\"2013-10-01<\/a><\/strong>Was I alive today?<\/h3>\n

Yes!<\/p>\n

On the first day of the month, I always set aside a day for reflection, planning and prayer. This is very important to me as an anchor in my life. I often travel to Potsdam for this, spending my time in caf\u00e9s and in the Sanssouci Park.<\/p>\n

I was absolutely knackered this morning. A root canal treatment, 10 days of poor sleep due to lumbago, two sick colleagues in the team \u2013 which means more work for me \u2013 a few challenges on the boat\u2026 some worries about friends\u2026 it had all left me quite exhausted\u2026 so much so that I was also quite on edge emotionally.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, whilst I was praying, I felt that Jesus was saying to me \u201eGo and buy yourself something to wear today. It\u2019ll do you good!\u201c<\/em> A man who understands women! I\u2019m definitely not one of those women who\u2019s always out shopping. I actually find it rather tiring. But I love it when I find an item of clothing that really suits me. Apart from the clothes I won with a voucher, I haven\u2019t bought any clothes for ages \u2013 the money I have is currently going towards the boat. I really need it for that.<\/p>\n

Today \u2013 with this morning\u2019s inspiration still in the back of my mind \u2013 I spotted a dress in a shop as I was walking past that looked as if it had been made just for me. I went in and tried it on. I was right \u2013 it was exactly my style \u2013 as if it had been made just for me! And it was a bargain. 16 euros! What puzzled me was a slit running across the dress. It was only when the shop assistant explained that it was a nursing dress that I realised I\u2019d walked into a second-hand shop specialising in maternity and nursing wear. The slit is designed to give hungry babies quick access to the milk supply. The shop assistant had a sewing machine on the table and had just threaded it with the right colour thread\u2026 so I asked her to close up the nursing slit\u2026(I don\u2019t need that just yet\u2026.)\u2026 and now I have a perfect dress that I feel absolutely comfortable in. That really does me good. Jesus was right! That does me good!<\/p>\n

\"2013-10-01<\/a><\/p>\n

What new things have I discovered about life?<\/h3>\n

Design makes you happy and creative. In the shop, a woman was working on a lampshade. I was admiring her \u2013 and then she started to tell her story. \u201eI love this lamp because it has a very special story behind it. My grandparents lived in the former GDR, and my grandmother saw this lamp in a magazine and thought it was beautiful. (Which isn\u2019t to say you could actually find one anywhere under \u2018real existing socialism\u2019\u2026). One day, she and my grandfather went to buy a carpet for their flat. And in the shop\u2019s entrance hall stood the<\/em>\u00a0Lamp. They bought it.<\/p>\n

Well, they didn\u2019t have enough money left for the whole carpet. So they thought about which corners of the flat could manage without a carpet. And that\u2019s how it came to be that they didn\u2019t have a carpet under the built-in wardrobe or under the armchairs\u2026 but they did have the lamp!<\/p>\n

What new things have I discovered about myself?<\/h3>\n
\n

Over the last few years, I\u2019ve actually developed quite a good sense of what\u2019s good for me. I didn\u2019t really notice this before, but I\u2019ve been consciously practising it in recent years. And whether you believe that Jesus spoke directly to me (which I assume is the case \u2013 after all, we\u2019re friends) or that I simply sensed for myself what would do me good \u2013 the thought struck a chord with me. And it did me good.<\/p>\n

I could do with a good night\u2019s sleep now. Hopefully a long, uninterrupted and deep sleep.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
