2010

I wrote a whole blog entry about 2010. Month by month.
I deleted it because I wanted to write what God has put on my heart. This is my year of 2010, and God is not finished working in my heart.

2010: God is bringing me back to the man he intended me to be. A man filled with his passions. A man after his own heart. A sensitive man. (that goes against our culture so much as a guy). A man who fights for the King's heart. A man who weeps for what God weeps for. A man made to love (unconditionally, like Jesus). A man with character and values. A man that walks in Truth.
The closer I get to God, the more I learn about me. God is so faithful.

I hope your 2010 was a great year.

Christmas time

I am sitting here. Its Christmas soon. The last three of my christmas celebrations have been in different countries. That is pretty cool. Thailand. Scotland. Norway.

I also turn 21 soon. I turned 18 in the States. 19 in Australia. 20 in Spain. This time on my birthday I will be in Germany. I am super blessed.

Update time? I guess so. I have not sent out a news letter in two months. That is quite a long time. I was aiming for once a month. Time goes by sooooo fast. I have been out of town every other week. But I should be able to prioritize this as something I can do.

We had two teaching weeks on relationships and world view. Then I had a week off on one of the weeks in November, and then a team week to Ålesund. Then December rolled around. We had one team week, and one teaching week. The teaching week was on prayer and spiritual warfare. On this team week I went back to Drammen, which was great. Now I have two weeks off. That is a cool blessing. Here are some recent pictures.
That is a very general update. I guess I can be more personal next time...

John 5:19

"I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does." -John 5:19

Do what the Father would do in every situation, and you will be fine. That is what I have been learning lately. Sometimes its painful though. Sometimes it goes against our nature. It is really hard. I know this in my head, but a lot of the times my heart does not want to do this.

It will always be better for you to do this. God only has whats best for you. Its so simple. Just ask Him.

That is something on my mind. God really really really only wants whats best for you. Always. Sometimes its painful though.

God I really want intimacy with you.

I like this

A muslim asked me what my relationship with God is like. This is what I told him.

"Intimacy. He talks to me through his Word, the Bible. He talks through other people, he speaks into me by pictures, through nature and so on. I talk back with him. He shares his secrets with me. He shows me Love. Grace .Mercy. He is Holy, he is Righteous. He gives me a hug when I need it, and he delights in me. I delight in Him. I walk with him daily. Talking back and forth. He gives me a peace that is full, beyond all knowledge and understanding. He shows me how to love in a way that I can not do without Him. He is a holy God that desires to have a relationship with me."

I just really like that answer for some reason.
see ya in a week.

Ålesund

I will be going there for the week. I had a great week off and then we had lectures for a week on Biblical World View. It was such a good week.

Week off was good. Learned a lot.

I have learned TONS about myself and the people around me. Learning to walk more in the fullness of who God created me to be, and its amazing. Life is amazing to say the VERY least.

This is something I have learned a lot about lately. My role as a son, friend, and brother in Christ in relation to girls.

I hear girls always mention the fairy tale stuff...and never understood. Now I do. Its pretty real.

I read this somewhere that the heart of a girl is the treasure of God's kingdom. To put it short...every girl deserves to be fully pursued. No half hearted stuff. BUT, to only pursue when you have the Holy Spirit's permission. If he does give it to you, pursue the girl with Him...not just yourself. Its an adventure. The girl deserves it sooooo so so so so much. They are so special, and so beautiful.

Thats just me rambling. I guess I could put more...but I will leave it there.

see ya in a week : )

Yup!

I have a week off.

I have 4-5 main things I am aiming to do.

1. Go through the Sozo Prayer teachings.
2. Read a few books.
3. Go through the Spiritual Leadership for Prayer teaching.
4. Hang out with 3-4 particular people.
5. Fill in the blank....
All to be done with Jesus.
Eat food.
Norwegian course.
It will be a good week.

The real question is, can I do it?

I will let you know.
