ein Wunder!...a miracle!!!!

Ist Januar 21. an ein Datum, das ich mich immer erinnere!...The 21st of January will be a date I will always remember!

My best friend (naomi o!) in the whole world is a Chaplin daughter so they have to move every 2 years =[ but God heard our prayers...THEY'RE NOT MOVING!!! I am just about the happiest person ever! I was sooooo sad I was going to loose my best friend at the end of the school year, but now we can still hang out all the time =]]] She'll be able to graduate from Open Bible too, she's sooo happy about that!
Oh my goodness I dont know what to write but THANK YOU JESUS!!! He heard all those times I prayed that they wouldn't have to move and all those times I cried when I remembered that I would probably loose the best friend I have ever had! God knew, he KNEW how much i wanted her to stay, and he knew I didnt want to loose the closest friend I've ever had.
All today and last night I have just wanted to scream, cuz for one my BFFL isn't moving and another that my God heard me and when I cried out to Him and he answered my prayers!! mmm...I know everytime I hang out with Nomes now, i'll thank God for her! and every time she's there for me and encourages me and helps me through the tough times, I will be praising God that He has given me a friend like her!!! =]]] My new favorite bible verse is:
"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls for he has no one to help him up."
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
A friend (especially a best friend) inspires you and encourages you to do more! And I know from being best friends with Nomes that she has encouraged me in the Lord soooo much, and I wouldn't be where I am now if God didnt put her in my life!
Ein was für Geschenk vom Gott zum Haben einen Freund, der Sie durch die stark Zeiten anregen und Sie an die Freude am Lord in den guten erinnern kann!!! What a gift from God to have a friend that can encourage you through the tough times and remind you of the joy of the Lord in the good ones =]
Thanks Naomi.. my sister in Christ =]

Ich hoffe und bete, dass Sie einen gesegneten Tag haben!...I hope and pray that you have a blessed day!

großer Geburtstag! (great birthday!)...

der beste Geburtstag überhaupt! (the best birthday ever!)
I could tell you so much about my birthday and how amazing it was and how much I am thankful for my friends and family (which I am!)! But first I want to tell you two blessings that happened =] The first may not seem big but it opened my eyes to see that God really does hear my prayers! For a while now I have been hoping and praying that I would be able to go to Mexico and see my Light-Shine girl Diana. I still didn't know if God really wanted me to go even though its my hearts desire! I also was worried because if God did want me to go but what if I didn't have enough money. So I have been praying about it a lot lately, and on my birthday I received money from some of my friends and family! And at that moment when I opened it I didn't jump up and down but in my heart I was rejoicing! I rejoicing because I knew this was God saying "Hannah, take this money and use it to see Diana, I want you to go, I am giving this to you to show you I hear your prayers and know your hearts desires!" I knew at that moment that any doubt I had about this before was gone because my God has made a way! I realized our God isn't One who sits back and watches us but He gets involved and reveals Himself to us! Amazing! My second one isn't big either but I was just as amazed! My dad got me a German/English Bible for me for my birthday, and as you can probably tell I was just out of my mind happy!!! But that night when I was reading it (in German =]]) I realized that this Holy Book from God I was reading wasn't just made for me, or my family, or town, or state, or even just for America. The Bible was made for EVERYONE! So that everyone could know God and read His word. It was made for people in Germany, in Africa, in Russia, in China and every living breathing person! I had always known the bible was for everyone but at that moment I "knew", Jesus isn't just for me, He came for every human being on this spinning planet we live on! It almost brought me to tears when I realized that not every person had a bible, or has heard of Jesus, and knows Him like I do! It made me want to go somewhere, where no one knows Him and just share with them everything I know of Jesus! Now when I read my German/English Bible I get so excited because I want to tell others of Jesus, and I know that God will put me somewhere where I will have the opportunity to share...it may not be in Germany (=]) but it will be where God wants me, and that's just fine with me =]] So remember tonight or when ever you read your bible, 1st- its words straight from God's mouth to you, He's talking to you! and 2nd- remember and pray for those who are able or who aren't able to read the bible also! Many people aren't as blessed as we are, to know God like we do!...don't take advantage of that. ---Erinnern Sie sich, wem lebten für und an warum wir hier waren! (Remember who were living for and why we are here!) Mögen Sie einen gesegneten Tag in Christ haben! (May you have a blessed day in Christ!)

how He loves and gives us joy...

zutreffende Freude (true joy)
As much as people (including myself =]) try to have joy in this world and the things of it sometimes, it's impossible to have joy without being centered on Christ! Only by God's grace and praising Him no matter what happens...that's when joy kicks in. You don't always see it when you're comfortable and don't you think you "need" Him or that's what you think. By suffering and seeing God is the only answer, that's when joy comes in. You know and see that, you could fail in life, loose everything, or anything else, and God will still love you! Many times I "think" I am loosing something but I am gaining everything that I truly want and need by falling back on Him and trusting Him with it! I can say from deep in my heart that God has been there...always been there! I run from Him, I get mad at Him, I ignore Him...but no matter what He draw's me back to Himself. It still amazes that He loves me...and I sometimes ask myself why, but I just look to the cross and it hits me like a baseball flying in from the outfield...WOW, He loves me =]]] Oh, wie Er uns liebt! (Oh how He loves us!) Sehen Sie und werden heute gesegnet Sie durch, wie viel er Sie liebt! (See and be blessed today by how much He loves you!) ***I was trying hard to upload a song from my iTunes for you but it failed :/So I will just give you the link of the youtube version with words and all if you would like to hear the song! I strongly encouarage you to listen to it! It's called 'How He loves' by David Crowder. It is one of my favorite songs and most always brings tears to my eyes! May you be blessed by it too!

stark studieren…studying hard...

das Lernen kann Spaß sein! (learning can be fun!)

I've noticed lately that I am starting to like school...not that I didn't before but now I am looking forward to it everyday and I can't wait till college where I can study the things I love! I have been thinking a lot lately of what I want to be "when I grow up"... and as funny as it sounds...I think it would really cool if I could be a German Professor! For most of my life I've wanted to be and nurse and I think I still do, but lately I've been soooo interested in studying German and getting to know the language and culture better that maybe God is starting to spark something new in me...maybe He wants me to be a Professor instead of a nurse. I don't know for sure, it might just be a phase or something but I have been praying and thinking about it a lot. So I guess time will tell =]] Auf Wiedersehen fürs Erste! (goodbye for now!) Gott segnen und haben einen wundervollen Tag! (God Bless and have a wonderful day!!!) Love you all! =]]]] by the way...this is a picture of the German Alps!

Sunday praises...

Kinder sind ein Segen!!! (which is translated 'children are a blessing!!!')

Along with having the pleasure of doing worship with my friends for my church, I got to do children's church with my brother...and it was awesome! For some reason seeing children and watching them singing children's praise songs and listen to bible stories, makes me want to praise Jesus even more! I'm not even 16 and I already see what a great blessing kids are! I pray one day that I'll have the blessing of having children of my own...don't worry, it's still a far way off =]]] Well I just wanted to post that and remind everyone that life is too short to take for granted, and too precious to not play and smile at you're kids every chance you have =]]] weg fürs Erste unterzeichnen...Gott segnen!!! (signing off for now...God bless)

a new start...

Grußfreunde (greeting's friends)~


As you can already tell...I don't always write in English =] I am learning Deutsch (German) right now and loving it! I thought it would be really cool if I created a blog and wrote my thoughts down in English and German =] ... it sounds like fun to me! So here go's nothing...
