Hi guys, it's snowing in Norway even though it's way into March and I'm sitting here and I'm
practicing. Tomorrow is my big night and I'm going to be part of this concert in the cathedral here
in Bergen and I'm sitting here and practicing last minute and I feel I've been going through
it in rest which means, I don't know, that I've been relaxed most of the time and just kind of
try to live in freedom with it and just go with the spirit but also I haven't really practiced
that much. Maybe I felt a little bit, I don't know, you can't be too free but maybe, I don't know,
there was something that was really hard for me to discipline myself and I just want to move in
freedom but then also realize that in rest you can also work. Like that doesn't mean you have
to be stagnant in this discipline that's choking you like I have been for years but I can have
freedom in practicing like and be diligent in my skill. So I'm sitting here Wednesday night
and I'm practicing and singing the lyrics again and again, memorizing and I feel what's going on
this last week of rest intensive is that I'm going up on the horse again singing. I haven't performed
since before COVID and then I was in a band and we were traveling actually singing in several
prisons in my hometown and then COVID hit and I don't know, you guys all know what happened and
there hasn't been that many opportunities to sing and also I think it a little bit died in me.
Same thing with traveling. I used to be a big time traveler and then I went to Taiwan, last big travel
2019 and COVID hit and I stopped singing and I stopped traveling and yes some things just died
in me and I think it all comes back to God giving me back what the devil stole from me
and but I'm doing it in rest this time. I'm learning how to sing and perform in rest,
to even practice lyrics in rest and to travel in rest. So Annette and I booked a ticket to Spain
yesterday. We're going to Spain by first abroad travel in three years, three and a half years
actually and I just felt a lot of peace going through it. I usually am really stressed when I
book tickets with finding the right place, the right price, the right hotel, just lots of like
organizing with the person you're traveling with and yesterday I was just at peace through the
whole process and also going through fear with this concert, sitting here and practicing and
knowing that God is in control. He's gonna be go with us, we're gonna have a lot of fun in Spain
and yes that this concert tomorrow that God will actually use us and to sing into people's hearts,
everyone that's coming. So I do feel excited and a bit like oh my gosh it's the night before and
there's so many things that needs to fall into place but I feel like I'm moving through it in
rest. Yes so that was my first update on the last week and I'll see you guys again
one more time in the last journey share. Yes that was a little bit for me.
