Some photos from Batt 18

 The "Villa" type house with 6 flats(apartments) Mine is top floor, 2 windows on the right, almost to the back of the house.
 The very large front door. It also has a HUGE key. After you ring the bell you must wait for me to come down the stairs to let you in.
 The outside balcony leading to my apartment. The balcony is across the entire back of the house. I am the only one with direct access but I share with my neighbor.
 A closer look at my unusual front door. I can open the windows behind the scroll work to get a spring breeze.
 My beautiful front windows, the two I pointed out to you in the first photo.  I have an aversion to curtains and when I first bought the flat, I "papered" the windows with a very cool paper that you couldn't quite see through but it let the light in and it had gold lined leaves on it.
Then a missionary couple serving in Scotland came and the wife showed me how to make a stained glass affect on my windows. She had a book of patterns and I chose this. It is actually painted with various whites on white. The faint lines you see is actual "leading" that had a sticky side for adhering.  I had finished all but a partial pane and ran out of the leading. Can you imagine this, on a trip that fall I found the exact leading I needed at a paint shop in New Hampshire! They had only one roll left and it had to be dusted off it was so old but it matched perfectly!! God is so good...ALL the time.  It is hard with a photo to see how beautiful these windows really are.....I guess you would need to do that.. in person :-)

July 2019 Update One of the high points of summer is always our 8 day long church camp. Amazingly, this was my 5th camp!  Our guests this year were good friends, Pastor Wayne and Sherry Sanders from Chardon, OH and Paul Richards from Melbourne, Australia.  Every camp is special and God never fails to bring us the exact ministry, prophetic words and teachings we need! We love these ministers who partner with us for destiny!

The turning of a page....

Image
Don't you just love opening a brand new beautiful and colorful notebook, grabbing your favorite pen and deciding what to write on that clean, white page? Or do you hesitate, wondering what if you mess the page up, or your ink runs out or you misspell something or you spill coffee on it???  Sometimes that first word, on the first page is the hardest.  BUT go for it!!! Jump right in! It's a brand new day, a brand new month and time's a wasting!!! I woke up this morning after a great night's sleep, ( which is somewhat rare) Remembered a dream I had (sometimes happens)...in which I Spoke a sentence in Polish and it seemed correct (and short :-) (an absolute first!) I realized then it was August first and I could turn the page on my calendar!! and in that small act of turning a page, I sensed a shift, a much bigger SHIFT. Suddenly, anything was possible, everything was possible!!! Everything was new,  new mercies, new grace, new favor, a new start, new creative ideas

Will you put your shoes in the window sill tonight?

Most Westerners are surprised to learn that in Hungary, Santa Claus is not really a feature of Christmas proper. Althought the red suited one is a familiar figure to Hungarian children, he takes a back seat to the gift bearing Christ child and his angels on Christmas eve. Indeed, old St Nick is relegated to the early part of December, coming around Hungarian houses only on Mikulas eve. Tonight, December 5, Hungarian children place their shoes on the window sill before going to bed. During the night, the kindly old Saint Mikulas fills their shoes with candy. While this sounds familiar, Mikulas differs markedly from his Western counterpart in that he is helped by a dark side-kick, Krampusz. Krampusz is a horned devil who puts a switch into the shoes of naughty children instead of candy! But this seems to be a very rare occurrence. Indeed, if kids ever get a switch from Krampusz it is spray painted gold and placed among the candy. Chocolates abound on Mikulas day, the most popular being s
