Only Jesus

Men det som før var en vinning for meg, det regner jeg nå for Kristi skyld som tap.  8 Ja, jeg regner alt som tap, fordi det å kjenne Kristus Jesus, min Herre, er så mye mer verd. For hans skyld har jeg tapt alt, og alt jeg har tapt, regner jeg som verdiløst skrap, bare jeg kan vinne Kristus

Fil. 3:7-8

7I once thought all these things were so very important, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. 8Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I may have Christ

Phil. 3:7-8

Summer conference in Stokke

Summer is always very good and relaxing, but also very difficult when it comes to spending time with God. I always feel like God is very distant during the summer. I guess it is because we don't meet to have church together as often. And actually I think it is easier to spend time with God when I'm busy than when I'm not. Strange. But on thursday I met Kaja, and we spent som time praying and reading the bible together, as well as just hanging out. And on Friday I went to the summer conference in Stokke, which has been great. It was good to worship together with all those people, and hear the word of God preached. And I really enjoyed camping in tents, eating breakfast  with other people, and BBQing on the beach! God is awesome.
