This City.




I am the worst blogger ever. It has been far too long since my last post.

Winter is over and the springtime is here! Let me tell you, Sweden is straight out of a fairytale in the spring and summer. I have never been to a more beautiful place! I love getting on a bike and coasting as I watch the colorful architecture pass me by. Amazing. I just want to sit and type for hours about my time here thus far and about Uppsala. I am falling more in love with this city and with its Creator by the day. This city is filled with the most beautiful flowers, people, landscape, and buildings that I have ever seen; yet, there is still something even more beautiful that is being missed. Jesus Christ. It is heartbreaking to think that most of the people in this city would say, "I have no need for a God." I have absolute freedom in Jesus and in Him my life is giving purpose and meaning. I can see the world, enjoy people, taste delicious foods, and truly ENJOY life because I have no fear in this life. I am redeemed and my life is found in Christ alone. I desire this so much for this city, for these people. I want these people to expeirence the richness of life that isn't found in the bottom of the bottle, in a one night stand, or in the thought that "this is all we have." Jesus has come so that they may have life and have it abundantly! How I wish they knew how deeply and powerfully Christ loves! Pray for this with me...

" I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10
