Wow, time really flies.. I got back from Africa, Malawi already 3 weeks ago.. And it was great! Sweet, warm, friendly, exciting.. Many cool and nice stories! Right now I´m too lazy to write them down, so please, if you wanna hear more, give me a call :)
After Africa I spent a week at the confirmation camp in Eurajoki. It was quite hard, but a blessed week. I got also very sick end of the week, and I´m still little bit recovering from that, but I´m also so thankful for God what HE did during that week. How He gave me wisdom and strength all the way during the week.. How I got to speak into those youth lives and pray for them and teach and so on..
My way back home was also quite exciting.
Like I said already, I got very sick. So, I was having a TERRIBLE head ache (almost a migreen) and fever (which I haven´t had for a years) and I had to travel still 5 hours back to Helsinki. THEN, when I got to Eurajoki from the bush where the camp was, I checked my bank account.. And I didn´t have enough money to get back to home..
So, there I was.
Stuck.
Sick, tired and without money - far away from home. Finally I got to lend some money for my bus, but in the bus I found out that because of the different bus companies, I can not buy my ticket all the way to Helsinki, but first to Turku and from there to Helsinki, and it was more expensive. So, there I was sitting on the 1st bus to Turku and counting my money. And I didn´t know if I should cry or laugh, but I was still lacking 0,70€ :).
I just prayed and asked from God what I should do.. Then He showed me couple girls sitting on the bus - that I should go and ask from them. After some prayer, battle inside of me and creative ideas, I went to the girls and explained my situation:That because I was sick I wanted to take this bus and not to wait 3 more hours and in the bus I found out that it´s more expensive.. And I´m missing 0,70€.. "Could you give me that money, or can I sell you a stamp - I have lots of stamps in my pocket.." Well, the girls didn´t want my stamps and they gave me 1€ :)
So, sometimes God really takes us to the humble place, sometimes we have great possibilities to take some steps of faith and midst of this all: He is always so faithful!!
So, I got back safetly home in Helsinki. My fever was something like 38 and I had even 0,30€ extra money :) God is good and humorous!!
Couple days after that I travelled to Sweden.. Now I´m back in Helsinki and again on my way to Eurajoki and Turku.. Exciting days coming.
Okay, gotta go. :)
