The Rat Virgin


So this is probably the worlds ugliest statue in the entire world. It’s called the “Virgin Rat” and yes the rat is coming out of her private part. Theres a slide in the middle of it and it makes a really creepy sound when you go through. One thing not to see when you go to Norway. Also I have noticed that Norway has very many random naked statues. There was a naked boy one laying in the grass reading a book, another one with a naked girl doing yoga next to the river.
            The schooling starts tomorrow so no more vacation for me! I’m extremely excited but a little nervous for it. Its gonna be really, tough but I know I’ll be able to grow so much and be stretched. We just got back from hiking out in the wilderness on Saturday and it was extremely beautiful not like this rat women.  So we backpacked into the mountains and then set up camp. They wanted us to bond so they split us up into teams for the trip and our first task was to build a shelter with a tarp and rope. And that was the shelter for the night it was so cold you guys dont even know! it was 4 degrees Celsius. BRRRR! The next day we hiked out and they took us to a cabin on the lake and it was so incredibly amazing there. Blues skies rocky lake shores and a beautiful sunset(would have been best with garrett and Justin hah, only they will get that). But i'm getting to know everyone and everyone here is awesome and just has such a passion for Christ. Its a great community. And I know the lord has picked each and everyone to be here and I'm so thankful for them. Great great people. The lords been teaching me so much here already what it means to start each day being in the word and speaking to God, and just having a heart to talk to people i would not want to talk to, and lastly prayer. Prayer is so powerful God heres all of our prayers so i just wanted to encourage everyone with prayer to have the confidence to know that God hears you and he loves it when we pray to him! god is good, So good.

Also we're getting ready to go to Sweden Tuesday-Saturday to celebrate YWAM's 50th anniversary woot! woot!

1 Peter 2:4-5

4As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him 5you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 

This scripture stuck out to me so much the other day. Telling me that my time being here in YWAM is pleasing to God through Christ. And that is so amazing and encouraging.

  1. Firstly, I really like that scripture. Secondly, I like the shout out you gave Justin and I. I'm assuming you didn't see any dolphins at this sunset either.
