Krismas

Well, Kris turned 50 today and he was so kind that he made a birthday party for his friends. We had a lot of fun there and the food was great as well. Ryan showed off his hidden love for music and was playing on a weird kind of instrument for us - and he was really good at it! Juraj Klementovič was dancing with Paula (and that was something everybody should see) and Ande made a birthday video for Kris that was really good. We all had fun. I heard some time ago that one of the Kris' wish for his B-day was that it would be snowing. As we were looking at the weather forecast it looked like it would at least snow a little. But the amount of snow we got here today is pretty awesome. I really enjoyed walking for 5 minutes home and listening to some good song on my iPod. Have those huge snowflakes falling on my face.

Thank you Kris for a wonderful time that we could have spent with you today.

Well,

it's been three months since I did the last post. That's a heck long time! I thing i should make a change.

There are some things that happened since the last post. Last weekend Dominik, Lenka and I went to Žilina for a retreat that the church was doing for younger youth leaders (it's called Dorast and we have kids from 11-15). So we went there on Friday and since Lenka doesn' study in Trnava it was easier for her to come to Žilina. So she came to the train station and was waiting there for Dominik and me. We spent an awesome weekend there and we were learning how to lead a youth and about your appearance and that kind of stuff. I see it very helpful and good that we went there. On one hand we've learnt something new and on the other hand we spent a weekend as a team there and it was a good team building event. We came back from Žilina on Sunday afternoon.

On the other day, Monday, Miriam was planning a dinner for the Building stuff. And us, LTP and some other people (not in the Buildng team) came to help out. At morning Miriam, Babulka, Ninka, Kristian and I went to Tesco for shoping (and that was a pretty big shoping :) Then we went to the Building and began with cooking. Kristian and I got a manly job to do: to peal onions :) Well just to sum up, we did 16 onions and were crying like little boys. Then there was some cooking and another stuff that was needed to do in order to prepare a great evening for our friends. The plan was, the boys will be the waiters and the girls will be stuck in the kitchen. After the dinner you could have said they were happy from that cause it was obvious from their faces. And even us (who was helping to prepare this) were happy that we could have done domething to express our thankfulness to our friends and to tell them we appreaciate what they're doing.

So these two events are probably the biggest wow. Btw Ande came to Slovakia for a year so we all are happy to have her here with us. And Lesondaks are coming in the begining of December. I'm so happy I can be here with my friends.

Halloween Party 2

OK. So few days ago I asked you to help me out with a costume for Halloween. Since Ande was the only one that participated (and her suggestion was really good) I decided I'd go for it and so my final costume was suppose to be a NERD. What do you think? Did I look like a nerd?
btw: there was a piece of a toilet paper hanging from my shoe :) Nerdy, huh?

Halloween Party 1

Last Friday we had at The Building a Halloween party. I know that it was a little ahead of time but since we have this evening divided for Jr. High and High school students we have Halloween two times (one of the reasons why it's good to be in the team - get to go there twice, jk! :)
We had a lot of fun and a really good time. And I was thinking what I would be. And about three days before the Halloween I saw we have crutches in the basement and I decided to be am injured man with a broken leg. But it kind of turned the other way and I was injured a little more then was the plan :)

Anyway, tomorrow (when is the real Halloween) we have the program for High school students and I have NO idea what I'm gonna be. Please share some ideas in the comments and maybe it will be your suggestion that I will be tomorrow and then you'll see it on my on this blog. So use your fantasy.

done!

finaly. though it took lenka and me a year but it's done. feel free to visit and some feedback might be a good idea to consider :)

It's been a while...

... since I posted the last time. Let me tell you what happened since then. Last time I did a real post (the last post before ŠPM) I talked about me having hard time in ministry. But there was a little sign of better times coming. So just let me tell you a little more about this and if some of you still don't know what I'm talking about here's a "little" summary:

Over a month ago our church had a youth conference that I really love. Every conference I've been to so far was a huge gain for my in my spiritual life. And so I was looking forward for this conference and the changes it was to bring. I didn't know what God had prepared for me but I knew (from the past experiences) it's going to be a milestone. And you can bet it was! Actually - the biggest one.

Right at the first day when we arrived to Košice (where was the conference) I began to read a book that was about serving the LORD and how this guy later realized he wasn't serving the way he thought he was and he was trying to please people that God. And in this book I just began to see myself and I got scared 'cause I realized that I turned away from God (the one that is to be served) to myself (the one that is to serve) and I kind of switched the positions. I used ministry so people could see how good I AM - and not God. Well I just got to say that none of this was intentional and the first time I realized this was that day of the conference.

Then I just saw how I was messing up with everything I was doing and that my ministry wasn't pleasing God at all. I was trying to take away from the glory of God. Actually I was steeling because the glory belongs to God only. That day I realized that if I ever want to serve Him again I have to change everything I thought was right about ministry and the way I ministered. But where to begin? I was so overwhelmed from what I realized that I ended up on my knees unable to do anything. As days went by and I was thinking where did I get into I felt really down and weak. But after a week or so I kind of heard God telling me:
"Well, you had your time to realize what you've done wrong. Now is the time to stand back on your feet and to fight your enemy."
And I realized that that's exactly what I need to do. Because what do we do when we realize we sin? We fight the sin! And so I went to the battlefield that took place in my heart to fight and win this fight for the glory of God!

And today I'm happy to tell you some important words: GOD IS GOOD! And He has showed me how much He can be. God healed my heart and made me able to serve Him once again. And not just that. He didn't just heal it. He even set it on the right place. He renewed my heart and made it able to serve to the One who is worthy to be served.

Soli Deo Gloria!
