The last summer was simply amazing! My heart is filled with gratitude and joy over the things that happened during those three months that I got to stay in Finland. I think I could share 3 warm memories that come to my mind: ♥Every spontaneous worship moment with my housemate! One really sweet was when (late night after work) we randomly laid down on the floor in the corridor (the weirdest place) and began to lift up our praise to Jesus! I grin when I think of our funny worship/prophetic dances hahaha! I recommend having fun with Jesus to every Christian, serious—ly. Being childlike is perhaps more than just a cute saying :D ♥ Visiting my friend's church's summer camp. The amount of blueberries I picked up sitting in a small hummock is absurd! For some reason God led me that night to chat with those who didn't yet know Jesus. I shared the Gospel in a way I never knew I could! One girl gave her life to Jesus! ♥ When my parents came for a visit. It was so much fun to make food for them and serve them! I have missed them after being 9 months away in Cali and then the summer working in another city. There aren't measurements to rate and compare the seasons of life (simply can't do that) but there is something valuable in finding out the beauty of the "now" we are living in. This is what our lives are like: already living in Kingdom of God that is yet to come. The sometimes uncomfortable journey of living in between — from glory to glory. When you've gone too far to turn back anymore and you've got too far to go to give up either. Seasons change but He remains the same. I can trust that He is always good and that He is always faithful. And guess what, I have recipes saved up for you like for the rest of the year :DD Blueberry Smoothie to brighten up your autumn
Cut the banana in pieces before putting it into the freezer (at least an hour). Slice the apple and cut the herbs! Place everything into the blender and mix until smooth. ENJOY!

Heippa ystävät! Jos sulta jäi näkemättä eka videoblogi, ni sen voi tsekata seuraavasta linkistä! Ylläoleva on pala Bill Johnsonin kirjasta: Face to Face with God (expanded edition), mikä on kyllä niin sisintä lävistävä kirja. Luin sen puolitoista vuotta sitten suomeksi (Jumalan kasvojen alla), mutta tää toinen kerta englanniksi niin nostaa esiin uusia asioita, joita en aiemmin nähnyt! Alla oleva kuva Whiskeytown-järveltä viime toukokuussa! Niin kylmää vettä, mut niin kaunista, vauh. Ja vikaksi Juha Tapion tuore biisi. Kuuntelin sitä ja vaan itkin. Tää on meidän aika nousta ja loistaa! Meidän valo on TULLUT ja se on Jeesus Kristus, eikä oo mitään muuta valoa, mikä pitäisi enää odottaa. NYT on meidän aika loistaa. |
