Hi all……

It’s been a while already, but life is busy! There’s too much to say, so I just want to take a few monets to tell you that when you fins yourself in a senseless cirkle and feel like nothing matters, it’s time to pray, leave yourself behind and go forward in faith, OPEN to what THE LORD has for you in stead of planning your own way!
Before I came to the Ark, I felt that I needed to cling to my job because it was a well paying one that would help me with my financial needs. I was growing more unhappy all the time and didn’t find any purpose in my life as far as what I was doing on daily basics.
All of a sudden, my TRUE need became clear to me, and no matter how I needed financial security, after I just went in faith and followed the need that I felt, to do something useful and with purpose for the Lord my life became a very, VERY happy one. Honestly I don’t know how my bank account looks at the moment, I hardly ever check, but I know that I’m not lacking of anything, and what is far out more important then a nice bank account (something I don’t know…:)) is that my heart is HAPPY to do what I do now. There is so very much challenge in following the Lord, and people that think that being a Christian means a “dull life” is very mistaken. It may be a picture that some Christians have given over time, but if we TRULY!!!! want to follow the Lord in faith and ARE OPEN!!!! to step out and folow Him, there won’t be another dull moment, because life with Him is not always easy, but ALWAYS exciting and challenging!!!!!

P.S. We may not see fruit of our work, but He sees it! Knowing that He owns a HOME with GOLDEN streets, shouldn’t it give us rest that He knows the fruit of our work more then when we do????

My eyes just read the words “Global warming”, is that so???

I had no intention to write anything about this theme, but by loggin onto my blog my eyes met those words on the way…
Global warming here, global warming there. It’s funny how we are all concerned about this temporary ball called Earth.
The discussion if we are even dealing with Global warming or not is a hot topic today.
Why is everybody so busy thinking about the Global warming when there is something else going on that is MUCH WORSE???
Can you guess what it is?
What gets my attention much more is the global cooling off of the human hearts!!! People close to their death bed say out loud that they just don’t care about any Gospel message and say that the Bible is a fairy tale. Others get upset when they hear about “end times” and say in furious manner that we live TODAY. They are right, but is any human being created to be contented with TODAY just like a cow eating grass not caring what is outside the field? Even a cow is interested in his surroundings!!! I don’t know much about cows, but I am always amused when I walk by a field with my dog and all the cows look at this black four footer with great attention.
Are we not more then cows? Were we meant to think just about today? No!! That’s why we want to save the world, so our children can live tomorrow. What if this world perishes anyway? Why not put our effords into something that is secure and lasting?
That is exactly what we were created to do, to live forever in a perfect environment. Fairy tale? For human thoughts yes! But….. After Christ went to heaven, He gave us His Holy Spirit to have hope and comfort, but also to understand the Word and Plan of God.
Global waming may be invented or true, but trying to save this world won’t get you anywhere since God is going to destroy this world anyway because of it’s sin and unbelief.
Global cooling off of human hearts? Yes! Even the Lord says: where will I find faith?
So, is there anything WE can do? Yes there is! “Be faithful until death and I will give you the crown of life”!
It’s a global cooling off of hearts rather then a Global warming, but for those of you who know to have warm hearts for the Lord- STAY PUT AND BE FAITHFUL FOR THE LORD HAS NEVER FORSAKEN TO FULFIL ANY OF HIS PROMISES!!!!!!!!
Be not concerned about a temporary world, but give it all when it comes to the matter of eternal hearts, your own-, or someone else’s……

Thanks my faithful blog friends!!

A big hello to you again!
A while ago I shared about my new job. I thought that these office hours would give me more time for my hobbies, but it turns out my work has become my hobby and there are few minutes left for other things! And it feels GREAT!!:) Now when I’m at home for a few days, of course it’s nice to work some in my house and garden, catch my breath and have some quiet, but on the other side you feel like you’re missing out on something!!! Working at the Ark is really great!
Which reminds me on how the Lord has been leading my life all the way, every day that I’ve been here on earth, the Lord was fulfilling His promise day by day that He would NEVER LEAVE ME OR FORSAKE ME!!!
How often I questioned this promise. It didn’t always FEEL that way, I didn’t always SEE it… But looking back I know that the times when I didn’t see or feel it, it was my own fault. At those times I went my own way, had my own schedule and was looking on the waves in stead of to the One that calms the storm!
I have been touched many times by the Bible verse where Joshua is saying the following: And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spoke concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof. Joshua 23:14.
We often think that good things are the things that we like, things that feel good, things that please us day by day. But our Lord God has a deeper way for those that really want to know Him. People that God can use for His glory don’t always get the things that are nice for our flesh. He often has to mold us, break us and shape us to make us free from the limited things that we like, in order to be able to reveal HIS unending beauty, His deep love for us and the rich sources that He wants us to get to so we get a bigger picture of who He is, and a bigger picture of who we are in Him!! Once that picture comes through, often after a time of testing and brokeness, we know what we missed when we just lived for our pleasure, because there’s no greater beauty then kowing God, His plan and His purpose. It’s so beautiful! Like purified gold, after dying to ourselves we learn to know what living for Him means and once we do, we know we could never do without anymore! The Lord is so beautiful, and when we may see so much of His beauty and love now, what will it be in heaven when our attention is fully and just on Him!
It’s nice to experience Him now, today, because also here a lot of His beauty is revealed to us, just like Joshua proclaimed! But how open are we to let Him lead us into His beautiful presence? How open are we to go and follow Him so He get’s the chance to become this Beautiful Leader to us?
I have said this before, but when my attention was pointed to working at the ark, I knew in my heart that this was the right thing to do, but my mind was scared of changes concerning money, schedule and practical things like that. It’s two months later now, I never said anything to Johan about these practical things that scared me, but everything has been taken care of beyond expectation! Of course there are things to learn, small things that are like bumps in the road, but there’s also a challenge in learning new things, thinking of how we can improve things the next time and finding out what everybodies qualities are. We’re all doing lots of new stuff that we never did before, but so far things are working good and getting done and the team is slowly learning to work together, yet respecting the other one’s job and staying put with our own.
But as far as I can speak for myself, I know that the Lord has every day in His hands, and what profit it brings to TRUST HIM!!!! I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, but I know that when I remember the days past and reflect on His perfect leading, then I will have trust for what tomorrow brings!
God is good and never failed! It’s good to be close to Him and trust Him in all our ways!! EACH DAY!!!!
With love- God bless you! ( PS: it’s good to be back!!!)
