this morning when I woke up, I couldn't move. My head, my neck, my back, my legs....pretty much every part of my body just ached. The only thing to do is just to bin everything you planned to do during the day and stay in bed and drink lots and lots of TEA!

Saw a film last night "shooting Dogs", about the war in Rewanda....scary...and real and it makes you think, a great deal. Was crying after the film, for the cruelty, but even more for the apathy
to not care for people. Makes you think..what makes me better than them....what do I do to be less apathic, more loving and more brave. It made me realize (also after just finishing J. pullingers "Chasing the dragon") that you can't really do it by yourself (I know I can't). To love and to really care about a strangers life, you need to feel God's love for them. When no one else loves...it's hard to love, but it is what Jesus did...

i'm back...

hi all!!
Hope you're doing GREAT!
After lots of "why don't you update you blog", I'm finally doing it!
3 days ago I got a computer (well got, I payed for it!) and I'm scared...me and technical stuff jusdt don't mix very well...so after just looking at it for hours, I rang a friend and he came and helped me out with it....bless him...for his patience. It's all good now, I think I know sort of what's om the computer...probably....

So new year at uni, doing an extra couse in addition to my normal studies, now the couse is religions. It's very very challenging doing the cousre on a seculare univerisity, but it gives you insight to what other people think and feel and you realize how blessed you are with God's precense in your life. I don't need all the scientific explanations...it all comes down to following God's voice.
Trying to explain stuff to the others in my class, lots of them are (naturally) very intresseted in the religion, I'm trying to tell them what God does to the heart....

Been thinking of you all very much lately..might be the weather (aka RAIN) :)
I'm well, alive and grateful
Bless you

so the conference was great!! Thank you all for GREAT company, so nice to catch up with all of you... I really loved every minute of it and did't really want to go home...
but I had to...to the harsh reality including LOADS and loads of studying...:( but that's life. I alway find it quit difficult to get back to reality after a conference. With all that overwhelming information (and rediscovery) you can at times feel very small. It has resulted in quit a few interesting converations, and david's first question was if God heald my cold...:)
again, thank you all for 4 incredable days, I can't even start do discribe what it ment to me, and it was all because of all you lovely people.
All my love/ Lingonberry

Have you ever had a day when you feel like whatever you do, it always tyrns out to be crap? Having one of those days, think I'm going to hide under my duvet today...

you get older every day...

It was with mixed emotions I celebrated my birthday...22..old. In my family, everyone has diceded to have their birthday in jan, not everyone, but it's 5 of us!! That equals A LOT of parties, lots of catching up with relatives and lots of food. But everyone has that feeling of enough is ENOUGH!! So I've diceded that my next visit will be in the distant future.
Had a txt from Emma a couple of hours ago, she's on her way to Bristol, take care of her!!
I've been thinking a lot abuot the leaders conf, if I have the money and time to go...my heart beats faster everytime I'm thinking of it. With the help of God, everything is possible, but it looks pretty dark right now...
Anyway, whoever put my education together thought it would be abrilliant idea to have a course in buissnessecomomics, and a absolutly hate every second of it, partly because I don't get it..just two more weeks to go so I'll try to hang in there.
My birthday was great, David began singing for me on the sunday and didn't stop until my birthday, kind of cute, but at the same time... singing is not his cup of tea... :)
We ate a dinner and then we played risk with some friends, nice and quiet. That's a sign btw, when you're older and muture you appreciate the calm birthday celebration...who am I kidding!
Time for me to return to my books, try to understand...phu

Hi all...

2005-12-05T22:45:00.001+01:00

...hope you'll well. An update's coming up, fasten your seatbelts :)

Finally I've got my own computer...a bit slow though
i'm not going to kid you nor me, it's soooooo slow, but it suits me, so I'm keeping up eith the world wide webb...
First of all, I had a great time when Mark C came to visit. Very funny acually, he hichiked all the way from Malmö to Halmstad (btw, you don't really do that in swe...public transportation works for us...) witch made me scared, because it's not that common, but I guess thatt god was on Mark's side during the trip.
anyway, we really had a laugh, hung out, talked and played some pool (I rocked, but mark rocked even more) with some friend and my boyfriend, David.

THANKS for all the hello's and prayer send to me with mark!! i reallt appriciated that, felt close to Bristol and it's people. Thanks Rach, you really touched me and it brought me back to all the good times we had! Miss you loads loads loads. The card has a really special place in my flat, reading it often and wonder if you did it yourself?
I hope that mark passed on the notes to the people, no-one namned, no-one forgotten!
At this mo, my lodger is struggeling with empy the bin...hihi it gets a bit crowded with two people in a 29 square meter flat, but we're making i work the best we can. God keeps bringing me people to share God with, and it's great, but scary at times!

Uni is great, feel like it's my cup of tea, but it's not alway easy (takes a huge amount of studying, and I'm learning to get better at it...hihi, slowly) and the people I rub shoulders with are really a blessing and keeps me on the right track i.e study hard :)
Btw, Angela, thinking of the camels every day, the first thing on my mind when I get up and it sticks with me all day...a million thanks
Bless you all, hope to hear from you soon.

news from Halmstad

2005-10-25T21:31:00.000+02:00

sitting here at a friends flat, thinking...
I miss Bristol loads, the people, the friendships, the mentoring in life and life with God. The good thing with being in Sweden is that it's now up to me, now I'm mentoring people, trying to help and guide , listen and come with advise, everything I was given...it feels great.

News from Sweden is that I now have a great flat, my own, had it for two months now and it feels like home! And it's mine until I get bored of it. Got it after a shot while....people wait for up to a year to get one of these flats, I waited for 4 months...i blame God...hihi. It's all starting to come together, what my purpose here is. Mirjam (she was in the Finchley team) and I has just started a home-group (for now it's just the two of us, but we'we got God on our side, so pl pray..) and I'm starting to get more comfortable in the church...not as godd as the vineyard, but hey...the body and all that...hihi
btw, the flat is just opposite to a driving-school, it's a sign...for me to start to drive there and in the future I just might get a driving licence (my dad will be thrilled).
other news...eeeehhh, I'm supposed to do some work on my next exaination right now but this is far more important..or not, but more fun.

Btw Rach, welcome to the world wide web, miss you so so much...our girl-talks. Hope you're well and that taya and ralph-stuff is great.
sending you all in the UK my love (and God's) and loads of air-hugs. Maybe I'll come visit soon!!!! Take care everyone

sweden is a wonderful place...

..filled with glory and Grace
my english spelling is worse (and Ididn't think that was possible) than it was a few months ago....but bare with me.

I'm back in sweden and as a look back on my year in Bristol I can't belive how much you take for granted...I mean just to be able to hang out with the people I hung out with, the very natural life as a christian, being natural supernatural. Having great teaching (thanks nic) and the wonderful fellowship in Bristol Vineyard! Missing you.

But I'm back in Sweden, Halmstad is a great city, full of life and students + it's near one of Sweden's most beautiful beaches, ans since it's still (!!) nice weather, 20C, me and my friend Charlotte cycled to the beach (a total trip of 20km), ME, CYCLED....I was soooo proud of me. She's a personal trainer so my food-baby that appeared in California is shrinking...whiiii.

Uni is great, feel that I'm where I'm suppose to be, but it's going to be hard work, and expensive...book and all kinds of things.

Oh, a cool thing happend when I got here...
I caught a train to Halmstad (well 2...but never mind) and on the way up it dawned on me that I didn't have anywhere to live (chalotte promise me that I could stay with her for a week or so until I found somewhere to stay, but still) and that was going to be a problem....so I prayed, not the longest prayer...to be honest it was something like "oh, God help me to find somewhere to stay..."
Anyway, I arrive and Charlotte is on the train-station, relife (just been to Halmstad once before...and I never find anything, always gets lost). A friend of her rings her and says that she's not going to study in Halmstad anymore and that a 2nd hand flat is free from tomorrow and wondered if she knew someone who wanted a flat!? Meanwhile I'm walking next to her (by now I'm jumping) and one hour after I first came to Halmstad I had a flat..not the best one and I can't have my stuff there, but it's somewhere to stay while I'm loooking for 1st hand contracts...
Just to let you know who unbeliveble the story really is, It takes about 6months to find a flat in Halmstad, too many students and not enough flats!!!
+ Mirjam from the form-team from finchley lives here to!!!

Love and miss you (and you know who you are...) all!
Ps. Tom and Naomi...sooo nice to hear your voices again

My big adventure

2005-07-08T14:06:00.000+02:00

Emelie Reimers
21 years old
Swedish
That's me!!

For the last 10 months I've lived, worked and studied in bristol, England.
The reason for going to Bristol (since up until three weeks before I came, I didn't have a clue that a place called Bristol existed!!!) was simple...I met God, he told me to go and here I am.

So for the last ten months I've done a dicipleship course with the Bristol Vineyard and tomorro it's the start of the grand finale; mission trip to Anaheim. I'm very exited, a bit scared and very happy. I expect lots of God and hopefully lessons for life!

We're going to take part in the Anaheim Vineyard's compassion ministry, making food-bags to poor people and help out with lots of other stuff!

I will hopefully post something useful and interesting news here.
Btw; Why is it that it's when you go away. out of your everyday life that God tends to show up in a more powerflu way? Is it because we make time for him? That we lsiten more? That we expect it?

2005-07-04T13:54:00.000+02:00

I'm entering the blog-world!!
Give me a few weeks to make it grand!
