Lappis





I've been at Lappis this weekend with some of my friends. Lappis is a Christian conference in the northern forest (Husbondliden), it starts off with an youth weekend and keep going the whole week where it's more extended services and not focus on only one age group. It's been good, although my friends and I feel like we're getting too old for youth weekends. There has been a lot of hanging out, discussions about God, praise and worship and so on. I'm going there next weekend again when I'm on holiday and will be chillin' close to the conference area in my parents cottage. It's only five more workdays left until I have vacation, yey!!!

Btw, I haven't got any pics of my own from Lappis (yet) so the photo's are taken from Lappis website.

He knows you...

Psalm 139(NIV)

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.

4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.

5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, [a] you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"

12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!

18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.

  • You are not a coincidence,God has created you with and for a purpose!!!



Amazing God!


Indescribable
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea

Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
INCOMPARABLE, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
Obeskrivlig
Ifrån himmelens höjder & ner till det djupaste hav

Hela skapelsen vittnar om dig & om allt som du gav
Färgen om hösten, dofterna när det är vår
Allt är skapat unikt för sitt slag, det är gåvor vi får
Vem kan tvivla?

Obeskrivlig är Du, ofattbar är Du
Du gav var stjärna en plats & Du kan varje namn
Du är beundransvärd Gud
Stor & mäktig är Du, värd all ära
Vi faller ner inför Dig & vi tillber ditt namn
Du är beundransvärd Gud

Vem väcker dagen, ja vem tänder solen för oss?
Vem styr vindens riktning & leder när vi kastat loss?
Vem talar till mörkret och låter ett ljus komma in?
Vem håller i min hand & kärleksfullt kallar mig sin?
Nu, för alltid


Obeskrivlig är Du, ofattbar är Du
Du gav var stjärna en plats & Du kan varje namn
Du är beundransvärd Gud
Ojämförbar är du, oföränderlig
Du ser mitt inre men älskar mig om och om igen
Du är beundransvärd Gud

Sugar-addiction?



I've been eating sooo freaking much Swedish sweets and cakes this week the amount is ungodly and ridiculous!!!!
But to be honest...what normal human being can resist those irresistible necessity's? Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, but anyhow...who can? Anyway, it's been a good week and it's only one more week before I go on holiday!!!! I'm going to Lappis this weekend, I'll tell you more about that next week!
Have a great weekend and remember..."Rejoice in the Lord always"!!!!!(Philippians 4:4)



Welcome in....

...I moved approximate three months ago from my parents house to the cutes, sweetest flat ever.The flats area is 36 square meters and it's located close to all the important places in my city (work, core of the city, family and friends). It's God-given for sure!!!!























Matthew 7:7-8 (NIV) "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."

It ended up well

After a bad weather blast-off, this weekend ended up well...a lot of sun and God...can it get any better? I don't think so!

A rainy midsummer day ended up with a clear sky. And I got the chance to be at two very, very different but yet soooo good services. The first one was at Umeå Bibel Center where Harald Höidahl led worship, it was unbelievable good and Gods spirit was so present. After that (around 9ish pm) me and my brothers girlfriend, Bella, went to Norrmjölegården which is a campus in the bush where a lot of churches have summer retreats. We went there to meet up with some friends and ended up having a spontaneous worship/open mic service. And what a service then!!!! I spent the rest of the weekend at UBCs conference(which was awesome!!!!).
God is so amazing and I believe He is stirring up a new generation that is going to have the key role for an upcoming revival here in my country...my nation do need Jesus!!!

Exodus (andra moseboken) 9:16 "But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."
...
are you living your life for this purpose ?








This is how bright it is between 00.00 and 3.00 am here in the north(during summer)...isn't beautiful? (It's me and Bella in the pics)

The weather...





















This is how it should look today....




























...this is the reality...

Midsummer!!!!

Today it's Midsummer day=)
Midsummer is actually a whole weekend (and not just one day) when almost everyone is free from work. We dance around the maypole and just hang out with family and friends (for more info visit MIDSUMMER) .
Unfortunately the weather is not good at all!!!! It's a typical Swedish Midsummer day....rainy and cold, gaah it's so unfair because the last couple of days has been sunny and when I'm finally free from work the weather sucks!!!!

Well I'm gonna have a good day anyway, I intend to hang out with my friends and participate in a worship service tonight...it's gonna be awesome!

My first submission!

So...after a lot of hesitation I've decided to start a blog so that you guys can catch up with what I'm doing now days! I hope you will enjoy and get a glimpse of my everyday life!
