If I just lay here

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

Lifeline

It's six A.M
I'm so tired
The alarm sounds
And the new day begins
Before I go
And disturb this peaceful moment
I look to You

I want to say a prayer
Before my feet can hit the ground
Lord I give this day to You

I'm amazed how You forgive me
Yesterday seems so far behind
It's a brand new day
And every day's a new beginning
I look to You

~ This Day, by Audio Adrenaline

Sorry silence for so long! I haven't had time to blog much this month. So much going on! November certainly has proved to be so much else than gray dullness - quite the opposite! I want to blog more about it, but just now felt like posting that from Audio Adrenaline. And also came across this song:


Just felt like that is for someone out there.

I'll try to blog soon with my November news!

Love to your day,

Fruits of the Spirit

Just thinking of this this morning.

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”  If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. 

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 

The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;  idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.  Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

love just a little too much

Cause if I'm lost in the desert
I know somehow you'll find me
And if i drive in the ocean, you'll be
The first to rescue me
Its love and risk it all

I'd rather love just a little too much

Decisions, decisions

Hmm, I had trouble signing in to post this blog post, in fact my whole blog was not visible/to be found. I think it was just a trick from Google to get my phone number!! Grrrrr!!!

Anyway,

Here is a Cartoon from yesterday's paper:



from

It is Merkel and Sarkozy, and he says (for those of you who don't speak Finnish):
"We are about to reach a decision of the date when we'll gather to decide about when we'll make decisions."

European Union for ya.

Something I always wonder..

"Jesus told a story of a man who was forgiven a huge debt. Enough to retire on. After he was released from his debt and left the courtroom he found a friend who owed him a little money. Enough for a coffee. His friend couldn’t pay. So he choked him."

From Nakedpastor today.  This is just the beginning of the post, check out the whole post with the cartoon!

Love is thinking of others before yourself

I'll put you in front of me so everyone can see
My love, This is my love

Sometimes you feel like this

But you got the love
I need To see me through
Sooner or later in life
the things you love you lose
But you've got the love
I need to see me through

It was amazing to see this performance at Glastonbury!! So awesome.



It's a beautiful Autumn day here! Beautiful Autumn.

My Saviour's love  Your love is real

Everyone needs compassion

You're my Saviour // You can move the mountains

You are mighty to Save

Kindred spirits

Beautiful photos by Jared Leto:

China from the air.

Seeing these here today made me think of....

By Mimosa:

Over Mallorca

Mallorcan Mountain range

Clearly kindred spirits, eh? ;) 

This trip took place back in 2008. I was a bit unwell, and look sooooo tired in the photos.. It was a research trip, very interesting. Feel somewhat pro now with regard to Mallorca. Ask me anything. Anyway, here's a few more photos to follow the first two:

My very first view of the island

More island from the air

Coming in at sunset

On the plane: Roxana, Alison and me

Straight to the beach!

 

Next morning: +20C or so.

Mallorcan agriculture...

...notice the terraces.


Due to Mallorca being a small island there's huge pressure on land use,
therefore they had to build these terraces to cultivate crops.
