Tomorrow I am gonna start to learn language number 6.
This far I've learned German, English, French, Italian and ancient Greek.
Tomorrow I am gonna begin to learn Hebrew!!!
I think this is pretty awesome - being able to speak 6 languages in the end. Though, I am also pretty excited and kind of scared.
What if I am not good at it? What if I don't get it? What if it doesn't make sense to me? What if I fail????
All those questions keep spinning 'round in my mind, making me wonder and almost freak out.
I want to be good at it. I want to understand it. I want to pass it.
So, it sounds like there is a big mountain to climb, a big task to manage. A task I am looking forward to, but am also scared of.
I am going to have 8 hours of Hebrew class a week and a lot more to do afterwards!
If you want, please keep me in your prayers with this. I would definitely appreciate it. =)
Let's rock this semester!!!!

redeeming love
I finally finished my next book and I must say it is one of the greatest I've ever read.
Two nights ago I couldn't sleep at all and just took the book and read the whole night. I could not lay it down.
The book is called 'Redeeming Love' and it is written by 'Francine Rivers'. She is such a good writer!
Redeeming Love is a novel, based on the story of Hosea from the Bible (if you have a chance, read it. Definitely!).
The main character of the book is Sarah, a young prostitute who was sold into prostitution at the age of 8 years. She went through a lot of horrible experiences which shaped her and made her become a woman who is wanted by all men for her beauty but bitter on the inside. Sarah shuts off all her emotions which makes her appear cold and snobbish and she judges everyone and never trusts.
One day Michael Hosea, a farmer who also is a strong believer in Christ, comes to the town Sarah works as a prostitute in and as soon as he sees Sarah while she is going for a walk, he hears God telling him he should marry her.
The whole story begins....
The whole plot takes place in the 19th century and it includes all kinds of emotions: sadness, rejection, hopelessness, anger, attraction, love, surrender, fear, hatred....... and so on.
Sarah has to deal with her past which always haunts her, especially when things seem to go well. Her journey through life, her thoughts and emotions described in the book make her become so real. You just wanna get to her and hug her, hold her and tell her it's gonna be okay.
Michael Hosea represents the image of Jesus. He shows Sarah love, although she cannot bear it. He forgives her several times, although she cannot believe it. He saves her in many ways a human being can be saved and he tries to lead her to God, the one and only who has the power to heal.
I am not gonna say more about the novel although I would really love to. But since I do recommend it and really wish you would read it I will stop here.
All I wanna say now is: read Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers.
It is definitely one of the best books ever and I can admit that I've never ever cried like that because of a book in my entire life before. And I've read a lot of books this far.
I hope I could arouse your interest in this novel and made you curious about it.
If you happen to read it, I would really like to hear what you think. So please write me a comment here if you like.
