hey. interesting thing to put on your webpage...
try it. you'll be surprised.. I promise

when I grow up?

This christmas time was pretty awesome... being with my family and everything being normal was suprisingly satisfying. Maybe too satisfying so I didnt feel that I have anything special to say... maybe next time.
So I will skip this boring part of my life... I have a question anyways.. When I will finally grow up? I was questionning myself what i want to become when i grow up but I realized that I maybe never grow up so that whole question doesnt have sense then... what do you think?

Request

I am thinking on going back to London in summer (And it is a good time to start thinking about summer)... Since I really like the city I would like to experience something new there. I was thinking about getting a job in starbucks or a similar place but actually I dont feel that it is the best idea. So... I have no idea whether this could work or not but I would really like to work in a church and get some experience. As an intern or anything. I just need few pounds to survive and thats all. I dont need to earn money, even though thast would be even better... Soooo. If you know anybody who could help me that would be great.
As you know I have The Master's Certificate from Vanguard College.. :D and I've been attending an IT school so i could be really helpful i believe..

Church madness

I just came home from London and I tell you people: It was a total blow-out weekend. SO GOOD. I have soooo many notes from the weekend from sermons and seminars that I cant believe it.
On saturday I got to the conference I mentioned in the last post. It was totally awesome. They mentioned probably all the aspects of worship.: practical teachings and also very important deep theology in a simple way. I was amazed. The only thing that I didnt like was that during the whole day I talked only to the registration girl and some guy who asked me on a street where is the closest tube station. Honestly, thats pretty sad. I guess thats very cultural.
On sunday I went to 3 churches! Really!! In the morning I went to Kensington Temple and to Holy Trinity Brompton. Kensington was very good. A black gospel church. It was alot smaller that what I'd expected. I expected a crowd like in the Hillsong church - I dont know why I thought that... and it was actually a church of 500 maybe.
The Holy Trinity was my favourite, even though it was the church in what nobody talked to me... What I really liked about that church is the fact that it is in an old gothic church-building. The worship was amazing and the sound was awesome. You could hear everybody and it was like a big choir.
In the evening I went to the Hillsong church. The fact that I knew the worship songs really made it easier to worship.
This weekend was just incredible. awesome. it was like my own small rejuvenate weekend conference. I really needed it.
Thanks God He made it possible.
I will post some sermon notes on this blog soon when i type them down.

Mind the gap!

A spontaneous and impulsive idea to travel got me to a very big city called London. I am not really sure how I got here because it was too fast for me to realize. My brother and I decided on monday so i am still in a shock.
At first I got a little disappointed because I didnt understand the first british person I met. I am still getting used to after a day and I really have some troubles understanding but I think that it will get better very quickly... hopefully.
Today, I went to the Hillsong youth meeting. Its called wildlife (my youth group at home is called widelife so they think that they are connected somehow...). It was very different than what I'd expected I expected more people and a huge worship service. It was completely different. In the beginning they just chilled out and they didnt do anything. They just talked for an hour or longer. It was a bit boring for me because I didnt know anybody and nobody looked like that they would want to know me. After that started the 'real meeeting'. They had some competitions and after that a married couple talked about marriage, relationships and purity. Actually, it was very good. It was very honest and they talked a lot about themselves, how they go through different stuff and solve problems. I think that the most important thing they said was "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." (Matthew 5;8, NIV) If you guard your heart and keep it pure God will let you to know Him. You will know his plan and purposes and you will not have to worry about your husband/wife.
And I add to it: No matter what you've done or I've done. The past is not important. Important is what you'll do with it. Your heart is pure in my eyes if it is pure in God's eyes. Mind the gap! Do not compromise your purity.

I have so much to learn.

PS: I really want to go to a worship conference with Tim Hughes and Matt Redman tomorrow but I am afraid that it will be sold out when I come. You can pray for it.
