Another week gone!!!

HELP!!! Where is time going? Another week has gone and just a bit too quickly!

Last Monday was Bible Study night and what a blessing that was! It is great to take some time out to study God´s Word. It never fails to bless.

Here is a wee thought - God´s heart for us is found in Colossians 2, 2-4
"I want you woven into a tapestry of love, in touch with everything there is to know of God. Then you will have a mind confident and at rest, focused on Christ, God´s great mystery. All the richest treasures of wisdom and knowledge are embedded in that mystery and nowhere else."  (The Message)

This blessed and challenged me. It blessed me to know that God wants to know me intimately, He wants me in touch with everything there is to know of Him. This also challenged me, cause do I want that? Do I have that desire to be in touch with everything there is to know of God? (For me personally I do, but I don´t however always achieve that goal!) 

But if I am in touch with everything there is to know of God - if He is my focus, I will have a mind that is confident and at rest. This made me think about the days when my mind is worried and I am not at rest - why is my mind in that state? It must be because my focus has shifted from God/Jesus to my circumstances or other things. So when I know this, I can do something about it, I can redirect my focus back to God/Jesus, get back to knowing Him and who He is. This in turn has a positive effect because I automatically come back to being in rest again. 

So pay attention to your mind in the coming week, if you suddenly find yourself worried check where your focus has been. I am willing to bet it hasn´t been on God and who He is!!! 

Ok better stop - I am getting a bit carried away here!!

On Tuesday Leah, Lasse, Kristian and I headed out to see movie. We had a quick bite to eat here at home, before going to the cinema to see London has fallen. Oh my what an exciting film! My heart was in my mouth for the whole film! The scary thing about the film was the fact that the scenario could actually take place in the world we live today. It was all rather too realistic to what we see in the news, although in the real world there isn´t always a hero to save the day.

On Wednesday Sara arrived home again. She and I were the only ones at home for dinner on Wednesday so it was lovely to have her all to myself for a few hours. We had a really cosy dinner and then relaxed on the sofa.

Thursday I went training after work then picked up Leah from school on the way home. (By the way, I have lost 5kg!!! still a few more to go, but I´m on the way!)  Sara was going out with her friend to eat so there was only Leah, Kristian and I home for dinner. It´s really nice having the kids one at a time.

This weekend has been a very relaxing weekend. Nothing exciting to report. We had time to clean the house, relax, have the neighbour over for coffee and visit family - just what we needed :-)
