Let me lift you. Let me take your burden. Give me your life just as it is right now. Don’t change anything. I want you.
Let me see you. Let me in to your heart. Let me see you sad or broken. I want your heart. I want you to be 100% honnest to me and give me everything, so I can help you.
I want you to feel light as a feather.
Let me be a part of your life. Let me lift up your feet from the ground. Let me take care of you. Trust me, that I can make you be light without any weight. Without any burden.
I want you to fly like a feather, high in the sky, above the clouds.
Give me your heart.
Give me your hand.
Let us walk together.
These are the words I recived while I was praying & knitting at the pray & worship Thursday evening, March 17.
…when the back is sad. Well I have been fried meatballs and chops in the oven while I have spooled bobbin thread for all future sewing projects.
And now when the food is done I’m going to pop up the elastic band in a skirt that has worn too little 😆😆 or I’ve gained weight since I bought it 😆😆. And then I will reuse it in a wool coat after ❤Mom❤.
I do want to go to Church but my back is not in a good shape 😔😔 so I’ll stay home and being creative.
While I’m doing this I’ll be listening to preaching whether it’s on youtube or podcast it remains to be seen 😉. Anyway is it a big chance the Lord gives me something I need.
I have learned the last ten years, that I need to listen to my body first no matter what my head wants and I have peace for that I stay home some Sundays. Even if I both like and enjoy go to Church and trying to find new friends I just have to take it as it comes. 😉. And the Lord will still be with me wherever I am, home or at Church.
I am thankful for this weekend, I’ve managed much more than I thought I would. 😊.
Enjoy your Sunday wherever you are and let the Lord be a part of what you are doing. ✝️💒🙌🙏.
It is still hard for my brain to understand that everyone of you who are following my blog 1,found it! 2,gets inspired from what I share!
I am so Thankful for you all and that our Lord challenged me to expand!!
Be free to make a comment if it is something you really like or words from the Lord that hit you, here on the blog. It is always nice to hear how the reader thibks of a blog post. 😉
The first; I ordered a new smart-watch about a month ago, but was send to the wrong adress so after approxy 3,5 – 4 weeks later it came to me 🤩🤩. And I love how precisly it counts my steps 🤩🤩. And the part of it was, the same day as I recived the note from the mailoffice it was delivered, my old smart-watch/fitbit broke in the way it wasn’t possible to wear it anymore.
My new smart-watch.
My old fitbit, broken.
The second; I have finally threaden🧵🧵 my overlocker 🤩🤩 it just took me 2 months 🤪😆😆. But with help from a YouTube video I nailed it.
Here is some of the tests I did last night (Friday March 11.)
Wax cloth. First try.
Needle-up for a zipper.
Overlocked edges, fabric pieces (bits) from 14 par of Jeans and one strype of red cotton fabric.
I am now looking forward to use my overlocker the way I have used my sewing machine.
I still need a good sewing chair but I have patience, all thing will be good in the end. At least I have two working machines 🤩🤩.
A small break from headache and I have been creative 😊🧵📍📍📍📍📍✂️📍📍📍
My on going sewing project…
This skirt is made out of fourteen par of old jeans. #sustainability #upcycling I’ve got from a friend outside Oslo.
A sewing project that started in January 2021, had a resting break on eight months before new ideas needed to be tryed out.
I am hoping I am on the end now, March 2022. It all is a combination of a good body, a good day and energy 😉.
One of few things to add now is a zipper and a waist… one or two pockets in the front.
And sew this part…😆😆
And I’m done 🤩. I do know it will take some time, spmething I have lots of. In the mean time I’ll start on something else as always. If I don’t have more than few projects going on my brain works slower. I need few projects parallell with each other its just a fact of trying to just have one, which I didn’t finished until I started on nuber two 😆😆.
After three day’s indoors with a tired body I managed to get out 😊 to the ☀️. A short shopping trip. Sadly not much energy in my body. 😔. Still trying to recover from covid.
I’ll use the rest of the day to sewing. 😊 and enjoying the sunshine through my window.
How much trash are we holding on to in our Christian life? What is truth and what is trash? Watching and listening to Evelation Church while I’m home, this Sunday with fever. This preaching hit me!
You know what to do with the thruth you have been given, but we don’t want to hold to the teaching Jesus gave us when it’s hard to hear or when it makes us confront ourselves. He said to the Jews who believed in him ” You are so addicted to the lies you don’t want to hold on to the thruth.”
There’s some stuff God has put in you, and the lies you believe can become a lid on your life. They can become a limitation. How we need to teach ourselfs with a lie detection so we’ll even know it’s happening, becauce it’ll sound so true. Yet all the time, Jesus is saying, ” You will know the thruth, hold to the thruth, and the thruth will set you free.”
John 8:31; He said, ” If you hold on to my teaching, you really are my disciple, and then you will know the thruth, and the thruth will set you free. “
You need to hold it. You need to practice.
It’s kind of hard to hold on to the thruth when you holding on to trash?
How much trash do I have in my life I am holing on to that I didn’t think was trash. When it comes to how the Lord vs the devil speak to us, makes the different of what we keep on life in what we think is the truth. You know the deval has hold on to you long enough when you still holding on to the trash.
I had to listen to this preaching twice, to really get the point and if you need that too, watch Evelation Church, “You Are Not Trash”
We need Jesus to Teach us!
You need to be less needy. Truth. Thruth to power.
The Lord is calling you to freedom. And the devil has held you long enough in a lie. And asermon can’t set you free. Decisions do. To be a disciple.
Through sickness we get stronger day by day, that’s how we get out of bed and back to work. (And it can be all kinds of sickness, mine not so big/hard.) With me?!
I have just been home’n sick. It all started as a normal cold with sore throat and fever. But this cold was Covid-19 virus. 😔😔. I got the heavy headache on Friday, the only thing that I normally don’t get with a cold. I tested positive on Saturday the 19th.
Covid-19 rapid test.
So what did I get out of those day’s at home? Well I have been knitting, finished projects and watch to many not good movies.
Knitted a baby blancet to a friend.
February 22nd.
Thought I could go back on Monday but oh no that was the day of setback. Yet Wednesday I and today I have. 😊😊.
I am on my way back 😊.
Yesterday I went through five day’s in my bible for a year, the five day’s I didn’t have energy to anything less go between the bed and the couch.
I also started, no that’s not the right word. I picked up to listen to the pod with Evelation Church and pastor Steven Furtick. Both towards and back from work. Variation is something I need in life. Instead of any of the other non Christian pods.
It doesn’t matter what I do. Variation is needed. One of those variations can help me get stronger in my faith or in a hobby or spending time with friends, new or old. I do know, that with Him I get stronger each day in life with or without sickness.
My day’s are just flying away becomming weeks. 🤪 . Yet I hope you do get something when I post something new.
I need to clear my head (11pm, night to February 12th). Just had a chat with the Lord about what’s going on in my life and head. The best way.
I’ve been listening to the audio bible for 39 day’s now, proud of myself. And what have I’ve learn? Well mostly that it’s good for me as a Christian, that trust in the Lord make sence and my walk is getting thicker and wider with the Lord doing this.
Wherever things I need or don’t understand, I know the Lord is working it out for me in the end. Nothing is to big or to small for him.
He is my light, my path, my wisdom, the one I trust in life. No matter what I go through.
To clear my head with a chat helps me to not think about it. It’s like putting a box in the shelf after you filled it with whatever you neded to fill it with. And than leave it there until the time is here to take it down and unwrapp it. Cause during the time the box stands in the shelf the Lord is working with what’s inside. That you space from 😊.
The peace and calm feeling to step into Church after months. WOW! The atmosphere! Just to come, be, sing or listen to the worship and the preaching. 💜.
The bridge in one of the worship songs.
Give me Jesus, Give me Jesus, I want everything you are, I want everything you are.
Knowing you are in the right city and know that the Church you been a part of before. In my case I went here eleven y.a. Yet, I got the same feeling now and my fi4st time in Nowenber when I got into the Church building. 💜.
Today I am thankful that my back is okay. 😊🙏. Months since last time.
Yeshua
(From the preaching) To feel that you are Home also means you know that here are your Christian family, the Lord- ABBA – Father or Dad is here.
Give Him the space, to get the experence to get to know Him. This is also a big oppurtunity to ask him in to your daily life, your workplace or studdylife. Let Him in, into your life through music or podcast’s. Let Him Abba get more space in your life.
No matter how your biological Dad has been the Lord loves you no matter.
The challenge is to come with an open mind and open heart to the Lord our Abba Father.
You might have wound from your childhood, as a teenager, a young aduldt or whereever you were hurt to be able to see how Abba Father are standing there and just loves you.
Maybe we just need to remind our self how much we are loved. That he see’s us and how He can use ypur gifts?
Question; How will you describe God as your Father?
Powerful worship text.

10.30pm evening to the 4th of February…. I should probably not type with this head right now, cause I am so tired. And I will go to bed in a bit.
I just have to clear my head a bit.
The last two weeks been full of things I have been thinking of or trying to do next when it comes to education and work after this year. Trying to get to know a guy over several months, working and being creative when life is better than just good.
Messing up some of it, yet the Lord have given me more peace and love than any human could do.
To admit when you mess it up is a strength & a positiv trait.
It feels like what I wrote and shared in the blog the other day, the words I needed while I was waiting on the bus in the morning. About His love for me even in my struggles.
To have enough faith and understand the mess I got myself into in the same time trying to understand the love from the Lord.
Yet I know He will help me through every step in my life.
Today’s devotional as most other day’s I start as I walk out of my house. Today wasn’t much different than yesterday until I had to stop and wait for the local bus to come.
There I was waiting and the words I needed was read. The words of Gods love no matter what is going on in my life. All my struggles He is a part of them too.
What is impossible in human terms is possible with God.
All my daily worries is also His.
It might be a relationship that seems to have broken down irretrievably, or an issue to do with health, finances or something else where change seems impossible. With God there is always hope, no matter how bad things look. Nothing is impossible with God. (The text is from Matthew 19:16-30.)
This text helped me through the first part of today! It gave me peace over an situation in my life I made bigger than needed. I got hope back. Just knowing the Lord is with me in this mess I made, and He will help me through with His Love to me.
Just some cool #streetart from Stavanger, my city. 😉
I needed some air into my brain today after a long day indoors and bad air in the office. A walk in the light rain 😊 and grey sky. I needed to buy some office stuff and desided to walk to the store. A lovely walk! Sadly my shoes aren’t good anymore😭 so back home the couch will be my place for a while!
If we only speak to God and never take time to listen, we make the same mistake.We do all the talking and we don’t actually listen to him. But our relationship with God is meant to be a two-way conversation.
In Proverbs 3:1-10 it says… ‘ My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.’
To write down thoughts that come into my mind that may come from the Spirit of God. In a media-saturated age we have many voices that come to us on TV, radio, the Internet, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, email and text message. We have the voices of family, friends and colleagues. And sometimes we have the voice of Satan tempting us to disbelieve God’s word and to doubt that God has our best interests at heart.
How do you hear the voice of God in the midst of the noise and distractions of life?
I hear my Lord in prayers and worship with other Christian people. That’s also how He share what he wants the other person. To help he/she to understand what the Lord is trying to say wants for that person. Most the times I feel the Lord use me and my gift to reach this other person when he/she has a hard time to understand it is from the Lord, what the he/she has asked for. But can’t hear the Lord for all the noices in the head or in the background in her/his life. Very related to hear the lords voice.
Sometimes the Lord talk to me through pictures, other times through a bible vers. Most comman I hear the Lord talk to me with simple Positive and EncourgingWords to reach the other person to recive.
We all need to learn our way how the Lord is talking to each of us.
If I don’t have the oppurtunity to be in worship or praying with other Christian people, I go for a walk to clear my brain tohear better. I rather have a noicy sea or a forest around me to hear the Lords voice than a city. But lately I have also heard his voice through music, pod cast’s. Very few times through a dream. And recived a message from Him.
He’ll use the same ways we use! We just need to be open for it.
We can become so caught up in everyday that it easier to continue in old patterns rather than change.
I have been here. I am proud of myself that step by step I am changing my reading habbits.
Your potentional is not about being driven by amition or success , it is about recognising who you are in God.
As you seek him & live your life according to his purpose , you will bear much fruit. The more you begin to fulfill your God-given potential, the more he entrusts to you. You have the potential to live a life of even greater blessing than those you read about in the Old Testament. Jesus says, ‘Blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
How to Navigate Life;
Wisdom has been defined as ‘*the art of steering’*. As you go through life, you will need to navigate many tight situations that require great wisdom in order to avoid damaging yourself or others. And how do we do that?
Unfaithfulness is an example of a wrong turn. Wisdom will ‘keep you from making wrong turns, or following the bad directions. (Proverbs 2:12-22). Where are all those than? Well in your life. You probably know them all or you know about them but don’t recognize them.
A binding agreement that should not be broken, like marriage. Are you married then you know and understand thus better then me who isn’t, yet I hope I’ll get there one day. But I do understand the meaning of what the Bible want me to understand.
Choose the good path
Difficult times in your life can take you off course in the wrong direction. But if you stay on the right course it will lead to greater compassion and wisdom. (Matthew 14:1-21).
To know where your focus are. Knowing your direction in life, is it studdies or work or get to know the Lord more? How do we know when it’s starting to go a bit to the left or right? And which direction is right? If you don’t ask the Lord for direction how will you know you are going in the right direction?So howwill you then know how to get greater compassion and wisdom?
Fear of rejection can also lead us into trouble. Make sure you don’t allow what others think of you to matter more than what is right.
As an aduldt it might be easier but yet you can be rejected. It can be from someone you like, a job you want or maybe a trip you would like to go on. I work with youth, an age where many are unsecure on them selfs. It’s hormons and changes most all the time. And during this age it’s fast to get rejected just becauce ‘ you are not like everyone else ‘ which basicly no one is becauce of the hormons. But ‘ no one ‘ think about that. And how to guide the youth to feel they don’t get rejected or feel fear is hard. I can only talk about myself when I was a teenager. I hated the school mainly becauce my schoolmates were awfull to me. I was bullied. I had a lot of fear against my schoolmates. And the only one that helped me to not take it all in was my middle big brother.
Later as an aduldt I’ve recived support, wisdom, no fear, love and blessing into my life from the Lord. And learned how to be able to not fear most things.
Allow God to interrupt your plans. This is so important. If you don’t let Him interrupt you will easier both get more lost in your own planing but also get the feeling of some kind of lacking or that He is further away from you and your Faith. I know thatfeeling.
Navigate through the challenges of life. Have you ever been rejected, treated unjustly, let down by a friend or found yourself in some other frustrating situation?
This is the daily struggle for most of us. Who hasn’t felt lost? Who hasn’t had challenges in the daily life? Or treated unjustly? Been let down by a friend? We all have been there!
So, how can we Navigate in life without being challenged every day? Well I would say through the Bible we get many answers. Reador listen, like I do, to the script we get guidense to navigate! We get patience to all the challenges we go through. And tons of love to make it. <3.
A prophetic greeting I recived this evening in my house church, to you who need it.
A picture from the Lord;
A bathing jetty. Strong wind around you. Stormy sea. Steady ground. The mountains in the background. The rays of the sun which are the light of Jesus. The clouds that create shadow in your life. The faith you have in me your Father. The cross that is your security and your reason for your faith. The flowers that give you the positive energy for the day. The stones around the pier that can provide support for tired legs. The waves around the pier that calm down when it clears up. The benches that are worn, so that we can recognize ourselves in how life can be.
A picture, where the words trying to give you a picture from the Lord about how you can feel like life is.
A picture ment like support and guidness, wisdom and love.
Inspiration and the Love from God. How good foundation you have in Him, the Cross and your Faith.
The rain and the storm can clean your thoughts, wondering and how you after can stand fri and feel like you have a new Body, Soul and Head.
In today’s devtional Lord, give me successtoday. The text is about when the Lord talks about success not in the way of popularity as many today think is the same thing.
No, in the old testament, it talks about success as something good. And the word success occurs at least five times in the old testament. Every time as something positive.
Success is a blessing from the Lord.
Psalm 8, verses 1-9; Praise God for the success of his creation. In our galaxy there are probably over a hundred-billion stars like our sun. Our galaxy is one of a hundred-billion galaxies. When we consider the vastness of the universe it is easy to feel small and insignificant. “Davis starts and ends this psalm by worshipping God for the success of his creation. As he stares into the night sky, David says, I look up at your marco-skies, dark and enormous, your handmade sky-jewellary. Moon and stars mounted in their setting. Then I look at my micro-self and wonder, Why do you bother with us? Why take a second look our way? David marvels at the fact that a human begins are the pinnacle of God’s creation – a masterpiece – made in his image. …”
Reading and listen to this text, gave me a deeper knowledge of those words. I started to listen to this devotional on my way out of my house on Saturday January 15th, but I didn’t end it. I got distracted but started it again today, Sunday 16th. And While I listen on the audio on my phone (cellphone) I am reading/following through the text on my laptop and can reflect. What does it say? What is the point on the text?
Jesus redefines success. If you want to know what true success looks like, study the model of Jesus – his vision, life and teaching. It is the kind of success that is not universally recognised as such.
In the word and action Jesus ushered in the kingdom of God, bringing the reality of God’s rule and presence into the lives of those around him. – this is what Jesus-style-success looks like.
*To achieve Jesus-stule success you, like the twelve disciples, need to model your life on Jesus and share his vision. 1, The need is urgent.2, The motive is love. 3, The trigger is prayer. 4, The potential is vast. Pray for success in guidance. Abraham’s servant wasn’t embarrassed to pray for success. No, He prayed a prayer that we can all emulate; ‘ Give me success today.’ *
We shouldn’t be embarrassed to pray for success in our lifes! If, as we can read in the old testamnet, God has given us success. We should ask for it. Success is a blessing from God. Why should we then be embarrassed? We should not think like the World thinks about the word but Thank God for what he ment it to be!
You know, I’ve learned so far those few (15) day listening to the script that if I don’t implement the Word into my life as I should I feel some kind of emptiness, but not like a hole no more like I have been missing out of something really good for a long time. It has occurred to me that I can do a lot of things and feel happiness. And I know “I’ve sholud have read the Bible as my Christian intake of food” but haven’t until this year… And now I start to see what friends has been trying to tell me. I know I know, “you want to say I told you so” and that is okay. At least I understand! I wont feel the presence from the Lord in the same way if I don’t read or listen to the script. I have got an eye-opener for this 🙂 . It took maybe a bit longer time then needed, but hey! I got it.
Maybe I needed this time in my life to understand God’s way and part in my life as an Christian. I don’t know. But here I am and I understand things 🙂 . And for me this bible app and blog kind of goes hand-in-hand. It might be an other part of how Jesus wants me to share my struggles as a Christian some day’s, to share with others that are struggling as Christians how to get through a day, a week a mounth or ever a year. I would be surprised if I am the only one that have those struggles in my life! The Lord has been challenge me with this blog for the last 4-5 years. And I believe this is an other part of sharing my life, struggles, happiness with you all. His way of using me the way He gave me the gift of writing. ❤
…or He just wants to use me showing you that everyone has there own time to figure stuff out. ^^haha^^. Anyway. Here I am sharing my thoughts with you about a text I never read before or got inputs I never heard before. It’s like all the preaching I have heard isn’t even close to this. And I am happy I did listen even to this devonational!
I do hope you got something out of both my thougts and from the text in the devotional. ❤
Maybe you remember the post where I told you about my newest machine, the overlocker.
Well, today started with headache but, I managed to get out. And managed to go to one of my favorite stores. A fabric and equipment store (which just have change theire name too) Selfmade (something I hadn’t reflect on until I got into the store)😆😆
Happines comes in different ways.
Mine is sewing. Buy the things I need to sew. It’s like a candy store of happines.
My happines.
So I bought this. My Christmas gift from ❤Mom❤. So I can start use my overlocker 🤩.
And pattern so I finally can learn to sew after pattern. 😄😆.
To finish up some sewing projects that has been laying around in pails and waiting. And start new projects 🤩😆.
I still need one important thing– a good chair… But I am getting closer 🤩🤩🤩.
January 10th, Devotional was about Directions for life. Knowing what’s the importance of getting good directions. To follow God’s directions for life, and you will enjoy his blessing. The words that got stuck in my brain from this devotional was: wisdom, love and talk the truth.
January 11th, Devotional was about Your Double Blessing. William Shakespeare captured something of the wonder of mercy in Portia’s speech in *The Merchant of Venice*. The quality of mercy is not strain’d. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It is *twice blest*. It blessedd him that gives and him that takes. You and I are blessed when we recieve mercy and you are blessed when you are merciful to others. The words that got stuck with me was: Are there times in your life, when you are really struggling and nothing seems to be right?
January 13th, Devotional was about Trust God to Put Things Right. Crosswords are somethings easy and sometimes we get stuck on one clue we can’t give up. Yet we move on to the next clue. And every time we find an answer it helpt us in resolving some of the other clues. In the end we are sometimes able to solve most of the puzzle. In one way, reading some difficult parts of the Bible is like trying to solve a crossword puzzle. Rather than getting bogged down in a tricky section, you can use the passages you do understand to help you resolve some of the more difficult ones. The best part is that *God will put things right*.
My thoughts from today (13ths) is this fits me and how I have tryed to read the Bible not understanding what I have been reading. And I’ve got in to a morning habit, a good one. While I walk to the (public) bus, sitting on the bus towards work I listen to the Devotional. So far so good. I can’t say I remember everything or a lot but some words get stucked. And if “today’s devotional” is over before I reached work I listen to worship to be filled up with God and knowing I am his child where he has put me – my job.
Today january 13th, I felt for listen to my favorite encouring preacher Chad Veach of Zoe Church on Spotify (I think you can find him and his Church on youtube too). He was preaching about *Highs and lows* in life with one of the questions “Do you want a vision, a prophetic vision for 2022?”. How to resch out to the Lord and ask for my prophetic vision for 2022. https://hillsong.com/contributor/chad-veach/
My challenge as a Christian right now is to remember to listen to the audio bible studdy during the weekends, when time flies away on a totally other way and I forget to listen. While I was listening to today’s devotional, I did some checking online, and realized I did not hear the devotional, so I listen one more time. And got it. Maybe it also was so that I didn’t hear it the first time because my brain wasn’t enough awake.
Anyhow, I am proud of myself to remember and to listen to it and knowing what it was about. Most things I listen to and just listening without listening propper I don’t remember afterwards what it actually was about. It’s a bit like working in the school, you see the students “listening” without getting the context.
I can’t say I have got in to a good routine yet, cause I’ve only done this now since January 5th. 4 day’s isn’t a habit. But it gives me hope! Normally I manage things like this for maximum a week. Which offcourse this is my goal to past more than a week!! My goal is to do this for the coming 4-6 weeks!
My challenge as a woman right now is…to get past my latest pain. Which started yesterday January 7th. from/after a new birth controll apointment. To have constant pain that I didn’t know I could get, is really here now. The whole point was to get less pain, better control of things you girls/women understands. Yet, here I am with a constant pain. It’s not as bad as it was at the doctor which was 10 of 10 on a scale, no now it’s maybe 1,5-2. Livable.
Which also makes it painful to move around, walk and carrie things like food from the grocery shop… Which I need to accomplish today (you know foodstores aren’t open on Sunday’s here).
To be able to sleep during the nigth, not wake up in pain..Yesterday or actually this morning I went a bed around 03.30am, woke up late even if I didn’t sleep more then six and a half hour.
My challenge in life is manage with “all the things” I haved plan for this Spring and Summer. To actually manage it, have the time for it and not just survive.
Enjoy life and not stress at all. Have late breakfast in the weekends, sew, knit, maybe even the futher offers me a boyfriend, that would be nice. And not turn my sleep all around again which is harder. Stay allert.
Helping out with Birthday gift cards to an other familymember, being good with administrion helps to fix stuff like this. To get credit from familymembers cause I do what they ask me to do it’s also quite nice.
To coop with work and sparetime, go for my walks I need, stay healthy and don’t get corona (!), have a good Christian life. Church.
Stay in contact with friends in Oslo area while I’m here. Enjoy the time here and now and not think so much of what will come yet just knowing what is coming. Just have some controll. Try to be more spontanies about things. Get me “out there” discover places in this county.
An other Challenge is to get back to the gym which I miss and need. My hope was to do it this weekend, but that will not happend as long as I have this annoing pain. 😦
Now it’s time for dinner or maybe it actually is late lunch?!? I had late breakfast should I then skip lunch just because of what time it is? Whatever, i need to cook something and I want to go for a small walk. I’ll guess I’ll see what and when I do things today…
On my way to the bus this morning I thought I should try something else than just one of the podcasts I normally listen to on the way to work. So I found one of those app’s on my Bible app. This one, Bible in One Year 2022 with Nicky Gumbel – Classic.
To read the Bible in one year have never worked for me, but I think that if I listen to one Devotional with bible verse each Day. I have a bigger chance to actually manage this.
So here I am, have listen to Day One.
This isn’t one of those “New Year Revolutions” oh no! I will try it and I’ll hope I don’t drop out. I didn’t fall a sleep while I was listening. That’s a good start! Some of it was Josef’s family-tree (Which I never before manage to understand but did better with this time!)
I have just ordered my first overlocker. Something I have been wanted since 2007-2008 and which will help me more with the sewing. =) =) =) =) Happiness!!! So mmany new options in the future. Thanks to my mom in heaven ❤ and the Christmas gift via dad, this was possible. ❤
Singer 14SH654 Overlocker
Can’t wait to get it delivered, but before that I will be needed to go and buy some thread and some other sewing equipment that I miss out having at home for my next sewing projects. =)
This is a really good start on a new year for me!!
In the meanstime I’ll start working again tomorrow January 3rd and I’ll be back into my normally routines, yay. I’ll also see if I can find a good office chair for my back so I actually can start sew when my overlocker arrives.
Just the thought of be able to finish up some long on going sewingprojects, yes! Oh, I am so glad, happy and joyful for this.
Keep pooring, when you feel empty. Because the blessings will come. Don’t be afraid of the empty spaces, because empty is where God does his best work.
Revelation 3:8; I know your deeds. See I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strenght, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
This is my inspiration when I feel empty, to watch Elevation Church on youtube.
And this post is glimps from what Elevation Church 2021.
2 Corintians 2:11; in order that satan might not outwit us.For we are not unaware of his schemes.
It’s not about the strenght it’s about the stradegy.
John 16:33; “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
It’s not about the trouble infront of you! It’s not about the trouble in your lift. It’s not about who is stronger, it’s about who is smarter.
John 4:4; You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. (Eveletion Church, Better Than Ever:2021 Year In Review.)
So here I am, in the couch, on New Years eve. The radio is on, the cat is asleep and I enjoying a half glass with white wine. Have been updating myself on whats new on my county’s webpage for my area, went for a walk to the nearest pharmacy to be ready to test myself at home for Covid-19 whenever needed and I also went by the nearest grocery store. Bought what I need for the coming next day’s (here we do not have open grocery stores during the Holiday’s days). So I am as prepared as I can.
The stars are shining in the windows, the dark has come and bangs from fireworks have I heard since last night…
I am still editing my blog…sorting all my posts into “new” categories and I actually enjoing it believe it or not. Listening to two kids running around on the floor upstairs (my land lord and land ladies aparment). One of the kids are 2,5 years old the other I have no clue.
Defrosting what’s gonna be my dinner today, nothing fancy.
Been texting friends “Happy New Year” so I don’t need to remember that ^^haha^^ for later today. Gonna enjoy “the quiet” until later when the fireworks starts when I might need to calm down my cat.
When I woke up this morning, I read a post from one of you who are following me, read about if it is any point in giving New Year’s reolutions for 2022. When we all know the first part probobly will most likely look a bit like last year with corona and infections… Where most of us most likely need to keep one meter distance to each other… and stay home from work or have homeoffice. But then I thought, why not?! Wouldn’t it been interesting to see/ read about new varieties of New Year’s resolutions and if we have all learned something about what we might be wise to try to promise or “in 2022 will I try to…” ?
Those pictures are a small part of my 2021, from Eastern Norway, Høvik to Western Norway, Rogaland county. The ones I like the most. And maybe they tell you a story or maye it’s just some pictures with no meaning. For me, those pictures stands for freedom and time with the Lord. What He have created for us to enjoy, for us to explore, share and love.
Whatever you are planing for 2022, I know the Lord will walk with us who believe in Him. And he has a plan for us all, we just need to ask Him and let him guide us on His path, not the one we think is the right one.
It’s been some interesting day’s this last week. My entire last salary went to pay the rent and bills, so I saw no other way than to ask some of my Christians friends if anyone had the oppotunity and peace from the Lord to bless my finances. And I was blessed with much more than I had in my mind but the Lord knew how much I needed. Because I thought if someone wanted to bless me it was to be able to have food on my table or in my fridge, but the Lord knew the other things I needded and hadn’t been able to fill up in months. Because of this blessing I was able to order a new robot vacuum cleaner before the Christmas weekend. ❤ I haven’t had a vacuum cleaner since February this year, which isn’t so smart to live without when you have a pet! It gets so dusty!!! One other of those things I ordered was vitamines from the States. That I today (December 28th) will go and pick up. 🙂
With the blessed money I could alsi buy a cube light holder, on sale. Somthing I have been wanted the last four or five years.
cube light holder.
December 24th to lunch-time yesterday the 27th, have I already told you about so I skip that. So I can continue with the rest of the day yesterday (27th).
Because I locked my smartphone I got annoied on myself and cause of that I kept stay up past midnight every night after the twenty-fourth… Which led to sleep-in, coffee between nine and ten am. My Land Lady was nice enough to borrow her smartphone to call this company I have a mobile subscription with, to get into my smartphone. ❤ Logged into my phone did I wrote down all my passwords in a clever place asap. Made dinner, cleaned out some drawers and I logged into the blog and some other places online.
Around nine pm was it movietime but, during the movie I suddenly wanted to look, serch and see if I could find jeans online and order which I did after the movie. 🙂 This is also from the blessed money before Christmas.
Yes, and when I was cleaning out the drawers I found a story I started to write when I was maybe eleven or twelve. So funny to read! So I thought I should continue this story. So I sat and wrote at least three pages yesterday. 🙂 🙂 This is something I could do so much more often and it probobly fits best when I have one of those holidays. If it’s Christmas or Summer holiday or any of the school breaks. Which I will try to do on the side of bloging.
The plan for today, yesterday, was to catch a bus and go shopping for important and long-awaited machine such as a kitchen machine and a overlocker, but I’m still in the couch cause my back wasn’t good enough for a trip. 😦 But hey, it’s still time for me to do the shopping tomorrow or the day after that. And the only reason I will be able to buy those expensive and heavy machines that I have been wanted for a long time! Is thanks to a surprise via dad and – Mom who is in heaven now.
So if I will not go shopping today, I can check online for the machines and I will probobly also check for other creative things I have been needed for some months, like needles and thread for sewing.
An other big Blessing is this blog!
Just the fact that I have moved from a free blog to paying now hasn’t been an option until yesterday. I think I can say my Mother would have like it. She was such a creative person, more practical creative but she did write sometimes too.
I feel so blessed. And I am thankful for what the Lord have put on my heart, given me this gift to blog and share with all of you all around the world. This is also a creative gift! Not for everyone yet many people try and some fail. I hope I’ll not fail over time.
My disc is full here on wordpress 😦 which only means I need to upgrade…which I will asap other stuff in life get on track… In the meanwhile I’ll started on this post december 26th. I have to say it’s been an interesting weekend! Smartphone-less reminds me of the time before the smartphones came into our lifes, and what we did than to “kill the time” or bee social. Which is a good reminder!
If I only had a jigsaw puzzle or a good back for wlaks in the good weather…yesterday I didn’t.
But now, december 27th 12.30pm I came back to the world after a phonecall. So Thankful to my Land Lady! That I could borrow her phone and make the call!!
I have also upgraded my blog just now. Looking forward to explore!
I have to say I had a blessed day yesterday. Celebrating Christmas Eve with a family from Church. Felt like I was a part of them. 🙂 A big Christmas tree with lots of gifts both under and around. So cozy. I haven not had that feeling for at least 1 decage.
Isn’t that how it is when you are singel and, as for me haven’t had oppurtunity to visit my family for years, don’t have anyone closeby to celebrate with… Well I had a blast yesterday!
Back at home after 10.30pm, my cat-boy was happy to have me back. ^^haha^^. He does not like when I am out in the evenig. But I think it’s good practice for him. So he learn and I can get friends, maybe in the future meet a guy, have fun after work etc. And back home I wanted to update myself, friands and family by posting pictures (because that’s what I do normally), but than my smartphone was slow…and I thought I should just update the phone. Stupid me! Now it’s locked. 😦 I need a special code to get into it or get into my email account, which I also forgot the password to.:-( 😦 😦 So here I am. writing about my own tradegy caused by myself. On the other hand, it might bee good to not have a smartphone. I mean, I use it so often that it can be good to be without it for some day’s maybe most important to be without it during Christmas.
On Monday, I can call the company I have a subscription with and get the code I need. So until Monday I’ll be smartphone-free. (Gaaaaa).
I do have enough practical and creative things to do so it will not be a bigger issue. It’s just annoying… And I have tryed to find papers in some of the boxes that are still unpacked… I gave up.
Today’s first thing after coffee was a short walk with my cat-boy Silver. Out in the cold, where he met an other cat and a neighbour dog. What a start for him. First time for everything! After 4pm today, I’ll spend time with and other family from my house church, and I think that’s perfect. So I wont think so much about what have happend. I will hopefully be able to appreciate the time with new friends.
