Happy Half-Valentines Day!!!

August Rush

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

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...

.... 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

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

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

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!!!
