I'm aware of the fact I haven't updated my blog in a couple of months. It's time, I know.
1. JUNIOR HIGH in Ljubljana
This year I took over the Junior High group in Ljubljana and I must say it's been going very well. Meta and Mladen are leading with me. We don't have as many kids coming this year (4 in average) but I think it's a good thing for now - we can really invest in these 4, 5 kids and get some really strong foundations. We're talking about God's character in the first half of the year and about Jesus' character in the second half.
2. JUNIOR HIGH in Kočevje
We kind of started this group in March this year but it was only 2x a month. From November on we've been meeting every Saturday and it's amazing to see what God's been doing. There are mostly kids from church in Kočevje but there are also some that are atheists and some catholics. It's a very different group of kids than Ljubljana but that's a good thing. Also, they're from 10 to 17 years old so it's tricky to have a discussion with all of them sometimes. We're still working on that.
We're meeting in a pizza place that hasn't been working in 15 years. An American family, that moved to Kočevje 4 months ago, lives above it and they help out with the junior high group. We're talking about the basics - does God exist, how do we know that, what they think about it.. we watched a movie To Save A Life and we're going to do a follow up for the next 2 weeks.
When I started working with Junior Highers in January this year, I had no idea what I'm going into. I never worked with them before and honestly, I didn't really want to. God did open these doors and my heart so I tried. He is amazing - I love both of the groups and I love kids that come. They are all very different but so great and I'm thankful God "pushed me" into working with Junior Highers. It's rewarding (even though sometimes I still have no idea what I'm doing).
3. I MOVED INTO MY OWN PLACE!
I've been praying about moving since Jan this year and I kind of had an agreement with God that I'll stay home and be a light for my family in times of trouble but I asked to move out in Sept or Oct.
It was a very long process of praying and thinking and even stepping out in faith... but in the end God was again so faithful. He provided a perfect place, He provided money and He provided everything else, including furniture. I bought a bed (with a drawer that you can pull out and you have an extra bed) for 10€ and I got table and chairs from my grandma. My mom bought a lot of food for me and just took care of me like only she can.
I'm so thankful for this place.. I finally feel free and it feels amazing! :)
4. ONLY 2 MONTHS UNTIL I GO TO GHANA!
Yes, it's coming.. it's right around the corner :) I'm super stoked about it and I don't even realize it yet..
I got my yellow fever shot, I'm gonna get hepatitis A+B + one kind of meningitis shot.. and we're almost in a process of getting our visas. Everything is going like it's suppose to.. for now. Let's pray nothing goes wrong!
So, life is pretty good right now. There are also spiritual attacks and stuff - they never really end - but it's just a sign I'm going into the right direction.
God is good and faithful - what else can I ask for? ;)
