It is so much to say that I do not even know where to begin!
God led us to England soon 6 years ago to be able to do what we believe is right as a family – to home school our children the Lord have given us.
We came over in a Swedish white Volvo with just as many things that could fit in a car and started completely over here.
I remember how nervous we were when we left the ferry and needed to drive on the left side for the first time. We took a paus after driving a bit, just to breathe and understand what was going on!
I remember picking up the keys for the house and then drive to our new home. We were sleeping and eating on the floor because we didn’t have any furnitures.
I remember when we bought a table with chairs at the charity shop, and it didn’t come in through our door, so we ate dinner outside in the rain.
I remember the first birthday party I had here. Leo was away for work, and we had only lived here for a month, but our friends had a surprise party for me.
So many things have happened since we moved here, what feels like so many many years ago, like a lifetime and now it is time to leave. In about one month we will leave England and move on to the next step in our life.
Before we left Sweden February 2019, I thought I had it all figured out and I knew how our life would be here. But dear, was I wrong or was I wrong!!? And I am so happy that I was. I could never imagen that the Lord was going to grow me in ministry, that I was going to preach seminars, see so many miracles and healing. That I was going to grow in the calling the Lord has for me and to preach on the streets, evangelise, tell people the gospel, lead people to the Lord. That I was going to work with the homeless, to start Lifeteams and training people. Finish John G. Lakes Ministries Bible school (DBI), be ordained in JGLM, go on mission trip to Africa, fly to USA for the annual conference, travel to Austria and Italy, drive back and forth between Sweden and England so many times (the boys have been with in every step!!).
Also, have so many friends and memories, Christmases, New Years, walks, dinners, late nights of laughter and joy.
It is hard to know what to write to get you, as a reader, to understand the gravity and importance of the time here in England. This is one of our homes and we have loved it here with our whole heart and being. We have seen God working with us, for us, in us and continue to form us to His image. It has been a preparation time for the next step.
(I wanted to write all this a bit before we leave so it won’t be a surprise and if someone wants to say goodbye before we leave, now is the time 🙂 )
Africa, be prepared, we are coming!
