two weeks to go.

this has been a crazy year! I had my doubts about managing to do this school, but I had faith God would come through and he did, he has helped me through this and given me such a good foundation for studying his word! my understanding of his character is deeper, my knowledge of the bible is wider, my love for him is more, yet I hardly know anything, I am in awe of a God that absolutely does not fit in my head, I can only love because he loved me first and I can yet not grasp how deep this love is and I am left with a million more questions now than when I first started.

God has taught me about his trinity, his love, his covenant, his faithfulness, his sovereignty, his never-ending riches, his kingdom, his power, his mercy and grace, his knowledge of me, my Identity in him, his justification of me, my righteousness and much much more

All he requires is obedience, and to aim at him with a pure heart, that we would turn around and receive not only his mercy but his grace - our inheritance freely given, not earned.

I feel so ready to go home and share this with people, I feel so ready to give what I have been able to receive and to live it out and be challenged! challenge is what makes us grow,  we should ask God to challenge us!

the last month has been good, God has been preparing me to go back home and stuff, although it has been a bit challenging as we had some sickness in the family, but God is faithful through it, it resulted in my dad coming over from Norway however!!! so that was a lot of fun! he came up on tuesday and stayed til wednesday!

I am exited to go home, but leaving here will be bitter sweet! so many good relationships and such a great place to live! but I feel a lot of peace about where God is taking me :)

thanks for all prayers and support it means the world to me!

at the peak of SBS!

So, I'm in the middle of the biggest assignment - the book of Isaiah, this is hard, but it is so powerful to see God's love for all the nations through the judgement all the prophets bring and especially in this book! I am amazed when I study his redemptive plan form beginning to the end, he always wants to save his people and be in closer relationship with them.

we only have 8 weeks left now, it is strange to think about such a long year coming to an end, such a bid task I knew I could not do without the help of my father in heaven, He has been so faithful to me all through this, teaching me a lot about myself and him and his love for all people and his power in us, his spirit dwelling in us as his temple!

So, I have some cool news, if yous did not hear yet, me and a couple of other girls here have made a CD!!, It was our school leaders idea after he was impressed by our songs we created inspired of the psalms for a creative assignment we had every month for studying the psalms, he asked the worship leader at our church [who had previously recorded a CD with his band] how one can make a CD, he told him he could do it and help us with the production, when they hung up, the worship leader cried for a couple of hours because he had been praying and fasting for a week and this was the last day, that God would give him raw bible inspired music to record!! what an awesome God we have!, anyways we recorded a couple of our own songs each and it became an album, the producer added some cool instruments and the results are quite beautiful, if I might say so my self ;P
the whole reason this all happened was so that we can raise money for a scholarship fund to help support south pacific islanders come do SBS and then from that see SBSes started over there and spread the knowledge of the word to that part of the world, so all of the proceeds go to this!

So, the CD can be bought on itunes!! here's a link:

So It's been an exiting month with a CD, a 10 day break, where I went down south to visit family on the Gold coast and then down to Sydney to visit my friend Lisa, then diving into the prophets and the biggest assignments so far, but it has been Good and I am amazed at how much God can put into my little brain by his grace!

grace and peace and love be with you all!
