I can´t belive it!!!!!!!!
It´s soooo amazing!!!!
WHO PRAYED???
He,he, yesterday, after finishing work, I FELT THE AMAZING JOY IN MY HEART AGAIN, THE JOY THAT ONLY JESUS CAN GIVE.
I AM SOOOO HAPPY.
Well this is what happened the last days...
I´ve been feeling fine, but I have been wondering soo much about the work we´re doing here. I have been thinking.
Is it any point in keeping it up? Maybe I´m not needed here anymore...maybe I should start thinking of moving back to Norway, go back, back to my old life... Who needs me here? Do I still shine of Jesus light..ot have it burnt out....? Is the dream about creating a creative christian community that have a space for everyone maybe not a good dream anyway...should we give up....maybe it´s best to just give up.... nothing happens??...the seeds that have been spread all over Iwaki...maybe they´re all just been landing on the stone ground and been burnt up by the sun.( matt. 13.3)
«En såmann gikk ut for å så. 4 Og da han sådde, falt noe ved veien, og fuglene kom og tok det. 5 Noe falt på steingrunn hvor det var lite jord, og det skjøt straks i været fordi jordlaget var tynt. 6 Men da solen steg, ble det svidd og visnet fordi det ikke hadde fått slå rot. 7 Noe falt blant tornebusker, og tornebuskene vokste opp og kvalte det. 8 Men noe falt i god jord og bar frukt: noe hundre, noe seksti, noe tretti ganger det som ble sådd.
I have been thinking soo much. And the work has been a little heavey latly, well heavy as the feeling like nothing happens...working for nothing kind of..
And yesterday we got a new complane from the neighbour company about customers of ours that has been parking on their parking spot...So yea, ther is no room for people to park...
It maybe doesn´t sound like a big deal to you, bur for us ,it was just another kick in the stommack...
But , yea when I think about it...the things that happens EVERY TIME something good starts happening at Lighthouse , the warfare comes with it, we get problems that is not really problems and it makes us wanne give up and we feel soo heavy.
So yea, what has been happening latly...let me think...
-Once in awhile it has been new people coming to the worship nights.
-The idea of making a place for selling the creative stuff that´s beeing made at Lighthouse has come up, and is about to happen.
-We have started making food or "Obentos" (like small dinner meal) with the rice boiler and it smells wonderful and makes a nice atmosphere in the cafe.
-We have also started to get regular creative nights at Lighthouse now, so this week it has been people doing creative stuff like drawing, quilting, sewing nitting and so on...every day, and on fridays we wanne dao it regulary.
-Roy has started up guitar lessons.
-I´m still working on starting up a Norwegian course in the near future.
-I´ve started a band together with my best friend her in Japan.(3 girls)
-Me and another amazing friend has started doing drama together, so we practice at Lighthouse.
There has been some people coming that i belive is gonna be more and more important for Lighthouse in the near future.
Well good things is happening...but warfare comes too, so please keep on praying for us:)
AND TO THE BEST PART,he,he...
Yea as to you who regulary has been visiting my blog, you have heard that I met the police about over a year ago...
I was skateboarding to my work with my guitar on the back, I always used to skateboard in the streets before, it makes me sooo happy. I skateed everywhere and passed by all my friends shop , and stopped by soo easily. Skateboarding like that really gives me sooo much joy in my heart.And that joy spreads out to everyone I´m passing by:)
But, yea...I meet the police and they said I couldn´t skateboard at that time...I was soooo sad...almost started crying...
So from that day, I never skateboarded in the streets again, because I don´t want to do anything I have been told not to do...so for over one year...
But yesterday after work as i was walking with Motomu the police all of asudden stopped us......it was dark, and rained...????
So strange....why did they stop us??..yea they wanted to check my bicycle and see it I had registrated it???
(I think they were kind of bored because it was nothing to do..that´s why..he,he)
I had no ide about that stuff..anyways, they started to talk to us, and of cause they had to check my forigner card and they started ask about Norway, and we acctually all had a nice conversation, laughing together and smiling...
Motomus skateboard was in the basket of my bike, so they started to talk about skateboarding...
So I just HAD TO ask about skateboarding in the streets, why I can´t skateboard in the streets.... we told them all about how nice it is to use skateboard instead of bicycle...And then I hear it..they said something about that it was ok......
I asked again...just to make shure ...
"OK, so I can skate on this strees if there is no people around and I don´t jump around ????"
And he said it!
HE SAID: Yes ,you can.. (case by case)...while he was smiling.
THE JOY JUST FLEW INTO MY HEART!!!!and went through my whole body...and into my eyes. I had to jump..almost dance.
IT WAS AMAZING!!!!
I AM SOOO HAPPY!!!!!
...and they saw it too...he,he..
So after they went away I was just so filled with joy that I almost couldn´t controle myself :)
Well... maybe for you guyes ,this sounds alittle strange that I could be sooo happy about this litte thing, but the reason is that I have been praing for this to happend for over one year, I have kind of, with a half joke, asked people to pray for this,
so for me it was like Jesus gave me the best gift and saying.
"Nina, everything is possible for me."
So now I see hope here. I can skateboard again, I´m free:)
THANK YOU JESUS MY BEST FRIEND!!!!!!!
