God - the artist

.


The sunset never stop to amaze me. I have been thinking about it lately when I've seen it, it is so beautiful every time, but it is never quite the same. The colours are always so great, goes so well together, but it's never exactly the same, it's such a piece of art every time... How amazing is that!! And what amazes me even more is to think that God actually put it there, exactly like that, today... just so I could enjoy!! How great is our God!!!

Girls Breakfast

Some weeks ago (or months actually, I think... It has taken me some time to get these out here...) we had a breakfast with some of the norwegian girls. Tried to make it as norwegian as possible, with dark bread rolls, makrell i tomat, leverpostei (liverpaté), jam, brown cheese, jarlsberg... you name it... Was SOO good... And we had a great time together just eating and talking.

This is what a norwegian breakfast can look like... sooo good!!!

The girls really enjoyed the food...

Liza, Rebecca and Elise. Rebecca left about a month ago...

Gudrun & Oline. Oline left a while ago as well...

Rebecca, Elise and Trine...

Was such a great start of the day. Unfortunately not everyone could come.. There are some really amazing girls here.. So great to get to know them a little better.

confusion...

I am confused... again, may I just add...
Have you ever felt like that? There's all these things going on inside you, and you feel like you have no idea what's going to happen. You don't have a clue where the road will turn a bit furhter on, an it would just be SOOO good to know!!

Well, I've realized (am realizing, maybe?!?!) that if God don't tell you, it's because you don't really need to know at this point. If you did, He would tell! I just have to let go and trust God.
If I stay close to Him, so I can hear when He speaks, He WILL let me know! So basically, all I need to focus on is to stay close to Him, have open ears, so I can hear Him. And I can be sure that He will tell me what I need to know when I need to know it!


"in the chaos, in confusion
I know You're sovreign still
in the moment of my weakness
You give me grace to do Your will

when You call I won't delay
this my song through all my days..."

Hillsong Conference

So, Hillsong Conference is suddenly over... Have been looking forward to this for so long, and working towards it, and suddenly... it's all over.. feels so weird. I was kind of sad that it was over, yes, it was a full on week, late nights and early mornings, but I seriously think I was blessed to work with the best team ever!!

I was "trying" to coordinate the Kids Worship team, and it was a pretty full on task. Trying to make sure everyone were where they were supposed to, doing what they were supposed to, at all times. A few miss-communications, mistakes, and things like that, but all in all, a great week! I learned a lot, and we had SOO much fun. Where else can you have a water-fight in the middle of the service?!?!?! (Obi, you don't know where or when, but I will pay you back for that... lol...)

Basically, like Mike always says, the first rule for kids worship is, FUN!! And we truly had a lot of fun. Friday night we took it to a whole new level. Seriously don't think I've ever seen the guys so crazy on stage, I was afraid they were going to break something or someone... Just to give you an idea, one of the guitarists were on Obi's shoulders playing... lol... And the kids were so into it. But we also had great God-moments with the kids. Don't think there's anything more beautiful than kids full on, eyes shut, arms raised, in worship. And to be priveleged to be a part of making that happen... I consider it a great privelege, but also a huge responsibility. Friday morning (unfortunately not in my venue, would have loved to see this) they had one of those full on God moments at the Kindergarden to year 2 morning rally... They started of with the worship song and just started singing "Jesus", the singers on stage and the band stopped, and the kids (we're talking 5-7 year olds here!!!) just continued... How beautiful is that!!!

Well, it truly was a great week, and I feel so priveleged to be a part of this amazing team. It was an honour to work with them and do life with them this week, the attitude in this team was just AMAZING! No complaints about early mornings, long hours... I'll put out some pictures of my Kidsong family as soon as I get them.
