The Freedom Fighter

First of all, I hope everyone read the previous post that Niklas wrote in English! He is practicing his English more and more as we prepare for our five week stint in the grand U.S. of A.

Niklas will be preaching on July 17th in my parents' church. He preached there last year and I translated for him. This year he is seriously considering preaching in English himself! Which would be cool, even though I really enjoy translating him. The translator can come into the anointing just like the preacher can! That was definitely a wonderful experience for us.

Today was Sweden's national day, meaning they celebrated the fact that the country of Sweden exists. It isn't at all as big here as say, the fourth of July, or as Norway's May 17th, which is weird. Otherwise, in sports and stuff, they are pretty patriotic. I guess this day just never was a big deal and so there are no major traditions attached to it. Instead they have lots and lots of fireworks on New Year's Eve.

I think I find out tomorrow how I did on my big huge BioChemistry exam. If I didn't pass, I get the chance to take another similar exam, but then I would have to study like crazy again in the days leading up to the exam on the 12th. But if I passed, then I can take it easy and do other errands and important stuff before the trip to the US. I guess I will blog how it goes.

We watched an interesting movie today that I have seen before and heartily recommend because it contains such a message of freedom and redemption and selfless giving. It is the movie "Les Miserables" from 1998. It is very good.

I remember I watched it alone in the movie theater for some reason when I was in college, and I couldn't stop weeping after it was over because I was so touched by how much we have been truly set FREE in Jesus Christ. FREE. Free to live a completely new life without fear of the past or of the future. Awesome.
