Jesus is Salvation

Amazing feeling, when you feel useful and when you feel you can bring and give something back to the people who might not have anything.
This weekend was my first trip to Oltenia visiting some families and bringing the Christmas message to them through caroling.
I was not really prepared for what I would see there, and it was a wonderful time.
I ve met several interesting people in the group we went too, and as well i was impressed by some of the families there.
Of course at a certain moment I got pulled back into my life, 10 years ago, when I was one of these people, who had nothing.
I was just left without words.
Sunday instead was a very good day, we went to two churches, well church is too much to say for the second one cause it was a house who will serve as a church later on. I liked the second one better, where the sermon was in regards of Christmas and it was a beautiful one.
I ve enjoyed it so much, and it made me go back to basics, that Jesus is our Salvation, and that He is the Light, and that we should walk always in the Light.
I came back with my soul filled with peace i guess, calm and sort of happy, i am not sure how to define it cause i rarely go through something like this.
I am glad my body supported this trip, and that I ve managed with God's help to be part of this amazing experience.
hope to get the chance to be involved more in such activities

Happy New Year almost:)

November Teambuilding

I ve actually forgot to share some of the pictures from the last teambuilding i ve organized, which was one of the best ones ever.
Basically we had fun, but as well we had the chance to know each other better and to connect with each other in a way that we could'nt achieve in office only.

So here are some of the pictures









Merry Christmas

I had a post called Merry Christmas in advance, but it looks like I ve missed the chance at posting it right on time. No worries, I am posting it today, the 26th of December, 02nd day of Christmas, and my mum's birthday.
Well what can I say? This year very special Christmas , in a new home, alone, which was good at the beginning but then it started to feel awkard.
The idea is that I was feeling very bad i left my family alone on Christmas Eve.
The plan was to go caroling with some of my work colleagues which we did, but in the same time I felt like I was again failing on God's will for me, as the people from church went caroling to several hospitals and some other people.
So I kind of wanted to be with them, but in  the end, as my colleagues were insisting as always - i made a choice, which might have not been the right one.
Basically we went to 3 places:) where we ate a lot, and at 3 AM we were so tired so we did not reach my place, where everything was ready for the guys. I was disappointed and once again I ve learned that I really need to be more selfish, and to stop caring about what others want, but about what I want as well.
I can not complain that the evening was bad, but i can not say it was perfect as well.

My only wish would have been to sing more about Jesus, and to carol more, specially in this time of year.
Tomorrow I m heading to Oltenia for 2 nights where I ll be caroling, so this should support my wish;)

More details and posts once I come back,

Enjoy the celebration!

Corporate World

This year was a very interesting year in the Corporate World. Our Corporate Winter Party was held at one of the famous clubs of Cluj Napoca Diesel.
In the past I used to like Diesel, it was the place where rock bands came to play and the atmosphere and fame of the place was very popular.
This time I was surprised to see a place, fancy as always but with a different style of music, and with different kind of dressing code.
Anyhow I miss the old Diesel, but I ll share some pictures from that specific party, and also in between I am adding two pictures from my sister's Winter party, which was held at a Famous Cluj Napoca Hotel - Grand Hotel Italia.
This time she had more fun then me:)

Good people bring the best in other people

This is one of my old posts , in regards of how good people and good things bring the best in other people, and they are sometime inspirations for others.
During November I had again a teambuilding with my team, and why i am bragging about this event is because i do not want to loose this feeling, the feeling of building a team. It was really great!
Well I saw a part of my team members which I haven t seen until then. That they are sensitive people, caring about each other, vulnerable people, and also willing to do lots of things to achieve their dreams.
I was proud of each and everyone of them, and I was surprise to be nervous as well.
I ll add some of the pictures another time...for now...just one:




Family Portrait

Surfing the Internet I found a lovely picture that belongs to my family: my two lost brothers.
And from this picture my thoughts started to go away, and regrets came in, and as well pride for a moment.
Why?
Well I keep asking myself over and over again, how things would have been if I would have followed my gift which is music?
Well, I guess is too late to change anything now, but is something that from time to time comes to my mind.

I ll keep the picture here, for the moments i need it:

A level down

Winter is here, people are already practicing the sport they love: ski and snowboard, or who know what else is new.
I am just remembering, and searching my soul. I remembered the Vonda Shepard song, and now I ve added it into my playlist. I am thinking that my boss is right, I have a sadness inside, something that I can not loose no matter how hard I try.
I see myself as the sun for others, but then the question is WHO is my sun? What do I need to be happy?
I do not have the answer to that now, but I am craving for something inside, and I am not sure what it can be. Maybe is love, maybe is just that. But what if? What if  I find that and I am still not happy ? What do I do then?
I need to figure this out, and I am not sure how.
I am a mean person, I am thinking always on the wrong things, I am not even sure how should i stop doing this.
I need a time of introspection again, and hopefully that will help me out.

Now, I need to get ready for another Week of work:)
