I had a short trip to Amsterdam in early December.
I had one day free where I got to see some sites - including The Hiding Place, Anne Frank's house, and LOTS of rain. For the most part I thought Amsterdam was a charming place but it is very rainy, windy, and cold at that time of year.
As for God, His way is perfect; the Word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
Psalm 143:8
Cause me to hear Thy loving kindness in the morning; for in Thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto Thee.
