I had the greatest week

Am I becoming a bad blogger or what?! I haven't written a word in more than a week! But now I'm going to tell you why...

A team from the Spivey church in Atlanta were here on a mission trip for a week. Some of them were here a year and a half ago so I knew some of them a little bit. What I've done this past week is working, going to the meetings the team held at different places here in town and hanging out with them afterwards. What I have not done much of is sleep! Since last sunday I've had about 3,5-4,5 hours of sleep pr night so I'm exhausted right now. But I just thought: "These guys are only here for a week so I'll just sleep after they've left."

Having them here was awesome! Their meetings with worship, testimonies and a talks were great. These last few days I got refueled spiritually. I really needed this, because to tell you the truth I have been feeling very empty spiritually. The best part is that I got just as much "spiritual food" talking to some of them outside of the meetings by sharing experiences with each other and talking about struggles we have. That is so important! We as Christians need to encourage each other.

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. "

(Hebrews 10:24-25)

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."

(Colossians 3:15-17)

I was greatly encouraged and I know many other people were as well - so thank you guys if you read this!!! May God bless you and strengthen you as you live your lives for Him.

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. "

(Romans 12:1-2)
