The best hallelujah i'v ever heard

Aiming the stars

Just kidding, but yesterday was great. We ( Vanity fair) were playing in club "Kastro" taking part in the annual Rock Fest. We were competing with the other bands, and got most votes that night which means we will probably go to the finals.
The way we played was awesome, you could feel the energy, and i think i'm getting new addiction--- playing live:)

Ohrid Boiler room ?

Yeah, I spent last several days in Ohrid with Scot and Gricko and it was great time visiting some people that we know, discovering new Irish pub  but also spying the land for the boiler room idea.
Scot came with this idea some weeks ago and it’s growing beyond just a good idea, we can sense God in to all of this.
The idea is starting a boiler room in Ohrid after Scot and Misty spend a year at a boiler room that Markus is leading, get in to Transit school, and than start that in Ohrid. And the place is perfect for this kind of things.
It is a town with reach history, there was University found by St.Klement with 3000 students 200 years before the university in Bologna, the monasteries around were rich learning and spiritual centers. We met one local philosopher who tour us around historical places, and it was so special when he was explaining some of the old Christian symbols and how the early Christians found Christ in everything (not in a pantheistic way that everything is God but that you can see him in everything) and how they lived in harmony with the nature, things that we, 21-th century digitals need to rediscover.
It’s a perfect place for mission, three months of intense tourism makes this place one of the most strategic place in Macedonia, and contemplation, the slow pace of life and breathtaking nature through the rest of the year make it a place where someone can in combination with discipline and communal life be transformed in to a spiritual giant.

If you have chance to watch this episodes, do it. It’s the best thing I have watched for years and all those statements that you will read on the cover of other DVD’s how suspense is this or that movie can be flushed in the toilet. 24 is the definition of suspense.It’s real art to make 24 episodes that keeps you biting your finger nails. There’s great insight into leadership, and you can learn a lot how can ego and arrogance blur you for the right decisions.
Scot and Misty have the season four and they can be your official dealers, but when you get addicted and feel the first signs of withdrawal, please don’t cry, there are others in your shoes too :)

To blog or not to blog?

It was a while since I haven’t written anything on my blog, which gives you time to consider why am I doing the things I’m doing. This past year and so was an amazing time of bloging journey, and I went through many phases of what this is.
Someone can say it’s a freedom of speech, so anyone can write whatever he/she likes, and I can say yes on that. We are all individuals and anyone should express on their way. It was a journey to me, from the highlands of happy moments, highroads of traveling, valleys of sorrow, deep moments, shallow moments, pure fun, boredom, I was naked (not in a literal sense) and vulnerable to that point that I have considered deleting the post next day. To come to my point--- I see bloging as a great tool to stay in touch with people, get in to their lives and they into mine, it is a wonderful medium of self expression and connection, but there is a thing that really start bothering me, and it is concerning those that I know personally but this concern can be applied universally. What bothers me is why we are not so real in our real lives and relationships, why is so easy to be honest when you are alone in front of your "radioactive" screen, why is so easy to express yourself, but when we come together we have so little to say, so many shallow words and acts, so much afraid of each other, so afraid to be who we are. Our posts scream for intimacy, acceptance and real friendship, but after all it’s secure in front of the screen, right??!!
Friends it is a global alienation of persons, more and more are searching for their intimacy in one small modem where we can be who we like to be, no one sees our eyes, and this post is not against bloging nor limiting our freedom of speech and expression, but a call to come out of our worlds, to start building friendships, to be who we are made by God, to laugh and cry, to be strong .to be vulnerable and after all TO BE REAL!!!!!

Info

Ok I left my job, moving from apartment in to my small house that I have been renovating this past 10 days, several days left to the 24-7 conference in London, I will try to be more on the blog but I don’t have internet at my new place so will see...
Among many sheets of paper on which I write my thoughts I found this one while I was moving.

I said to myself, I will stop dreaming about real love, I will meet my needs.
And I stuck a knife into my heart.
I have killed myself

oooops

i tried to change the template and have erased the links, i'll add them as soon as possible. cheers

Thrilled, sad and challenged

Hey my friends, after two weeks in Ohrid we are back with the post-ohrid depressed syndrome :) Why? Well we lived, eat, swim, get mad together, we met new and old friends, hang out, drink bear and suddenly again alone in our apartments, it get's your mood down. There were great times in Ohrid, the 24-7 team was awesome, we functioned great, time spent with people was deep, alpha course went well; we are planning to go more frequently to Ohrid this year and start with the group of people that we know. In meantime I didn’t accomplish to get visa for Germany because I didn’t get the invitation letter on time (It get lost or something) which saddens me, for I wanted to meet all those great people to dream together, but there are some great news, Scot and Misty are coming to Skopje end of August and will stay through the winter with us, great encouragement and refreshment. This is the couple that we met this May on 24-7 Big Conversation in Belgrade who left their comfort to serve the Lord.
I’m challenged as time approach for me to leave my job, so that I may be totally free to serve the Lord, but now I’m also totally dependent on Him for provision. I have this inner green light that I’m doing the right thing and I know that He will provide, it’s interesting to see how He will do it. Adventure, adventure we cry, so here it is, ha ha...
There is also a challenge as we are going to be sent this September to plant new congregation.
I’m full with expectation about this and there is boiling creativity inside of me that waits to be unleashed.

So Lord be with us as we sail this uncharted seas
Grant us strength to fight the monsters
For we know there is far more behind the horizon
We can’t loose anything for in You we have gained everything
