I don´t want to explain this through.
I think those of you, who have faced this or are doing this yourself , know what I´m talking about.
Dear pushers, stop it and start receiving the help, support, love, friendship, risks, hurts, healing, fellowship and all the rest that can be there available to you.
Dear pushed away ones, don´t give up. Pushers might be stubborn, but fragile. It really doesn´t take a lot. It might take long, but not a lot. Be brave and you will be loved a lot too.

Waiting for the Easter break to come
Just few days of school left and then I´ll have a break, that´s just great. It will be nice to go and see my family and friends up in Saarijärvi.
I´ll be also attending a wedding on this coming Saturday, a dear last year classmate of mine, Kirsi, will get married. I and some friends are supposed to sing a few songs in there and we really haven´t had the chance to practice too much, so keep fingers crossed for us, pleaaaaase.
I know, it´s not all that it takes, so we´ll be also rehearsing on Friday, which will be great. It´s always a pleasure to sing with my ISBM-team mates. Looking forward to it :)
Lately I´ve started noticing more of God´s chances, and even started to think more of Spiritual issues and reading the Bible. Also, just to make it more clear: it has been pretty hard earlier, especially before Christmas. It is natural, that sometimes one might get tired of all of it. This referring, in my case, to spiritual things, attending church, being active myself.. And now I´m more excited of it, feel like having strength for it more.
But it is important that in times like these, when spiritual things don´t feel like the most interesting thing and when doing something in spiritual context becomes more of a pressure, to know that God is there, He doesn´t stop existing. It is vital to keep up with the connection to other believers, they will know and understand how you feel, at least most of them. It is important not to give up. Say how you feel, tell God that you are tired, be open with it.
Please, never think that you are not allowed to get tired and sick of this all sometimes, that will just make you feel worse. We have space for feeling tired, God has His arms open wide when we crawl to Him and say: I cannot go on anymore, please, let me rest for a while. He doesn´t want anyone to waste his/her life..
Hah, what a sermon ;) Just let me know if there´s something confusing on my text here. It might as well be possible, as it is starting to get late and I should go to sleep. Yet I stand behind my words people :)
Bless you all!!
Saarijärvi here I come! (In three days...)

What if I loose my step and I make fools of us all?
Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble, and what if I fall?"

It´s a new day
I just thought I could write something about my life here, what I´ve been doing and so on, just in case someone is interested. (See, I have huge expectations.) Oh well, we had a huge mini-project in school, we had to do a research, analyse the results and write a report on it, in two weeks. Luckily, I got a good pair with me and we had an interesting subject: Combining Social Work And Spirituality. So, it went pretty well, though we had to work quite late with it, which was completely my fault, but we received good feedback and were happy.
Now I am just getting ready for a busy Spring, many tests and a practical placement ahead. Also some weddings, a trip to England, a Mission Conference for Youth called History Maker, cleaning, school work and so on. So it´s all in all nice and something to wait for, yet I need my time on my own and so far I´ve been able to have it. Biggest challenge is to have it in the future as well. I will make it work, I just have to, otherwise I´ll get too tired you know.
Anyway, today is a laaaazy Sunday and I think I´ll just enjoy it at home. Cleaning a bit, listening to music, checking calendar, doing all the stuff that hasn´t been done but what needs to be done :) (oh, how good I am in expressing myself.)
Painting maybe, at least producing one wedding card hopefully. I got inspired yesterday and this is what caused it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/krisatomic/
I simply like a lot of her pictures and stuff she has created, just very very nice and interesting, it has a certain atmosphere in it, an atmosphere I really really like. So help yourselves and enjoy!
Well, I guess that´s it this time, fellows, may God bless you all!!
