It's almost over

Today I was talking to one of our Nordic friends, and we were joking, and enjoying each other's company, and he decided to say "I'm going to miss you man" which really hit me. What if I don't come back? It's sad to think about. There are still a few more days of camp, but he told me, I don't want it to come and hit me all at once at the end, which is true.

The worship team asked me to join them to play guitar during the afternoon set. I happily agreed. They ended up playing my favorite song from this summer, the one that they sing in the 3 languages. Its so powerful, and I found myself singing along in Swedish and Norwegian, and of course English.

I stand in Your presence
Jesus, You are here.
So lovely, so holy
Only you are God

More than a thousand words can say

It is you I love, Lord Jesus
More and more with each new day
God be my life.


I praise God so much for bringing me here, and forging the relationships that I have. I feel so blessed to have the people here in Sweden encouraging me, and as my friends. God is truly the God of all nations. Please pray that as we prepare to leave, these next few days, that we would look more and more for God and His glory; that we would take away so much more than just a fun week meeting new people. Pray that God works in all of us, and not only gives us new perspective, but changes us and molds us to be His people, and His vessels.

 It's very hard...
 He actually ended up getting it once I offered 100 kronor to whoever could do it first.
