Here's a link to view the photos of the holiday I took in Hinterglimm, Austria; just copy and paste the address into your browser's navigation bar. It was a gorgeous place with hills full of edel weiss and music!

The Face of Love

I was listening to Sanctus Real's song The Face of Love tonight while e-mailing, and the words struck me again with their power and truth. It's a song that spoke volumes to me as I was preparing to move to Amsterdam, and listening to it again tonight I was reminded of their importance. Music has a way of speaking to me like nothing else can; I hope these lyrics speak to you, too!

I’ve seen your face on stained glass, in colored lights
In pictures of you looking to the sky
You've been portrayed a thousand different ways
But my heart can see you better than my eyes
‘Cause it’s love that paints the portrait of your life

The face of love
The face of love
You look more like love everyday

I’ve read your words in the pages of your life
And I’ve imagined what you were like
I may not know the shape of your face
But I can feel your heart changing mine
And your love still proves that you’re alive

You are the face that changed the whole world
No one too lost for you to love
No one too low for you to serve
So give us the grace to change the world
No one too lost for me to love
No one too low for me to serve

Let us see…
Let us be your face

This is my prayer--that I will indeed be His face in the District. And especially that it's not my incomplete, imperfect love that's seen, but Christ's complete, perfect love.

Amsterdam at Night

Amsterdam is one beautiful city at night. I love to walk on the brick streets at night and watch the way the lights reflect on the waters of the canals. I took this photo on my way to a cafe to read; it's taken on my favorite bridge in the city.

I took these photos one night when some friends and I went on a boat ride through the canals. The city's beautiful when seen from the water, too!
