Shine

This week that I had was just amazing!
I was able to participate this event called Shine, held in my capital city, Tallinn!
Week full of ministry, workshops, youth festival, fellowship, international people and God!
Every day we had something new and every day I felt more closer to God, and I was more inspired to take time for Him, to talk to him to worship Him!
I just want to tell you what happened in my life during this week!
First of all, prayer room: we had this cool room for people to sign up for an hour or more, to go in there, take time off from shine and just pray. Pray for our nation, the people we are going to meet, the speakers, the other youth who were there, pray for ourselves, have a good time of fellowship! It totally worked. I was able to take more and more time for God, and I just loved it. The more I went there the more I yearned for Jesus!!
Then being brave and going on a outreach in the city. We had to choose one location where we wanted to serve our community and I chose beach outreach.. but it came out it was not a beach, it was a park, where people were relaxing and hanging out. We had to divide into groups and then while one group was praying for the people in the park and for another team, that team had to go to people and show them pictures. And whenever they were willing to take time off to see the pictures they were asked to show what pictures would go with their life at the moment or a situation they're in at the moment.
Our team was able to talk to fiew people and ask them questions and invite them to our events. I think I wanted to talk to them more about Jesus, God but at that moment I didn't have the words to speak out. I just prayed that those hearts would be opened for Jesus, so that He can take over!
Also meeting some youth from diffeent countries, who speak totally different language, but yet we have one GOD, one saviour, JESUS. The week I spent with those youth I felt so shy a lot of times. Kinda like all my courageness was taken away and I was a lot of times very shy thorwards people and meeting new people. I don't know what happened to me but I think it might have something to do with me getting to spend more time in a prayer room because of that!
I was able to meet some wonderful people though who I will miss and who I will remember, pray for and thank God for!
I also heard a new way of worship. Whenever we had evening events in Freedom square, there was a band, I call it a worship band, because I was truly able to worship God and hear their testimonies through rapping and singing! I felt touched by God several times, when listening to them and I am so thankful to you God for that!
And then also, during this week, something incredible happened to me, twice!!
First time, when God spoke to me this week was during a worship song, when I was praying to God and I was so into worshipping him, suddenly a lady I did not know came to me and told me she had a prophecy from God to me.
She started telling me how much God loves me and He has heard my cries, my tears and He has made me golden shoues to walk in and he will send me out to serve Him.
I started crying, GOD spoke to me through a person I did not know, but who was a servant of God. I was overwhelmed by joy and tears and happiness, I didn't know what to say but to hug her and thank her for coming to me because she was the answer to my prayers. God spoke to me!! He must love me.
Then second time God spoke to me was on our last day, end of our week when we had prayed over the countries and the people from different countries..first of all I want to tell you how amazing that was, we made a bridge out of our hands and the people from different countries started walking through it as we blessed them and after that we prayed for their country. We did that with every country participating  Shine week, and I tell you, that was a blessing to pray over those people and their mission in their homeland!
Then after that it happened: A girl I also did not know came to me and said: I was praying with some girls and while we were praying I somehow saw you surronded by kids. I don't know why I saw that but I thought I should come to you and say that!
I was shocked, Again!! I just sat down and stared at the floor.. what is up with God, He really wanted to talk to me. I was really amazed how much God can love me, me who I really don't deserve His love, but yet, He loves me so much, that I am to die for!!

This was my week in Tallinn!!
After this week my prayer has been to be a blessing in someone's life. I really want to walk with Christ every day, nothing is better in this world than God's love for me and my relationship with Him, my Abba!!
Praise the Lord for being so Good to me !!

Love you,
Liis
