love. jumping up n down of excitement. speachless. searching for words..
so u get it that we had the bestest camp again!!
God was faithful in every way, and He did grater things tha we could have ever imegined. It’s so nice to see how He doesn’t leave us alone, but answers with greater things than what we ever asked for.
No rain. that was perfect.
I’m very tired right now. 7h of sleep all togheter during the weekend.. haha. that’s typical camp.. and for once it was not me staying up.. but not being able to fall asleep because of our lovely teenagers.. but that’s just the normal way it always is.
one of the best things with camp is (there is many many many many goooood things, but they are not really blog-material) that now everyone is all fired up for this semsester. myself included. I can’t wait until the coming week with all our planning-meetings and our youth-meetings that start… and then the following week we are back on track with our routines. *love* it’s gonna be so good, and I expect great things to happen this fall!
now I’m gonna do some unpacking is low-motion, as I’m not really capable of thinking right now, and that is a easy way of staying awake for 2 moore hours.
I’m doing my best not eat too fast. and then it’s good to write at the sam time, as fingers are occupied with something else than stuffin food into my mouth. to eat slowlys is important when one eats the first meal of the day at 2 o klock
in one hour I need to be outside my door walking to the church. I’m not really ready to leave yet so I hope I’ll make it. yes I will.
*remembered something, running to put the iron on*
I’m so excited for this weekend. It’s gonna be so good! I invite u to join us in prayer for this camp.
haha I’m so excited for many things. like for example how God always shows His faithfullness. It is not going to rain when we need to be outside! It’s lovely that we can count on Him doing His part, when we do ours. And He has never let us down.
now my food is gettin gcold, so I’ll give it my undivided attention. See u Sunday!!
now it’s a little bit moore than 24 h ’til we leave to CAMP WILD KIDS!
we’ve been workin’ and praying and practicing and planning and a lot of other stuff. of securite reasons no pictures will be posted before the camp.. (some of the kids might see and that would not be good *super secrecy*) but I must confess that I haven’t done as much this year as I usually do.. but the last days are always packed with program.. and the list of things needed to be done is actually getting a bit shorter.. all though there is a great deal of time-taking things still undone.
but heey, the day is still early and yes.
I love this thing called camp. its so great to work alot and the best thing about working with God is that He always shows the rewards. I’m convinced that alot of good things will happen this weekend and we expect Great Things to Happen. Good is Good and Mighty to Save.
And I know that this Camp will be a great launch for this whole semester. God is going to continue proving His faithfullness to us and always overdream us by doing a great deal more than we ever could have imagined.
There is nothing more satisfying than to be where God want’s one to be and to Do what He has planned for one to do. There everything falls in place and just gets solved. Always.

to be able to be in my own home and drink water straight from the big jug and eat sowercrackers by the computer.
now life is getting started again. I love it. this is the reason why I live and why I’m here. Todaa was spent in Betel and the hours just flew.. with preparations, yout-meeting, planning camp, practising for camp.
yes our CAMP is coming up this weekend. and I feel the desperate urge to write a couple of lists and to buy a bigger calendar. I was a little bit too optimistic when I bought this small one
I need to cover a wall.. I can’t look at it anymoore.. but now my sowingmachine went away. we’ll have a lovely reunion in Betel tomorrow when some boats will take form. until it comes back I’ll just have to figure something out to cover those nasty looking marks on the wall.
I must say that I enjoy not having so much stuff up here in my appartement. It feels good.. all though it’s kinda troublesome as now we need some plastic tomorrow and I know I have it, but in which box/plastic bag.. need to go down and search. but I think I’ll leave as much as possible down.. .just for the change.
** clothes in piles everywhere ** a pile of shoes ** a lot of apples on my table ** a bucket of potatoes on my sofa ** bags full of random stuff everywhere ** a leak in the sink in bathroom ** boxes, boxes and some more boxes with my earthly belongings in my basement ** a broken coffee-maker in my kitchen ** piles of books and binders here and there ** ugly walls **
I wanna find my towels so I can take a shower.
I wanna get everything in place so I can get back to the daily routines.
I wanna get my home to mine again.
I wanna do a lot more than what I have time for right now.

now I have packed.. I’m still not all done, but almost. I got ALOT of things, as always that’s just the way it is.. especially when I left Karis like 6 months ago and now it’s time to move back. oh my goodness the amount of stuff I ”need”. well I might not need everything everyday, but the moments do come when ”this little wierd thing” is exactly what we need.
hey by the way, a lot of Congratualtions to my sister M who got a new job!!! I can’t say yet what kinda job it is as I don’t know for shure and I don’t it in english and I don’t have the energy for it… but I’ll let u know later on.. but it sounds really very exciting!!
From my list yeasterday I did everything but 2 things, and that was packing and looking for stuff.. but now that’s almosta done.. then we’ll eat and leave.. so I think I’ll go on working.. so I can fill up the car and leave
It’s gonna be great to get back to my life in Karis. I’ve missed it ALOT. and now I’m all eager and full of inspiration to get everything started again!!
…to sit by the computer while having something in the oven. especially when it’s a cake with meringue on top. the reson for the cake is my mom’s birthday. and I think its unexeptable that she would have to bake her own cake.. and since grandma has forgotten how to bake anymoore, I need to do it. but I like it and I’ve learned something new.
it’s just kinda tricky when the recipe says to keep in oven until it’s nicely brown.. when is it brown enough, but not too much. I hope I’ll know.
because of the birthday today will be little bit different. coffee at grandma’s at 4pm. before that I need to take grandma to the big citymarket outside the city so that she can by me a new coffee-maker.. there is a nice one on sale there. and I need to get a present for my mom. and before that I need to go to my old work place and see if they have any books I can borrow for my thesis..
now the cake is out and I can relax. it looks allright.. but that I won’t know for shure until later when we’ll eat it.
now I need to go over to finlex.fi and study a bit law.
yesterday when I was driving home in the worst thunderstorm ever the electricity went and everything around me turned dark. that felt scary. and today while driving to pick up mom from work I could see how further down on the road it started raining so hard that I could actually see the the ”wall” of the rain. that was amazing.. it was raining so hard that one step outside would have made u soaking wet. I wanted to be outside but I couldn’t.
All this rain made me think of a song.. this song has been repeat one since the beginning of the internship in NY.. and the months after.. now I must say I’m starting to walk on water again.

today it’s monday. but I’m still not feeling it. THE mondayfeeling has been ruined the past months as monday was our day off in NY.. but soon.. in a couple of weeks to be exact I’ll have it back. the feeling.. I can imagine how it feels.. it starts on sunday-night when I realize that it’s monday when I wake up the next morning.
monday means new week. new week means new beginnings. new beginnings equals that things u are waiting for are a bit closer.
today I can say that I’ll go to My City this week and that our camp is NEXT WEEK. thats the lovely about mondays. suddenly things from the future are next week..
and that gives me the spanking I need to get things done. I know myself too well….. I knew it would be like this all though I tried not to have it like this. but its not as bad as it could be. but it could always be better. now I can see why I’m working. so now I’m actually working
I can feel a new semester starting… can’t wait to see all the kids and teenagers again. it’s gonna be so great!
and most of all, can’t wait to live in my own appartment again. to wake up and there only me n Jesus there. is any better way to wake up?
today I wanted to play guitar.. but I realized that the thing u can use to tune the guitar was out of battery.. well it didn’t stop me. I played anyways and it sounded great! hah!

so today didn’t really turn out the way I thought..
when I was getting ready to work at home my mom calls me and tells me one of her colleagues is sick and asked if I can come.. and since I’ve been without any income the past months I can’t say no to a very easy and nice job. especially when it’s the first week and everyone is trying to find their way around..
at the moment I’m sitting here in my mom’s class watching three eager boys doing their math.. and there comes the assistant which means I can stay on the computer a little bit longer.
in other words I’m a substitute techer for immigrant students. I’ve been here before and I love being here. the pupils are very nice and it’s fun to be here. today I’m teacher G but next lesson my mom is going to the dentist so I’ll have both mine and her pupils.. we are gonna watch some pictures from NY how nice is that??? after that we’ll have 2 lessons of home-economics.. which today means going over the whole room and start learning the vocabulary.
it seems like I’ll have to do my own job after school today.

is the word we used for the different places where we did sidewalk.. dictionary says that ”site” in swedish is: plats där någonting särskilt intressant händer.. in English that would be: a place where something very interesting is happening.. hows it that for a short nice word to use in ones thesis
