I got a prayer request today originally from a Finnish brother (Risto) about the war in Ukraine. The following is my translation (and I've added those in parentheses):
"The Russian troops have started to deport Ukrainians to Russia from the areas they have conquered. This same thing happened also during the Finnish Winter War (against Sovietunion), when the Finnish warprisoners were deported to Siberia (into labour/concentration camps).
Only God can stop this. Let us pray that God will intervene and stop this, and also that only God's will will happen in the Ukranian war and not the will of the rulers of this world."
I found a link about how Ukrainians are being deported to Russia:
@Susan that's awesome. Jo had been thinking it, but hadn't yet said anything. Thankyou.
We'll factor that in.
Thanks again

@Susan not a problem. I was worried is done something wrong to make it disappear
Andy B
@Susan super encouraging Thankyou.
I agree - numbers aren't the goal here! I just want people to know that no matter what they are going through, whoever they are, irrespective of what they have done, there is a hope that can overcome all of those things.
Your prayers are very much in line with prayers from another faithful sister!!
I'm overwhelmed by your kind comments, and encouragement.
Thank you

Hello Andy, Once again, praising the Lord for bringing this book to completion and for His Glory!!! It is no coincidence that you have written this book for the hour in which we live! In response to your message, may I remind you of what you already know well, that the Lord gave you the rich life experience as well as the words and the vision for this book to reach, encourage, strengthen and transform many hearts and souls with the Hope of Glory that is found only in Christ Jesus our Lord! And so, I pray for the Holy Spirit to prepare the minds and hearts of those whom He will reach through this book. I pray that it will have exponential outreach in transforming souls for the Kingdom of God. We don't need large selling numbers (I hope you agree) we need transformed hearts and lives, one by one, beginning with us.
Congratulations once again on the book's completion! I am excited for how the Lord will use it to transform many hearts and bring glory to His name!!!
@Susan Hiya Susan, I was reading your comment, game back to it, and it had disappeared...it was one about praying for my book...
@tanjaostman these are beautiful words!

@tymektt oh this is so good😂

@Susan thanks so much. I'll be honest, I'm feeling super excited and super worried all at the same time - will anybody buy it, or like, or read it?
So thrilled to have done this, and got this far. It's definitely something new I've done!!
Https://www.berrybunch.family/books/ is the best place
These are wise words on the reason why we pray - from my good friend Andy Brown, and his brilliant book "A Journey With Jesus - 40 Day Devotional".
A great way to make sure I don't jump too fast into a busy day is to take some time out, first! Wisdom I learned a long time ago - because the busiest days need gaps for air!!!

I saw that earlier too... interesting how those citing free speech and inclusivity are the most bigoted and least accepting of someone else's beliefs

So I did a thing !
I clicked the publish button for my first book...which means the eBook will be available for pre-order within the next 72 hours.
Both the paperback version, and eBook version, will be published - on Amazon from Friday 25th March.
Feeling both nervous and excited for my new little baby - Broken Dreams, and Hope!

I read this quote by Vlad Savshuk randomly on YouTube and thought it was very good:
"A person can be affected by the power of God (resulting in amazing experiences), but not surrendered to the power of God, which results in a changed life. King Saul is a perfect example of that."

A picture of Finnish soldiers on skis, with Russian soldiers that are captives, during the Winter War (WWII). @sinbach told about these swift soldiers on skis, on a BTJ podcast episode. He's not the only one who has compared the war in Ukraine, with the Finnish Winter War. Stalin believed Finland would be overtaken in less than 2 weeks, but Finland showed unexpected resitance (just like Ukraine). We stayed independent.
