Greetings!
Its Friday and I am not liking that today. In less then a week I will be returning home =[. I don't want to go, at the same time I do wish to go back.
Today I am traveling to Amsterdam, I will spend the day and the early afternoon with friends. I am going to visit the market and hopefully I have good weather so that I can walk the streets. At 6p.m. I am meeting with a colleague from the Foreign Affairs office. Many things are closed due to winter time, I thought I could go to the cheese city on Saturday but it is closed until February. So my sightseeing is limited and I need to get creative and make the best of the time I still have left.

The verse
Jesus Predicts His Betrayal
18 "I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture: 'He who shared my bread has turned[a] against me.'[b]
19 "I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am who I am. 20 Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me." 21 After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, "Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me."
John 13:18-21
Every end of year is time to do an inventory of events during the year. This year is no exception. Let us reflect on the great things and also on the ugly things we did, the hurt we caused, the things we kept in the darkness, those things that did not honor our Lord. We need to remember that we live by grace, we are all imperfect people living in a fallen. We also need to remember the many times we persevered and endured the hardships. Therefore we awe to be grateful, grateful for the strength, grateful for the support and communion with our Lord. Guilt is not from God, don't live with it. Through Christ we are free and because of him we can be forgiven when we are sorry for what we did. We aught to clean the mess we made. The consequences will come and we will have to get through them but we don't have to do that alone. Our Lord will see us through. Lets end this year as brave & courageous women and men of God.
