A Christmas Greeting from the White House

What a great Decleration of Our Lord, He alone is the Lord, May our Nation Return to thier foundation that we are "One Nation Under God"
May He remain in your hearts and thoughts the Reason for the Season, Without Him we are nothing, Without the Lord we are not living we are only existing. May we arise and declare to those around us that He alone is the Lord and Worship Him alone.

Frohe Weihnachten – Merry Christmas 2007

Frohe Weihnachten – Merry Christmas 2007

We would like to wish all of you a beautiful Christmas Season and Holidays. Would we all reflect the reason for Christmas and find peace in this time. May God bless you and protect you, we miss you all yet feel connected with you. Our thoughts and love are with you all.

We are doing well, this year has gone by very fast and we are in awe of what God did in and through us. Excitement and joy fill us as we look ahead into the New Year and we trust in God to lead and guide us.

Levi and Luca are looking forward to setting up the Christmas tree! So far we only have the Advent wreath up. Both of the boys are doing great. Levi is in second grade of elementary school and loves to learn, write and read. He loves swimming and earned his „sea horse“ patch. Luca is a „big boy“now in pre-school, this is his last year there before he goes into first grade. He still plays a lot and enjoys the carefree life of a five year old.

Josiah and I remain busy at church and several „side jobs“like baby sitting, cleaning and kitchen shows. We had a good year where we grew closer together in our love. Through the trials we stuck together and knitted ourselves tight with the Lord.

We are worshipping and praising God for everything! THANK YOU for your prayers and support.

Much Love & Greetings, The Four Harts: Josiah, Anja, Levi & Luca


Frohe Weihnachten – Merry Christmas 2007

Wir möchten Euch allen eine wunderschöne Advents- und Weihnachtszeit wünschen in welcher Ihr alle neu reflektieren und besinnen könnt.

Möge Gott Euch segnen und beschützen, wir denken an Euch und fühlen uns mit Euch allen verbunden.

Es geht uns gut, dieses Jahr ging sehr schnell vorbei und wir staunen über alles was Gott in uns und mit uns gemacht hat. Voller Spannung und Erwartung schauen wir in das Neue Jahr und vertrauen Gott dass Er uns führt und leitet.

Levi und Luca freuen sich auf den Weihnachtsbaum! Es geht beiden sehr gut. Levi ist in der zweiten Klasse und genießt es zu lernen, schreiben und rechnen. Er hat sein Seepferdchen-Abzeichen gemacht und liebt es zu schwimmen. Luca ist nun ein Großer im Kindergarten und genießt seine Freiheit um viel zu spielen, er wird dann im Sommer eingeschult.

Josiah und ich sind weiterhin viel in der Gemeinde beschäftigt und mit diversen Nebenjobs (Babysitten, Putzen, Koch-Shows…). Wir haben ein sehr gutes Jahr hinter uns, sind enger zueinander gewachsen und haben durch die schwierigen Zeiten zusammengehalten und uns zusammen an Gott geklammert.

Wir wollen Gott für alles loben und preisen! DANKE für Eure Gebete und Unterstützung.

Alles Liebe und Gute, The Four Harts: Josiah, Anja, Levi & Luca

My Visa

Well, I wanted quickly to thank all of those praying for my visa status, In October my visa expired and I was trying to recieve my permanent residance status here in Germany, I did not recieve it, I was there at the Goverment office today and found out. The reason, I don't make enough money no worries this does not mean that I have to leave, They can't get rid of me that easy :)
I was given instead with no problem a 3 year extension to my visa so I am fine for another 3 years and if at any time during these 3 years my finacial status changes and I make more money I could return to the office and apply for my permanent residance status.
A very special thanks to all those escpecially Cindy at Calvary Chino Hills who has helped me out so much during this process, it is great having such great people behind us.

Until He Returns
