worship time...

This is little bit of worship time in my church. I like it a lot, so I wanted to share with you all. This two songs are little bit older but still cool. So enjoy....

my church....

Right now in my church we have this theme  "Truth". Past few weeks I heard talk about "Truth about Kingdom coming". I enjoy it a lot, because I always felt that this world around me is saying that I need to do compromises in my life and in what I believe. I knew that God has just one truth about everything and that God does not know any compromises and doesn't make any compromises. I love that about God and I greatly respect all people that are following this awesome example. I am realizing that it is very hard to live life like that. But I also know that this is the only way how can I bring glory to God. And that is why He created me to bring Him glory. God said that He hates sin, and that we should not sin, He didn't say sin is bad, but you can sin a little it will be fine. God has very clear in His mind how we should live and how things are supposed to go. So it was very good to remind this truths to myself. Speaker of this evening was very cool guy Lubo Badiar. As some of you know he is very creative man, so to give a example of how God see the truth he wore wig on his head. It was very funny, it was black and white wig with afro hair. He said that God knows white or black, He doesn't live where grey "color" comes into our lives. Here is a picture of him, people were laughing at him. It was very nice. So enjoy....

Eliska 8 months old...

So my little niece Eliska is 8 months old. So cute, so loud, and loves music... fun fun fun. She spend weekend with us. It was great I just wish I could see her more often. But anyway I thought I will put some video of her loudness here, so you can all enjoy. So here it is. 

tooth problems...

Ok, so this is embarrassing, but I decided to put it up here anyway. I have bigger face or one side of face. I have problems with my tooth since saturday. I went to dentist on sunday and monday and everyday. They did little medical help to it, but I still look like this. So I will go to dentist till end of this work week, and I hope it will get better or I just really want it to get better, because it doesn't feel very good. So I wanna ask you to pray for me, that healing would be quick so I can function like a normal person. Thank you so much, have a blessed day.

Worship Festival

On last saturday we went to worship festival to Presov. It is organized by Youth for Christ every year. It is good time of worshiping God by music. People that work around this festival are very creative and every year there is something that just takes my breath away. This year it was this dance band. They danced out story of one person, just showing how we as humans go thru different stages of life. This dance was very powerful and just basically very cool.  So I have my Macbook for two weeks and have not made any video with it, so here is officially my first video. Enjoy it. 

Story of the Soul...... how was it....

Thank you all for praying for Story of the Soul. It was amazing evening. It was so good for me to see our students working together as one body of Christ. It reminded me some of our student times, when we were involved in activities of CCC. And it also reminded me how old I am :))). Just kidding. It was good to see Zuzka one of our students to step up in her faith, and share her testimony with people. She was very nervous about that but she also knew that God was working and speaking thru her, and that He is going to use her testimony in peoples life's. So enjoy some pictures from the evening. The theme of the evening was Friendship.

what is happening....

Last friday we had a medieval social with our team. I am glad that I could spend some time with my team. As you know I am raising my support now, so I dont get to see them a lot and that stinks. It is very hard for me to know that they are on campus especially when I have to be at home and by my self. So this is what I do, I just feel like I complain all the time, but really dont want to, because it is amazing for me to see how is God taking care of me and not giving up whenever I wanna give up. So it is like a battle in me I wanna be on campus and share with students and on the other side I dont wanna miss any of blessings that God has prepared for me. So please pray that I am patient, and dont take my life into my hands.Also I wanna ask you to pray for this coming thursday. We as campus crusade started helping in church that I go to-Lutheran church. So once a month we as Campus crusade are helping them with youth group. This thursday we are doing project called "Story of the Soul". It is sharing Gospel thru music, movies and art in general. I am excited for this time, because our students that are involved with CCC planed it all, and they gonna present it all. So please pray that they are encouraged by doing it and that many collage students will come to this event. Thank you so much.

raising support

I decided to put some prayer requests up here for me, because they are very needed. I am raising support right now, so I will be able to start going back to Presov and do ministry. Well raising support is one of my hardest times ever, but in the same time very blessed time. I think the hardest part about all of it is that I am not around people as much as I would like to be. I like times when I can be just by my self and God, but I also love times when I am around people. So I realized this morning that I missed that so much and I feel very lonely a lot. Interesting thing about this time raising support is that I am not freaking out as much as I ussualy do. I think that God is just giving me so much peace about all this situation and about His timeing. I am very thankfull for that. I wanna be with people, but I just have so much to do that I just cant. In the same time whenever I am around people it is a Big blessing for me, and I am learning everytime how much I appreciate my friends and just people in general. So I tought I would put some of prayer requests I have for my self, so you know how to pray for me.
- not depend on how I feel, but on Gods word and His truth.
- as I raise support, need to be more organized than I ussualy am.it is a big lesson for me right now.
- pray for people that I need to ask for support, they have open hearts for my ministry
- pray for my time with God, I hope to have quality time with Him everyday cause I need it a lot.

Thank you all, and have a wonderful day with our Father.

Eliska is 7 months old

My niece Eliska is 7 months old. These are just some fun pictures of her. Sweet sweet baby!

Bible study grupe

We have a Bible study grupe going on for several years now. there is 10 or so girls. We know each other pretty well, we become christians around the same time, and we just grow together in our faith. Every one of us is very different and unique. Every one of us has different life, some are working, some are still in school, some are married, some singel. I love all of the girls as my sisters and realize that it is God who put us all together several years ago. I am very thankfull for my sisters. Last year we were trying to study women in Bible. it was interesting and sometimes painful, because we would not agree with each other. On the begining of this semster God reminded me of what is a true fellowship, and how it should look like. It should be open space for not more than 10 people, that trust each other and are fully open and honest to each other. Jesus also had just 12 closest desciples, because he knew that it is good number to have good deep relationships in that grupe. He could of have 100 closest desciples, but He didnt and it was good for me to see why. That moment I got it. I realized that this is the thing we were missing almost the whole last year, and that is why we had many arguments and missunderstandings. Because we didnt know what was truly going on in our hearts, about what we are fighting with in our spiritual lives. We ussualy talked about whole week and some problems, but it looked like that non of us had struggles that God was showing us. So this year I told them what was God teling me, and I shared my biggest struggles with them, and miracle happend. After I finished other girls started sharing too. And it was amazing. Lots of tears, but also lots of stones felt down from some hearts. I feel like we are all steping out of our little boxes and God is moving in our lives and in our Bible study. It is great to know that I am not the only one that has problems in life, and it is so good to know that it is not about me. I am so excited that God is moving in our Bible study and so proud that I can have sisters like those sweet girls. I really love you girls. And keep going. We can do it with Him!!!!!

always wanted to be a rock star....

this is my first pumpkin ever in m life, so thank you Adams family for teaching me how to do it, it was fun

So here are some pictures of me and Viera going to a halloween party. I always wanted to be a rock star, just because they get to wear so much fun stuff, but I think I might think about it little more. Anyway it was fun and I am glad we did it.

after long time

I have not write here for a long time, I know. It is not because nothing was going on in my life or around here, but I think it was going on to much. Funny I know, But sometimes or most of the time when there is so much going on in my life I have problem to put it on paper or in to some words, that would describe what is realy going on. Another reason why I have not been writeing here is that I have this think goign on in my head that I can not realy good speak english and writeing is even worse. But I think God has been working in my life this past months like crazy and you know what I dont care at all about it anymore. I figured that if this is a problem for someone, that they dont have to read it at all, and I know that most of the time it is no problem at all for people I know :). So I have left staff with CCC in June, but I am back since 1st of October. I feel like it has been most crazy, but also most fruitfull 4 months in my life. Yes I am saying that because I like to use words like most, best, atc.. So I dont know how would you call it, but I like to tak about things how I live them and experience the at the moment. And this is one of the things God has been teaching me, to be real with my self and not be ashamed for who I realy am and what is realy God doing in my life. He tought me that I need to be real with my sisters and brothers, because we are family in Him and we should love each other the best we can. Love is something that I am trying to understand the most these days. God showed me that love is not just, what we call love ( being in love, love someone, I love you, I love icecream.) Yes I use this word a lot, but I never tought about the real meaning of it. Like why God says that He is Love, why is the whole chapter in 1. Crinthians 13 about Love, why Jesus said that first thing we should do is to Love our God, and then Love our neighbor as ourselfs.? I understood that it is breaking the law of love when we sin. When we sin we are being unloving to God, or to some other person. I have learned that this life is not about me, and about things I want. It is all about the Lord and His will. He can give and take and realy do anything He thigs is the best for our growth. And I know that it is important to recieve just what he is giving me, because He knows what He is doing, I have no idea what I am doing, but peace comes from Him. I read today that God alowes us to sin, because He wants us to be like Him, and that is so awesome to know this. That everytime when our sin comes along we have a choice to sin again or to be like Christ. Christ was tried wby sin, but He never sined. So He went through stuff we are going through, but He choose not to sin. And thats what I am learning these days, and I know I will be learning till I go to heaven. So I promise I will write more on here, and I hope you will start checking this blog more often. seeeee uuuu.

jeejj

I finaly figured out and found time to learn more about, how to work with this blog thing. So yes, I am not very technical or computer kind of person, so I am trying my best. But learning more.

Eliska is 2 months old

here is a new picture of my little niece Eliska. She 2 months old, and is of course very cute and beautiful baby.

No matter where you go

"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:13-16

No matter where we go or what we do as christians we will always be lights in the world, so try to be the best one. It is not easy, but God will help us. I am thankful for this verse and for today.

Thank God for very loud child

So here is another picture of my sweet niece Eliska. Thank God she is very loud baby and loves to cry a lot. I am proud of her because I hope she will love music like me one day and would want to sing with me, because my mom said I cryed a lot too when I was little. Thank you God for her.

Friend of God

me and Carlyn - friends of God :)))

Just short note. Today I read about how we all are call to be Gods friends. And one sentence touched me " You are as near to God as you decide to be." Yes we do that, every day we are makeing decision about how much we gonna let God work in our lives and hearts. I wish every day my decision would be "as much as you wanna come to me God today". My prayer for you all is the same I wish we all let God work in our lives fully, and do accept His blessing for us fully!!!

James 4:8

"Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded".

Pictures

Some fav pictures. :)) enjoy!!!

God is God

God is God, that is what I tought of today as me and Kelly talked to this girl on campus in Presov. Kelly met this girl last week and so she set up an apointment for today, and asked me to go too. So I went. As Kelly was sharing Gospel with her in english, because that was what she wanted to hear, so Kelly did it. I ve never heard such a responses in my life. She was totaly in to english language even she did not understand all of it. So I was sitting there and listening to what Kelly was sharing with this girl, and I am praying that God will open her heart. But she just could not get what we were sharing with her. It was amazing for me to see how was her mind working . Kelly would ask her different questions, but she would just not answer them directly and go to totaly different subjects. I was getting very discouraged by her atitude, but God reminded me of something. He told me, I am God and I am in control of everything and I know what is best for this girl now. And I also remembered what I learned last week at my training "take the iniciative to share Gospel in power of Holly Spirit and leave the resolts to God" it sounds sometimes like phrase but it is big truth, and I have to remind my self every day this!!! God is God, and He is not gonna turn things the way we want Him to!!! Love you Lord.

Ps: I am listenig to Cds that Peto sent to us, it is Hillsong united I love their music. Listen to it it is very good!!!! :))))

Vet school day

my favorite picture of our team.......

Every thursday we as a team go on campus to vet school. I like this day, because we are all together at one field and it encourages me a lot. When we get there we pray for One hour and then we go in pairs or so and share our faith with students. Today me and Matt went together. We were walking around campus and every student we stoped and try to talk to, was busy and didnt have time for talking. So I said or prayed "Please God can you just send us one person who will have time to talk about you?" And didnt really think that it would happend. But it did, we saw this girl standing and doing nothing. So we walk up to her and I asked her " do you have time to do this survey with us?" She said yes!!! So we did survey with creative pictures, and as she was answering questions she went deeper and deeper. And told me that her Grandpa just died and she was close to him, and how she is waiting and waiting and waiting for God to show up in her life. I could not believe what she was saying it was amazing to see how God answerd my prayer even I was not faithful at all. But He is faithful!!!! Please be praying for this girl her name is Ivana, we will be meeting and talk about God more after March 10th, because she has big exame so I have to wait. I am very excited about that, and cant wait to see what is God gonna do in her life. I know prayer is very powerful and I am very thankful that God reminded me of it today!!! Keep praying!!!!

Thank you God

So I just wanted to let you know how much God is blessing me and His Presov ministry. I asked you few days ago to be praying for the things we wanna do there. Thank you so much for praying for it, and I tought I would let you know the answers from God. So we did get a room for english classes we wanna start next week, and also today we were able to start girls Bible study. we had two new girls come and it was 6 of us together. I am very happy for that. Girls are so nice and wanna learn about God and wanna have felowship with us. They are 2 freshment girls Lucia and Slavka, then two second year Miska and Kristina and me and Carlyn my teammate. It was such a blessing for me to have this time. I have to addmid that I didnt wanna go there and do it, but I went and God showed me that He is bigger then us and our problems and that He is above all, we just need to trust Him.So wanna ask you to keep praying for our Bible study, and for english classes that are starting next week for two weeks. Pray that students will come and that we would be able to build good relationships with them, and that it will bring glory to God. thank you for doing that.

The food theory

So today I was in Presov as ussual and it was me, Carlyn and Aaron. Going back home to Kosice in the evening. Somehow we started talking about guys and girls and the differences. So we all know how men gets attracted to a woman. He just see her and if she is beautiful thats 96% of succes for her. So I think I am tired of guys that dont wanna admit that this is the way how it works for them. I am tired of words like, " beauty is not important, but what is inside thats what matters", from guys to hear that, sorry lets face it, but I strongly believe when a guy says something like that he is more that likely not telling the truth. Even if it is the strongest and deepest desire of his heart, it is just not truth. So today I or all three of us created the theory of Food. Guys like Girls and food, so I tought that it would be a good theory. So on the way home I asked Aaron. If there is a table infront of you, and on the table there is on one side a great looking cooked turkey and on the other side of table is some kind of dish not sure what it is, witch one would you pick to eat?? But there is little more to this choices. What you dont know is that a great looking turkey has to much salt in it and is just very bad food, but the other one weird looking one is excellent food. On the other side of the table is the cook that cooked both dishes. So what you gonna do? You can see Food and you know there is a cook, but you dont know that one is good one is bad. I personaly believe in general any guy would jump at that turkey and eat it all, I am sure that the turkey would get his attention at the first place. Ussualy they dont see what is going to happend next after they eat that turkey, they are going to be sick and throw up all night. but what you gonna do about fact that there is a cook that created both foods??? Yes, what a privilage, you can ask him, how he made both dishes, what he put in it and so on... So I think that is the biggest difference betwen us . I think we as woman first ask about the food we are going to eat and then we pick, but I think from experience and conversations with our brothers in Christ, guys in general just dont think about it and go ahead and take whatever is more beautiful to them. Well lets just say this, I think that cook cares for all of His meals and see all of them as beautiful and perfectly made. I know you may be thinking I ve heard this so many times. I know we all probably did hear it a lot of times, I just think this is another interesting way how to understand it, and it was interesting for me to talk about it with my friends on the way to Kosice. We for sure had a lot of fun during creating this theory :))))

Please talk to our God

Hard day, but full of Gods work. So praise God for today. We made as team some plans for ministry for Presov. I am thankful to God for very good ideas. I am very excited about this semester and cant wait what is God going to do in Presov. I know that those ideas are from God and He is already blessing us with working out some important details for us. Today we were able to get a room in the dorm for free for english classes we are planing on doing. I had very little faith about that, but I am thankful that God doesant work dependant on how big is my faith. God also gave us a big gift throu Miska who wants to have Bible study for girls in her room, that is amazing and please pray for new girls to come to that. We still need to get a Gym for gym nights we wanna have for students so please pray for that too. So it looks like we need a lot of prayers, but I trust God that He will provide. I will keep you up date about how everything went. Short message, but needed one. And I have read one cool verse today I would like to share too so here it is:

Ps.139:23-24 "Search me, O God,and know my heart,test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

I think its pretty cool and I feel like this vers is desire of my heart too. Sometimes I wish I can pray like David prayed in Psalms like in this one. I know God doesant care what words we use to expresse our prayer, I just think its beautiful how David is useing all those words.:)))

Lay down your Issac

At the beginig I just wanna say that my english is not as good as I wish it would be, so if you dont like to read it just dont, it is ok. But back to what I wanna write today.

The other day I was reading one article called "Lay down your Issac", yes I stoll the title from there, but I think is cool and I wanna share how it spoke in to my heart, specialy today. The article was written by Laura J.Bagby and here are some things she said.

"I am beginning to understand that there are times when we as Christians are going to be asked to do hard things. Sometimes God needs to test our loyalty to Him and our trust of Him. When you are serious about serving the Lord, He will pinpoint those things in your life that are threatening to take that place of worship that should be reserved for God alone. God is jealous for our affections, He will not take second place in our lives."

And then she continues with her story, how God asked her to lay down her Issac, or just simply said Let go.

After I ve read it I was amazed by it and asking my self does she knows me? Have we met?

No of course not, but I am not the only one who needs to "Lay down their Issac". I think everybody needs to do it.

And God is giving us a perfect example of one "Lay down your Issac" guy or Let go guy, yes Abraham!!!

In Genesis 22 you can read about all of it. I just really love Lauras observations about this passage and how it applies to our lives. So here are some of the things she said about it:

" God didnt explain why at the time , and interestingly, Abraham didnt argue with God."

Not me, I always have something to say about Gods decision.

"Abraham woke up the next morning and got right to doing Gods will."

Ok, so it takes me forever to realize that I am on my own way and not Gods.

" Here is Abraham, asked to do the thing he least desire and likely most dreads, and still his heart is at peace."

I am amazed too!!! I am freeking out everytime when something little harder comes around me.

Yes that is me, but today something amazing happend. I realized that it is my old self, who just answered like that. I have a new identity in Christ, and I need to start Letting God work in me and react throu me and everything, whatever He thinks is good idea to do with me. Yes I know you may ask, you didnt know that?? yes I did, but I gues just in my head and didnt know how to get it into my heart. So finaly today after almost seven years of beeing a Christian I know how does it feel when I truly "Lay down my Issac" or let go. It feels great!!! It realy does!!! I feel freedom, I feel like I can move on and let God fill me with His blessings that were hold back from me, because of my Issac!! I feel happy after long time, happy to be in Gods hands.

When I say I am christian

I got this poem from my friend long time ago, but I still love it and wanna share it.

When I say I am a christian ....

When I say I am a christian
I am not shouting I am saved
I am whispering I get lost
that is why I chose this way.
" " " " "
I do not speak of this with pride
I am confessing that I Stummble and
need someone to be my guide
" " " " "
I am not trying to be stong
I am confessing that I am weak
and pray for the strength to carry on.
" " "
I am not bragging of success
I am admitting I have failed and
can't ever pay the debt
" " " " "
I am not Claiming to be Perfect.
My Flaws are to visable
but God blieves I am worth it.
" " " " " "

I still fill the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek His name

""" "" """ "
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority
I Only know I am loved.

Here I am
