I'm so sorry, my dear friends, that I haven't writen here for a long time.
One month finished since I've been here in the United States. It's a long period of time but on the same time it's just begining.
During this time God already shows me a lot of things. This is God's present!
I have a lot of different opportunities here. One of the most important thing is that I can observe and learn how people serve God. I see that people have a strong relationship with God and between each other.

I'm reading book "The Heart of the Artist" (Rory Noland). It's a great book for people, who wants to serve God and have success, especially in worship. I want to share with you some thoughts.
The arts can be extremely powerful. They can awaken us to truth and can change lives.
Our message (ministry) is "demonstration of the Spirit's power".
Proven character is level (standart) for ministers.
Authenticiy is a powerful witness to the presence of God in our lives.
Integrity simply means doing what's right in God's eyes.
Barriers to true sevanthood: an attitude of Superiority, selfish ulterior motives, confidence in our giftedness alone.
Serventhood starts with humility. Humility means moving from selfcenteredness to God-centeredness.
Healthy boundaries are a must if we're going to serve the Lord with joy and gladness. We need to think about our family, health and in a right time say 'no' for something, if we don't want to burn out on ministry. We can spend too much time at church and neglect out family, our health, and even our relationship with the Lord but that's real shame because it doesen't glorify God to burn out.
The ultimate test of serventhood is whether you can be content to serve an audience of One, when it's OK to serve in anonymity. We need to serve God, not people or serve ourselfs.
Relationship is very important im ministry!!! But it's very hard to build them and relationship are a lot of work.

So, here is some thoughts. I continue to read this book and will share with you some thoughts again
