An era has ended!

What i have started 3 years ago i have now finished.
I started 3 years ago at HTX a gymnasium as it is called in Denmark. A mix of highschool and college i am told.
I have to admit that I am a bit proud of myself. When i started this education I started on another school. I was thinking: if this is HTX I am out! After 2 months I found another school with HTX and the same majors as I was studying already, so I transfered to that school. I was very nervous when i called the school to ask if i could transfer. I told God that if there were a space available I would transfer, and there were. So I ended up in a class with only boys. It has been a challenge in many ways, but I have learned so much and gotten so much insider information, about guys that you would normally not learn as a girl. I have seen how they change behaviour as soon a girl walks in. Real fun:-P
I feel very privilleged and blessed. And I now for sure knows, that God has planned this very carefully, since the ministry he has called me into is a guy-world, but more girls are coming all the time:-) This ministry has showed me why God has created me exactly like I am, and why he has let me face the kind of trials i have faced. God ALWAYS has a purpurse with what he lets you go through. That is one of the many lessons I have learned. Even though a situation can seem very bad and you might think: ”why is God letting this happen to me?” - He always has a plan. It reminds me of the saying: ”what doesn't kill you makes you stronger”, and you know, I have to say I agree. Sometimes it can be years before you understand why you had to go through that hard time, sometimes you never will. - But there is a purpurse! - And i thank God for learning!

These 3 years has been a struggles at times, and I have had my doubts and I have wanted to just quit it all, but I got through, and I would not have if I had not had God right beside me all the time. He provided me with some awesome classmates, who i am going to miss very very much! - He provided me with a fellow Christian by my side, which has ment a GREAT deal too! - And what will hopefully be a friend for life.

So it is with mixed feelings i have graduated today. I am happy about finally being finished. That I do not have to take anymore useless classes and I can do whatever God wants me to do! - That is amazing! - But I am also going to miss my dear classmeates, whom I have spend 3 years with and whom have accompanied me on my very first trip to the States for a month, not that long ago.

Anyhow, that was a lot of writing and nostalgia:-)

Acension day Ralley!

We had a great and fun day with the church at the Acension day ralley!
We started at 10 o' clock in the church to get instructions, and then headed out on the Fynske roads:-)

We had a fun trip in the "Metal Tour Bus" as we were called:-P
We answered questions along the road and had a few problems with the directions, but we made it:-)
We ended up at a camping area which one from the church manages. We were remined of what this day is all about. That Jesus Christ went home and send the Holy Spirit to help us communicate with God. An amazing gift!

Some pictures from the day:

Trying to find the way:-P

Hard question:-)

Sanctuary Groups!

It seems like everytime i write in here a whole lot has happened in the meantime!
One of the things i would like share is the Sanctuary Group Fyn!

The Sanctuary Groups are groups different places in the country which we have been starting since March. We hope to get more groups started over time whereever they are needed. At the moment we have one in Kolding, Vejle, Århus and Odense, and we are working on other cities. The groups are ment especially for metalheads. We talk about God and metal music! - We hang out eat together, go to concerts or whatever we can come up with and just have an awesome time together!

In Odense we meet wednesday every 3. week at 6:00PM and have had 4 gatherings so far.
We have a great time together talking about what is on our heart. We have a open fellowship where we can share good things and the things that worry us, anger us, and so on. And we talk about the music we love and hear a PodCast or read a blog from Pastor Bob Beemen, and talk about it - Its awesome! - I always feel encouraged and happy when i leave.
You know, we have the two things which we all have a special passion for in common: God and metalmusic. Which is, to be honest not a combination that you see everyday:-) So it is nice to once in a while gather with people who you have those two things in common with.
Two things which also describes our group on Fyn very well: food and food...:-P

The next event will be: Acension day-Ralley! - And i will most likely be writing about it:-) Hopefully with pictures!

Here are just one more of not-that-great pictures taken by my cellphone from our last meeting:

Thrashed night at Kansas:-P

I have just returned from a night at Kansas City, and i have never been so thrashed from a night there as i am now. There has just been so much to do! I wanted to write this right away so i don't forget what i want to write by tomorrow:-P
Well, it was a big concert for a place like Kansas City tonight. Mercenary was the headliner with two suppoting bands: Unbelief and Submission. Unbelief is from Odense, so they had a great deal of support from the crowd! - The vocalist is a ”responsible” as it is called at Kansas City. It means he is the boss at the night he is ”on duty” at Kansas:-) He is a great guy and i have worked with him some times, so it was a cool experience to hear his band, and they were actually the best band:-P They were really good!! - In general the music tonight was just in a higher level than it usually is:-)
The good bands also attracted a lot of audience! - And that is why i am so amazingly tired, but i love to come home from a night at Kansas and feeling tired and thrashed, then it has been a great evening. The position that i use to have at Kansas is in a team of three in a night like this with these bands. Tonight it was a team of two because the third called in sick. And more crowed means more to do of almost everything. So my teams to do list looked like this:

- Checking the bathrooms once in a while
- Doing the dishes(whatever the band has used for dinner, and glasses in general during the night)
- Cleaning up bottles, and glasses from the tables during the night.
- Cleaning up after the bands in our two backstage areas.
- Cleaning the stage from bottles
- Stand in the door during breaks
- Make sure there is beer and soda in the bar or else fill it up! :-P
- Clean up if someone splashes beer or the like on the floor...

Its a challenge when you are two people:-P But i love it!
And i got an unexpected surprise! - A guy from the Danish Christian Metal Forum Assulting Vanity showed up! - I was so busy so we did'nt get to talk much though.

When people was almost out and i was sweeping the floor a security guy walked up to me and said: ”you did the hard work”, and gave me 20kr. Very nice of him. I had never even meet him before that night!
Well, i better go to bed before i pass out:-P

Picture later...

20 years old with a new tattoo!

Yeah, that is crazy! - I really cant believe that i have lived in 20 years!
I could not help but thinking a bit about my life so far. God has made it an amazing journey! And i can see as i look back that some of the things i have experienced has been a preparation for what is going to happen, and what has happened the last three years of my life. The three years of my life where God has invited me into a very exciting time filled with his amazing and undescribable love.

To celebrate the 20 years, me and my father went to the tattoo artist Gert at Magoo Tattoo in Silkeborg a couple of days later. And i got a tattoo on my foot with the text: MADE BY GOD...
I am very happy about it, and reminds me, that i am a child of God, and he has ceated me in his image:-)

Home and New years!

This is my first blog this year!
I have returned save from Greenland a couple of weeks ago, and I now have a lot of awesome memories from it:-)

The day after i cam home I went to Thisted, and then Bjerget to celebrate new years eve with a bunch of metalheads:-)It was a great night, i went to bed a bit early though. I was pretty trashed from Greenland:-)

The next day i spend with some of my friends from boarding school who had been celebrating new years close by, we went to see the new Jim Carrey movie "Yes!". Very nice to hang out with them again!

The day after I went straight to Vejle to meet with the GLDF-coregroup since the Green Light District Festival is not that far away and we need to get the last things done:-) That was a great time with the guys!
