I am thinking about two things.
If you have real truth. Solid Truth. Him. King of Truth. You can see the fruits of the truth. Freedom. Joy. Peace. Patience. Gentleness. Love. Kindness. Goodness. These are things you can see. Experience.
Muslims. They live a life of fear. Where is the freedom? Where is the joy? Where is the relationship? My heart brakes for them. They are living a life of bondage.
This guy in Florida, what he is doing is wrong, but the Muslim's response to this does not make much sense either. All I see is anger and hatred. I know not all Muslims are like this, and its easy to stereotype them all.
But what is the fruit of your life? "Your" truth?
Jesus, I am so thankful you ARE Truth.

Yes!
Well
I am in the mood to write a tad bit.
I started Norwegian class last thursday. Its so good to be there and finally be able to understand sentence structure and learn what the words mean. I am looking very much forward to when I can be able to talk at a decent level. My heart really wants that.
God is showing me a lot of different things. I guess things that have been sticking out a lot to me lately:
1. There is so much noise in the world. I was laying in bed and just outside my door 6 people talking, one playing the guitar. My room mate beside me talking to his girlfriend and I can hear her muffled voice. Music in the background. The loud vehicles driving by. The club across the street with its crazy loud music. Then I thought about King David. When he was a shepherd, out and alone with his sheep. Or when he was in his big palace and he was alone in his room. It must of been so quiet. No airplanes flying over. No helicopters. Just stillness and quietness. I think its hard for us to be in a place like that because its so rare. We are not used to it. I imagine it to be easy to hear God's voice. It would be crystal clear. "Be still and know that I am God" "In the stillness you are there." (the second one is a song...but I wouldn't be surprised if it had been takin from the Psalms somewhere.
2. ALL I have been reading Colossians, a detailed study. Something that sticks out to me is the word "All." Its everywhere in this book. About God. About the fullness of Him, His plan, Jesus, his presence. Its all. Everywhere. Nothing missing. Every detail. All all all all. Nothing goes unnoticed.
Speaking of Norway. Its expensive. I am going to buy two pairs of ear plugs. 50 Kroners. Also known as about 10 dollars. Yes!
So, as we all know. I staff the DTS...its great. I could tell you about some of the staff. I don't know all of them that well...but the ones I do know, I will write a short thing about:
Markus: The leader, amazing guy. He has tons of wisdom, a great leader, and is form Norway.
Theresa: Co-leader (leader)...Norwegian. Still getting to know her. Engaged to Magnus
Oyvind: Co-leader, he is a great guy. I think of him when it comes to the verse, "they will know us by our love for each other" Norwegian
Magnus: Norwegian. Still getting to know
Eva: Norwegian. She is really cool. She has a big heart for discipleship and worship. She gets really excited to see people connect with God.
Ragnhild: Norwegian. She is also really cool. She has a huge heart, with lots of joy and passion for God.
Guy Helge: Norwegian. Don't know him all that well, but you can see he has passion for God and his word.
Hannah: The Dane (danish). She is really cool. She has a ton of wisdom and can really speak into peoples lives. She is a real person, who is good at listening to people. You can tell she delights in the small things out of love for God.
Elisabeth: German. From the dts last year. She has a lot of knowledge...very smart. Still getting to know her.
Katharina: German. From the dts last year. Don't know her all that well. Look forward to seeing how God has made her.
Jaanika: Estonia. From the dts last year. I don't know her all that well. She seems to be prophetic though. I will get to learn some about her this year.
Jo Yngva: Norwegian. He is a new staff like me. Cept this is not my first year at the base. He is really cool. I am still getting to know him. He is pretty funny, he seems to listen very well.
Annalisa: Norwegian. She has a heart for people getting hearts for missions. She wants to see the young people's hearts wrecked for God.
Ana: Norwegian. Still getting to know her. But she is also really funny.
This is just what I have seen of the people. They are who I will be working with all year. I am excited. We will see what happens.
I have typed a lot. I did not check for errors. so forgive me.
Bye
