Dreaming and living it out

Our last meeting in Stockholm in the beginning of May was good and very simple actually: eating together, meeting people and sharing stories about our awesome God- the basic stuff. I think that often the simple things are the most beautiful: part of God’s family just gathered together without much planning or fuss about arrangements. Again we had so much to share about what God is doing that time ran out once again. I think getting excited about God and meeting people is just the prayer we need in the Nordic family of God.

It was also nice to live in Sollentuna kollektiv and be part of their community life during that time. Many almost forgotten dreams about communities in Finland were stirred up again as I watched these very different people living together. Where had my dreams about communities disappeared to? I think it was somewhere between the thought of what is reasonable and the thought of giving up because nothing seemed to happen. I was reminded that God hasn’t given up and is still dreaming about communities although I had forgotten it. Jesus gave us a model of sharing lives with each other. Let’s keep it simple and let’s keep on dreaming and living it out. Simple is beautiful.

a game for the stockholm underground

during our gathering in stockholm a few weeks ago we didn't only meet, hang out, all live at sollentunakollektivet, write on their wall, pray for the jesus manifestation and plan a bit for the future while sipping smoothies in the sun, we also played the game 'touch the swede'. i thought i'd share the video that inspired us with the wider nordic family.
