			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="DSC_0346 by lime_anneberit, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lime_anneberit/4081098518/"><img class="alignright" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3086/4081098518_b956f2e4f5_m.jpg" alt="DSC_0346" width="161" height="240" /></a>When I prepared for the sermon(s) for today I was stuck in a rut for a long time. I just could not figure out how to tackle the text in a down to earth and simple sermon. But finally I got help from above (glad God always comes through when I need it; he just lets me think good and long; getting some use of the brain he have designed for me&#8230;&#8230;lol). Anyhow, I ended up in the baptist church I visited in New York all those years ago (May, 2003) &#8211; a few words from the sermon hold by a energetic female pastor really stuck with me (- and I know; I&#8217;ve told you before, <a href="http://limeblog.net/2007/09/16/sunday-thoughts-16092007/">here</a> and <a href="http://limeblog.net/2005/06/19/is-rooster-the-next-move/">here</a> but here it goes again..since it&#8217;s still good and useful).</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #99cc00;">LET GO &#8211; AND LET GOD!!</span></strong></p>
<p>When everything are being just too much, whether it&#8217;s the faith or the life in general getting too hard to handle; give room for God and amazing things might happen &lt;3 And also remember <span style="color: #800000;"><em>that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ (Phil. 1:6)</em></span> &#8211; maybe we won&#8217;t catch all the balls we joggle in our life; everything probably won&#8217;t be all finished and made complete before the day we&#8217;ll meet our Lord. But while we&#8217;re down here we have our God by our side &#8211; helping us; giving peace when things gets a bit overwhelming; telling us how much he loves us when we need that extra loving to pull through &#8211; and more. So:</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #99cc00;">LET GO &#8211; AND LET GOD!!</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #99cc00;">&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a day filled with church, psalms, sermons and being together as a congregation. I&#8217;ve had services in two churches and met a lot of people (some new to me, a good bunch of them family and people I knew off back when I visited Grandma in her yellow house &#8211; a long time ago!) &#8211; it&#8217;s been nice and I love to get to know more about the churches around here and the people as well.</p>
<p>Tonight I&#8217;ve enjoyed a few more videos of card making over at<a href="http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/"> K. Werner&#8217;s blog</a> (love them) and now I&#8217;m listening to Christmas music and getting in the holiday mood. Got to love that <img src='http://limeblog.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Can&#8217;t wait to hang my stars in the windows at the first Sunday of Advent; think I might need a few new stars as well; this house comes with a lot of windows <img src='http://limeblog.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Soon I&#8217;ll be heading to bed, though, it&#8217;s after midnight here at our place (again)..</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Blessed Week to you. </strong></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m working on a couple of sermons today and I thought I might check my archive here to see if I found something interesting. And I did. So <a href="http://limeblog.net/2005/05/29/the-money-goes-a-long-way/">this</a> is a link to some thoughts I had in late May 2005 about the text for coming Sunday. Nice!!</p>
<p>In June 2006 I <a href="http://limeblog.net/2006/06/11/go-spread-the-word/">found</a> some other thoughts that help me find the words for the service today. I wished I placed all my sermons and faith thoughts here &#8211; but sometimes it&#8217;s just too much work to translate it to English. Sorry.</p>
<p>I do, however, plan to bring my favorite pillow to church today.</p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" title="red and blue" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lime_anneberit/105998913/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/49/105998913_3c2b05b861.jpg" alt="red and blue" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>And I do plan to tell them about an old movie (from the 70s?!) &#8211; I can&#8217;t remember what it&#8217;s called in English, but the Norwegian is <em><span style="color: #808000;">Korset og springkniven</span></em> (it&#8217;s a well known book as well). I found it, the English title is the same: <em><span style="color: #808000;">The Cross and the Switchblade</span></em>. It&#8217;s about <a href="http://davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com/">David Wilkerson</a> (or some more from him <a href="http://www.worldchallenge.org/">here</a>) and his meeting with the gangs of New York city. I never forget the passage where one of the gang members tell David to shut up: -  if he tells him one more time that God loves him he will cut David into small pieces. David is afraid, but still manages to say:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>If you do that, every tiny bit of me will shout out to you that God loves you!</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p>The gang member goes away, but later he finds his way into believing in Christ. (Note, I don&#8217;t have the book in front of me, so this is the happening as I remember reading it&#8230;.. Should really dig out the book and read it again, it&#8217;s been years since last time I looked in it).</p>
<p>And there you have it, a real blog post from me <img src='http://limeblog.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Great! I love writing blog post &#8211; and it helps me gather my thoughts <img src='http://limeblog.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Now if I only could do it more often&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyhow, it&#8217;s a rainy day at my place &#8211; hope there is sun where you are. <strong><span style="color: #800080;">Remember God loves you</span></strong> no matter what the day is like &#8211; or how good or bad you are &#8211; <strong><span style="color: #800080;">he just loves us</span></strong>!!</p>
