signpost please.

today I find myself so tired and bored of floating
and missing the ambition i know i once had
please someone remind me of reason for all this
and let me see light on this path
that seems to lead just in downward circle today.

i hear stories and they sound more like echoes
of all i'm not
and then i think it's more pride talking
but no it's not so much about becoming somebody anymore
but actually living and not just listening
[for lies and truths get confused if they are all theory]

i think i'd need a plan
or something,
just to get excited and moving again.

call me.

About the Author

My friend Scot Bower is a writer, speaker, missionary and member of the 24-7 Prayer movement. He has led a number of mission trips throughout Eastern Europe and is currently a member of a new monastic community in Macedonia. Scot and his family are one of those people who by their own example have encouraged me to pursuit my dreams of living adventurous life of transmodern prayer nomad.

video blog part 2

Just came in my room from early morning/late night prayers in the prayer room,

some of the revelations of tonight:

- It's amazing how God is there, when we just stop and listen and be with Him,

- It's amazing how Jesus is the High King, and yet Servant of all (what kind of King

can actually afford to be the lowest of all, and what do we mean when we singing

"i want to be where you are" -> look at Jesus's ministry, where was He? Wow.

What an upside down inside out kingdom. May your Kingdom truly come Jesus!)

- I want the revolution to begin in my own heart, I can't change or judge anyone else.

God cleanse me to be a vessel of gold, for your use.

Amen. And Good Night! (ps. 91)

video blog part 1

This was one new fun project,

which taught me:

* life is unpredictable

* sound is important

* videoblogging is fun

* i'm not a good editor

* i make a lot of spelling/grammar mistakes in hurry,

forget the articles and write things as they sound

and not as they should be written

* i love discovering community life

* God has blessed me with amazing brothers

* i love exploring Boiler Room values

ps. please watch it in HQ if possible :)

Stay tuned for new episodes!

Nothing quite

shrinks the unlimited freedom

like feeling of loneliness

and fear of failing.

Ei kai mikään

kutista vapautta niinkuin

yksinäisyyden tuntu

ja epäonnistumisen pelko.
