I thought I would recognize a hacking link but I didn’t ππ someone has tryed to hack me ππ . And the sad part was I wasn’t thinking anyone managed to actually did until I recived an textmessage about how they do it. ππ.
It’s all fixed now. I do pray for protection from the Lord everytime I use my internet bank but yet. I was probably hacked ππ.
I can only pray they haven’t stolen anything and used it forward.

Psalm 4 vers 8 (NIV)
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
I went to my house church yesterday (9th of December) and the topic of the theme was ‘ how do you prepare your heart & life for Christmas and Jesus?’
One of the leader read a text about a family here in Norway and how they got in contact with an other family in Canada. How They prepared for this family to visit them. How they lesernes about their culture, country etc. How the cleaned theire home, garden and how this effects their thinking of what they prepared for Christmas and Jesus.
And than asked us, we who were gathered, what we do? Are we just focusing on the outside, the lighting on the house or in the garden? Are we just focusing on the gifts or are we taking it in into our relationship with whom who saved us?
As a singel lady without family or kids I don’t have the same type of traditions as when I grow up. Some of them I do miss other of them I feel are hard to do.
But, this year I am trying something new for me. I hanged the Christmas curtains up to the first of Advent. During the next week I got my Christmas tree up and few day’s later the ornaments. I haven’t found the lights yet…
I am working on the Christmas gifts, for my family, that I thought I could send to my brother here in Norway but now I don’t know if the rest of the family will be able to travel over the border…
I need to buy some red candle lights. I am playing Christmas music every day this December and trying to invite the Lord after work at home and if I forget I at least pray for the next day and say thanks for the day I’ve had before I fall a sleep.
I have to say I haven’t been focusing as much as probably should to Him who saved me… I think I lost it on the way. The way of being a singel, the way when life means I haven’t been able to visit my family over Chistmast for some years now. π. Or just the fact that we lost mother into demensia over ten years ago… The one in my family who was excited to decorate for this season. β€.
I would love to have a family that I could call mine, it doesn’t mean the kids are mine. But to have a boyfriend, a hubby someone to share life with, Christmas and everything else with! I know it will come. But yet, that’s my Christmas wish and have been for the last ten or more years…
Is it easier when you have someone to share Christmas with?
What are you doing?
How do you prepare?
I am blessed to be able to celebrate Chistmast Eve and Christmas Day with some families from my house church β€πβ€π β€ something I am looking forward to! And with that I will try harder to invite the Lord into my home and whatever I do before Christmas.
Philippians 5 vers 6 (NIV)

a harvest of righteousness.

My hope yesterday was to be able to go to Church to the eleven service, did not happend. I woke up with a sore back π. Next to a locked back. So I’ll stay in the couch for some hours. It is the only thing that helps. π€ͺπ.
The good thing is, I can blog, relax and watch some World cup Skii π and do some other more important things.
I have during the last ten years, learn to enjoy the day’s even the less good day’s when it comes to how much I can or can’t do with my body. And I am thankful for what I can do.
The lord have given me that peace.
So, don’t stress with things just becauce someone else think you should. Enjoy life becauce the Lord has a plan for this day in your life!

I just read some verses that some friends are sharing as an advent calender, which is comman here in Scandinavia. And thought I’ll repeet the one I made in 2018 or 2019.
So, I will take one note kind of random and make sure it’s not the same date as last time so it will not be the same. π
Here we go. π
December 1st; Proverbs 2, vers 8-9; He guards the paths of justice And pereserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path.
It’s been some time since last, sorry. It’s have happend a lot! I don’t even know where to begin…
Sadly I don’t even know when I posted here last time… anyway. I have put up my Christmas curtains to get the feeling of Christmas. And after months of not been able to sew I finally borrowed a good quality cushion from work to sew this last Friday. π.
I will hopefully start the prenium version here on wp after New Year so I can publish pictures again. π. And share my life better.
In the mean time you just have to coope with this.
I started a housechurch in October and the Lord is using my gift to those people.
And after a long Autumn with back issues did I finally managed to go to the 6pm service yesterday (November 28th). ππ.
Next step is to figure out if this Church is my new home and if what the Lord has prepared me for the last 6-8years, will be in this Church.
I am excited to see what the Lord has for me here! I am looking forward to see and have experence with the Lord here!
I love this city. Love to be back! And I know I am in the right place when it comes to work. ππ.
Stay updated.
The Lord will use you when you ask for it!
Take care, love people you have around you, no matter nationality!
Spread Love it’s December and we all need to feel loved! β€
Hey you wherever you are around the World! I don’t know how you feel or think, but I just don’t understand. It was the same last year π€ͺ.
I start working August the 16th and in a blunck it’s October!?!
Where I live it’s time for the Autumn break next week (the 11th to 17th of October) which is the middle of this month!! The time is really flying away!! π€ͺπ€ͺπ€ͺπ€ͺ
So much and so less har happend since I started to work.
I have started to get in to my work tasks. Last week were I a substitute teacher in Arts & crafts in the 9th grade already. What a Boost that was!! The same day I was a substitute teacher in the elective subject Design and redesign for the 8th graders. π€©π€©π€©.
The weeks flies. π€ͺ. Like last week we had βοΈπ€ with a π‘temperature on up to +20Β°C !! in the end of September!! The seasons has really changed. This week has been grey and rainy with a temperature on +11Β° to +18Β°C.
My challenge with the weather change is that I get each in the body & head ππ. It’s like I am a walking weather machine π€ͺ. I am trying to coope with it. The sadest part is that with headache I miss out on Church ππ cause I just don’t stand the music with headache.
So my longing to actually go to Church has still not happend becauce of the weather is changing from week to week. I do hope it’s gets a bit more stable weather in October and if not,that the changes goes faster.
Anyway.
Life is good here! Love living here!
I would not change it for money! Or for an other country.
My goal for this month (October) is, Blog more. Get to the gym. Get to Church & housechurch. Get out in the nature more. Meet up with old friends.
Get more practical things like a wacuum cleaner & more function furnitures.
See if we can get a new cat in the house.
And in the middle of all those challenges I just have to say how much I love this season!! Autumn is the best! Gives me so much happiness from all the colours and the rain is lovely.
I really believe the Lord put me here for Γ₯ reason. He is working in me and I just have to wait’n see what more in his plans π.
Enjoy life it’s worth it!
I had been working for 4 day’s when I had the opportunity to take the 2nd doze of the vaccine. It went well. No side effects in the first 21 hours. …But it came. π. It came at work on Friday the 20th of August. 2 hours before I was done. π. I got fever. And it didn’t past in 24-30 hours as after the first doze. Oh no, I had it until yesterday, Monday, evening.
So when I woke up this morning (Tuesday 24th) without fever I could only pray & hope that it wouldn’t come back during the day. Which it hasn’t. π. So I booked an quick corona test just to make sure I didn’t have any covid virus in my body.
And GOD is good, no signs of covid. βοΈ. This was my fourth test in a year and yet no sign of covid. ππ πππ.
I am blessed and protected with vaccine and ready to be back at work tmrw. Do my task there, be a light for the youth, do what the Lord has prepared for me.
I read something interesting on facebook today, August 8th. An artical about ” just becauce I am born in a womans body, it doesn’t mean I want kids or become a mother “. Which is so true. Not every woman wants kids. The suciety needs to change theire minds. I mean it is 2021 not 1950!
“If I want or not want to be pregnet is my choice not yours. “
I am like that and have been for years. As a 12 y.o. girl I remember saying ” If I can be pregnet, also meaning having a hubby, I want many kids like 5 or 6, But if I married older than most other I don’t want my own & not being pregnet.”
“why should society decide if you SHOULD have children just because you are a woman?”
When I was around 19, a bit older, I knew I didn’t want my own kids, didn’t want to be pregnet. And after my knee surgery & blood cloth I knew that it would be stupid of me to become pregnet.
No, or maybe I shall say Yes I am one of us woman that never been longing for kids.
The only thing I always been longing for is a hubby. A friend to share my life with. If my future hubby has kids from an other relationship, well that’s just a bonus. I love kids and teenagers. Don’t get me wrong.
How is it for you as a Christian Woman? If you have kids you can’t really answer this but maybe you have a girl friend who feel the pressure from the society? Maybe you live in a country where you don’t really have a choice? Or maybe you never thought about it. Maybe you are a woman that been longing for it but can’t cause nature is different.
Some women can not have children because the eggs are bad, or because, you woman, have other health issues. What do I know. Maybe the only thing you want in life is to be able to carry a child for 9 months but can’t for your reasons. Anyhow. It shouldn’t be a must from the suciety that just becauce I am / you are a woman, we want kids.
“Friends & family should just shut-up, not ask! “
The worst thing is all the questions from friends & family!! “When are you gonna get kids ?” , ” We want cousins.”, ” Have you start to think about kids?”.
Why? Why is this a normal question to ask any woman? When did it start to be your business to know if the woman want kids?
I got so tired of those questions I had to talk to my family one by one. ” I am not longing for my own children. No, I do not want to get pregnant.” And it helped, they stop.
My wish with this post is for you to get your eyes open and respect us women who don’t want our own kids, not want to become a mother by nature or whatever reason we have!!
When you male or female start to respect us you are a part of the change the suciety needs in this topic. Thank you!
My home…is chaotic. Full of boxes that are packed. A good thing. And in the middle of all boxes I can see my cat us confused of what’s going on.
He does not like changes, he accept it quite fast thought. But the moving change… well it’s hard to say cause he sleeps most the time. ππ.
Today is it the 5th of August. In approxy 60 hours we are in our new home. Which means I have started to pack what we need for the day’s we are there before the boxes and furnitures comes… and my bed!
What do I need for 3,5 day’s? Food, clothing, toilet things, radio, charger…the list goes on and I just need to cross it out. And than, I need to clean out this aparment!
I thought about to let a cleaning company do it until I got the prices. And realising I don’t afford it. π.
But it’s okay. I’ll do it in my rythm. With okay music on the radio I am find. As long as I take my breaks cause my back. π. Drinking water & cooling my head with ice cold water. I am okay.
To relax I continue on my lastest project; my livingroom table. I wish I could show you all but I’ve used up my quote on picture on the free wordpress which only mean I soon have to start to pay a fee. Which is the nxt step for me to expand readers and to continue what the Lord has showen me to do.
So, in 48 hours I am in my new home. A city I have been longing to, to once again live in. Ten years I needed to wait on the Lord to say “it’s time “. I feel like some of the men in the bible who also had to wait on the right time before God could use them.
More in the nxt blog about that. π.
So, what have I done since last blog? Well except packing, this week was all about to once again be blessed by the Lord. Recive a miracle. Someone that could drive me and my cat. And than clean out my apartment here on the East side of Norway.
Today it’s Thursday the 5th of August, and I am getting closer to finish with the fridge. π. It’s soon 10pm and I am just gonna clean the ” fridge floor ” and grab the towels that are outdoor on the drying rack. And my goal for today is to be in bed 00/12am.
