(that sounds umm strange.. so the rest'll be in FINNISH) kuitenkiin. siis ihana levy... aluks ajattelin et ois ehk vähä yliarvostettu, mut on tää aika huippu.. halusin vaa hengail Jeesuksen kaa ja nooh tos taiteilin tollast piirrustust. nojoo. se on samanlaine ku minkä tos just poustasin mun facebook seinälle :p mut KUITENKIN! se on niinku improved !

Kaikki tää 'testing' (ööö mikä onkaan suomeks heh) nii se vaa tulee vahvistaa mun uskoo!! mut JOOO.. laitan kuvan siit mun alkuperäisest wnb hienost kuvast :p lol.

I'm waiting for the rain to fall down. I want the rain from the heavens. I want to be glorified. I want to be cleansed. God will come down and cleanse me. everything will be just perfect one day.. I love Jesus with all my heart, and that's all that matters..

WAKE UP!

today i've been really thinking about waking up, AWAKENING! and what i'm actually going through here. I read this one part in 'Hungry For More of Jesus' i'll quote it here:

'THE COST OF GOING ALL THE WAY WITH GOD

One of the fastest ways to lose friends is to go all the way with God. Once you become serious about spiritual matters - forsaking all your idols, taking your eyes off the things of this world, turning to Jesus with all of your heart and hungering
for more of Him - you suddenly become 'a religious fanatic.' And soon you'll experience the worst refection of your lifetime. -----In short, you were awakened, turned around, made broken and contrite in spirit, and God gave you a burden for His Church. And the result? Now your friends and family thing you're crazy. Instead of rejoicing with you or encouraging you, they ridicule you, mock you and call you a fanatic. 'What's happened to you?' they say. 'We don't even know who you are anymore, Why don't you go back to the way you used to be?' '

Anyway, that's how i've been feeling lately. Just because i'm really exited about Jesus, and tell my family and friends about all the things i've discoverd, THEY think i'm judging them. it's understandable, but REALLY? but if i had to choose between my fam and friend vs. Jesus, i WOULD totally choose Jesus, but i haven't been in a situation in which i have to choose ONE. i'm really thankful of that. cos my friends and fam mean A TON to me.. like SOOO much.. but i want to love Jesus more, and i'm working my way closer to Jesus... i'm really exited about all kinds of things Jesus has told me. and i'm just loving my life with JESUS, it's the only life i want to have..

OH AND NOW SPRING!! i love it. it's warm, it's sunny. it's soo nice!! :)

to trust, or not to trust...

Trust is very important. i think i actually talked about it earlier. We trust God in times when we need his help, and we just hang on to him, because we have nothing else. Like everything around you is falling, so you decide to hang on to God. but what about when everything in your life is perfect? Then we have a habit to forget God. We don't need him then do we?
YES WE DO!!
when everything is great, we should thank God, and still hang on to him. Trust him, so that you won't be led into troubles. cos when we have God on our side, even when everything is well, we will survive better when everything falls apart.

A thousand may fall at your side,
         And ten thousand at your right hand;
         But it shall not come near you.
-that's sorta how i'm feeling now. and that part gives me strength to move on. Everything's falling apart around me, i'm stressed about everything, there's some sorta bad family issues, my school isn't going really well. all these sorta small things happening, and to top that off i caught a cold and my exam weeks starts on thursday. But all this can happen, it won't take me away from God. ♥

Yesterday i opened up my bible and found this note from last summer's teenstreet. and i remember from the seminar, that STUDYING the Bible is reallyreally important. and i really want to start studying some book from the Bible... I just reallyreallyreally want to come closer to Jesus!!!

SURPRISE!

so on friday we had a surprise party for my friend.. it was awesome. I'll write other stuff later, i've been just so busy. but here's photos from friday and yesterday!

photos.

haha, playing around with spooons :)

cute sleeping dog. ♥

WATER FROM A SPOON...

i just want to do a post with photos, cos i had a photo-day yesterday. AND it was my moms birthday, so we went to a chinese resteraunt! :) good food. yummy. So i was given a great day yesterday!

Do you feel?

There are so many problems in this world, and everyone just thinks about themselves. It's true! I really wish i could say that i'm any different, but to face the truth I'M NOT! i have problems and i concentrate on them! I always think about helping other people, and i want to help. but i'm just focused on my own problems. sometimes i even PRETEND like i'm helping someone, but if i do help someone, i'm helping myself at the same time. and i guess i wouldn't do something that i don't benefit from... like helping someone, and not even feeling good about it..

yesterday i was at church building our 24/3 prayer roome.. i wish we could make it 24/7, like have a place for it all the time.. I'll be praying there the night between saturday and sunday, so you can post prayer requests here.

Tears may fall, but we will stand through it all.

For we have Jesus on our side, and through troubled time we will glide.

'Lotti shedding a tear while building our prayer room :D'

“A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.”

I believe You will come, like the rain!

friends.

today i saw one of my friends from middle school. i haven't seen him or talked with him for like 2years practically. I thought it would be kinda awkward, but actually it was really nice!! and we talked for three hours..

today was also Hemmos second birthday :)

I'm sick of being such a busy person, but i really want to see my friends and go to all our things at church and everything. I'm so happy that God has given me a home like our church, i really love it there. But i'm really tired, cos i should do school stuff also, and i spend all my free time with friends and at church, when i should really be doind school stuff, but TODAY i finally finished my english writing thing, where i had to make up like story, kinda like a book and write the beggining of it. i wrote about a princess :) And i know it's weird but i like to write about the relationship between me and Jesus, or atleast hide it somewhere there, so it's like the prince that is meant for the princess is Jesus, but the princess decides to go her own paths. it's tells about that.. so yeah.

But if my readers could also pray for me that i could manage better with all my stuff, school and friends and ALSO MY FLUTE practice (i have like NO time for that these days, sucks :( ) and i hate being busy... but love you guys!! <3

My sisters boyfriend made Hemmo a birthday hat, its SO COOL SERIOUSLY!!
so now he's 2years old, and happy still yay :)
ps. i didn't take this photo, so it's copyright MARI OR YANG :)
(i'm guessing Yang, cos he's better with cameras than mari :p)

So my dad fixed my Nikon D40, so i can take a little bit better photos again than before!! :)
YAY! and also my COSTO-hat, now that God is bringing spring to us i can wear it
AND my hoodie-season has started, cos the weather is above zero YAY!

PRAYER!!

God, we want to pray for Japan! All those people there, those who have already lost there lives, those who are injured. God, please reach out to especially those families who have lost there loved ones in this horrible catastrophe. God give people strength and hope, even if there happens these terrible things in this world. Give people hope to find You. Cause, Lord you are all we need. Your love should be in our hearts. We should part from this world, and walk with you Jesus, only with You...


Okay, i know this is really horrible! Japan needs prayer, so people start praying!

some people might think, that how can God allow this, i mean i hear that a lot in this world. I don't know the answer tho, and if you are wondering than PRAY! seriously, that way God will hear you, and if you pray in true faith, God will answer. God always answers. people should learn to love God, but also fear him. Even tho this tsunami is a bad thing, there you can see how powerful God is. nothing is impossible for Him!

God has something of a perfect timing. My dad was in Japan from 7.3-11.3 AND, he survived! he had left with a plane that left like 2hours before the tsunami hit Japan. I really want to thank God for that! I know he could of taken away my dad, but i know that He wouldn't have. I just love my dad so much! and i'm glad he's home safe!!!

NOW! i have no idea how many actually READ my blog, but if you read it and have a google account or anything else (that you can leave a comment) PLEASE leave comments.

LEAVE PRAYER REQUESTS!!! I WILL PRAY FOR ALL OF YOU!!
and it doesn't have to involve the tsunami or anything there, I promise to pray for everything you
post a comment on!

God wants to reach out to people in these times, He's been knocking on the doors of many hearts, PLEASE PEOPLE, open them up for God!! take His love. <3

well, i wanted to post a photo of me and my dad, but seems like it's always me or him behind the camera, so i found 2 photos from all these 12years we've had a camera AND i don't really think my dad would appreciate me posting either one of them :(

spring..

I don't know if you have the saying in english, but in finnish there's this saying that: the new snow is the murder of the old snow. or something like that. AND that means that spring is coming.. and now it's snowing. and spring will come SOON! tho, there is still lots and lots of snow! :(

¹⁰ My beloved spoke and said to me,
   “Arise, my darling,
   my beautiful one, come with me.

¹¹ See! The winter is past;
   the rains are over and gone.
¹² Flowers appear on the earth;
   the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
   is heard in our land.
¹³ The fig tree forms its early fruit;
   the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come, my darling;
   my beautiful one, come with me.”

 ¹⁴ My dove in the clefts of the rock,
   in the hiding places on the mountainside,
show me your face,
   let me hear your voice;
for your voice is sweet,
   and your face is lovely.
¹⁵ Catch for us the foxes,
   the little foxes
that ruin the vineyards,
   our vineyards that are in bloom.

 ¹⁶ My beloved is mine and I am his;
he browses among the lilies.
¹⁷ Until the day breaks
   and the shadows flee,
turn, my beloved,
                                                                                    and be like a gazelle
                                                                                     or like a young stag
                                                                                      on the rugged hills.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                       ^{(Song of songs 2:10-17)}

^{Here's a story i thought of when i was walking in the woods with Hemmo :}

^{'She wanted to lock away her heart. From everyone. So she put it in a rusty little box and dug it into the ground. No one could ever get to her heart, so her heart couldn't be broken. One summer day she was sitting on the spot she had burried her heart. She didn't want it back. Not yet, she wasn't ready to dig it out of all that dirt. But she still had this thought in her mind, a thought that something was missing. Had been missing for a while already.}

^{Soon the snow came and filled the land. It was cold and it was dark, the ground was covered with so much snow that it was impossible to go anywhere. She was misserable, she needed to find something, something was missing. She didn't know what. She wanted her heart back. She started digging, but the snow was too cold and the ground was frozen.}

^{Spring arrived, and it started raining. All the snow melted and the beautiful ground was revealed. There it was, a rusty little box. She opened it and found her heart. She was ready, she was ready to share the love in her heart.'}

^{God sends the rain, you just have to take it in.}

^{Like in the woods, i was walking the path that had been covered with the new snow, and my feet kept on sinking deep into the snow. But thats what God is doing with my heart, He's sending new snow, so the old will dissapear, and He can sink down, through all those layers and to the depths of my heart.}



The journey through my Bible ♥

Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends... (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

I love reading the Bible. Sometimes I don't read it so often, like now, because i have so much other stuff to read.. But when i do, i read it well, and i don't read it just because i have to read it.. I actually study it. :)

And there's something special about my Bible, I've loved it so much, that it's a mess :D Like it would fall apart if i didn't have a rubber band around it. and then i have all kinds of paper between it.. HERE IS A SNEAK PEAK AT MY BIBLE :) of some of my fave things.

I love the fact that i WON'T find a Bible like mine anywhere. but what I love even more is what the Bible contains. God speaks to me through the Bible.

There's just something about my journeys with God. And the Bible is just a good way to start those journeys. I was an ordinary girl once. Then i opened the Bible and read about this huge and wonderful God. and i fell in love. Okay, it didn't go exactly like that. but after i started actually studying the Bible, it opened my eyes. and i just want to study it more. I'm on this adventure, this journey. and it's not only in my Bible, i'v actually went on an adventure with God, He's different everyday. I LOVE GOD! ♥



my life...

HEEEY! today was an awesome day! school sucks still. like i'v never liked school, but i'll manage cos i got to get out of highschool, and only one year left so yay! but after school we had our little girls group night. We prayed and talked and it was awesome. then we went to this place (like outside, and there was a cemetary there too) God spoke to me about stuff. so you guys get to hear about it all...

1. I jumped over a stone wall. I had leggings on and they got stuck on to something, probably a rock. it hurt a bit, and the sharp rock, or whatever it was actually broke my leggings. I was thinking that what is the point of that?! Like i was going to PRAY, and my clothes have to rip? i was just like: that's JUST MY LUCK!! anyway. later God spoke to me, using that as an example. God wants to tear away the layers that are on top of the true Laura. He just wants to rip them away, so He can reveal the true heart that is somewhere underneath all those layers. And He's starting this process. And like it hurt my leg as the rock ripped my leggings so will the process to tear those layers of my heart. And i bet it'll hurt even more than the little scratch on my leg!

2. I was just sitting on a fence. Kinda wobbling around. the wind blew HARD and seriously with so much strength against me, but i didn't fall! I didn't even hold on to the fence and i closed my eyes. I want to trust God so much, that i can just close my eyes and let him lead, and i know i won't fall. It's hard yeah, but thats what i want. TRUST! a heart can't be perfect without trust. I just have to fully trust God in every single thing. not just that he'll save me from bad times, but i have to trust him that he'll warn me about bad times, so i can walk around them. and i'll be ready to fight!

3. God wants us to come to him BROKEN! i'm broken without God. Everytime i come to Him, i'm broken. He makes me whole again. the only way i can stay whole, is if i stay with God ALL the time. But God wants our hearts to break. in 'Hungry for more of Jesus' it says that a perfect heart is broken. it is broken because it breaks when it sees sin. and it breaks with overflowing hope to make it better. or something like that... Like if you fill a bottle with something, and you keep filling it but the cap is closed so it can't overflow, it BREAKS right? so your heart should break with joy, love, and the pieces should scatter around to other people... cos like think about it, overflowing water stays near the bottle, but when the bottle explodes, the water goes even farther away.

4. SONGS! today songs that have been on my heart are:
RED-pieces
Misty Edwards-arms wide open

OKAY but i love you guys!! i'm going to bed now, so my life can continue without a worry of tiredness.

<3

Dreams.




A father is surrounded by children.
Children that he loves.

 

Some people just want EVERYTHING... sometimes i think it's stupid, but who am i to judge them, i probably want as much as they do. Like i want THINGS. and i think it's wrong to want things. One thing i've wanted for long is a new camera! i love to express myself through photography, and i once borrowed my nikon to a friend of my sisters, and after that it hasn't worked well :( truth is i sorta feel like i NEED a new camera. My dream is to become a photographer. I don't know what i would photograph, but something that could make a difference in this world. And then i want to be involved in voulenteer work. But i don't know if it's what God wants for me. I have dreams, and dreams are good. but i should learn to live in this moment next to God. Thats what he wants. Sure He has all these wonderful things planned for my future, but right now i should just stay in this place. WITH JESUS CHRIST! i'm just holding on to his hand. i won't let go. i won't let go.



He holds his daughters' and sons' hands.
He makes them feel safe.
He never leaves their side.
He is always there.
He loves.
He cares.

sister

I had a really nice evening just talking with my sister about dating, God, faith, love, friends, and other really random stuff. laughing  together and crying. she's one of those people i couldn't live without! i love her!! And i thank God for her everyday! She is the BEST!

thoughts...

Here is a story that came into my mind while i was talking a walk in the woods with my dog Hemmo! ♥

THE RIGHT PATH

She walks on the path of righteousness. Following her Prince, He keeps on looking back to make sure that she's still there behind him, walking in His footsteps. He makes sure she is safe. She is safe as long as she stays on this path with her Prince. Soon she starts running, she runs infront of her Prince, but she looks back, to make sure that she's still on the same path with her Prince. He smiles at her and says: 'Keep on going, walk this path and you'll be fine. I love you so, I will make sure you don't get hurt, as long as you stay on this path.' She's so happy to hear these words from her Prince. She's going home, and she doesn't want to get lost.

She slows down, she is tired. She falls to the ground and cries 'I'm tired, i can't walk any longer. I need Your help. I can't make it on my own.' He looks down on her and smiles. 'I love you so much, i would never leave you. I'm always here for you. You are my princess!' He lifts her up to her feet and takes her in His lap. He carries her until she can walk by herself again.

She walks behind Him, she stops at the crossroads and wonders if it would be any faster to turn to the other road, would it be any easier. She stands there and thinks. She doesn't have to follow her Prince, no. Maybe she'll find someone else, another prince, even better than the one she's following now. No she could never find anyone better. He is the Prince of all princes. There is no one better than Him. He looks back at her, and says: 'come on my love, I'll hold your hand! You don't have to be afraid. Believe in me, and you will have eternal life. You will die if you choose another road, and you won't find anyone who loves you more than I do. I don't want to lose you, princess. I love you!' He gives her reasons to stay on the path of righteousness.

Soon they have walked the long road and there is only a few feet left. He takes her in His arms, like a man takes his bride on their wedding day. He carries her to the other side, where they can live together forever. And waiting on the other side is her Father. And they live happily ever after. They dwell in the house of their Father, and everything is well

♥

I don't want to part from Jesus, he is my Prince, and no one could ever love me as He does!

He follows me, like i will follow Jesus ♥



♥♥♥



JESUS MAKES ME SMILE!
and it's true, these few last days i've caught myself in a smile,
and for no praticular reason. I've just smiled because i love Jesus
SO MUCH!
♥

grief and happiness

So you might have noticed that i practically write only about feelings. But i'm one of those people who has sooo much feelings, that i'm living based on feelings. No, my base is JESUS! but God has given me a lot of feelings, so it's hard  to not write about them. and typically i'm one of those people who kinda closes up inside, and i hide my feelings. but i'm trying my best to change that. cos i want to change!!

I'll keep you guys updated on my reading. you know that i'm reading 'Hungry for more of Jesus' AHHHH, it just gives me so much to think about. Last night i read about grief. and how as we want to win Christs heart, we also want to be se close to God that we feel his grief. Cos God grieves over sin. When he sees people sin, He grieves. so yeah. PEOPLE READ THE BOOK!! seriously it's gooood!! :)

HAPPINESS!
that's how i feel right now, i'm in this process to really grow so close to God, that nothing could ever pull me away. And i feel so comfy and happy with Jesus. Sometimes i sit on my bed, or on the floor and pray, and then Jesus just sits there next to me, and i lean on his shoulder. Or sometimes i sit in his lap! He is mine and i am His. He's my lover and prince!!! :)
Another thing that makes me happy is my friends!! I just love sharing my thoughts and worries with them. And i just love them!! :) i don't even have that many friends, but the few i have are the best ever!!! And I love how they believe in God too, so like with one friend SERIOUSLY i could talk to her for hours on about everything. atleast sometimes... She and my other friends make me soooo happy!

Let me love You more -Misty Edwards

I'm in love with a Man and I'm in love with a Stranger.
I'm in love with my Maker whom I have never seen.
I'm in love with the Lamb and I'm in love with the Lion.
I'm in love with my Savior whom I have yet to know.

Oh won't You let me love You more, this is all that I desire.
Won't You let me love You more, this is all that I require.
Won't You let me love You more, this is my deepest heart's desire.
Won't You let me love You, more still more and more.

For You could give to me the gift of walking on water.
And maybe. Maybe I will raise the dead.
But I have one life to live and all I have to give to You is love.
I have one life to live and all I have to give to You is love.

And if I never walk on water, if I never see the miracles.
If I never hear your voice so loud.
Just knowing that You love me is enough to keep me here.
Just hearing those words is enough, is enough to satisfy.
Couldn't leave even if a tried, I must have You I must have You.

One life to live, all I have to give to You is love.
I have one life to live, all I have to give to You is love.

I want to take my passion and put it in a bottle, just to break it at your feet.
I want to take my affections, put them in a bottle, just to waste them at your feet.

I just want to thank you Jesus, over and over and over again.

For I was numbered among the walking dead.
I should have been condemned I should have gone to hell.

But like a brand plucked from the fire, I am just like a brand plucked from the fire.

Walls

Sometimes i feel so broken and lost inside, sometimes i feel so far away from God. I'v built these walls to stand so tall. I wish God would just tear them down, but He won't do it cos i'm not letting him. But i want Him to tear them down, but i'm just so afraid. I'm afraid of what i'll be like without these walls. i'v had them for so long that i think if they came down i'd be totally a new person. And i'm afraid i'd lose everything i have because of that. I guess i'm just so lost that i don't know who i truly am. And last fall, this winter has just messed me up even more. It's made me build more walls. I'm this MESS! but i have a tingle in me that these walls are starting to crumble. I know it'll take a LONG time, cos there is so much to crumble. and i don't think i'd stand it if they just collapsed. But little by little they will come down. i rely on God to do that.

I wish i could just close my heart like i can close my lips.

I don't have to talk, so why do i have to feel?

If my heart could be silenced it would be.

I wish God could silence all these thoughts, so i could just focus on Him.

There's a storm stirring up in my heart.

He's saying: 'I love YOU, do you love me?'

And i don't know what to say.

'Don't walk away' He's pleading on his knees. 'Don't walk away.'

I hear it in my head, do i feel it in my heart?





I'm standing at the crossroads.
I have to make the decission myself.
It's a hard one, to leave my old life and turn to a new road.
And i'm not promised that it'll be easier on this road.
Infact, i know it'll be harder.
But in the end, i know there will be a prize.
The best prize in the world.
I just have to give up everything i have and choose this road.
What do i do now, what do i do.

  

Walls

The Rocket Summer

The story of my life I can't quite comprehend, don't tell me if you know how it ends.
When everywhere you go feels like a mirror maze and your not sure how your stuck in this place

And you got no where else to go and your lost within your own home.
Your trying so hard to win, you keep trying it's embarrassing.
and how you don't even know, but you know your off the tracks.
and how did you get in here, thinking how did I get in here.

I'll help you break the walls down
I'll help you break the walls down
and bust you out and take you home
believe you and me, you are not alone
I'll help you break the walls down

Does anybody know where February went? I was hoping that by now it would be the end of this.
When you open up a book and read a thousand lines, but you don't really read you just move your eyes

I know this is random but just this morning I saw the sun reflecting off the lawn and window
oh I don't know why but I thought you should know.

And all the weight you carry will disappear and I will willingly embrace you slow you lay your head
so come on home, come on home, come on home...

love...

So, it's a subject i'v been thinking about for a looong time. And not the love of Jesus. No the love between two people. dating for example. it's natural, and i'm quite sure that one day i'll find myself the perfect man. but no hurrys yet (even tho i sometimes think i don't have time anymore, that i'm already so old. HAHA) anyway. I'v seen so many people, so many friends start dating recently. and oh, how it CHANGES them.

Especially if a christian starts dating a nonchristian.. it just hurts so bad. and to see how it changes the christian. people should really be careful with that. i would never date anyone who has different values than me. even if he were the most wonderful guy in the world. if his heart doesn't belong to Jesus, it could never be enough for me...

i encourage everyone to read the book 'Hungry for more of Jesus' by David Wilkerson. it makes me atleast think of what i truly want from life... Last night i read about winning Christs heart. and i WANT TO WIN HIS HEART! I don't want anything else to live for. My perfect man is Jesus. He is my PRINCE! my lover.

i challange everyone to think of who they are living for... Are they dedicated to Jesus.

Sometimes you feel so broken that it's hard to come to Jesus. you feel ashamed, you don't want to pray. you feel like your falling from your faith. you feel like you've forgotten Jesus and there are others who are way more important to you than Christ. And i'm not even close to being wise, but i still tell those who feel like this. PRAY! pray with other christians. read the Word. God WILL talk to you..

I love Jesus! ♥

AHHH JESUS!!!

Okaaaaaaay, sorry i'm writing all the time now. but i found this bible college in new zealand to which i wanna go.. it costs a lot tho :( but i'll have to wait to know what God really wants for me. the bible college is called capernwray. yay!!



Okay, so i loveee to look at the clouds in the summer. I love to daydream about stuff. just lay on the warm grass and daydream with God. Well yeah, it's cool :)









God is my sunshine! ♥

i'm waiting in this desert, just waiting for the rain.

I'm waiting for the rain.

And I'll praise you in this storm, and i will lift my hands. You are who you are, no matter where I am. And every tear i've cried, you hold in your hands. You never left my side, and though my heart is torn. I will praise you in this storm.

What are you doing, when no one is looking, what are you doing?

My Jesus - Todd Agnew

Which Jesus do you follow? Which Jesus do you serve? If Ephesians says to imitate Christ, why do you look so much like the world? cause my Jesus bled and died. He spent his time with thieves and liars. He loved the poor and accosted the arrogant. So which one do you want to be? Blessed are the poor in spirit. do we pray to be blessed with the wealth of this land? Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness. do we ache for another taste of this world of shifting sand? Cause my Jesus bled and died for my sins. He spent his time with thieves and sluts and liars. He loved the poor and accosted the rich. So which one do you want to be? and who is this that you follow? This picture of the American dream? If Jesus was here, would you walk right by on the other side? or fall down and worship at his holy feet? Pretty blue eyes and curly brown hair and a clear complexion is how you see him as he dies for your sins. But the word says he was battered and scarred or did you miss that part? Sometimes I doubt we'd recognize him. Cause my Jesus bled and died. He spent his time with thieves and the least of these. He loved the poor and accosted the comfortable. so which one do you want to be? Cause my Jesus, would never be accepted in my church. The blood and dirt on his feet might stain the carpet. But he reaches for the hurting and despises the proud. And i think he'd prefer Beale st. to the stained glass crowd. and i know that he can hear me if i cry out loud.  I WANNA BE LIKE MY JESUS! Not a posterchild for american prosperity, but like my Jesus. You see i'm tired of living for success and popularity, i wanna be like my Jesus. But i'm not sure what that means to be like You Jesus. Cause you said to live like you, love like you but then you died for me. Can i be like you Jesus?

The song is really long, but just read the words. Seriously i just loooove the words to that song!! there's something about them. Jesus really was so awesome. And i would love to be like him.



Salvation & sin

"Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, and your judgment against me is just. For I was born a sinner- yes, from the moment my mother conceived me." (psalm 51:4-5)

It is important to be PURE! and i know that God will forgive me of my sins, but i have to repent. There's a few things i would love to give up. one is TV. seriously tv is bad, what do i gain from it? nothing. seriously nothing at all! but i still enjoy watching some tv shows and movies.
I'm reading this book: Hungry for more of Jesus. It talks about eating at the table of God, eating the Bread of God. and how we humans first eat at the table of evil and then we imagine that we can come to the table of God. it doesn't work that way.
There will be temptations on side paths, but  i shall not go to them. I want to follow Jesus, and only Jesus, for He died for me, and i will ever be so thankful for His love.
Salvation. i think it's sorta a hard word.

"Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends." (revelation 3:20)

There's this one part (romans 3:21-31) which tells about salvation, and how Jesus died for us. i think that's really awesome! I'm just so happy i have God, and i really hope all my friends would see how great it is to live with God, cos these days it's thought to be kinda lame to believe in God. I guess people just want to think that they are in control.

I wouldn't survive a day without God!

START

Okay, so i FINALLY have a blog! I'm so happy. I've kinda wanted to make a blog like this for ages, even tho i bet no one will read it. I don't mind. INCASE someone reads it, i'm sorry there WILL be typos a lot!
This blog is dedicated to JESUS! He is wonderful and amazing! i'll post bible pharses in english and in finnish. i'll write in both languages. So i've realized the my life would probably be totally empty without Jesus! Just by looking outside i notice the presence of Him.

I have this phase now that i reallyreallyreally wanna learn about Gods love, and how amazing it can be. I just wanna learn to know Jesus better than ever. I want him to be the only reason for my life. ♥

Even tho i might feel like a flower with only one petal left, I know God will renew me and make me full again. and i want to be filled with His love!

Psalm 91

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare abouth the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is me God, and I trust him.
For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.
He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.
Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.
Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.
If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter,
no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.
For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone.
You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
The Lord says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.
When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.
I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation."
