European Leadership Forum - Eger, Hungary

On Saturday morning I leave to Hungary for an conference that is hold in city called Eger. This conference is suppose to be a big deal (I'm saying suppose to be because I've never been there before). As the name suggests it's for people from Europe. This is what they say about it:

GAIN ACCESS TO GOD'S GLOBAL RESOURCES

• Receive expert teaching and training from some of the world's best teachers
• Find mentors and build friendships
• Be encouraged
• Invite key Forum speakers back to your city
• Discover Best Practices resources and seminars in evangelism, Bible study, church life, and leadership development

I don't really know what it's going to be like. Don't know what to expect and what's going to meet me there. But I know that so far God was giving new directions to my life and my ministry through many other conferences. And if this one is suppose to be a big deal - I'm looking forward to the message it's going to bring. Please, pray for me that my eyes would be open and my heart willing to be changed and that God would do big things in my life even through this conference and people I will meet along the way.

Hebrews 6:10

For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.

Tak to je gól!

I'm sorry for Slovaks only. But I gotta tell you it's funny:)

Opis priebehu zápasu s Čechmi:

Prvá tretina

Ako to, že Maďarsko má na MS dva tímy? To je nefér.

Myslím, že tréner Filc sa rozhodne hrať osobku na Jágra a Eliáša, a pre istotu aj na Pruseka.

Druhá tretina

Česko začalo hrať druhú tretinu...

My nemáme len český komplex, ale aj kanadský, fínsky a - priznajme si to, aj maďarský.

Zatiaľ máme menej striel na bránku než dali Česi gólov.

Mali by sme vyprovokovať nejakú bitku, nech je to 3:0 kontumačne.

Po štadióne sa šušká, že Slováci hrajú bez suspenzorov, preto sa boja puku.

Konečne sú sily vyrovnané - na ľade sú štyria Česi a päť Slovákov.

Ubránili sme si vlastnú presilovku.

To je dráma. Zápas sa prelieva z jednej strany na tú istú.

Prestávka

Teraz máme šancu! Rýchlo na ľad a doženieme Čechov!

A musia naši na tú tretiu tretinu nastúpiť?

Lašák dostane na konci zápasu hodinky pre najlepšieho hráča slovenského tímu, aby nabudúce vedel, kedy má odísť z bránky.

Tretia tretina

Nagy minul bránku v dobrej šanci. Tep nevyskočil nikomu.

Aktuálne: IIHF na mimoriadnom zasadaní preradila Slovensko do boja o záchranu.

Filc hral sudoku, inak si nevieme vysvetliť, prečo by si za takého stavu ešte niečo zapisoval do notesa.

Koniec

Zvoliť najlepšieho hráča Slovenska je ako exhumovať mŕtvolu z masového hrobu.

Mother's Day

Yeah, we had this "holiday" yesterday. And I wanted to do something original and special for my mom. So I baked a cake for her :) Yes, that's right. I backed a cake. And you know what? We were actually able to eat it. And it was tasty (at least that's what my family said - or they just tried to be polite). Either way, I think my mom enjoyed this. Though I believe I was giving her hard time when I was messing with her kitchen. But she made and so did I.

I found this video on youtube. It's quite funny...at least to me.

Don't waste your life

Sometimes I just stop for a while and I try to look back into my past and try to see where I am. Where I came from what all has changed. I don't have to go too far to see where I came from. This summer it's going to be just two years since I've given my life to Lord. And that made a huge difference for me. Today I was translating sermon. God gave me this gift of learning English quite fast and so I want to give it back to Him. Just as Jesus was telling the parable of servants that received the talents. I don't want God to tell me one day You wicked, lazy servant! I want to use the talents that I got wisely and make some use of them. This morning I came to the church earlier because I wanted to go through the sermon one more time before the service would start. And I was sitting in a window with my legs being hanging over it and translating for myself. Suddenly I realized how many things God has done for me and inside of me. That if He would not have called me I would be probably sleeping and never caring about Him. Wasting my life. But He has called me. And that He just called me - He gave me work to do. He gave my gifts and talents that He wants me to use. Yeah, I know that I mess up every now and then but I'm trying to be faithful. You know, I was there this morning translating. Serving the Lord. Every time I'm about to translate a sermon I get so nervous. But I my trust is in Lord. And so when I stand up from my chair to walk to the front to translate suddenly everything is gone. There's no stress left in me. He takes it all away and makes it easier for me to serve Him. I remember last summer when I was translating a sermon for the very first time. Even twenty seconds before I was suppose to walk up front I was as nervous as I had never been before. Then the time came and Jeff just tapped me on my back and I stood up. Right in that very second God took everything away. It was so strong that I couldn't believe for a little while that just five seconds ago I was having so much adrenalin in my veins and now it's all gone and I can focus on the translation. That was a miracle for me that day. And I still experience this kind of fear but then just a simple thought that it's all for God and His glory makes it all go away. And so it was this morning.

As I was sitting in the window in the morning I realized that I'm so thankful that God called me and that I'm not wasting the life I've been given. I really like this video clip. It's been an inspiration to me not to waste my life but to use it for God's glory.
