Romantic dinner for three

Having A-K and Filip over for dinner and a movie!
Thay are leaving to Harar for two months and I will miss them!!
But I must say having candle lit dinner and home made food and jazz music in the background is kinda romantic..
And there is three of us..the engaged couple and.....me(the child)...haha..
Romantic dinner for three!

It is good to exercise

"My" kids are so funny, once in a while they say something so cute, so sweet or funny.
Today the eight year old told me when we got off the train on the wrong side of the platform and had to walk a little extra;

"But it is a good thing, because it is good to exercise"

Haha, I was smiling in my heart! Such a healthy kid! :)

Ps; my kids means I work with two kids..not that I actually have kids..

La familia!

Do you know what I LOVE about my church! Retorical question!
What I love is that is so much like an african, italian, spanish or whatever passionate country culture type of family..basically, it is like a REAL FAMILY!
In a family you laugh, cry, fight, make up, just chill, work, you take responsibility, you get comfort, you help out and you get helped aswell, you love and you cherish, you get appriciated for who you are, and you forgive and learn from eachother.
A family comes with all of theese things and you love each other despite being different, you resolve issues and you become even better as family!
A family you love, because they are your family!

My church is like a libanese family!

Prayer, salvations and church!

Got to lead prayer at bibleschool today!
It was so great! That bibleschool is so much fun to lead in worship and prayer, so hungry and passionate!
I see how the class is growing more and more and how God is using them!

We had a great outreach yesterday aswell! Several of the students got to pray with people to salvation on the streets of Stockholm and many of us got to really tell people about Jesus, I am expecting alot of new faces on sunday!
It is so exited living in a multi etnical city and working for the best purpose in the world! To see newly saved and transformed people every week!
It really puts everything in the right perspective! I thank God for letting me be part of this!

The walk with Ina!

I was writing in my blog, I was writing and writing..and in the middle of my writing Ina asked me; Sanna?
Sanna: Yes?
Ina: Are you on facebook?
Sanna: No
Ina: Are you writing in your blog?
Sanna: Yes
Ina: about our walk today?
Sanna: No
Ina: You never write about me in your blog, I want to be part of it ( I am sorry if my words are not 100% acccurate to yours Ina, I tried to remember)
Sanna: Do you want me to write about our walk?
Ina: yes
Sanna: Ok

So here it comes...Ina and I took a lovely long walk today
It was coooooold, and the sky was grey, but the company was THE BEST! Ofcourse I was with Ina, one of my funniest most adorable friends :) I love her!
I dont know what to write about the walk, except that we walked..but I can write about Ina..who is Ina?
Ina is funny, beautiful, adorable and a woman on fire for God! She is reliable, strong and does a great job in the church! Ina, I have so much fun with her, I can be myself with her, and i am so glad she is my friend!

The meaning of names

Have you ever thaught about how much of an identity thing it is with a name?
By finding a name of a person you can find them, if someone knows my name they can find pics of me, info about me, find me on facebook, my email and so on.. and my name is a part of me, a person who knows me refers my name to me. To them a Sanna looks like me..
My name in swedish means truth and people joke alot about that, "true are my words" (name of my blog, Sanna mina ord) and its part of me now...
or in Usa they call me santa(THAT, is not part of my name)..whatever, I had a point..

Have you ever thaught about that God has several names?
His names means things and He is what his name says He is..
One of His names is provider..what does it mean?
Well, just like you can find me by searching my name, you can find God by "searching" provider..
If you search Him for who He is, you will find that He is what His name means.
He is THE provider and He will provide for you and me!
Haha, imagine if it would be like that with all of us..meaning I could never tell a lie..which in fact is really good

Housewife??? Husmor?? Ama de casa??

Foldning laundry, sweeping dust, putting things in the right place and vacuuming...and actually enjoying it.
I found myself standing folding laundry thinking that is was so relaxing and that I wished I had more time to make it nice, cook, and take care of the house.
WHAT IS THIS?! Sanna the housewife?

Nahh, it is time for disciple making, missions, working in the church! I love my life and me being busy with theese things!
But I guess there is a housewife in me trying to peek out!
So lets welcome, Sanna the housewife!

The jet lag poem

I am up when the sun is down
The whole house is sleeping but not me
All I hear is the ticking sound
Of a clock that tells me it is time to sleep
But my rhytm is in another world
Like lets say Usa
and now this girl
cant seperate night from day

So what do I do?
what I do best
I will write a poem
and then get some rest

I will try again and again
til the morning is here
Itchy eyes tomorrow
and a yawn I will share

But I am on my way
cause I feel it is time
to dream, so I say;
My friends, good night!

USA

So here it comes, a little bit about my trip to USA!
I was there for 2.5 weeks and alot happened so I will just write a bunch of things and put a "headline" and you read whatever seems interesting.

THE FLIGHTS:

ALL the flights were a disaster. I have never in my life had such a hard time getting anywhere! First we had the Sweden-Usa. I got stuck in Washington Dc and missed my flight becasue of the imigration line, so it took me 24 hours to get to my destination St Louis.
Then from St Louis-Pittsburgh I had my flight cancelled, rebooked and then delayed.
Back to Sweden they lost my luggage, so I am still waiting for them to find it haha...

ST LOUIS:

I have family back in St Louis, my uncle and aunt and a 3 year old cousin. I got to celebrate Christmas with them and I also got to meet a big part of my relatives in Usa at Christmas eve, so that was fun and unexpected..I kinda didnt know I had more relatives there..but there we go!
Then I got sick and my family too, so we were taking it easy but we got to see some Christmas light shows, and national parks..

PITTSBURGH:

Where to begin..Pittsburgh Pittsburgh..I totally love that city! It is charming and cute, and has alot of bridges! I especially liked a part that is called the strip district! There is food and noise and people from all over the world, just perfect for me! What else...well, I got to go to Starbucks alot..do I need to say more than YES!
I also got to meet alot of amazing people! Old friends and new friends! So much fun spending time with all of them! I was at the Mcm school for three days so I am really exited now to go on the trip with them in May!
Annnnnnd I got a nosepiercing! :D

Ok, ofcourse I did alot more and I have a bunch of stories but this is just a quickie summery!

New semster

My first day in sweden and I am up on time and eating my oatmeal and coffee! Thrown back in routines! Today we are gonna have Walter and even tho I am jetlagged and tired I am exited to be back for this new semester!!
I will be upgrading a little about Pittsburgh soon, I had to much to do when I was in the Usa so please forgive me for being boring with my blog!
