Descending Colon Obstruction

What do you want?

On Sunday we had church service students in Tübingen again "closing time" where I play in the band. The band leader asked me what I expect for the second trip to South Africa and hope. This is really an interesting question that I was busy the day after that ever again. So thank you, Robert, for the kickoff! =)

I do not think I comes to experience again a new, crass adventure. This is eh not my type, just looking for a new thrill and adrenaline rush and the need to have again and again. It will happen definitely new and I'm excited, but it is certainly much to be known. So it is not 100% new territory and adventure, which I'm not unhappy.

My head tells me that I do not expect that everything will be like a year ago, when I left the country. Because we can not. Many people have gone to have stayed there a year behind them, where changes and improvements are happening. I'm not remained the same.
But only now my heart is probably also noticed and that makes one a sinking feeling in the stomach. The farm will look different, I will not sleep in the same bed, the children are bigger, the cars are different, the staff are others ...
I can not change it, but that would be nice sometimes. Just back in time, anything you again do without the thought, again in two months to say goodbye. It is challenging and shame to the same. But also rewarding. For it may indeed have slightly changed for the better, the year was not only peace-joy-riding day. And if I do not like something, I know that I will not be a year there, but only two months. And not long term, but visiting supporter.

target free me now or take the more afraid? I do not know!
My head is well-formulated expectations and many of them will come true probably are, but what my heart says I must first find out more ...

Error During Initialization

flap, the Second!

After a few busy weeks again an update: Since I had had more courses this semester, it meant even more work and just the last few weeks, densely packed with exams, papers and stress. Faster than expected already passed the second semester, and since Friday I have holidays! The
will be filled on the one hand with homework, but also with many nice ...


When I had last year taken leave from Light House, a desire arose to come again. In the final interview with the WEC did then to the possibility of being able to walk again. For me, this opportunity was rather surprising, and I am very grateful that it is now time and money but works (because you are not completely innocent! J ).
And so I will soon be taking on Jul 28, again the plane south to again help for two months in the Lighthouse Project. It has changed a lot there and I am very excited at seeing the work and the people! A special gift for me is that I will not be alone. For a month will be Andrea, who at that time was already there. Second, my family has realized the crazy idea to fly with them for two weeks and we can tour the beautiful country together! I'm glad scary!

Unfortunately, the preparation a bit stressful, because I think his way into the next semester and must still present a bit of paperwork. But the anticipation is there and is growing day by day. Still can not believe it!
I'll try to keep the blog more recently, so you can be there at the second Africa adventure. Looking forward, if you are in my thoughts and prayers with you!
