Always in hurry, always in rush. Lots of thing to do. All day out of home. Quick lunch or even not. Stress. Finally at home. Time to rest. But no more strength to read a book or to do something to yourself. Too late to go out for a supper? Fed up with everything? What’s more even if you have some free time for yourself you spend it for a silly things like watching tv or doing absolutely nothing?? I think I know it very well…

Since I’m in Greece I understood that I was making a huge mistake. I didn’t care for myself enough! I didn’t spend my free time in right way. Ok, not always, but mostly! I didn’t rest with God, ith is words. I also lost somewhere my dreams. I’m keeping them for the future. But why for future and not to make them come true right here, right now? (if it’s possible of course) My desires are always in me, but somewhere very deep, under daily problems and duties. Staying here helped me to see, that being involved in all that things that I love, I lost somewhere myself.

In two or three weeks I’m coming back to Poland. I’ll be back to my old duties, that I miss here. But in the same time I would like to remember, that I have to have also time for my own and for the Father above. To speak with Him and hear His voice, to stay with my thoughts, to do something just for myself (to read a favorite book, go for a walk, visit grandmother, etc.), to see my life from a different perspective, to see little things that are bringing a joy and smile. Time to time I need to stop for a while, to get strength, to do my best. I can not just give. I have to take as well.

Jesus also needed some time on his own. I believe that God doesn’t want to make us tired of things that we like to do. So let’s take care about ourselves, let’s let God to be fully involved in our life. Don’t be in hurry.

Wow! Such a long time I haven’t been here-sorry. Many things happend last time. It was realy hrd time for me, and actually still is But I do belive, that God will make everything just great! When  you are in troubles every little thing has a big meaning, every singel detail can make you nervous or smile for a while. This what helps me in hard times, beyond pray of course, is music. Song of Ray Charles “Hard times”, or Lizz Wright “Walk with me. Lord” are very precious for me. For these few minutes I’m out of the world. I close my eyes and falling into the music, music which is a prayer in the same time. Maybe you also has you own healling music?

This time I would like to share with you with my homework. No, I don’t want you to do it, not at all I’ve almost finished answering for a following question: Am I for or against marriage? It was the main subject of my modern greek lesson’s. In my group is many people from other countries in Europe. Unfortunately everyone could say that in last few years the number of “just married” came down, a lot! I think that’s very important question: why people don’t decide to get marry in church? Why they prefer to live together, sometimes even to have children but without marriage? It’s easier, right? But it’s much harder to go trought all bed days together. It’s harder to be in good, and a specially in bed times together. It’s easier to say: “sorry, I can’t stand it anymore”. That’s what I think, but let me know if I’m wrong. I’m not married, not yet.

You know what? I can even understand that someone chooses life without marriage, but when I think of it, it makes me sad. I really do believe that this wonderful relationship between men and a women, and fruit of their love, baby, comes from God. It’s gift from Him, love and baby. Sometimes we don’t see it, how precious it is. And we refuse these gifts ‘cause we want to live on our own. Why it happens? Why people divorce? Why they don’t want to get marry? Is it possible to change it somehow?

It’s hard and very huge subject. But maybe you would like to share with us with your experience and thoughts?

Do you know why some people are so intolerant? I’ll tell you why. They have no idea what are they talking about. They are afraid of things that they don’t know. What’s more, they hate them. It’s kind of protection. People feel fear so they attect “this thing”. I know that that it’s nothing new that I’m writing about, but last time I realize again that even small knowledge helps to understand different people, different cultures, religions and nations.

What I want to say finally is that education, work with kids and teeneagrs are very important. Workshops, films, discussions, etc, can make a great thing. When I was a kid I was attending in meetings with children from others churches and religions. Last half an year I was organizer of that kind of meetings. It’s such a great fun for me when I can see that kids want to learn by playing and that they remember so many things about others, and mostly they see more similar things  So if some of you have some possibilities to tell young people about others, don’t waste time-JUST DO IT! It’s very challenging but it gives satisfaction and happy.
