Discernment

Brian Heasley from 24-7 Ibiza has written a really good piece about Discernment. Do read it! I'm one all for discernment.

80s, Baby!

This one's for Reija-Riitta.. =) ..and everyone else! Vicky Rosti and Finland's entry to Eurovision Songcontest in 1987 :)

Off to Helsinki

I'm off to Helsinki tomorrow for a few days, so thought I should maybe write a few lines before I go. Christmas period will be finished by the time I get back! O-ou. So quickly it goes by each time. At the start of this new year, for the last, oh well, two days ;) that we have been in to this year, what I feel is thankful. I'm feeling really really thankful. I'm thankful about life in general. Basically I just realised that Im glad to be alive and I love my life! And I feel thankful of all my friends!! I'm so thankful of you guys!! That you are in my life. Each one of you is precious to me and each one a unique add to my life.

I've been in Lahti now for two years (huh! crazy! is it two years really? Where has the time gone?) and I feel really thankful to God for all the relationships and friendships that I have here, my life in here. This is the second time in my life actually that in three years I have created a life somewhere "new" (ok, Lahti was less new when compared to Glasgow..but still.. =)) But everyone in Lahti, thanks for being. Most of the time I have been feeling like fish on dry land (well sometimes :)) but you have made it easier! And all my friends everywhere else on this globe, I am thankful for yous and love you as well, as you should know!!!!

Ok, so I think you get the general idea =) I love you all. What would life be without friends.

Ohh PS. just to ensure that you guys will have some laughter and fun in the start of the year..Don't miss these two videos!! :D

Armi ja Danny (sooo hilarious...)

Finnish Disco With Åke Blomqvist (get out of your chair and try it out!)

Happy New Year!

Haha, this is funny. Check it out. Kinda makes you feel like it was inspired by John Eldredge's book "Wild at heart" (love that one. Oh and I remember the time when Jaakko called me to sell me a mobile phone contract and it ended up me selling him the book! Now who's the seller! ohh those were the times =)) But yeh, here's Bradley Hathaway with "Manly Man" =)

Så som i Himmelen

She's an amazing singer! We watched this movie not long ago. I thought there was something familiar in this actress singing in the movie! and then I realised it was her! Her being Helen Sjöholm who sings in my Kristina från Duvemåla single "Du måste finnas" (Now theres an amazing song! Unfortunately youtube didnt cater me for that..except some dutch version. I may be a language buff but I have to draw the line somewhere!) There's something Julie Andrews-like in Helen, don't you think? Oh and Sade, this one here is for you, it made me think of you!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Only God is God

This is one of my favorite songs of all time, love it!! It is an amazing live performance in the White House. So here goes, ladies and gentlemen, Steven Curtis Chapman with "God is God".



It's all about recognising His sovereignity...He is my God. and I love being His child. Worshiping Him, I hope my life brings glory to the One who created me. He loves me, sooooo loves me. And that is what changed my life, for good, 15 years ago. Understanding Hehis love for me. His love has changed me, and keeps changing me! (And Im still on the road of discovery of His love for me)

Actually the other day I was reading about Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 17-19. I love it how even when we make bad choices God comes out to rescue us when we call out to Him! (Jehoshaphat , king of Judah, had allied himself with Ahab king of Israel through marriage, and this was not a good alliance for him, for all its influences. Ahab wasn't a godly man and only sought his own good) Jehoshaphat went into battle with Ahab in Ramoth Gilead though the prophet Micaiah warned about it, and Jehoshaphat ended up being betrayed by Ahab.

"but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him."
2 Chronicles 18:31

God still helped! When Jehoshaphat called out to Him!

In 2 Chronicles 16 you can read about king Asa (And the chapters before it). They were different kind of leaders and had different leadership style; or mostly the kings either served God, recognised that their authority came from Him or they didn't. And the difference between Jehoshaphat and Asa was that even in sickness and in his old age , Asa didn't turn to God for God to help unlike Jehoshaphat inthe midst of his distress. I'm sure God would've been there for Asa too in an instant, if he simply had turned to Him.

Oh also liked this post by Brian Heasley about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, they are some of my favorite guys in the Bible! Who and what we bow down to..

Oh, how great are the riches
of His wisdom and knowledge
How unsearchable for to Him and
through Him and
from Him are all things

So let us worship before the throne
Of the One who is worthy of worship alone

(Lyrics from the song above)
