booths.

these are some photos from spain, one with statue i am in madrid. last is a night out doing evo.. in a bar. we found this guy from star wars.. lol. i really really loved the RED PHONE BOOTHS. they are everywhere in europe. north and south. except this one the phones disappeared. we are in gibraltor-english colony. yet connected to spain. basically its own country. i was burning up in my outfit. thought it wsa goin to be hot that day. turned out i was wrong. :)

adapting..

well. i have made it back to perth. spent some wonderful time in northern ireland. meeting god there. seeing his treasures in the youth group we spent most of our time with. loves.

was blessed in rome. two day layover. saw god. yet the people there have missed it all.. so much history. so many tourists without a clue why someone like peter was killed. yet my heart cried out for them. felt god's presence in the midst of it all and am satisfied. with where i am. who i am. who he is creating me to be... learning how to REALLY LIVE IN EACH MOMENT. TO BE CONTENT IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE. (PHIL. 4:11-13) as paul puts it. how to relax. enjoy the thigns and people around me rather than longing for the next thing. the next place.

so. i am here. spring is arriving in AUS. have somewhat of an idea of what i will be doing next... serving in two different ministries. taking steps of faith. sharpening the tools he hasgiven me. sorry no photos yet... :) loves. to all. kath

get this...

so. classic. my team and i were out worshipping on the beach yesterday.. praying for people to talk to... or people to just walk up to us.

a few of us were about to head into the water when this kid walks up to us and asks us for a smoke. well. since we didnt have any. he was confused. asked my leader if he had a gf. was married... yada yada yada. i was just sitting there.. smiling. listening and trying to translate for the others.. when i heard him ask my leader if I had un novio... (a boyfriend) so i got up... decided to change and get in the water in my sweet loooooooong black tank top. that covers my bathers. well.. he kept standing there... looked out into the water at one point and waved for me to come in... i didnt. my leader tapped him on the back of the head and pointed down the beach. goodbye boy.

lol. i found out that he kept asking if he could meet my parents... why they werent there with me... oh. it was funny. then later we had some good convos with diff. folk. for some reason. here in spain when you approach people to say hello... or wave or even smile... they are quite shocked!!! and always seem to be asking me if i am morman or a jehovah's witness... lol. i always assure them that i am not...

life here in malaga is wonderful. god is moving. i fell back in love with him today. may sound weird. but it is true... felt great. being in his presence. listening to his soft whispers of encouragement and love. it was as if he was in the room... was brushing the hair out of my face... saying " katherine, i love you. want you to love me today. love me in this moment. love me with everything that you are. dont worry about tomorrow. how you will love me then. but look to me now. love on me."

psalm. 33:11... talks about how the purposes of god's heart will go from generation to generation.. isnt it cool how one of his purposes is to love us. love us unconditionally. everyday. every moment. in every instant. he loves. and he will never stop loving. he is a great dad. friend. caretaker. provider. protector. so faithful. real. ahh... i love him. :)
