Walking in faith, following my guts, trusting the Lord, October 23rd.

For the past week I have been talking a lot to the Lord, after I was asked to come for an interveiew – a job I applyed for in early October. A 50% job in after school club. When I applied I didn’t have many day’s as a subtitute co-teacher which I have now.

On my way to the interview I talked to the Lord. Trying to find pro’s and con’s towards working there if they offered me the job. I didn’t have the peace inside as closer as I got to this school, it was like I just knew whatever I said in there I wouldn’t say yes. At the interview I answered as good as I could. I guess it went fine. I really tryed to point out that I like myself in the middle age of the Norwegian School. And that I’ve only worked one year in the after school club. With not so good experience, which I told them about. (Norwegian School system 1st to 4th grade = lower part, 5th to 7th grade = middle part, 8th to 10th grade = high school)

Talked a bit more to the Lord on my way home, realizing I don’t want this job at all. Sent a snap to a close Christian friend, who asked my why I didn’t want it. My answer was easy. It’s the wrong age. And I know, that it is the wrong age.

I have sent an email to the school, letting them know I am not interesting. And I have Peace. Trusting the Lord in this. Walking in faith. Yet, I don’t know how much I will be working this fall, but I know the Lord will guide my steps to what he wants for me.

The Prace from the Lord is what I lean to. Knowing I am doing the right thing 😊 .

Yet I don’t have a clue what the Lord has for me in the future and that is okay. Becauce I am walking in faith this fall.

Interveiew day.

Went well. I felt like jome there speaking English 😊. I’ve done my part and now it’s “just the waiting” to see if the Lord open or close this door. I have no expectations just becauce I am now so used to get a deny. But if the Lord open up this opportunity for me I will enjoy working with those students/pulpils with special needs and in an English speaking enviroment!

If I don’t get the job I think I will have enough to do by being a subtitute teacher in the 5(!) Schools that wants me!! 😊 So now it’s up to the Lord 😉.

And I have enough things to do before the move in the end of September to even “think to much” about this interview.

OMG! I got an interveiew on the British School!😍🙈😍

I can’t really believe it’s true. Last time I applyed I got an deny. And I didn’t changed much on my application! Maybe it wasn’t so many that applyed. I don’t know. But I got it- interview! 😍😍

I read the email just before I fell a sleep last night (31st of August). I am so thankful to the Lord that I kept pushing myself to apply.

Woke up 1st of September still smiling. And even in the evening (10pm) calling a friend it hadn’t landed 😆😆😆. I am getting there – with the feeling of I actually got an interveiew.

Meanwhile I have other challenges to deal with or sort out or figure out. But I will not do it alone cause I trust the Lord and I know He will both guide and provide for me.

And I am moving 🙂🙃 and this time I’ll stay there for more then one year! It’s the perfect apartment!! 2 bedrooms, open kitchen – livingroom, bath bigger than I need 😆😆, parkinglot (not commen) and the best to last, a terrasse without a lot of sun 😍😍😍😍. 🌳🌳🌳🌳 just outside the windows 😍😍😍. I love it!!

It feels like the Lord have improved and keep blessing me with places I need every time I move. 🙏. This one is also lower rent then most around in the same suburb 🙏🙏. Walking distance to bus stops or a 20min walk in to the city center 😍😍 perfect for CouchSurfers or friends to visit. Coast line walking paths 5 min away 😍😍.

In 2010 I worked nearby where I soon will live, so I know some part of the suburb. Love the nature in this suburb!!

3,5 schools that are interessted to have me on their subtitute teacher list 😍😍 , one school is in walk distance from my new home 😍😍.

I don’t know how this Autumn will end but I am fully trusting the Lord. He knows my path and that’s enough for me. 😊😊.

Interview week 😊, August 23.

So I had one interview this Tuesday the 8th, after school program (SFO). It didn’t feel like an interveiew at all, more like they had to many to meet. And I also got a negative vibe in the spiritul world. And I am not so keen on this job, mostly cause it’s only 50%.

Late yesterday (9th) I read my email and there it was a new request for an interveiew. I just called them now (09.30am, the 10th) about the time and they will call me back.

Interveiw Friday 08:30, August 11th, kindergarten. Not what I really want but I can work there if I don’t get anything else.

I will also call the rest of the schools I’ve applied to, to hear where they are in the process of applications today (10th).

This job journey is for sure very different from the last years! Yet I am trusting the Lord to open up the right Door of job. Cause the Lord have giving me Peace.

Friends and Family praying.

The peace the Lord have giving me, where most people would freak out cause they yet don’t have a job when the school starts in a week. I just trust Him who will and can provide.

August 10th, afternoon I recieved a txt msg that the posission (Tuesday interview) got filled. Oh what a relief!! Cause I really didn’t wanted it.

On the train Friday August 11th.

A chill walk to the train in the morning sun with the Lord, on the train trying to wake up… listening to a podcast. Soon walk to the bus towards the interview.

Interview day, June 29th-22, Bore.

I had a bad night, didn’t sleep well at all 😔. Have maybe slept 4,5h 🤪🤪. But didn’t have a problem to get up at 06am. 😊 Had enough time to get ready, eat breakfast and catch the bus into town at 07.14 am. It was🌡+14°C when I woke up and it can be +24°C.

It’s Wednesday, June 29th 08:13am. I’m on the train towards the interview. The sun is up. It will be an other warm day… The train takes 30 min going south from Stavanger to Klepp county. And the school I have applyed to is 7 min away from the train station.

Bore school yard.

The interveiw was at 08.40am ish, for approxy 30min. As any other interveiw I’ve been to, I asked the Lord for the right words before I got there and so I said what I got. Walked around the school yard before I went back to the local bus, back to the train and texted my referenses that this school would call them the same day.

I got on the train further back home with a small break at the bushub in Stavanger for some breakfast and energy 😉.

Got home around 11.30am and 11.59am the school called and offered me to work with them 🤪🤪😊. It went crazy fast!!

The nxt day I headed towards Trøndelag county…

Wierd atmosphere, speed-interveiw & Gods protection.

I got an interveiw yesterday the 9th in the suburb Ålgård about 30 minutes east of Stavanger. I came 45 minutes early (becauce I hate to be late) sat down outside the School and talked out loud with the Lord what I was thinking there and then.

One thing I knew directly when I sat down, but also on the bus on the way there, was that I don’t want to work in an area where I only see mountains. Which this area /county has a lot of.

Small town Ålgård, Gjesdal county.

As I was talking to the Lord I got a bad feeling inside of me. Like an emptiness. Like a spiritul thing is the closest I can describe it.

Time flew fast and sudden it was time to go inside to the speed-interveiw.

I met one of five of the people that would interveiw me few minutes later, in the hall where the emptyness and wierd feeling appeared again.

And during the interveiw, it felt like a hole of something not good would happend. Super wierd for me. I can’t describe it on any other way.

I answered the questions they had, and told them about who I am and my background. And in one way it felt like I was talking to wall on the other hand I was there with them…. 🤪🤔😬

And the last minutes of this speed-interveiw I got this really not good feeling, like I just wanted to run outside and not be there anymore. Like something bad would happend.

I got out with goose bumps and felt light dizzy in my head.

Catched the bus to Sandnes county where I needed to switch to the train to Stavanger, before catching “my” bus home. And there, in Sandnes, did I start to “feel normal” an hour later… Still talking to the Lord. Asking him to guide my life and let me feel better.

Back home, still talking to the Lord, I got a sentence in my head “it will come something else” and a peace inside took place to not take this job. Yet so so tired in my head, like I had been in a mall or worse with hundreds of people in many hours. But I guess that’s how it feels like when it is something going on in the spritual world.

Any other interveiw I have had before, I feel nervous directly after & until I recive any kind of answer. This was the very opposite! Like the Lord was protecting me. That’s the only way I see it.

Thank you Lord for the talk yesterday & your guidans & protection & the peace! I trust you heavenly Father.

PS. This is as scarry as when I knew I had to trust the Lord for a job & place last year this time.DS.

To stay on track.

My internship has been a fast learingcurve. A wonderful place. I have been Creative on an other level 😍

I’ve baked, making cards and recycled paper to new more fansy paper 😊

Since December 23rd have I once again wripped my head around and added an extra gear, to look for jobs and write applications.

I have the same goal as I had this August, to get a job.

And after five applications I got a phonecall from an employer this Tuesday, they want me to come for a interview the 13th of December.

A special Day for me with long traditions. So this Day will be even more special 😊

The date 13 have never been spooky or a bad day. I do not believe in that.

(13th of December a very traditional day for me to celebrate Lucia.)

I am determined to get back to work after seven years without a job. It’s been my Journey. I have learn a lot about life and what my heavenly Father wants me to do, how act and listen.

I have learn to listen and have patience. To trust, in both myself and my heavenly Father. To believe. To ask for guideness.

He has show’n me what’s importent in life and how to relax in His word and Him.

I am exited to see where He is sending me.

I am thankful for every job I have applyed to and didn’t get for the right reason 😊

My advice, trust God because if you don’t you will not understand what He wants most for you.

Have patience. If you don’t feel you have enough patience, ask for more!

I have a tattoo that reminds me on a thing that is both small and big.

This is my reminder of my Journey, Life, How to Live, What to Expect from the Lord. And this is a part of Everyday life.

How importend it is to remember those Words. Where ever you are in life. What ever you do or don’t do, want or wish to do.
