1 Swede, 1 Singaporean.
Both our worlds collided in 2004, and merged in 2009.
Our base is now Sweden, and our centre always Him.
Propelling towards an insanely exciting future!
We made greek salad to feed Barbara and Milica who haven't been eating too healthily (pizza! falafel! lack of veggies in diet!), and at least it's something I can make without Emil's help!
I need to expand my range of cooking :P
The weather was awful though. Rainy and cold, makes one feel like staying at home. Was thinking to myself if people would still want to come.
I laid the table to prepare for the cell's arrival, and placed 6 glasses on the table. Then I felt a prompting - "Is that all the people you're expecting to come? C'mon!" So I stepped out and placed almost all the glasses we had, plus more.
And what a pleasant surprise I got.
I love the cell. So many different types of people from different nationalities and different backgrounds, with different styles, yet sharing something in common - being different in the same place, but loving God who never changes.
Let's see - we have (including one who was travelling Europe with her parents and wasn't around for cell this week): 1 from Honduras 1 from Macedonia 1 from Austria 2 from China 1 from Korea 1 from the US 1 from the UK 2 from Sweden 1 from Singapore (me lah!)
And the exciting thing is, most of the people here will be staying in Sweden long term, i.e. not transitional students who come to Lund for 6 months or a year. We feel that now's the season to build up this core group, to really build strong relationships with accountability and trust, to become a magnet that would draw others unto Him through true fellowship and testimony, no matter whether they are here for 3 months or 3 years.
There's still much to be done, but God has been so good and faithful, and we really see His hand moving in our cell. We do want more though!
Holy Spirit, pls continue to work through us to support and serve where You have placed us!
