Freedom with God every morning

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.

Today's discovery

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!

Everymoment with friends is a golden time and refreshed, even when it is midnight!

Love you!!!!

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!
