John 15 verses 16-17.

Thoughts after house church meeting on zoom, June 6th. Where the theme was John 14 & 15. And those who were leading the house church a couple they started to read those chapters each by them selfs and than together. This was as much as I recall of what I manage to follow before I ” fell out “..

I started to read JOHN 15 and I kind of fell off or out of the ” meeting ” while I read v. 8, v.16-17 and v. 26. They spoke to me. In different ways. How the Lord is Vine and I am a branch (v.8), How HE chose me (v.16-17) & at last HE will send the Spirit & Truth to me (v.26).

Does it speak to you? What are your thoughts about this?

What is my thoughts about the fruit that John is talking about? Have I (you) been in a situation where the Father (the Lord) is the gardener and cuts of the branches of mine that doesn’t produce fruit?

Maybe. I can’t recall any situations right now. But I probobly have. How will I otherwice grow as a Christian person? How does he do it? How does he cut the branches while I still live? Well he doesn’t do it physical it’s a metafor or picture. And what is the fruit? How do I know it is a fruit from the Lord?

I recall one of the others talk about how they were thinking of the fruits. Like being a helping person or testify about what I/you belive. How Jesus is a part of my/your life.

Am I that kind of person, that talks about what I belive to those I meet? No, and I have never been. But I have a tattoo that for me is my testify of my faith. I have chosen to do it this way mostly becauce I have easily to chat with new unknown people.

In John 15 vers 8, Yes, I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who remaine in me and I in them, will produce much fruit.

How to stay and be the good branches? How to produce more fruit? That is my questions after reading this. How can I produce more fruit in my life as a Christian while I am who I am? He is the vine I am the branch. 😍 ✝️

In John 15 verses 16-17; You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. This is my command: Love each other.

HE, Jesus chose me. ✝️

He chose me to Love each other!

To do things out of love, no matter what it is You do for others.

John 15 vers 26; “But I will send you the Advocate —the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me.”

This vers talked to me in the way that ” the advocate will come to me from the Father.. ” Whatever happends I will be able to recive this as a believing Christian. I need to seek and read and talk to him who chose me. He has given me this. He has given me the Spirit of thruth! WOW what a gift to recive!! This is big!

How I sharing my faith with those I meet daily. As I wrote above, I have chosen to do it by tattoos (I will finish the one tattoo I started on in 2008 (P.U.S.H.)). Which for other people is just a symbol or letters has a bigger and deeper meaning for me and I know what it stands for and than I tell them my story. How I became a Christian and how those 4 letters is how Christian people around me prayed for me. How theirs prayers became my new path in life. The continuing of this tattoo is F.R.O.G. – Fully Rely On God. My way to the Christian I am today.

When the Lord is guideing you.

Every second Saturday I meet up on Zoom with my house church. Something I look forward every time it getting closer.

This Saturday May 23, the sharing was about ” to have faith and do what you believe “.

In Luke 6:46-49; ” you find the words about, how to build your house or Christian life on a good fundation so when the storm comes you wont fall or your house wont be destroyed. “

Is it enough to ” just ” read the Bible or Worship? How do you Live, and how do you Do it in action, what the Lord telling you to do?

Many good veres was shared!

You can have Faith in your heart, but it’s not before your Faith in your heart and that you do something in Action that the Lord can act in you!

In Matthew 12:34; ” You brood of snakes! How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? For whatever is in your heart determines what you say “.

When the Lord guideing you, You need to listen to His voice and Walk in Faith.

In 2 Corinthians 9:10‭-‬11 it says;

” Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.

For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. ”

And it was when this was reading load for the group the Lord was talking to me. He asked me to get in contact with an other person of this group. And to ask if she needed something. When she answered she said, yes. And she explained her situation and that she had asked the Lord how to do in the situation. To have faith.

I listen to the Lord and I could bless her. Me who have been blessed in similar situations. The Lord knows us and what we need to do is to walk in faith and just do.

I have been struggling with my financial situation for many years, but the Lord knows how to bless me bless others ❤. HE has blessed me with a job I love and with money when I need it. I am SO Thankful for all the things that has started in this season. And knowing HE is still guideing my feets ❤❤❤. And he knows what and when things gonna happend. 😊

Have Faith.

Be encourage.

Walk with the Lord.

Worship.

Worship is important. Maybe even more important in this crazy time of Corona.

I can not say I have felt less Christian until now. No. But I can say, I have not been worship as much I maybe should, and been needed. Yesterday, Saturday May 9, did I met up with my house church online. A wonderful few hours! And we were worshiping, praying and sharing.💜✝️

There and than I could not stop the melody in my head. It was like this song was just what I needed. It’s a Norwegian song, called “The grave is empty”.

The lyrics to, The grave is empty;

Jesus was tormented until death. Chose to bleed for my sin. He who was pure was ashamed. God made a mockery for my sake.

(Bridge) //: The tomb is empty Jesus is alive now. In honor and in power. Eternal – death is subject to Him. ://

The sun rises over the garden. The day when death came to life. Jesus is not in the grave. The night is eternally over.

Bridge; //: The tomb is empty Jesus is alive now. In honor and in power. Eternal – death is subject to Him.://

See He who died He lives. Rays of honor and brilliance. The power that overcame death. Live in those who are His.

Bridge; //: The tomb is empty Jesus is alive now. In honor and in power. Eternal – death is subject to Him.://

You can find this Song in Norwigian at YouTube. To find the melody.

For me those words were just what I needed to hear. The deep meaning, the Love from Him who loves us more than anything!

A word from those hours yesterday that stayed with me was Act 27:34-36.

“Please eat something now for your own good. For not a hair of your heads will perish.”, “Then he took some bread, gave thanks to God before them all, and broke off a piece and ate it.”,
Then everyone was encouraged and began to eat.”

How important it is for us Christians to eat and be encourage from the Lord. To stand in faith in this crazy time in the world. To worship the Lord. To have focus on the cross.

Blessed time in the Corona situation.

A part of my job those last two and a half weeks has been to go to work and help students that struggling with the digital homeschool situation.

It’s been an interesting time so far! In the same time I can feel how the Lord is protecting me both from the virus of Convid-19 and spirital.

I also see how good this opportunities for the students is, to be able to come to the School and be able to focus on the tasks and consentrate on homeworks.

This strange situation we all are into has the challenges to help each other where ever we are or what ever we are doing.

Even more important to trust Him who loves us .

It’s a blessing to work with teenagers in the school. It’s a blessing to have good co-workers and a good leading staff.

To stay healthy.

To trust the Lord.

To have faith in this corona situation.

Remember that what ever you are struggling with, the Lord is besides you! He walks with you and don’t leave you!

Remember that fear doesn’t belong to the Lord.

Continue to walk on the path from the Lord.

35 again 😉

Last Monday I thought about how I could celebrate my biRthDaY… than I didn’t think much about it. Until May 1st when a friend asked me “what do you wish for your biRthDaY?”

My answer was “I guess with friends coming over and maybe å buqette of flowers”.

24 hours before we had 5 seasons in an hour (!). We had 🌧⛈☀️🌨 and hagel…. and I had just finished moving around my furnitures on my patio and walked my cat when this weard weather came.. see the picture below.

As I started above here I had not put much thought into this day becauce of the Corona situation we have. But, I did invite my closest friends.

“You are welcome to come and celebrate me on My biRthDaY 🥳🥳. Bring what you want to eat & drink and maybe flowers. I will be awake from 10am. This is the adress xxx. Welcome!”

My fitst guest, not to close friend but she’s been my neighbour for 4 years. She came between 12 & 1pm. 🥳🥳🥳

I started to bake a cheesecake after the first visit… 🥳🥳🥳

An hour later did those 3 (of my 8est) closest friends knock on my door. 🙂🥳

🥳🥳They stayed between 2pm & 5pm 🙂💜🙂 We ate a good cake they brought. Had good biRthDaY. And I got this beautiful buqette!🥳❤

Around 5.pm when they had left, ate I dinner (and nothing else) after my breakfast at 9.40am NOT good!! I was very starving.

During my dinner the 3rd visit came 🙂🥳 also as surprice 😊😊 just like I wanted it to be. They stayed for about 25 minutes.

🥳🥳And almost an hour later when I kind of thought no one else would come the 4th guests knocked on my door and gave me something that at the first sight looked like a buqette flowers. But as more as I got the paper off I could see, it was something more soft and hairy 😄😄 it was a nice piece from a sheep to have on my bench on my patio. 💜

So, even if I didn’t think much about how to celebrate, the biRthDaY 🥳🥳🥳 became Awsome!!

I am so Thankful for my friends!! So even if we still live with restrictions from the guverment of how to act in the time of CONVID-19/ Corona, they came. ❤

April’n’May

Oh my, it’s been forever since I wrote here. 😣😕 It’s been happening so much… Where shall I start?

I’ve moved. From Oslo to Bærum, Høvik = West of Oslo. It’s closer to work from here. The 21st of March with a blessing of friends helping me. We made the whole moved in 3,5 hours!

From March 16 have I had homeoffice 🏠💻. All becauce of CONVID-19. All schools in Norway closed March 13.

Went and bought some flowers for my outside, b4 the Easter.

This week we just past 6 weeks (!) with homeoffice / homeschool.. The last two weeks I’ve been 2 hours at the school (my workplace) in combination og homeoffice, to help students that struggling the most with the digital homeschool situation. It’s been working fine. 😊

It feels good to help those who struggle the most. 💜

🐾🐾🐾🐾

Here comes some pictures from this periode and my new neighbourhood.

My cat-boy Silver exploring the parkinglot.

After the move, I felt like I was swimming in piles of laundry. I still almost all the durty sheets unwashed. 😣

But **how lovely** it is to dry the laundry in the garden when it’s sunny!

To live where I live includes a lot of work in the garden, which I like. It’s like therapy for me. And It’s easy to spend two hours outside and not just take care of all the trees but also talk to the Lord.

But it’s also so much beautiful things like those buds.

Today is 1st of May.

Yesterday evening was rainy, continuing the whole night and I think it still was raining this morning while I was sleeping.

It’s Labor day today in Norway, stores are closed, people are out and I am gonna explore more of my neighbourhood and beach area.

I started my day with coffee & breakfast and listening to my favorite pod cast with two famous people in Sweden. #wahlgren&wistam. I love it becauce it’s funny and I guess it’s becauce it’s Swedish.

Time to log out and let you read.

Prayer answers 2020.

I have recived prayer answers since January this year. One by one over two months. ✝️

It has been both prayer requests from years ago and newer requests. And the Lord is just opening up new doors and windows.

HE who knows my life knows when and what I need!

I have put my life and requests in HIS hands. I trust HIM. Cause I know HE wants the best for me.

This vers came on my email today; As you reach out for wisdom, you will gain the insight you need on financial issues.

And it is just like that!

My financial situation has been a struggle for years! But the Lord has started to Bless me and my financial. ❤✝️

F.R.O.G.

Fully Rely On God. To rely on the Lord is the key to recive answers cause he knows my life.

This is one thing I just have to trust our heavenly Father. My broken teeths. 😕

P.U.S.H.

Pray Until Something Happends. Becauce if I don’t pray nothing will happen.

P.U.S.H. & F.R.O.G. goes hand-in-hand in my life. I even have my own reminder of p.u.s.h. as a tattoo on my leg. 😉

Key words; trust and let him guide your steps.

Time with a friend.

To share life with a friend once in a while. To grab a coffee or a cup of tea. Take time – make time.

My challenge this year is to be more social with friends after work. I have not had that kind of energy before and I am doing my best to force myself to more social after work. How can I do that?

Today Tuesday I woke up one hour earlier than normal and I’ve been tired all day and I said to myself that “it’s better to go and grab a coffee with my friend and stay at home and fall a sleep in the 🛋”

I went, and I am happy I did!

To share time, life, thoughts and things we Christians experince is both encourging and good to do. To listen to the other person. To just be in the situation.

To talk with the Lord and ask for what I wish for in life after the meeting was also something we talked about over the ☕. And I reminded myself to do that. And asked to be reminded about it every day. Becauce it doesn’t matter where we talk or when as long as we do it! ✝️

To take time is to care for the other person.

/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.2020.

Forgiveness

An comman word this last two weeks both in Church and with my transdermal cell group is; FORGIVENESS. We have been sharing our thoughts and experence about forgiveness, about how to be able to move forward .

What have you been through in life that has given you a bitter taste or bitterness or maybe even depretion?

How can you Forgive those around you so you will be free and forgiven?

How to trust our heavenly Father?

How to change a pattern you have had for years?

Well, what I did was. I made up my mind. Made a decition. I had a conversation with the Lord about what I wanted to change, years ago. I have been forgiven many old classmates that bullied me as a teenager. I have forgiven my dad who hurt me for many years menthally. I have forgiven people who for some reason have hurt me.

And by forgiven them all I recieved a peace inside of me.

I steped out in faith.

I hope you get inspired to do the same. God, our heavenly Father want to help you the whole way and through the whole process it will take for you.

❤ ✝️ 🙏

HaPPy New Year – Walk in Faith.

I want to share this. And experence I’ve just had. How the Lord answering when I trust Him and when I walk in faith.

I just have to use this picture again.

I was contacted by friends to me about the place they renting right now. It’s a bit outside on the West side of Oslo but still closer to my work. Before I had resinged my rented place. (!)

They told me they gonna move into the house they bought two years ago. Which means that the place they renting will be emtpy and they thought about me.

It’s a good two room with kitchen and livingroom and a space outdoors, which could fit me and my cat 🐈.

It made me think a bit more on “what does the Lord want for me ” rather than “what do I want”.

Since I moved back to Oslo 8 years ago I always wanted to move out of Oslo cause I am not a City girl!

So,

I talked with the Lord a lot(!) in a short week.

“Is this the right place?”, “is this a part of what God put on my heart about twenty years ago?”, “Am I ready?”

I have had friends with me in prayer if this was what God wants for me.

It is an apartment next to a Mission center so it comes with some tasks. It didn’t make me unsure. It actually made me more sure that if the Lord opened up this door He knew and knows why.

So, this Tuesday I went there for a interview-chat. I met two older men in theirs 70’s and they did interviewed me! Than they asked me to go next door – to my friends “for a visit” and check the house propper and ask them questions.

After the interview they told me they gonna talk to the rest of the Mission center board.

On Thursday January 9, one of men texted me “We have decided to offer you the caretaker possion & the caretaker’s recidence”.

= that’s our prayeranswer!

P.U.S.H. – Pray Until Something Happends.

To trust Him & Believe.

To put my life in His hands was the key.

He has a path for me and if I don’t trust Him to open up or close doors he can’t use me.

F.R.O.G. – Fully Rely On God.

✝️

Question;

Do you trust Him or do you rather making your decitions?

Do you dare to always trust Him?

/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.2020.

Encourage Word.

I got this vers on my email today and for me this was just what I needed right now.What would have taken years to accomplish is now coming together quickly.For me this is about something the Lord put on my heart about twenty years ago. So yes “…have taken years to accomplish is now coming together..” is so true!

Preparing for Christmas-19.

Some of my friends has this tradition of gather friends over to bake gingerbread one week before the Christmas break starts. A nice and fun gathering.

Last week at work….

Sunset on my walk to the tram 🚋 at Bekkestua.

Icy, slippery streets with rain and snow and cold nights…

Christmas party with work, December 20 at #bærumsverk. And a chocolate box from my land lord and land lady.

And now have I finally the Christmas break. 😊 16 days 😊.

And December 21, Gingerbread cookies day with my American girl friend BobbiJo;

Sundag December 22, safron bread tradition; have the television on w/ some ski ⛷🎿 programe, make the safron bread, use mom’s apron 😉.

Until this year I have been struggling to get the Christmas feeling, but this year it felt like my mom (who is sick w/ demensia) reminded me to use her apron during the baking of safron bread. And it helped. 💖mom💖.

Merry Christmas to you All!!

🎄😊🎄

It’s already December (!)

It’s been happening a lot since last post… time flies to fast!

It’s December first of all!

And only 1,5 week until Christmas break (!) How did this happend?

No Christmas calender yet and probobly not at all. Well I survive, will you?

It’s has been ❄every 2nd week and ☁️🌧 every other 2nd week. Kind of how it was last year this time. ☹

But the mornings and evnings has been beautiful.

I did buy a fake Christmas 🎄 tree this year. A 150cm tall tree 3rd the size from previges year.

🙂 I have been so much into my work and when I finally have had free I’ve just been relaxing and enjoying I’m free.

And with free time have I been able to catch-up with life, friends and enjoying the Winter veiw of Oslo.

And color my hair back to my absolutly colour – red.

I don’t know what the next post will be about. You just have to wait and see.

/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.2019

What does Advent mean for you?

What does advent actually stands for?

It’s the waiting time to Christmas. And why is Christmas so important for us Christian? You probobly know most of it.

But if you think like this, if you don’t have the fundation to the Christian life, you can picture yourself on a hiking and as closer to top you get as more fogg it is. It’s the same if you don’t have the fundation to Christ.

In John 3.16-21 you can read about how Jesus came to save us from sin in this world and how He is the 🕯.

The next question is, Why did Jesus come?

In John 1:1 &14, you can read about how we need to believe. Have Faith.

The 3rd question, What does this mean for me, you, us?

In John 3:1-4 you can read; how I can see of the World?, what is the truth? U need to think different, of me and them around me.

If you going for a hiking-day or to the caben every thing needs tobe packed and you need to have the right gas in your car to be able to drive! The same thing is it this time, advent. We are waiting for Christmas, the time of fellowship and love to the World.

November 17, moms biRthDaY 🎉

The woman that has inspired me in many ways had biRthDaY yesterday. She became 79 yesterday 🎉🎉. She is ill with dementia and Alzheimer and she is my mom. She has learned me a lot of life, how cook food, how spend or not spend money. She is the person I look up to. She has been my inspiration in many ways.

Many people is surpriced she is still with us becauce of her illness and becauce she has been really sick twice in 13 months. Both times didn’t the doctors think she wouldn’t survive. But she is a strong woman. A lot of people was praying for her and she came back stronger. 🙏✝️

I am Thankful even though I have not seen her for the last four years. I love her even more now, than what I said or showed her when she wasn’t sick.

And I miss her.

I just want to hear her voice again…💖

She was the one that learned me to prepare food, wash clothes and make easy dinner with one of my brothers when I was 8 y.o. She nagged on me to clean my room as I become a teenager and she have helped me to move so many times 💖 (!) She has always been there even if we lived on a distance 💖 of minimum 350km to maximum 1200km for many years.

As long as I can remember she has been on a bycycle, to work or to the grocery store or prayer meeting. She loved to do easy exercice. She stoped using her bycycle about a year after she stoped to drive the car. We didn’t aloud her for safety of her self and others in trafic. But she’s been able to walk for many years. Even if it only were for 20minutes in the end, she walked. She had a small route she walked daily. 💜 She liked to be outside, she loved the forest, she went to the forest to pick wild berries and learned me where and how to find it.

This picture is from 2011 that Summer she and dad came visit me here in Norway. That was the last time she visit me. 💖 Her sickness had escalated this year and when they visit me I had to enjoy every minute I got with her being able to talk and walk. I miss that part of my mom 💖

Every year I pray I will have the opportunity to go and visit her for the last time before she is gone. 💖

I hope I make the trip in 2020 both financial and with someone that can watch my cat 🐈.

My mom was saved as a teenager and she had a relationship to the Lord. Now I 🙏 the Lord is with her every Day.

HaPPy biRthDaY Mom 💖💖💖

Love you!!

💖You have helped me in many ways in life! I can’t say it to many times, I love you Mom. 💖

Focus. Challenge. Keep reading.

I have to say it isn’t as easy to stay on the reading track as I had hope it to be.

But I am not giving up I continue to challenge myself to read as soon as I am on a bus, tram or metro for more than just two stops.

Keep reading.

Challenge yourself.

Seek the good words.

Have faith.

Belive.

Only you can change your habbit.

Only you know how to get on the right reading track!

I challenge myself and you to stay focus.

The water is from the Lord.

We need to drink and eat, we hear it often being preached. And it’s truth.

How are we living without food and water? Noone does. So how to survive without the food from the Word?

That is my question for myself when I haven’t read as I wanted.

/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.2019.

How aware are we of what we saying?

Sustainable Life: Relationships

The tongue has power over death and life.

We need to think of how and what we saying in the meeting with friends, new people, Church and family. We need to think what is coming out is it positive or negative?

Presence of positive moments.

Make sure you make positive moments with whomever you meet.

We must take care to replenish with positive words in the day, do not use negative words. Be conscious of what I said.

Why fails to stumble? What is it that makes me repeat things, words, situations without thinking about what was done?

Do they (I) mean everything they (I) say or do they (I) just say something to have something to say?

How aware are we of WHAT we say when we speak?

SMALL THINGS HAVE GREAT POWER

If we want a change we must GO to the source!

What the heart is full of what the mouth is talking about.

I hope this is as inspiring for you as it is for me. We always need to be reminded of this! To be able to live close to the Lord we need to open up our mind.

🍁 Autumn is beautiful 🍂

I just love the Autumn 🍂🍁 and this Autumn is new. It isn’t the same as the last. I hope been out in the garden today, taken away old dead branches. Been breathing in the lovely air, seen the lovely colours…

Watching the living water in the small stream in the bottom of our garden…

The ☀️ that came through the leafs and branches. To hear the water porling…

The wet grass after the rain, the small water drops glencing in the sun. It’s beautiful!

And our Lord made this for us! All the colours in all the different levels and lights or darker. And we are able to enjoy it.

I love the rainy days as much as the sunny days all along the Autumn.

Encouraging.

I just want to encourage you with few words.I have started to read the Acts. I was challenged by a preaching about two weeks ago.I started to read on the tram both towards work and while heading home from work.I can not say that I understood the first chapters I were reading but as more as I read and as more as I asked the Lord to help me understand. As more the words got an other meaning.If I only read, it’s just any other text. But if I ask the Lord to let me understand, let the Holy Spirit help me understand then it’s not just word’s.So I hope this will help some of my readers.Have faith and let the Lord help you with your reading. Let the Holy Spirit help you.

Step by step with the Lord.

The interview went well on Friday the 9th. It was a positive interview. I felt the lord was with me all the time. ✝️ The Lord gave me peace for the job and the school. I can’t say I got it because they need to call my references. But it was like the Lord spoke to me in the evening “I will give you what you need”. And I have to trust my Lord on those words.

I waited on a answer for about four day’s. Got an textmsg with information of ” We can’t give you an answer until next week about who will get the job.”

This was a answer I needed. Because this ment I had to trust the Lord on my desition. I made up my pro – con list. Prayed. And made up my mind.

I said yes to the first job offer on 50%. And today the 25th I have been working in the Youth School for a week and I’m getting there. 🙂

I think this is the place for me this School year.

I still trusting the Lord when it comes to my financial cause I can’t see how I will be able to live and pay my bills. 😟

And I don’t know what or how I will be able to support the student but the Lord knows. 😊 And that’s where my faith is.

✝️

I have to let God have the focus of my Life. I need to trust in faith. To hear Him talk. To show me what He want me to do and where.

Today have I been exploring a new area just on the boarder of Oslo and Bærum.

It’s an small river that divide the area’s a part with a bridge. This is the place…

At this water did I had a good talk with my girl friend about our daily life as Christian’s. About our gift’s our Lord has given us and how we dear to try them and learn in the process.

What we think is the hard part, how to deal with it and how important it is to share with other Christian’s!

Where the water made the whole conversation much easier for us both to share.

How I could inspire her with my faith ✝️ and how God is using me the way He does. 🙃🙂

This day become much more than I thought it would be. Just because we both shared something about our faith.

It was a good swim today in a good temperature water, with stream! But the best was the time we got together and with God!

He is where we are and He knows what we need, hear or talk about with each other.

Overandout.

Creative July 2019

July has nearly past.

A quite efficient month when it comes to sewing and redesign.

In the beginning of this month I sewed this toilet map that I use for my medication I need to have close for all kind of reasons, I did it by night just because I can, was awake and it’s Summer. 😉 The fabric was once a rain jacket, and now re-designed. It works perfect for it’s use!

This is my tunic (below) that before was a dress, long enough for me but I didn’t like the end of it so I cut it off and hand sewed the edges but after that I bought silk-needles for sewing machine I managed to sew it better and it looks even better now. I’m happy I managed to get over my *hate off silk.

Here, below, is two sewing-projects that I nearly just started. To the left, African cotton fabric that was a tunic and that I want to become Summer pants. To the right, also a tunic before with pattern I have sewn on to become shorts. Fabric linen. we’ll see how that goes in the end.

This is an other silk top project that I started last Summer and I just had to pack it away in last August-18 not really finish. And this July I finished it, by taking up old stitches, sew again, made it fit and shorten it. Now I’m happy with it and can pick up other projects that need to be fixed before I start to work in the middle of August-19. 🙂 (picture below)

In August it will hopefully be some more projects that has been on pause for a while, I can’t wait to start. I’m so thankful for chilly days like today and I’m hoping for some more. Warm day’s means less work for me, so like today when we have +18C I would have been sewing but not today… Maybe tomorrow.

When the doubt’s comes…

Time to share something to all of you are following my blog. 🙂

I went for an interview the 19^th of June two days before I ended my job and got my Summer break. I believe it went okay right after, but when I got home I was so so stressed in my brain of the fact I felt like they rushed through the interview like they didn’t have much time… I was tired and had a stressed brain for about 3 hours after the interview.

But I managed to send an other application that evening.

My life is based on that I trust God in all things I do or happening in my life. It’s just the way I have learn how to get the best relationship with God. I have to say that I doubted I could get the job and I also doubted that the job could make my financial going / making a positive side, cause it’s a 50% job. But I just have to trust God on this.

A friend of mine also told me that this might be the perfect job for me and this coming year and I just have to try to believe it.

The 26^th of June they called from the School I had the interview at, and asked me if I wanted the job. I said yes, more then less cause I am in the situation that I can’t say no which means I even more have to trust God on this.

The 4^th of July I signed the contract for the job. And I am working on the fact of trusting God on this. I don’t have a clue on what my salary will be… But God knows and He also know my financial situation and what I need to go on plus and not just survive. This last Saturday (July 13^th) I met up with an other girlfriend and we talked about how to trust God and Love Him as our Father in our life’s so He can work in us. I am still in question about this job, I still wonder if I need to find an extra job to be able to live and just survive… I do not even know if I fit the job – connect with the teenager I am going to work with. Right now I am trying to not think to much about this and really trying to enjoy life without doubt in what God has open up for me. I mean, God did give me an interview and a job which is what I asked for.

I have figured that it is quite easy to talk about “Trust God and try to live like it” but to actually believe it for 100% and live it is harder when the doubt comes!

I can not recall that I have doubt about a job like I do about this. I have just been so happy I got a job, every time I got a job that I just Thanked God for it. So why am I doubting now? I know my Father and I know what he wants what’s best for me. And all my friends who know me and my journey to get where I am today, are happy for me. That I finally got a job after 7 years of trying, prayers and not given up the hope. My stubbornness has been my strength in combination of my faith. I have been able to turn all rejects into an attitude that I will get through and I will get the job God wants for me. And here I am doubting… I should be overwhelm of happiness and praise the Lord for what He has given me.

Maybe I just needed time to adjust with this Summer break to see this clearer?!

Maybe I needed to write down all my thoughts and share it with you to understand how great God is to me?!

Maybe I just needed to talk about this with my friends and the weight of believe, to get a better understanding?!

A faith that hold and carry us.

(From the preaching June 23.)

Life challenge when we ask God specific what we want and which door He open.

Genesis 15:1-5;

1,«After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, «Do not be afraid, Abram I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.» 2,But Abram said, «Lord God, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damscus?» 3,Then Abram said, «Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!» 4,And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, «This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.» 5, Then He brought him outside and said, «Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you able to number them.» And He said to him, «So shall your descendants be.»

What do we do when things doesn’t go like we want? Have God told you something that you are still waiting on? How does God’s challenge you? And does God challenge you like he challenged Abraham?

Are you trusting God and God’s plan, when things aren’t going like you thought? Are you standing there and asking «where did you go God?» Just because you don’t feel God?

What does the Hebrew letter say to us?

Hebrew 6:13, 6:19.

6:13; «For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself»

6:19; «This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the evil.»

Where are your anchor?

Who is your anchor?

Are you trusting God and His plan for your life?

Why do we fear God and don’t trust ourselves? Because we don’t trust God enough.

How and what do we do with the covenant we have to and with God?

Make sure that the anchor fall totally down to the bottom. Make sure that the anchor do it’s purpose in your life!

Does your faith endure challenges?

Do you trust God?

moving-day — The challenge from God can look or feel like this sometimes.

My thoughts….

I know I trust God. I reminding myself of the fact that I have to put all my life into his hand if my life is gonna to work. If I don’t trust my Heavenly Father I don’t know how my life would look like. Well I know it wouldn’t look like it do right now.

This preaching has enough questions to read this more then twice! Which I hope you do. Sit down somewhere you feel you can get some input from God. Think over those questions, see if you can answer them right away or if you actually need some time maybe days. It’s not an easy answer here!

As far as I know, I know I trust God and give Him my life every day but do I listen to all He says? I believe I miss some of all the things he is trying to tell me. I can be busy with other things or maybe it’s the TV that take “all my attention”?

I want to be challenge of God in my life, I don’t know if I am ready for it all the times though. I believe those questions are important! to live with every day! And I think it’s one of the challenges God has given us.

To be there and listen to him.

To trust him always.

To not fear.

To accept a challenge and learn on the way in our Christian life wherever we are in our journey with Him. ❤

The World Most Important Habits.

This is a resume from the preaching from May 19th from my Church.

To do things automatically as God had done it.
Emotions are both good habits and bad habits.

Living purely, gives better visibility in life, and then you know where you are going.
If you walk in the fog, you often get lost.

To make a choice in Life with God and You can serve in another way. Connect the heat to what God has given you.

To serve is all about finding the Balance in your life.
Make choices. Uncovering habits. Don’t think so much about the feelings when the choice is made.

What you are doing over time turns into good habits.
See people around you. Put away what makes you self-absorbed.

I hope you get some positive input from this post. 😉

To be you and share your life.

Yesterday on my way home I was thinking about to write here, thinking on what to share. I did not get longer then that. The sun’s heat hit my brain, to the point that when I were home the only thing I could think of was ice cream, water and how to get my body colder. But here I am, the day after. Actually writing.

And what I want to share is a part of my daily christian life. How my work feels like a blessing and how to be a blessing to someone that is just visit your city for a Day or two. How to be you and share your life, as simple as it is. And how important it is to be you in any situation. ❤

How I on my spear-time share my life with tourist-girls, to stay in my house and sleep on my couch because I have a profile on couchsurfing.com. How I through this – CouchSurfing environment – can be a blessing for those who want to have an experience of Oslo, my city, and by my faith trust God that this time with those girl who I accept to stay, will I somehow put a seed into those girls life. My simply life can be a blessing because Norway is an expensive country to visit!

Last time I had a CouchSurfer girl here is not that long ago, but I had a long break to host between august-18 to now in May-19 (!) I felt God talking to me to just say yes to her to stay with me. I did not read a thing about her when I accepted her stay. I did read on the way down town, just before I actually met her on the bus station. Thinking “Okay this will be interesting”, Let me be able to share something.

She arrived around 3pm a Friday, we bought a 24-hour ticket to her to use, catch the tram to the grocery-store and headed home from the rainy Oslo. Got home, soaking wet and made a warm meal for both body and stomach. She went out to explore Oslo few hours that evening. When she left it had stop raining but after a small hour the sky open and the rain came hard. I got some hours to relax my body after a “long” day at work. (Long in the meaning that wrong shoes, walking a lot, rain and musical revy made by som dysfunction youth, WOW what a good Revy!)

When she got back, soaking wet one more time, we had a chat about 30minute before we fell asleep. She had noticed the words I have around my apartment “Love”, “Grace”, “Joy”, “Faith”, “TrustHim” and “Believe” and asked me if I believed and I answered Yes, I believe in Jesus. And we talked about her background and I told here how I got back to my life in faith. I think, that I planted a seed into her mind. And I can only pray for her and that God lead an other Christian person into her life where she is now.

This is also the reason for me to have a profile in this environment, where any-kind of girls can stay for free and use money and time in the city. To explore Oslo. To be able to arrive late and leave my home whenever it fit them the next day.

God has show and given me greetings with the words “Your creative part will explode and I will help you to see the green grass”. I believe this blog and the CouchSurfing is two of those things this year and I am curious to see what he will do for and with me the years that are coming!
