What was that weekend about really? I don't know really. I heard some stories.. and I thought I should write something about mine even though I don't really know.
I think God moved my thoughts just a couple of days before the weekend that there was something about Finland. I didn't really know what except that I was curious and happy that it would come so many finns to the gathering.
The meeting, with Finland, through some of you guys, filled me with different feelings. First of all - love. Second - grief, over a history of abuse, and the following captivity of the finnish self esteem and freedom. Third - amazement, and this is the coolest part of all. I don't know how I could explain but I believe God showed me how incredibly proud he is over what he created in Finland and it's people. God knows how special and strong his creation is. He showed me so much that my amazement almost bordered envy. That's cool!
I feel very small to say this, because it's like a bug saying to an elephant: "you are free to be what you are! It will be enormous, but it will be good!"
And I guess, sometimes very special people don't get feedback and approvement from the great leaders, they only get it from nobodies. But I believe God's kingdom is full of nobodies who God love and think very high thoughts about.
We live in a time when the parents are few. But I just want to say to you guys that you are my family. We just have to let each other both guide us sometimes and then cry with us when they need our safety.
The fourth thing that happened - joy! Joy over belonging to such cool people as you! Joy over just getting a glimpse over who you are. You're amazing. All of you!

Thank you Theresia for sharing that, it's so encouraging! It's makes me sooo happy to read about what God has told you about our country, about Finland's true identity. Bless you, sister, and the whole family!
