had the honor of sowing some tears and my prayer is to reap the harvest soon. My prayer is to return soon. Amen

Psalm 126:5-6
Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in Joy.
She who continually goes forth weeping,
Bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
Bringing their sheaves with her.

This winter here in Holland has been a quite depressing one. I felt so desperate at times, that I didn't do much. That's the reason i didn't wrote too much the past few months, because of feeling so dull and moody, what could I write about to cheer you up with? I didn't even wanted to write, other then emails to some dear friends ( - yes, you know who you are!)

And it was so cold here. Freezing cold. How do you think I felt after having lived for 6 months in a sauna? I was sick, had colds, sneezed, had a cough, earaches and suffered the most from many migraines. Incredible. I didn't had them in months. And all the time I was still waiting and hoping.

When I returned here, I had a room mate. But suddenly she moved out, almost 2 weeks ago. It was somewhat nice to have company and felt a sheer shock entering my life once she suddenly was gone! Without much explanation. But i guess, the LORD knows best. And Adonai may bless her. Its a new situation in which He will help me to survive, mostly financially. I trust Him on that. Our God is an awesome God. Amen

Because of this waiting, I experienced a few tough attacks too: on my faith, mainly. Why would it take so long? Is God still requiring from me what He needs me for? I can tell you, dear one: at times I am completely through... and yet: I can't live without having and keeping the hope. Hatikvah. So, I decided about a month ago that I should join the worship team again. Praising, worshiping and honoring the Holy One of Israel is such a blessing. And it keeps me away from fretting, from sitting in my self-pit, mourning over the fact that I miss everyone so much.

It will be more then a blessing for me when you could pray for me and for my vocation. Ask the LORD to open that door and bless all the people and their loved ones involved in that process in abundance. We know that our Living God is a God of miracles and will keep His promises. Please pray that I will be continuously in the Center of His Will.

Thank you so much for taking part in my Ministry and for waiting and hoping with me. I love you very much.

His Shalom & Blessings for all of you,

Josetta
