But even the sun sets in paradise…

2012

I entered the year with a broken heart (not just two pieces… more like a thousand... really) but found the One who heals hearts (He found me ;))

I moved in and lived for 8 months with the Van Vreckom – Baarsen family! And I learned and loved soooo much!

I started cooking for a family of 10… ;)

I had long hikes and cycling trips with my (sleeping) ladies <3 o:p="">

In the meanwhile I did a postgraduate North – South

Rachel (the cuteness herself) began to say me name ´Palin´

I didn’t got my driver license (YET! Let’s give 2013 a try hahahaha)

I took contemporary dance classes

I cried 7 swimming pools together

I joined the worship team @Every Nation Gent

I started ´Start to run´ with Evy Gruyaert

I could laugh again

I got to know a lot of new, amazing people!

I travelled to my beloved Paraguay (again) with the intention to stay 1 month, but now it are 8 already…

I am in love

Fruitful year.

It’s not a sad post, it’s a happy story…  =) because after sunsets come sunrises… always…

And sometimes the hard times are the times you learn the most in life… The most fruitful…

Some of the most beautiful things here are the sunsets and sunrises… It makes you feel little and realize that God is so much bigger than what we can imagine…

I love mornings in Asunción. Waking up, Michi following me all around the house happy as a little dog to see me after lots of ´nonis´, cold showers, getting ready like crazy because I’m getting late at the office (again), saying Debs ´Chau! Que tengas un lindo día!´, getting of the ´crazy stairs´ without breaking my legs =/, dreaming away on a Paraguayan bus (5 minutes like a sardine and than it feels like they open the can… hahahaha), stop dreaming and getting of the bus on time, hot coffee, reading the news, getting FB-up to date and to work! =) My PY mornings are just awesome! 

Next time more about Paraguayan buses ;) no need for amusement parks here!

Love & besos!

Palin

And I have this song hopping through my head these days… =)
