God is calling to you every day. What we do? Do we answer?
This is also today's evening youthmeeting theme :) This youthmeeting is the first one in this season - and in my heart I feel really awesome excitment. I believe that is not only season opening but in every students and team-member heart opening for God!!! Passion - that I want more God, more to know Him, more to know His Word - and love for the others :)
I believe - today will be awesome eve!

Profession

2011-08-09T08:59:00.005+02:00

I was talking with my mom - she was spent time with my granny and she said: "Efka, do you know, what has been your granny's most funniest profession - and she got officially paid for that?" I couldn't figure out :)

MOSQUITO CATCHER :)

Wow, she was working at her young age in Siberia some kind malary-center. She and one other girl - they had special things with what they tried to catch them. And every evening they had to write report :D WOW :)

Mosquito catcher family 15 years ago :)

There is always Success with God

2011-08-06T09:42:00.016+02:00

It is already second half of summer. The time has been blessed and I've seen how God is working amazingly among our youths and kids.
We have had two amazing camps in our church. One was for youths - English camp named Collision and the second one just ended last week - was our kids camp named One Way.
Those were super. I saw how God changed students and kids heart and how well worked our young leaders - taking care of each-other. Sharing out God's love. I am proud of every students - and it so great to know, that they are not just some students but very lovely friends - I really preciate them and enjoying every moment with them.

Kunda EC 2011 Collision

Children camp 2011 - One Way

In a EC - 3 students gave their lives to Jesus. That is so awesome. And many children gave their lives to Jesus in children camp. Interesting fact about kids camp - that it was raining terribly and we almost decided to end the camp one day earlier -because lot of tents were full of water (mine too) and it seemed that there is no ending coming more water. Quite desperate situation (we were for 4 days living in the forest with tents with 55 kids and 35 students and camp leaders, making food on fire - quite extreme but really awesome) - but suddenly on saturday morning came resolution - we got keys one house - so we coud continue the camp and on that evening many kids got to saved. That was AWESOME!!!! :)
On the last day of the camp - kids were crying - didn't want to leave - they said that it was the best camp forever - even team said that it ended too quickly even most of the leaders have slept only for some hours. But this left the mark - God's fingerprint to every kids heart (many of them were from non-christian families) :) I saw how it joined our teenagers leaders heart - they gave their best :) And I believe this work is going on - blessed! Thank you, Lord :)
But in this summer there have happend more lovely things :)
My dream-birthdayparty - my friends made this special (it lasts for 3 days-in the forest) hahhahaaaa! (There were over 40 people - came those who could and wanted - open to everybody)
Maila and Henry got married! Yehuuuuuuuu!!!!!! Maila, that's my girl :)
Spending special time with Riin, Siki.
Janek and Rebekah moved to Kunda (today we having supper together at Liis' place - already waiting for that) mmm :)
Having a lot of fun :) and i really enjoy reading (every spare moment, even when i am sitting in the car and waiting somebody).
Having vacation and now I am back to work - and even for two weeks there is lot of lack of sleeping, but the joy is really high :)
And at the moment 3 roses at my tabel remembering me that I really love my work at hospital too :) even when there is so much work to do and eyes don't stay open anymore - babyboom :D
And all thank to God - He is making me strong and that I can walk in His peace and joy :) SUPER!!!

Sweets in yesterday

2011-06-20T09:01:00.003+02:00

Yesterday was lovely and also the day before yesterday - my best days in this summer (ahahaa - summer hasn't even begin) But what made those days - of course friends!!!

We just spent time together and that made my heart rejoice :D

Friends whom i haven't seen already like half a year and suddenly one friend appeared middle of the day in Rakvere (i knew that she is in Hungary) - no words almost came my mouth - I just couldn't believe my eyes. (Really hard to describe feelings :) ) SO HAPPY!!!!

In the evening we went also to Paide with Riin and Liis. And this place is my second homeplace - lot of memories and lot of good work what God has done in my life there.

When I was there in the church service - I was thinking how those dear peole have impacted my life so awesomely.

Friends are gift from Lord - SWEETS!! (Pic made in Paide chilling :D ) Muahh!!!

School of Leaders

2011-06-18T10:41:00.003+02:00

First year finished :D (5-th of June, 2011)

That was very special time and special people.

Coffee table

2011-01-25T16:42:00.004+02:00

... that describes my day today perfectly :)

Sometime when you spend your time at the table, you don't do anything wise - but today I am feeling that is lead by my God. And I am so happy about that :)

My morning begin at my workplace - I was at a nightshift. One beautiful baby girl was also born :) and I was the first one, who could hold the newborn. So my day began with privilege.

[In pic: coffee ~5 years ago at lake Peipsi]

First coffee table - at my work - talking, laughing, courageing collegaues - that was so sweet.

Then back to home. Coffee and my laptop - some talking with Maria :) [See you in the evening at coffee table]

Then back to Rakvere - third coffee (not exacly coffee but Kakao) I and my friend had one interview with journalist - making article about youth counselling - I was thinking that it takes one hour, but it was so good to talk so we were together hours. I haven't seen my friend for a long time - so after interview we just shared and listening each other stories. That remembered me - how many precious people surrounding us and how little time we are taking with them. Quality time.

But I hadn't eaten yet, so I decided to go to eat Art Caffee. Taking time by myself. Fourth coffee table. Also speaking with Riin in MSN. Next to the table were sitting one girl - reading. But for me was just a girl - when I had spent time an hour - girl stand up and looked at - asked Efka? I looked at her, Lotta? Hhahahaaaa!!! She was sitting next table to me and I didn't noticed - so she sat next to me and we had one sweet conversation. That made my day.

At the moment I am sitting alone - and enjoying time. Thinking - quite soon I will go also to church - where we have boardship meeting - fifth coffee (there maybe I prefer tea).

And when it is finished - then one special meeting what I really wait - is meeting with Liis. Sixth coffeeee (there I prefer maybe water) hahhahaaaa!

I believe that those times what is ahead today are really special and blessed time. Maybe for someone it sounds a little boring day - but that is a day - where I can invest in different relations. I love that! So, welcome to the table! :)

Joke of the day :)

2011-01-23T22:48:00.003+02:00

From Vahur when she looked at me: "Wow, it is so great to see, that I can be young still very long time!" [Those understand who understood]

Handprints

2011-01-22T16:27:00.006+02:00

... marks in peoples life with whom we relate.

I really enjoyed last night - we had girls eve. We were together, doing funny stuff, worshipping - had great conversations. They are so sweet!!!

I love them so much!!!

I am so excited about them!

God has so awesome plan for their life!!! They have put their handprints into my life - and impacted me on a good way. It is so sweet to see - how they with full of their heart want to follow God.

They are such a example for me - just one 15 year old girl said there about challenges - I love to accept challenges even when I am afraid to do those things in the beginning - but I know that God is with me and there could be something very special. I would like to face it - and with that she couraged the other girls too!!! Wow!!! Handprints!!!

Just thinking what kind handprints I have left in people's lives? Is it always positive? Lately I have had some hard conversations too - and now I am a little confused, did I spoke with right words? I don't want to mess up things. That makes my heart a little heavy.

But I know, that there is a Helper - who gives wisdom and guidance and I love to leave positive handprints!

So, I am sorry, if I hurt somebody - but next time I try to do better :)

Anita had a birthday yesterday

2011-01-21T11:44:00.012+02:00

... and I already wanted to write yesterday something for her :)
She is so sweet and lovely - my dear friend and I am so happy, that we have done so much together :) She is so talented and God has very special plan for her.

One day I was thinking - how we met ... she was in Rakke. And I remember huge Rakke youthcamps in Salla - most of the students were non-christians and guys and she was responsible for those camps. I went there usually only one evening to do program but thinking - wow, that is a work :)

Then time went on - and she began attending in Karmel church. I saw her sometimes - but we didn't do a long talking - I didn't know, that now she was living in Rakvere. But thanks to Maila, she invited her one birthday party - and then I got to know - she is in Rakvere for some years - I was amazed. (But sometimes my problem is, that I don't notice quieter person - I have to deal with that.)

But after that we became really good friends. That is so funny how different we are - I really enjoy that :) we have done already together so much crazy stuff.

And quite many times she has rescued me too hahahhhaaaa! :) Even when I shock her - she is taking very calmly my crazy doings - like once - right after South-Africa trip - i didn't tell anybody, that i had quite serious health problem. On that day we arrived and in the evening we had to go to the youthleadersconference in Viimsi. I sneaked to hospital :D didn't want to shock my friends, but i needed a little surgery. But with all my heart I wanted to go the conference - in hospital they said, that they don't want let me out. But I did sweet talking :) But I couldn't travel in Tallinn alone, so I called Anita :) and said that don't be amazed, what I talking now. I told all story and she said: OK, I'll come to pick you up. Not extra quetions (she knew that sooner or later I will talk anyway everything) And we could go to the conference :D Yesss!

One year and half she has been one of our church youthleaders and part of the leaders team.

And that is so awesome to work together Yeiii!

She is so dear!!!!!

With Lisbet

Blessings dear Anita, that is so privilege to be your friend and to do youthwork!!!
HUGS, SIS!!!

Tuesday

2011-01-18T22:47:00.002+02:00

Blessed day!
I got some hours to spend with Tapa Russian School students. They were lovely. I love russian people - they are much more open than estonians and if the have quetions, ideas - they spread them out.
I did some lectures to 11-16 years girls. Half in estonian, half in russian - and i am not very strong in russian language, but it was fun. We discussed quite intimate themes - and I was really amazed how open girls were and asking quetions. Sometimes, when I am doing lectures - not easy to get connected with students, but today ... yesss :)
Later I went also one birthday party with midwifes and in the evening we had cellgroup. That is so privilege to share and pray together with those lovely people/friends.
Now is quite late - have to go to bed. Tommorow workday - needing a little healing to my right hand (today was quite hard to drive car only with my lefthand hahahaaaa! Comic!)
So - we'll see :) anyway - that was really blessed day!!!

Freedom with God every morning

2011-01-17T10:07:00.008+02:00

He has made every morning for us and He has given freedom in Him - if we want that.

Just some few days ago we had in our little church great worship-service named FREEDOM

Different worshipbands came together from all over the Estonia - not to show how talented they are, but to worship God, our Lord with all of the heart.

Saturday morning I came from work - little tired. I was thinking: "Mmmm, service will begin at 2 pm and lasts to 9 pm. Too long and my flesh is tired, maybe I'll go later and anyway I am at church every week at least three times, what can change - God works everywhere."
I caught my thoughts: "efka, what are you thinking about??? That is not right thinking - I know God is preparing something special for you!"
I made my decicion - I am going there in the beginning, not listening what my flesh is talking - of course i did little rest at home before the service.
But you see - even in thinkings - there is freedom to choose - for example: to go or not to go! But better was to go in that situation.

That was awesome! AWESOME!!! We worshipped God for 7 hours. That wasn't concert - that was amazing worship time! Can't describe that. There wasn't only music with what we worshipped God, but 7 hours worship time Ain from Kuressaare painted a picture (pic is below) And he is praising God so, that he is painting God's Word. There is freedom 1000 different ways how we can give praise to Him :)

Again some walls inside of me were broken down, that I can move on much more easier.

Yes, I have been christian for 16 years, but still struggling with some things - not giving some areas fully to my God. It was life changing time and it lasts still now. I even got some concrete instructions for this year.
[Hanna, that was SO important and necessary that you came!!! I am so glad - thank youuuuuu!!!]
We just have to give ourselves to Lord.

Sunday morning worship went on! At church, with friends - even when we had saunaparty in the evening, what ended with visiting emergency room after little jumping/dancing in slippery floor hahahaa! - it didn't switched off our joy :) (Even there nurses gave orders - now you have to lift up your hand for some days-ahahhaa)

We have freedom everywhere - maybe it sounds a little crazy - but we are crazy for God!
Aren't we, Maria?

What is freedom in God - joy and peace in your heart - and thankful heart to Lord. And that is not only for you, but for every person, who desires that and accepting that!!!
Take this FREEDOM - and you'll see how life is changing.

I am Estonian!!!

2010-08-25T23:06:00.002+02:00

Estonian!
At the camp fire with our and some of Tallinn youths (20-th of August, 2010)
I am so blessed, that I am estonian, because God created me so!!!
I am proud to be estonian, but I want also be a humble!!!

Today's discovery

2010-08-17T12:11:00.007+02:00

Yesterday I was at work for 24 hour and I finished today morning. I feel really well, I got some rest, because babies didn't want to come last night. So I had enough time to deal with youthwork - and organize our church youth weekend event: RestingDays. The purpose of the event: that is launching platform for the youths to attend of youthmeetings. But also it is build-up relation time, getting together with friends and new friends and spending three days together in the forest. Tents, sleepingbags, food on fire and so on!!!! OLDSCHOOL!!! Sitting at the fire and worshipping God, telling testimonies - praying, celebrating independency of our country. It is not camp - but gathering together, reunion.

Storm's art near our camping place

When the first time the idea came from Lord (i believe, He gave that thought) - I said only - yes, I can take it easy, not much organizing, don't have to put all my heart on it - JUST TAKING EASY. But when reality came, I realized - even when I am doing the most simple thing, I have to put my whole heart into that. God is never doing His job only 50% or 80%. When He is at work, that is 100% I can't take it easy, but my heart can be in peace not worring.
And today I discovered - that is like organizing big youthcamp and usually we are planning that for months, but now - we got for that only some days :) But my heart is in peace. God himself is working - and eveything fits together amazingly.

At the moment there registered already 40 youths and maybe there will be more - I am happy and my heart is rejoice'ing. People are calling - asking what they can do for that event! Awesome! Some day's ago I went to look over camping place - and storm have done dancing there too, lot of broken trees, but already people are dealing with that to clean up the place. Youths are ready to do - what needed. So great!!! I believe, that for everyone, this weekend is a very special time together with God and friends. I WON'T TAKE IT EASY - but 100%

So, every person, thank you, that you are ready to put you whole heart on that!!!!
Let's have Karmel Youth RestingDays with God!

Midnight friend pic

2010-08-14T14:15:00.003+02:00

.... and still looking great.
Everymoment with friends is a golden time and refreshed, even when it is midnight!

Love you!!!!
[Dedicated to Liis and Maria]
14-th, August, 2010
Happy Half-Valentines Day!!!

August Rush

2010-08-13T14:41:00.003+02:00

August is always for me special month - that is like the end of the year. Having a vacation but already prearing yourself to the next work-period. It brings for me also an excitment - as a youthleader, I am thinking how to go on this year with youthwork.

What is now God's direction? We have had with Him really great times and step-by-step He gives instructions. For me this summer has been quite hard, because I didn't have from my workplace (hospital) vacation and all summerstuff I had fit it in the schedule. But God was mercyful and He softened my boss heart and I could do English Camp, even I didn't have vacation. God has been my summer-organizer and even that after camp i had to work very often - He gave me strength to handle with that - and I am happy and in peace.

English Camp was awesome! 4 people gave their heart to Jesus and there were quite many people who dedicated their life again to Lord. Fruits and that made my heart rejoice, even before I felt that there is no any energy left. Thank you Lord!

I don't want that this August is rush by myself but together with God. And that will be Awesome August Rush - following His ways. I am ready!!!!

Quick changes

2010-08-12T11:54:00.005+02:00

In my life, I love when something is happening and that makes me excited. But sometimes we are waiting changes and when those things began to happen - then those things are frightening us.
I was thinking about that today - change can happen fast. At the moment I see that in my life. Am I afraid??? Why I am thinking, that I am afraid? Don't know, but I know, what I can do - TRUST GOD. Even, when it is not comfortable for me, I know that it can be part of God's process.

(9-th, Aug 2010 Before storm at Kadrina)
At the moment there are some challenges,

I have to face them! What should I do?

I want to follow God - TRUST HIM! I know, He will give me enough strength - changes is friend not a foe. My God is my compass during a storm of change! Cool!
I know, change means that God is at work. And that makes me happy, knowing - however quick and calculated change has been, He is unchanging and can be trusted! And the main - what I was thinking - God has designed change to be part of a believer's process of sanctification-becoming more like Jesus! I want to be more like Jesus! Come changes, come!
I trust You, Lord!!!

Haven't written for a long time...

2010-04-19T20:43:00.002+02:00

.... I discovered that today. Ouch! :) So many things has happened and I didn't want to spent much time in the internet. There are so much to talk about - but to write down words - at the moment is so hard, I even don't know why.
But even, that there have passed for almost 4 months - I have seen so many God's blessings - even when there have been really high walls on my road.
I am still happy!!!!!!!!!!!!
God is doing amazing work among the youths!!!
I had awesome time in South-Africa!!!
I learned on a new way how to walk in the peace of God in different situations.
And I try to learn, how to rest wisely.
Not much talking today :D
Good night!

Happy Year 2010

2010-01-02T12:43:00.002+02:00

Now it is 2010 :)

New year like every year when year begins :) But it depends on us - what kind of year will be. How we walk with God - how we make decicions and how we handle different situations, challenges, even difficulties - that what makes this year 2010 special.

My year will be special one - walking with God, apprecate friends, seeing people around who I can help and doing good. Always when you are following the plan of God - always the year is special one.

So lets make that year together unique.

One month to go

2009-12-30T21:33:00.002+02:00

Today - in one month we are going to South-Africa with Liis. Preparing time has been quite interesting, of course there is also some pressure - but finally has done all paperwork - and now it is not depend on us, do we get visas or not. That decision will do consular :) and I hope that will be positive :) and we get know that to the end of the next week.

I strongly believe that on this trip there will be God's blessing.

Just today came new challenge - I got sms - that flight schedule has changed. In the beginning was: WHAT? And now we have to figure out - how to exchange one flight tickets in Africa. So for us adventures has already began. But I have absolute peace in my heart and I know there will be OK with God.

Connection-groups

2009-11-17T23:03:00.006+02:00

Connection-groups - we named our youth smallgroups so :)

Connection with God!
Connection with church!
Connection with friends!
Connection with new friends!

Today we gathered together with our youth connection-group leaders and our pastor Gunnar shared some things from Word of God.
At the moment we have in our church 5 youth smallgroups - and today we could share with eachother, how is it going!!!

Leaders are:
Anette and Pille (12-14 years girls)
Erki, Gert and Ardi (13-17 year guys)
Maila and Anita (17-19 year girls)
Liis, Maily and Maria (18+ guys and girls)
Regiina, Kadi and me (14-16 girls living in Kadrina-14 km from Rakvere)

I am really happy, that those leaders are ready to give their heart for the youths. Sometimes it is not a easy work, but if you are working for God - things are different.
My heart is jumping with joy - how God is lifting up leaders and training them and working inside of them. And I keep praying that Lord is lifting up more leaders who are taking their position and following with 100% Lord.

Guys, it is such a privilege to work with you!!!
Thank you Anette, Pille, Erki, Gert, Ardi, Maila, Anita, Liis, Maily, Maria, Regiina and Kadi!!!
(In pic missing Anette, Pille, Gert, Ardi, Kadi and Maria - they couldn't come today)

Best relation ...

2009-10-30T00:10:00.009+02:00

... that was theme last night when our youths gathered together to Avispea. (Pastor Erek and Pilvi are also so kind letting us there, thank you!) At the moment for the young people is merry time - school vacation. Yehuu, but we wanted to use that time wisely - so we had wednesday night youthevening where they could also stay for the night - and we talked about relations between guys and girls and God in those relations.

43 people (picture is small but if you look carefully there is 42 youths :) ) gathered together and it was so great to see - how quickly everybody got connected with each other and could talk about different themes. Also we had good fellwship time - half of them almost stayed awake whole night :) It is so good to see how God is working in their lives and they grow closer and closer to God. And they not keeping only that in themselves but also sharing it out.

Worship time

Piret and Hillar sharing to youths

So I am already excting, what God is doing next because already in 7 hours we begin our trip with youths to Lithuania to be part there of youthconference!
Good night and see you soon :)

Future teachers, doctors, presidents, lawers

2009-10-27T20:04:00.020+02:00

On last Saturday we had in Rakvere huge children day "Super Friend" Children from all over of Estonia came together and there were together over 400 children - to find out who is the best friend - and to the end of the day they found out - that Jesus is their best friend - who is wise, strong and faithful :)

All day was really great - children could sing together, see the perfomance and dance, then they could make a play themselves and to do a little handicraft. Everywhere you went you saw happy faces.

All team was great - they functioned together and it wasn't matter to them that they could sleep only few hours - they were ready to serve and invest to those future teachers, presidents, doctors, lawers, pastors, socialworkers and so on.

God works awesomely :)

Excitement :)

2009-10-21T12:04:00.004+02:00

It so exciting - that there are sometimes some things, where you even can't begin to dream and already somebody is fullfilling that. With me happended that again - so great!
God is awesome!!!

In the beginning of last week Liis mentioned that she wants to go to South-Africa ( this country is for her and for Maria like second homeplace, where they lived as a students a year four years ago) and I said to her: "So cool, I want to come!" (making a little joke) - but as you know - those words, what you speak out loudly - there is a power of fullfillment (Bible said that). But then we finished that conversation and I didn't think about that anymore :) But next day I was at Tapa Reformatory School doing lecture there (challenge for me again) and after finishing lecture and sitting in my car ( still excited about everything) Liis called me and asked, do I really mean to come to South-Africa :) I almost screamed to her, that she is crazy and that is absolutely crazy idea - but I will say yes to that. So she reserved plane tickets and in two days we bought tickets (those were so cheap $500 from Stockholm to Johannesburg - there and back)! Everything went so quickly - I even couldn't almost think with clear mind :D I only listened my heart - and there was green light, only my mind were screaming hahahhaaaa!

So now we are going to South-Africa at the end of January and we will back at the end of February - so cool! And main place where we are going to stay is Port Elizabeth. Now we need get done some papers and visas and then we are ready to go. Just before that I was talking with my pastor - and he remembered me, how important is resting time and we have to plan that- sometimes you have to get away from everything to think clearly, and so - opportunity came! On February is my vacation :) but I believe, that God will do also great things there. And we are ready to serve there. At the same time our youthwork of course goes on with full power - we have very cool youthleaders team - and if me and Liis are away - the others will manage greatly - I KNOW THAT FOR SURE! My smallgroup girls also are excited - because - they can lead the smallgroup by themselves (there are already good young leaders growing) and using my apartment.

It is so interesting to see how supportive is everybody - my boss was so excited too - and was agree that I can't come to work for a month - and in summer I can get also some vacation :) my parents were a little schocked (specially my dad) hahhahaaa! But now is OK!

So with Liis we are feeling peace in our hearts to go there and before that I believe - that there will happen more very exciting things with GOD!

Joy in the Lord

2009-10-16T15:52:00.005+02:00

In few hours will begin again our youthmeeting - that is such a privilege what God has given to us - to our church - privilege to serve those youths. In every day they growing closer and closer to God and also to my heart - and they are so dear to me :D Today we are going to talk about joy - joy in the Lord. I am so glad to see how they see God in their everydays life and how they are sharing Word of God. They are so shiney - and happy and I hope that nobody can steal their joy! We have had some small-groups - and young people are so talktive - cool - they just with enthusiasm talk about what little miracles God has done in their lives.

At the moment we have 5 smallgroups (homegroups) to the youths - 12-14 years girls, highschool girls, 15-18 years guys, 16-17years girls in Kadrina and 18year plus group where at the moment guys and girls are together. We need more groups of course - but at the moment are things so :D and I am so thankful for every leader who are doing that work with fullheart.

Two years ago there were times when we had in the youthmeeting maybe 10 or 15 youths - but now if we have in the youthmeeting like 30 or 35 youth - already then youths are saying - why so few are here today :)

At the moment there is about 80 young people who are going in the youthgroup or small group at least twice in a month. THAT IS SO COOL :) And it is interesting to see - that almost in every youthmeeting there is somebody new one. That is privilege!!!! That is joy!!! Thank You for victory!

... and new home

2009-09-19T18:48:00.002+02:00

... so now I have new home too - this time I will go to live in Kadrina :) lovely apartment - so, you are welcome, my friends :) see you there!!!! For me is that quite a kind record - a car and home with one week - wow hahahhaaaa! Thank you Lord!!!

So, I decided - tommorow I will buy new car. Though is even for me funny - but I need new one and several things needed to do - so I have to do that step. (I almost killed with Maria my Opel).
Peace is in my heart - so for me it means green light. Maybe I decided too quickly - maybe, but maybe not. That's how I make decisions - sometimes my even my friends saying that i am a little crazy - but that's me :) Bye-bye my opel :) "Opel is dead, long live the Opel!" Quess what is new one ... :D ???

Child of God

2009-08-07T07:15:00.004+03:00

Great news :) Julia is a child of God. Just last night after church service - she did hers dedication to Lord! Sooooooo great. My heart jumped seeing lovely and dear girl shining with smile and tears in her eyes.
I met with her in English Camp and now she made her next step! So our new baby-sister!
She just let connect her lifestory with God's story and I believe, Julia - you have an amazing time with God every day!!!
In pic Anita, Lea and Julia ( Lea called Julia to EC) :)

Last vacation day

2009-08-04T21:28:00.003+03:00

So tommorow back to work :) those 28 days passed so quickly that I even couldn't figure out that I had vacation. But I really thank God what He did during that time. For me - that was really busy, challenging, facing really hard things in my personal life but at the same time I saw how God made my days most prettiest. I feel more stronger and looking back to the some things - now I see, that those challenges were like exams. Most incredible of course were English Camp. God worked in His ways - and those EC students are deeply in my heart. I am amazed also how hardly I am missing all EC folks. That was awsome - don't have words to describe. http://www.public.fotki.com/Effy003/2009-aasta-sndmused/ec-2009-rakvere-in-pala/ - Here is pictures what has made with my camera.

Thank you Lord for every day what you made and what are coming!!!

Just Morning

2009-06-04T10:20:00.003+03:00

Just drinking tea with honey - I try to change something - for example, instead drinking so much coffee, I try to prefer green-tea :) Yeah, that is hard, but I LOVE CHALLENGES (of course I won't give up with coffee but try to reduce amounts - Congratulations Efka!

The other thing why at the moment tea is great - I got cold at the hottest day of this year - too funny for me!

My car broke down - so I can celebrate with tea - that some day I will get new car [Maila - i remembered what you said some weeks ago :) ]

Tea is GREAT!

So, GOOD MORNING!

[If you didn't understand anything what was written - that is OK - not your fault :) ]

The day is great anyway!!! Thanx Lord!

Global Prayer Day

2009-06-01T10:31:00.007+03:00

At 31.May 4:17am sunrise - All over the Estonia in different places youths were gathering together to pray for Estonia in that early morning - so do we :)

Pille, Maria and Me - we went to highest place in Rakvere to pray for our nation, goverment and more and more... Maybe some can say - only three people - but for God is OK - He had said in His Word "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst."

OUR COUNTRY IS IN HIS HANDS!!!

Dedication to Maria :P

2009-04-04T08:59:00.007+02:00

Maria, I wanted to write that blog to you - why
There are different reasons :)

But one of the reason is, that you are amazing and when we went playing bowling - i got such kind of pics about you that i laughed an hour :)

I couldn't believe - how natural you are hahahahahhahaaaa!

I know, when you are coming to Rakvere - you want to kill me hhehehehehheeeee!

Look at you! So NATURAL :D

Rejoycing!!!

And all this pic have made in 30 minutes :)

You are great, girl!!!

Being everywhere in the same time...

2009-04-01T11:59:00.003+02:00

Sometime there are coming times (in my life very often) where at the same time there are several things where you have to be - and you want to be -EVERYWHERE. Today is a such kind of day - and it is so HARD to say NO for some things - terrible. :) Really - deep inside of me - I know - where I have to be for sure, but... (OK, no buts) :) and no excuses. [Sometimes I like to manipulate with excuses - but through that I have learned, things are going then more complicated :) ]

OK - I try to be WISE (I am not very good in that hahahhahahaaa!) and do right choices - and I really believe that what is written in the Bible: "Discretion will protect you and understanding will guard you." Proverbs 2:11 So, I will go out with God's wisdom :) and I know already, that today is blessed day!!! :)

God is working in Rakvere :)

2009-03-30T14:55:00.014+02:00

So - quiet day - half :) Lately have so many positive things happen and I am really thankful to Lord for all that. Because, in every day where we live, God has made those days for us.
SO - WHAT HAS BEEN LATELY...

Riin where in my place - even we were so tired to talk a lot - but I just enjoyed your company (i know, you are reading that blog) and today morning went so quickly - that we could only drink coffee together - [By the way Riin, I am coming Paide on 8-th April :) to be with Ellen's girls, so I will call you :D]

Last night we did dinner together with friends in my place - before we went cinema (not very good movie-but i stayed alive :) ) But in the Sunday morning - that was happy!!!

Then was sunday morning meeting and six our youths joined with our church members! That was so great. They got baptized two weeks ago in our youthcamp - and now it was formal - lay hands on!!! My heart is always full of joy when youths are doing dedication to Lord.

Church elders (Veronika, Meelis and Gunnar) are laying hands on Mattias.

Also in youthmeetings are in really high-times. Youths want to more and more get to know God - and in EVERY youthmeeting there are at least one NEW person! And that is so wonderful to see how quickly they are getting friends with eachother. And our team also is really motivated - seeing how God is working. That is not our strength - but HIS!!!

On friday youthmeeting!

Anitas game from France :) Girls vs Guys

More games :)

Worship time!

Young preacher Anette sharing hers testemony!

The other preacher :) Regiina!

Maria is sharing about friends through God's perspective - and examples are Jaanika and Kristiina :)

Usual friday midnight shift after youthmeeting :D this time felloshipping and playing UNO-cards!

There is much more to talk about but now I have to hurry to my really good and lovely friend's birthday party! But see you later and then we can share again what God has done in small town named Rakvere!
Blessings!!!

CAMP

2009-03-12T08:47:00.004+02:00

MAIN AND THE BEST YOUTH WORSHIP-BAND!

... about camping - those times are for young people very special - and to me also. Of course in organizing process - you are thinking - does everything go well - how God is moving this time :)

I have been in different camps for 14 years - and never ever i haven't been in a bad camp :) so I already know that tommorow will begin for our Karmel teenagers and team very special camp what lasts for 3 days. Living togeter - learning about God, worshiping, praying, having fun, night action in forest, baptising (yes - this time we have baptising in the camp - so exciting - 8 persons get baptised), our pastor Gunnar, Märt Saar and Meeme - are preaching there :)

Now just looking over some last things and then .. one, two, three - START! Those people, who are in the team - they preparing different things with their heart and are ready invest their lives into the teenagers life :) And team is super! Maybe I am overexcited - but that is privilege to work with that team.

Thank you God!

Thank you team!

Thank you youths!

H.O.T (Hea Olla Tuline)

2009-02-07T12:00:00.006+02:00

Are you burning for God :) with 100% ? About that we talked last night in our youthmeeting where main theme was H.O.T. (Hea Olla Tuline est. - Good to be Hot). When you are hot and burning for God then it doesn't matter what kind of situations you are in - even very hard situations - you see how God makes you strong, firm and wise and how to come out from there. But you have to give yourself 100% and trust Him.

Last night my heart just jumped for joy - about 30 burning youths were togeter, worshipping, praying, sharing God's Word, having fun, celebrating birthdays, fellowshipping and engouraging each other. That was amazing! And the happiest part was that - one girl named Helen who was first time in the youthmeeting - gave her heart for God! Yehuuu! For sure angels where celebrating that in Heaven :) That is really hard to descibe that joy :)

God is just AMAZING!!!

Susanna and Helen :)

Fishers of Men

2009-02-03T12:59:00.006+02:00

Last night we had little but very important gathering! Some of our youthministry key-persons got together - because of English Camp. For me team-meetings are always special ones!

I am so thankful to God, that He has put together those people and they are ready invest their life into the youth lives. And that is privilege to work with that specialteam!

Thank you: Merle, Gert, Maily, Liis, Anita, Ardi, Jarmo! (I know there are much more special ones :) )

Also was there Chris - sharing God's Word and some things about EC.

We are fishers of men - so EC is one tool how to fish. We experienced already that last year and the result were great. Now we are checking over our provision and then LET's GO FISHING!

I believe, everybody got couraged and are ready to follow the vision and purpose of God!

Coincidentally :)

2009-02-02T23:54:00.007+02:00

One day I took my phone and called one dear friend saying: "Hey, what do you think if I on Sunday coincidentally reach from Rakvere to Paide meet you there and then accidentally we are going to Kunda visiting the other dear friend?
She said: "I love coincidents!"
The other friend said: "You are crazy! But coincidents are great, especially planned ones."
I was agreed but that is not my fault, that there is a little craziesness (grammar is wrong here) - God created me so heheheheee! And not by accident He created us - but with purpose :)
So we realized that "coincident"! That was my best 1st February in this year :)
In that morning my car didn't work - luckily that changed - I thought, she (yes, she is she) didn't want to be outside whole night where were -19 degree in Celsius but I talked a little with her and refreshed - and then she was again obedient.
Then I was in our churchmeeting and right after meeting i drove to Paide - taking Aili (one cool youth) with me. And then I calculated my time wrongly and discovered that i have to drive 83 km with 20 minutes. Of course i respected earthly rules and drove politely 90 km per hour :) and we had really great conversation. So a little we delayed , but most of the church meeting we could be part of in Järvamaa Christian Center.

Do you know that we are branches of really cool tree named Jesus :) If you didn't know that before, now you know! So, hello, Branch! Same TREE - it doesn't matter how long is our distance, we are branches-yehuu!

In the evening we coincidentally reached to Kunda and amazing, we didn't get into any trouble - enjoyable girly night - we needed that :)
Thank you my friends, that you are open to those "coincidences."

One of "coincidence victim" Riin :) on 2-th Feb at our lunch table after hard shopping - heheheheheeheheheheheeee!!!! The other "victim" was Liis - but I forgot to make pic :(

I want to courage you, if you don't have happenings - then make them happen and you see how special day you and your friends get!

Happy birthday; Anita :)

2009-01-26T16:45:00.008+02:00

... what you had already last tuesday :) I was a little worried that I can't be part of your party because of my work, but your quests weren't very hungry last night (good choice)heehheheee - so you called today , that there is left some cake - heehehheheheeheee! Now i am coming soon :) but without present - so luckily you don't know that yet and I hope that you open the door :)

But I wanted to say that you are great and lovely God's women and He has gifted you with many different talents. So, be bold - and do so, what He had told to you and you see miracles on your way. That has been privilege to be your friend - you are darling to me. So lot of HUGS!!!!

That was grazy night in Art Caffee :)

That is craziest pic what I found about you - with future elf and soviet milkmaid :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY; HAPPY NEW YEAR; BE HAPPY THAT YOU ARE OLDER THAN LAST YEAR; HAPPY YEAR - WHEN YOUR DREAMS WILL BE FULFILLED!

Uniquely Special

2009-01-24T01:34:00.010+02:00

God created us so unique, so special - very often we even don't understand that. Last evening - i could be together with 25 uniquely special girls. And God remembered that again to me how unique we are in His eyes.

That time was so awesome. We did this time our youthmeeting separately - girls and guy (guys were in the other place in sauna, they had extremly cool time also).

We drove away with girls - to find out where is our landing place and only a little we got lost - but that didn't bother us :), but made us more joyfully. We just were somewhere in a dark middle of the fields and snow. But finally we found our small and cool cottage.

For me it was so special to get know each other stories - and these were special ones. Already in the cars Maria gave assignments, what united our teams more, later we had to play that in our party place.

WE LAUGHED A LOT! Some girls who were first or second time in our youthmeeting were amaze how happy and full of joy are christians - everybody were like little suns :) So I believe that already very soon we'll meet with those lovely girls again and can hear new stories what God has done in their lives :)

God's Princesses in girls special eve :)

Show program...
... dancing and singing (that is amazing what girls could figure out while they were driving in the car about 30 minutes- LOT OF TALENTS :)

Special course mostly homemade :)

BLESSED GREETING TO EVERYBODY! See you next time :)

Shining People

2009-01-21T21:47:00.013+02:00

Have you ever seen, person who really shines :) ?

I have, quite often - mostly when I am in the church or together with christians. Sometime to the non-christians seems that those people are very weird - too much happiness, too much joy - but no drugs, alcohol or something else :) , but there is something what keeps them shining all the time.

I am really happy, that I am belonging also to that company heheheheheheeee! But it is not coming by myself - but it comes from God. You experience that, when you are getting to know Him, and what plan and purpose He has for you life. You are like coming out from prison to the freedom - and that makes your spirit, soul and body shine! Freedom in God!

Shining Maria and Mariliis - In somewhere Otepää road :) (last weekend)! We were in Risttee Church camp - and that is how we spent our free-time :=)

FREEDOM!!!

Where is SUN on SUNday?

2009-01-11T19:01:00.003+02:00

WHERE IS SUN on SUNday? Have you though about...

Outside is already dark - I almost slept whole day - only in the morning I was in church :) so, today i haven't seen much daylight, but i met with my SUN on SUNday. That was again deep and close experience.

SUN was warming my spirit, He was talking with me - already in the morning. Already, when i finished work (even before that) and came home, thinking I am too tired for SUN today. That is lie. You are never too tired for SUN, He is refreshing you, giving strength and joy, even when you are thinking that SUN is too shiny or hot or straight. You need your SUN for everyday life - there is always something special for you. I repented AGAIN!

My SUN, My GOD!!! Thank YOU!

SO COOL...

2009-01-07T19:48:00.005+02:00

Happy this year - SO COOL - for me it is amazing to think that already 2009. Hard to deal with that :) but i will manage - if i look my scedule - I'll see so many exciting plans are ahead.
But first thing what i want to do - is to look back.
Some of my COOLEST friends already knows that we escaped away with Maria and Signe - heheheheheheeee! We just needed to log off from everything ... maybe you never ever have felt that feeling - but i tell you - ONE DAY YOU NEED THAT - doing some a little crazy stuff with God :)
On the 29th to 31.december, 2008 We did little road-trip to Soontaga (somewhere in the south) but i won't talk about much, but i will show it to you :) I want only to say that it was really great way to end 2008 year. PS! Sorry it is in estonian - so if you want to understand that - study language ;) real challenge for this year hehehheheheheheeee! Here it comes...

The day before Christmas Eve

2008-12-23T11:23:00.005+02:00

We are very often talking about Christmas Eve and that is really important - for me there is a very huge meaning. But what happens the day before that?
Usually it is 23-december - so happy birthday to all friends: MOMM, RIHO, EVA!!!!! I can sing a song - but the present for you is that i won´t :P so they can all save your ears hehehheheee!
The day before that .... i woke up at 6:30 am (it was hard - and that was only my friends "fault" :) they didn´t said to me that i have to go home in a wise time.) And then Maria called - cool - that was fun and i even almost didn´t sleep yet.
.....day before .... morning procedures :)
.....day before .... breakfast at 7:00am (this time mushrooms) heheheheheee - yes, yes - i know nobody eats mushrooms at 7 o`clock in the morning - but now you know one person who does that - little weird - but for me is quite strange to be normal.
.....day before..... read Bible :) refreshing!!!
.....day before..... looking for my car (here it is right under the snow - yehuuu! Winter, you are showing your clothes already the day before ..... cool - i am already exciting about christmas Eve!!!) Some morning exercises with car and then to the journey to hospital ehehheheheeee!!!!
.....day before .... i went work ( so it means - i am at work now too - as you see - i am doing hard work hehehheheheeheeee). and if i be honest really that is my hobbie and now i can deal with my hobby for 24 hour - so i hope that is special time!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

- "Hello WINTER - plz to meet with you". So now you have been here already 1 hour and 30 minutes. So how are you feeling - and do you have some expectation in this year in Estonia?"
- "Hi! Thank you - your estonians - your welcoming is quite often very warm for me! Estonia is always in my heart, I even wanted to come earlier - almost got in, but with your warm hearts you just blocked me and said that come in Christmas time."
- "Yep - in those times we have different occations - and you have really special place there, so because why we didn't want that you are coming earlier. And if i be honest - when you came in November for a while - people heart were changed :)"
- "Yeah, i was surprised myself also - suddenly i saw how open were estonian people - usually they are doing by themselves but now they were helping each other and supporting - even that for some days were quite hard for you."
- "Yep - it was interesting time. So - i hope that Christmas time is much more special. Now i will let you go - and do what you have to do - BUT WISELY :)"
-"See you! I have little present for you - white hat for your car!"
- "Aaa! So lovely - thank you!"

Quests at ART_CAFE

2008-12-20T00:10:00.010+02:00

So when youthmeeting ended - suddenly we discovered ourselves in a special - place ... wow ... something interesting ART_CAFE. Special eve - because there were all God creatures - very different with all their talents. It is really hard to explain - so I just have to show all to you - please don't be afraid - those are only pictures. And in the beginning i just want to say sorry - that i publish those pictures - but i know that only some special people are reading that ( so Maria, if you are hearing me here - give me call :P !!! )
So let me introduce you some parttakers :) and we made there some art :)

In alphapetical order:

Here comes Anita - perfect - full of joy and full of art.

That hits you really strongly!

So - be careful!
That's the woman - Maila! Terrible - i didn't have any crazy pic about her - so sad ..........

But i promise that one day i will find something :)

Maria - at the moment (in the pic) most spiritual person in a room. She almost flies - and the most important thing is that red paper - so you can ask from her what was in that paper - i can't tell - because it is secret :)

Meeme - last but not least!
That is special pic - so i hope that you are not reading that blog :)

As you saw ART_Cafe is really strange place - where are strange people - but if you are enough bold then you can come there!

Final - finally :) ... finished - Bye-bye vacation!

2008-08-19T10:03:00.014+03:00

Merlika and Riin

Saaremaa was also great - we met there Maila and did something really big - went Cinema :) (DIVA) Narnia: Prince Caspian - SO GOOD! For me it doesn't matter, that i have seen that once :)

Riin went with Maila's friends to local church in the night - (it was already 22:00) but today eve i was so tired - (maybe old heheheheee) that i went to our sleepingplace - but already in the morning we saw eachother :)

Picking up Maila, we drove to Muhu - there is a really special person - Kaia and horses - ou, we had there such a great time :) But they don't like Opels - so i didnt take any horse to my car. :)

Let me introduce: Elbus and Kaia

Two beauties!

Locals welcoming Maila :)

After visiting Horses be began to drove back - full of good mood, tiredness and lot of different experience needed to go back home. But before we needed to catch our boat :) I was so wishing that maybe there is a little stormy weather - then it is so fun to be in the boat :) And dreams came true: little more windy - yehuu!!! New hair :)

Maila just said, that she is seasick :) i didn't believe her - heheheheeeee!

Maybe now i believe...but luckily she stayed alive :)
And soon - very soon we were already on the ground.

Then suddenly we saw one Lonely Knight - and of course we had compassion and went to welcome that place :) For sure we go there back :)

Riin and Maila in the knight hall!

And then we reached to Maarjas's birthday :) yehuuu - party - we love parties! happy birthday Maarja!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FRIENDS... SEE YOU .... SOMEWHERE ON THE ROAD...
18-th, August, 2008 - 23:30, Monday Night

On the 3-rd day....

2008-08-17T15:15:00.037+03:00

...we woke up, we discovered that we are in London – it was gray, rainy and sun was shining behind the clouds. But we were happy – I was sleeping when Riin already took apart a pray-hour with local pastor at 6 o'clock. I was calmly with them (in my dreams at upper-room). There we spent night (Kärdla Baptist Church) THANK YOU!

At 10 or after that we packed our things and with joy we went travel around Hiiumaa.

There were lot of weather in Hiiumaa - but mostly storm and rain :)

First stopping – Tahkuna Lighthouse – WoW...first and the best emotions.

(Wind almost blowed us away – but gravitation and our light-weight did great cowork – and we are still in Hiiumaa).

You see, Riin is fighting with wind!

Before, when i experienced space trip.

Riin and Memory (Dedicated to those who were killed in Estonia catastrophe (1996)

Almost gone by the wind, we had to find some kind of place to rest – we found place, what was over our expectations (5redstar) luxhotel (with sauna, livingroom and so on....)

After then when money ended – we needed to built up our own forestcabin – that didn't give very good shelter.

Riin was volunteer to prepare for us lunch with red mushrooms.

After big lunch us invited to Paris. We had to meet there some famous people under the Eiffel Tower. Luckily we met there man who built up that tower.

[Dedication to Maria: We gave to your flip-flop-shoes possibilty to be on the ground of Paris – look clearly Riin's feet :) You can pay travelcost for your shoes later.]

Suddenly our way was blocked – ambulances, police, fire...men – there were big rally. But our car was so fast, that they were afraid and didn't take us to the race. So we drove by all cars and going to find some warm food. There weren't [ei kippu ega kõppu] nothing – so we reached to Kõpu lighthouse.

That was like big Tunnel :)

Foooood – too early get excited – the worst experience with food....no comments.

[Dedicated to Maria] From Kõpu

IT was still raining and raining and raining. We were happy, because we knew, that we can't spend night in the tent – but weren't no idea – where to stay. We just went to door-to-door asking for shelter. Suddenly we just lost in Hiiumaa forest – that was awful – i was crying almost hour when i found Riin.

REUNION!

We had big quetion all the time where is the Sun but then we saw in the poster, that Tätte and the Sun are in Kärdla today's eve. So then we understood the reason why it was raining all the day in our place in Kassari.
We bought house after when we had our dessert-meal with coffee (that was good one). As you see – our lovely home is pink one – so now you can visit us in Hiiumaa :)

In the evening we had little missunderstanding – because i dared to say to Riin that coffee isn't so strong. But very soon we were friends again – and now i have much more space in my mouth. (By the way, now i spit better than Riin).

Our sleepingroom door :) Riin is coming our and I am coming in :)

And time for interview:
Riin, tell me most exciting experience about today?
Riin: „Actually, when we found our questhouse. I think now i know where i do my honeymoon“
Really? I am happy for you. Just no words.
Riin: „ Efka, I have quetion for you too – how are the roads in Hiiumaa?
Roads are good – but only when we on the right road. Map-reader just read map on the wrong page – but fortunatly Hiiumaa is an island – we can't get lost quite hardly. And it makes our trip much more exciting and we see different towns and villages several times.
Riin: „ Ouch – and who is your map reader! Ok, plz don't answer to that quetion :) So, as i understand – you have travelled long distances.“
Actually yes, everywhere where we saw signs – there were written max longest distance approximately 20 km. (Lot of driving!) And we still haven't kill our car.
Riin: „Something happened? Seriously?“
Mhmm, how to say – on the road one horse almost hit our car (i think, that horse is rassist- hates white Opels) and one big stone decided to climbed under the car and began to scream. But anything didn't fall apart and we gave to my little Opel free evening off. Just letting be alone and enjoying nature for 15 hours. But now is already late night, so we are going to our pink-lovely-little house – to have a pink dreams!

So Riin could also wish what kind of place she would go. She chose PALUKÜLA - Her Village :) (It is connected with her's last name)

So we did there special trip and she said that she will maybe ????????????????????? go to live there and marry in the local church - hehehehehee!!!!!

So we also visited Paluküla church - beautiful :)

So, now we are again together with Riin and I have great possiblity to ask some quetions:

- Riin, what are you doing?

Riin: "Dreaming!"

- So because you had such great day in some special places? Did it impact you so much?

Riin: "Yes, deeply - specially Paluküla"

I almost see tears in her eyes.

- Are you coming back with me?

Riin: "I really would love to stay Paluküla, but at first - church needs to build up. So I am patient and waiting for right timing. Yes, I am coming with you. "

- Thank you Riin, you are so special friend. So you can chose from todays pic your favourite :)

Riin: "Really? I it is SO hard - then I take one and i have quetion for public - how many people are in the cabin?"

- That is really hard quetion? But let our public will quess that :)

Yehuu - i just can celebrate - now i am in real vacation with Riin in Hiiumaa. At the moment we are sitting in one great cafe and enjoying the view to the sea - just ended our dinner and big cups of coffeee :) We needed to just take our time out. We almost don't want to plan anything - we'll just see what happen and do whatever we want. We reach here yesterday - it was my first time to drive here by my car :) it was fun - because it needed to drive a little bit faster - because we had to catch our boat :) Next time we plan just our time better.
Interview with Riin:
- Riin why did u come here?
Riin: "Efka invited and sea was calling - but real reason was that i haven't been in Hiiumaa before."
- So, what were your first emotions, when u arrived to that little island?
Riin: "Actually - anything."
- Wow - you don't like here then?
Riin: "No, no, nooooooooo! I didn't meant that. But i just don't have so big emotions i love that i can be free and have a vacation. It is our second day - everything just is good."
- I heard that you went shopping also? So, did u spend a lot of money?
"Yeah - almost 250 EEk. And i am very happy for my earrings :)"
- These are really beautiful. But did u buy something useful?
"Yes - i am practical person - i bought bottle of water, that is the almost main thing what our physical body needs after air."
- That's good - Efka need such kind clever friend. So i don't want to bother your vacation anymore and i hope that u have really great time in this island. Thank you, Riin, for answering those quetions. Thank you Efka, that you quetioned Riin :)

2007-05-06T22:44:00.000+03:00

In Estonia - lastly spring has came, leaves are coming to trees and everything gets alive! Wonderful - i feel that - i am getting alive too! Like in my spiritual life has spring came. God has given to me also different kind of opportunities - too be just in some conference - where God has so fufilled me with the good food! It is quite hard to describe that feeling and work what God has done - but i feel very strongly that inside of me something has changed for 180 degree. Also at work my collegues are asking - why i am so happy - i don't know! But of course i know - everything is so okey!!! So I believe - that God has given me some resting time, what i can enjoy in Him - Praise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Youthcamp in Avispea - LOSE YOURSELF TO GOD

2007-03-18T22:34:00.000+02:00

- Cup of coffeee and then to work... with preparing team - next to me is Maily - my great friend!

Now I am back from Youthcamp what lasted three days! These events are always so special, because these times changes everytime in me something. It doesn't matter, that usually there can't rest and sleep... but that is YOUTHCAMP and youths never sleep - heheheheheheheeee... so i couldn't sleep much also. But it was so great to see how quickly was "icebreak" because there wasn't only our church youths - yes, that was our church youthcamp with some friends from the other churches. The place was small and there were 40-45 youths but we had so GREAT time!!! I always enjoy when i can be together with youths because they are also my friends too and they are so special to me and i love each of them :)

Maila is designing our wonderful campingplace!!!

As always - our problem is - programming over - hahahaahhahaa! But it was really fun - every person who did something there - it was so great and interesting - of course the best times were we could together worship God and enjoy His presence and listen His voice and Word!

IN the Friday evening - youth are listening main preacher Hanna (18) her adventures with God in Australia - where she spent time for 6 months.

Worship time!

Later in the evening we just took time to pray and worship - that was so special and life changing! Some of the youths just were crying in the presence of God - the others just kneeled!

Morning active action!!! MOVE IT; MOVE IT... - Maily is leading :) And that wasn't slow - no mercy - ahahahahaaa...

Morning pray!!! We need that everyday ...

Looking to the kitchen side too... Liis and Irina - not agree with me, that I could make good pic of them

... Ups, teamleaders sleepingroom - mess as always ... ahahahahahaaaaa... why i am not amazed

Youthpastor Gunnar with fun costume is taking some names from the box - so who is the lucky one and can in the morning wash dishes... LOSE YOURSELF :)

I have much more pic but in the other camera - so maybe if i got some time - i add some pic more ... so as u already see in some pic - we had wonderful time - maybe next time you want to come and join - hahahahahaaaa!

But I am so thankful to God for that camp - Thank U Lord!!!

Already over two months

2007-03-14T22:00:00.000+02:00

Oh, no! I haven't written already for a long time - and so many things has happened! Ok, now I am fulltime working midwife - i graduated - yehuu, and very well! And I really love that work - of course I haven't forgot youthwork also - just preparing for a youthcamp, what is beginning in Friday! So, as u see - all the time is going on something special.

Today most of the time i spend with my very good friend Irka - as u see in the pic - what has made today!

... 5-years and dream is fulfilled

2007-01-12T11:03:00.000+02:00

Now - yehuu - i have finished my graduation work - it feels so good. I feel now absolutely peace in my heart, praise to Lord. Now i can concentrate to the other things, and enjoy. But I am very thankful that i could study in the medical school and now is graduating time - these almost 5 years have gone quite quickly - i even remeber that day - when God told me to go to that school... i can tell :)
It was september, 2001 year and we had three days youthleaders team training. It was study time and Veiko Arume was teaching something. I had little notebook where i write if i think that God is talking... so i was sitting there and suddenly came word inside of me - you are going to medical school and u select midwife profession. I was amazed, because i never ever had thought about to get midwife. But i wrote that down and i didn't tell that anybody.

Time went on - sometime i was praying of that but these thoughts were so funny, because about 1,5 years ago i finshed economical school and got already bachelor degree. But that thought didn't go away. In April i went to that school open-doors days - some of my friends looked at me with amazed "why are you going there? you never have talked about that", but that was in my heart. So this idea went deeper in my heart and i was sure i go to that school - it doesn't matter that it lasts almost 5 years. So in summer were exams to attend to that school and then my parents looked at me too that you are crazy - but they have seen already that these "crazy" decisions usually are later right. So i did these exams and it was peace in my heart - some people asked, but what are u doing then if u don't get to that school - but i said that i get there. (Later i got know that 6 persons wanted to one place :) if i knew maybe that earlier, maybe i could be afraid.

And in the end of August i saw the list and my name was there - yehuuuu - i was so happy - i could attend to that school. My parents were so amazed too, because they said later honestly that they didn't believe that i could get in there.

So i went to that school - i was studied there already for two weeks and one day i was praying - "God, is it your will surely???" Because in the beginnig was quite hard, but i studied with joy, but i needed a little confirm. At the weekend - I went with my youths to the other town to one seminar. There were two english men - who taught about prophecy. And on that seminar, suddenly one man came to me and said: "This lady here, is dealing with medicine" and then he gave prophecy, what i am going to go. I was abslutely blown out - it was huge confirming from God - and all youths were amazed too, because they knew that i just attend to that school.

So all these years of my studies have gone very well - and it was quite easy to study - because i knew that i was in the plan of God.

For me it was absolutely miracle and it is now one dream that has almost fulfilled :) and now i can go on - yehuuu and work as midewife...

It is all the time interesting to do plans with God and u see that then all the plans later will be fulfilled.

Step by step to the next day - 4-th day

2007-01-04T21:25:00.000+02:00

Today I made one really good discover - with God is one day like 1000 years - so it means I have got plenty of time to finish my graduationwork - hahhahahaa - think - 6000 years. It must be good one then, but we'll see that. With God everything will go OK!!! And now I'll go to write that on ...

3-th day of 2007

2007-01-04T00:12:00.000+02:00

So already the third day of the year - (it is middle of the night) and so much has happened - ... what has happened, for example today I learned how to put pictures to the net - uhuuu (big thing for me, because i learned that by myself - and that wasn't absolutely hard)... and the greatest was that i could spent time with very lovely guy ... Kristofer who is already almost 6 month old and he is my neighbour. Nothing special - but i enjoyed the day - how about u??? Did u find what happened good with u today? Think about that and you will see, that there are many thing about what you can give thanks to God!

2-day of 2007

2007-01-02T18:22:00.000+02:00

What a lovely day - it is one step closer to my one dream - to graduate my school - i only have to finish my diploma work and that is all. But it seems that it will be the huge step - hhehehehehee, but with God i will manage, that is right. I got only one week and a one day - to give that work away ... uhhh lovely... not much time anymore

But the 2-d day of 2007 was great too - we went to play bowling and i got the best score what i haven't got, before - 160 points - my personal record - i had to mention that - i know for players it is not much, but .... i am happy - it is so great to having happiness and joy in a small things, it always helps to see life from the bright sight - and then it is easier to fulfill your goals and purposes. The joy of the Lord is my strenght, even when there are some not very happy things - but I have God's power to WIN and I AM WINNER TYPE!!!

...2007 - the best year in my life

2007-01-01T10:35:00.000+02:00

And that is - the year 2007 - cool... why it is the best year in my life - i don't know, but only what i know - it is up of me what kind of year is coming ... what i believe and what i dream - such kind of year will be seem... heheehheee... people usually forget to dream, but we need that - because if you are not dreaming - then it can't be getting true too.
So, lets begin to dream - and i believe that dreaming with God - dreams will be coming true and we'll see that every day will be the best day in our lives!!!
Today i haven't done nothing - only enjoying the day with coffee. But that is at the moment very important - it is like vacation hehheheeee. So happy blessed New Year 2007...
