love is a real good reason to learn
I had a nice weekend.
different.
friday me and milka took our opportunity
to help someone out. a young boy who was a bit lost.
ended up waiting for one hour outside for his ex girlfriend to come and pick him up.
saturday I met many new and lovely friends as a bunch
of girls came together to talk about the coming 247finnish gathering.
also went to listen to arabvision songcontests.
sunday met niina, which was really nice and
took couple of steps back to ask one lady if I could help her.
I tried, but it didnt quite work out.
but at least I tried.
I turned when I felt I should and asked.
Ive been pondering about this holy living.
what is it to live a holy life?
the message says:
as obedient children let yourselves be pulled in to a way of life
shaped by Gods life, life energetic and blazing with holiness.
we were talking with tytti one day, how often people
misunderstand that serene things are holy,
you know, no laughing in church and stuff.
that not doing something makes one holy,
IM NOT drinking alcohol, Im way holy.
one of the words that really blesses me in that message translation
is the word energetic. the idea of being active.
and connecting holiness with activity.
and then comes the question; what is activity?
is mere doing the same as being active?
we talked about this with milka, about how
it can be that someone is "active in church"
without really being there, you know?
doing rises from being,
and being active is not just doing.
challenge indeed!

Hei Laura!
On tosi rohkaisevaa lukea blogiasi.
Sanat "real love", "real suffering",
"real life" tai jotain semmosta on todella jäänyt mieleeni. Meidän kristityt täytyy todella valita tie, joko se vaikea ja rikas, tai se helppo ja tavallinen. Matkalla ollaan!
Love,
Eva
Hyvää pohdintaa Laura!
Sun blogia on aina ilo lukea.
Siu ja hali Turusta.
I just found out that if I don't understand just everything in your posts, it means I really enjoyed it. In some way it challenges my thoughts to try and decipher what you meant in such and such line. Keep the good writting.
