Well, what can I say? It has been as amazing weekend! On Friday morning I had a music lesson with Vivia, who has got it in her heart to help me move forward with my music;singing, piano, and music theory. It was so great having lessons again! My music, it seams, has more or less been on the shelf lately, but now I feel it´s a new season! It´s so good! Thank you Vivia!!!Friday afternoon I spent at Anette´s place, just chilling (and helping out carrying her new washing machine). Then in the evening there was Youth and Rune Borgsö, a Norwegian from Sweden, was preaching. It was such an amazing night, and God really moved in that place among the youth!
On Saturday I had lunch with a girl from church,Viktoria. We had a nice time together, enjoying both delicious food and desert. From there I went on to Põlva, with Anette and Sigurd. Usually there is a youth meeting, but this Saturday it was for the younger youth, and it was great to see some new faces! As we headed back to Tartu, a sister and friend from Põlva, Mona, came with us as well, as she spent the night at Anette´s place. The two of them went on, so Sigurd and I decided to go watch a movie at the cinema. But as there was none that we wanted to watch, so we ended up renting one movie and having a movie night with pizza and ice cream!
Today, Rune was preaching at the Sunday meeting, and it was another amazing service! The preaching was so inspiring and it really stirred up something fresh in my spirit! He was talking about mission, and how to reach out to people. He was sharing some of his experiences from the mission field. He peached about the temple and the stream from Ezekiel 47, and how we get dry if we only stay inside the 4 walls of church, but how there is a fresh flow in the Holy Spirit when we step out and reach out to the people in need! We don´t need to get so stuck in traditions and how things usually are done, but to listen to what the Holy Spirit is showing us about each situation! He also talked about Jesus and the woman at the well from John4. We need to be like Jesus and look for people in need, and not be so occupied with our fleshly needs, (like the disciples who were hungry and went to find some food). We need to break out from our cultural and social boundaries and reach out to all people! When we do the will of the Father, we will be satisfied! The preaching was so good, but I can´t share all of it here, so you only get a glimps of it! Then he also got alot of words of knowledge, and when people responded, and got prayed for, God touched them and moved in a wonderful way! How amazing is God! The Holy Spirit knows exactly our needs! And He wants to touch us and change us! Let us be open for God to be used and to reach out to others!!!

that's soo cool... you know... it's kinda been the theme at my church the last month... to reach out to people around, and it's been on my mind for quite some time... Brian was preaching on it before I left as well... makes me wonder if there's something God really wants the church to finally get!?!?!
