christmas time in denmark

once again i fill this blog with pictures from denmark. this time it was a roadtrip with my parents right before christmas. we went there to pick up my sister and help her move back to czech. the only thing missing to make the most beautiful christmas atmosphere was snow, but it was still a wonderful before-christmas time with the family, walking the streets of pretty towns of denmark.

this time i not only took pictures, but i also shot a short video.

sisters, at last. {Denmark}

this never happens. all three of us taking pictures together.

the oldest one. (the special moment when she lets me photograph her)

stories.

first of all, i love Prague. there is just something really special about taking a train there, even if it's just for one evening. i love the train ride by myself, having time to read a book, listen to music and watch the beautiful scenery out of the window, people-watch, think, believe it or not i often write letters. and i finally see the first glimpses of this city, and the castle is one of them. i get to the main train station and start my way downtown. i love being on my own and yet not feel alone at all. being in the crowd of mostly tourists, watching the city light up, walk the streets and kill time. just like last wednesday. there is just something about it.

the reason i went to Prague was to listen to a story. a story of a girl i always heard about from one of my dearest friends. and plus, all of my great friends were coming to this meeting as well. it was such a special time of fellowship between people that are connected throught Christ even if they haven't met before. 

i love stories, i love when people are honest and not afraid of showing their wounds. aren't we all broken? some are just better at hiding it. it was a good reminder of how our stories are unique. each of us was created and shaped differently, but precisely by His hand. it was just what i needed to remember, that He is right by my side no matter what's happening or how much pain and chaos takes over my life. He is right there. and it's me who chooses whom to listen to. if it's the devil's lies or Christ's sweet Truth. it was an encouragement to truly rejoice in the struggles and be thankful for whatever life brings, and whatever story we have. because if we let God, He will be glorified throught our story, and He will use it to bless others.

Thanks to Babu, for being such an encouragement and blessing, for loving God deeply, forgiving genuinely, and for being a brave daughter of Christ that reminded us what truly matters in life, no matter what the world and society tell us over and over again. 

cph - sisterhood {Denmark}

our last day was spent in the capitol, Copenhagen. once again blessed with wonderful weather, encouraged by friendly people, lovely cafes, bikes all around, beautiful architecture, windy boat trip, sad at the thought of leaving and being apart again.

Roskilde - sisterhood {Denmark}

the beautiful small town called Roskilde awaited us with nice weather, colorful leaves, cute houses, and lots of shopping. the home of Vikings. i loved walking along the shore and enjoyed the salty smell as we ate lunch in the harbour.

Naestved park - sisterhood {Denmark}

going back to editing pictures from Denmark. i always take too many pictures, and i'm never able to chose just a couple. so it takes me forever to actual upload them. but here we go, there's another bunch from our bike adventure and hang out in a beautiful park with lots of trees and house of butterflies.
