24-7 Prayer Weekend

We are doing a 24-7 prayer weekend now. We started at noon on Friday and finish at noon on Monday. So far all of the shifts have been covered. It is an amazing little building we are using. I will post pictures and more info tomorrow. I am heading to my midnight to two am slot.

Iceland Airwaves

It´s that time of year again. Iceland Airwaves festival has started. Lots of bands, lots of fans and lots of music. Katie was given a ticket that is good for the entire festival. This is awesome, due to the fact that tickets are very expensive and they have been sold out for months. We will both use the ticket to go see the bands we like. Whooohooooooo!!!!!!!

Hvað

I went to the Immigration office again today but the lady I need to talk to was not there. I just need her to take the marriage certificate I have and we will be finished with our visa application. Please pray that she will take it. This has been a long process. Almost two years now. We officially applied in January but it started long before that. We have been told for two years now that it was impossible for an American to get a work Visa. God provided us a miracle for sure. Our community meal was short on people but big on food. I made a ridiculously big pot of vegetable soup. It was OK. They liked it so I guess that is all that matters. We are baby sitting tonight for our friend Sabrina. So we have a beautiful one year old Unna asleep in the next room. It is nice to have a baby in the house.

Todays Thoughts

On the opening night of the Euro Gathering in Amsterdam, Pete Greig shared his thoughts with us. This talk was very challenging for me and set the tone for the remainder of the week in Amsterdam. Pete spoke of the signs that appear when you are not seeking God the way you should. He spoke of distractions which lead to not spending time with God and not studying the things of God. I know that for me to be grounded in God and the things of His kingdom I must immerse myself in reading the bible everyday. So my goal for today is to not only avoid distractions but to not seek the distractions out in the first place. uummm errrr uummm what was I saying? Oh yeah distractions. This is going to be harder than I thought.

Sundays

I love Sundays so much. It is the day I have set aside as a Sabbath day for rest. My Sundays are filled with as little as possible. Katie and I bum around the house and watch 24 or catch up on web surfing. Rest is so important. God understood this so much. He rested after creation. Rest was so important to God that he sent the Israelites into captivity because they refused to rest themselves and the land like he told them to. Rest is good! Sundays are amazing! Hope you have found time to just rest this week.

New Blog

I have decided to start blogging again. I shut down my eiki the saint blog due to not wanting to pay the monthly fee any longer. I will do my best to be witty and engaging. We will see how that works.
