This morning when I looked out the window I saw that the ice on our lake had disappeared. It had melted during the night. Only a few nights ago we had minus degrees ans the ice had increased on the lake. But today is a day of joy. Now spring has finally arrived. The ice has gone. Now we are waiting for the sun to heat the water that we may take a bath and nice swim in the lake. I think it will take nearly two months for the water to get the right temperature for bathing.

But today all the ice on the lake had melted. I have been working outside all day. The sun has been shining all day and we had 15 degrees in the middle of the day. I have been cutting more woods and splitting logs. And I spent a long time to cleanse my large terrace. I even had time for some garden work. My day has been full.

As I enjoyed that the ice had melted and the lake was totally free from ice, I was reminded of a prophetic word that came to us ahead of the Easter Conference. God spoke of ice melting and a cleansing to take place to bring release to new life and expansion among us. This "spiritual" ice that God is melting in our nation and his purging work among his people is a work of the Spirit of God that takes place just now. We are in the midst of a spiritual spring time in Norway. We are seeing new expression of life springing forth many places already and more will come. I am so excited to be alive and being able to serve God in a time like this.
