sometimes there are times when it´s hard to put in words what you experience:)
I´m doing really well these days
just came back from a wonderful weekend in stockholm
where we had 24-7 nordic family gathering.
This time was certainly so encouraging for me,
to hear all the stories of what god has done in the different cities left me amazed, glad and at first also a bit ashamed, realising again that god is still the same that he still knows me,
though i´ve been struggling a lot in the last months to trust and follow him.
Got really excited to hear so many dreams and to talk with people about community,
to pray and drink cofffee together. There was just this freedom to speak out our thoughts
and also to speak out about each other and to each other as it was about jesus and us as family.
Loved to meet Resa, Erikka, Krister and Mathilda again (missed you Laura) and to meet lots of new people with funny connections (like: "didn´t i meet you somewhere in a kitchen in Oslo last year?") and with whom it simply feels so well being with.
And to experience that God doesn´t forget our prayers. He really don´t! I mean sometimes prayer becomes this religious practice of what you do because you used to and anyway it feels good to give things to God, and suddenly i´m talking with this one man in a kitchen and i become so aware that he and his dreams are part of the answer to a prayer i felt i had to pray a year ago and nearly forgot about...
Somehow i feel it´s right to be here, and i´m really looking forward of what to come.
Besides that i had a nice autumn in Denmark.
Exploring the city more, went with a friend to Møns Klint (i know the pic is cheasy and touristic) but it´s nevertheless absolutely beautiful when you are there in the night with the black sea and white chalkrocks...),

reading a lot about migration and integration issues
(some outcome thoughts of it might appear later on this blog),
and "Hygge" (the ultimate danish word for having a nice cozy time together with people you like, candles, music, tea, maybe also some knitting:) books, curryfood,... the list is enlargable
Guys: Have a "Hyggeaften"!!!
