Welcome to my Great Norwegian Adventure blog!
On September 3rd, I will be traveling to Bergen, Norway to live for 2 1/2 months. Updates about what I'll actually be doing to come. :) The journey God has invited me on is humbling, scary, and SUPER EXCITING. I am inviting you to journey alongside me!
Why am I blogging? Besides the obvious need to be "with it" as my students say, I have a few ideas...
1) I want to stay in touch with you! Great moments are never as beautiful without people to share them!
2) I want to share what God is up to in Norway! The Norwegian people have a special place in God's heart and in my heart.
3) I need prayer. I am convinced that this trip is the fruit of many conversations I've had with the Lord about my desire to be involved with worship ministry outside of the USA. I know I will need prayer as I continue to follow Jesus' voice!
I want to share a few words about the title of this blog: "...all you who live in distant coastlands." Last summer, I received a verse from the Lord that I like to call my "life" verse. Kind of cheesy, but ohhhh well. :D
The verse is Isaiah 42:10: "Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing his praises from the ends of the earth! Sing, all you who sail the seas, all you who live in distant coastlands." Obviously, I don't live in a distant coastland. Oh hey there, Minnesota! However, I'm excited that God is calling me out of my comfort zone. Here I come, distant coastlands! I am excited to see what will happen as I step out in obedience.
I'll be writing more later! Until then...
