Went to Finland last week on Friday and came back this Wednesday. It was a great time (of course every trip has its bad moments and so did mine) and I had a lot of things happening to me.
Since I was babysitting Ester just before the trip for 2 weeks I got a little money from my parents. Ab 100 Euros. So I did buy a new winterjacket and some little stuff for me and Timo. And so the 100 Euros was gone by the end of the trip. But not really. Here is the thing. I still have that 100 Euros now. U ask me how? I will tell you.

2 people, both of them, decided to bless me with 50 Euros... And so in the end it feels like no money was spent but somehow I have new clothes in my closet... How? God provides.
I put this 100 E into my wedding envelope. I love my wedd envelope. It has about 250 Euros already and all of it has been a blessing from friends... I love how God provides.
God blesses also in other ways. Through encouraging words ("You have a beautiful voice, you have a blessed voice, a strong voice")... through beautiful and long hugs (people crying on your sholder because they feel the love of God through you)... Through gifts (recieved some good gifts during the trip) and through His word and worship.
I am a blessed woman. Im getting married. I have a home now. Even though I still dont have a job Im blessed. Blessed to be where I am. I do believe that coz when the storms come I have something to hang on to!
My wedding planning is sometimes driving me crazy. I love it and I dont love it sometimes. I love the detail stuff, finding things, I hate the money side... I guess every bride and groom have gone through the same hate/love relationship.
Its a bit strange to plan a wedding at a same time with your sister, but good also. You can share thoughts and ideas and... I love Vaarika. I LOVE that both of us are gonna get married in the coming year. Wow, its gonna be KIRSIKA PAPPE and VAARIKA MACDONALD then. :D How weird? :) Alright.

What a testimony! I'm so glad to know how the Lord is blessing you and how people are receiving His blessing through you. It doesn't surprise me at all, but it's still so good to hear!
I just found something today that I think you might be interested in. There is a ministry in Denver, Colorado called Worship and the Word.

If you go to that website, click on Downloads, and in the music player, there is a track called "Pray for Estonia". There you can hear Helina Voogne praying and reading scriptures for your country.
I think it's important that you know that the Lord has put Estonia so deep in my heart. I really don't know what He has planned for me and your country, perhaps it's just that I need to intercede and pray for Estonia. The Lord is doing some mighty things through you and through your people. He has blessing and no curse for Estonia. You are His beloved. He cares and loves you and your people. You have so much spiritual authority through the name of Jesus. You, Kirsika, and you, Estonians. I pray that you will really understand that fully.
Love you, my friend!

Oh yes... on that site, you can find several tracks of prayer in Estonian, too. :-)
