Language lesson number 2! I have a trainer for my bike so on those freezing Swiss wintery days I can ride in my livingroom/kitchen/office, and watch the latest episode of Bones while I ride.. Well I thought that I had tightened it properly but mid workout it came undone and I was on the ground-- My back wheel has a bit of a problem now -- wishing I could just run it to my brother's I make my plan to take it to the local bike shop. I have been there once before and they don't speak English. This time I decide I'm going to come prepared. So today at church one of my sweet young girls helped me write a note-- asking for them to repair my bike... German is still just a mystery to me and I sit there in awe as Stephanie jots down my hall pass hoping that this plan works. I'm picturing myself walking in with a note pinned to my shirt---- oh how I wish I knew German! Language is a miracle......
I loved this image of Steph helping me with my German language and then a few minutes later we are guiding each other to deepen our spiritual language--
Hoping that actually the limitless of divine language brings possibilities to my world-- a language that encourages me to be more, knowing that without language from above I would pass it by. A leap of faith... Remembering leaps I have taken followed by moments of sitting on the first step in tears then with Grace and peace I find my way-- discovering the sweetness and joy that abounds by the miracle of language--
Still have a phrase from London stuck in my head, "Keep calm and carry on!" Easier said than done but I'll give it a go.
