It’s the 5th 😊 and today’s verse comes from Proverbs 2:8-9
To understand how our heavenly Father watching over us, how He helps us to be righteousness in our life. He helps us to find justice in all our paths.
God loves us so much.
He wants the best for us but we also need to understand how or when He is talking to is and corrects us. 💜

/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.
To help ourself is smart 👍But do not forget to help others 💞
God has given us different types of gifts to use in faith, to reach out, to share.
Try to not copy someone you know, try to do your thing all way out your way. 😊 Be creative. Think different. Think big. Believe and have Faith in how you reaching out to those who doesn’t believe or have heard of God.
My daily life is based on prayers. I pray on my way out to the bus, at work for my co-workers and students. I pray in the TV commercial for friends, I pray on the bus or train.
I read the daily vers from my bibleapp each morning before I get out of bed.
I pray for the Day and trusting on the word that I will recieve peace, love and patience for my students.
I believe my heavenly Father will fill me up when I am getting empthy.
I let the holy spirit in to guide me and fill me with the good things I need.
I am thankful for every Day that goes by, because I know it is not by my strength. I live because I trust my life in Him.

I have not celebrated Halloween in in years. I have not had a Job or friends who like it or who just go to an “adult party” with a Costume on that Day here in Oslo.
So, I who love Costumes, had this year my opportunity to dress up in a Costume. 😍😍😍
But to do that I needed to sew a under-skirt to have under my tulle skirt which is see-through… I had to take off my homemade paper buttons and bleach my light yellow blouse white. Re-sew the buttons back. All this in 3 days including to work and shopping the last things.
And find wool-stockings that did not have any wholes in them 🤣🤣 I had to find my Theater makeup and buy some more.
What a lovely task. 😍
This is how I looked like;
I was the snow-lady instead og snowman because I’m a girl 😉 I even painted my nose orange to look like a carrot. 😉
Happy Halloween 😉

Two weeks ago.
2 weeks ago we had our first snow ❄️ day here in Oslo. I was happy like a child but most of my colleagues was not. They started to complain…
Everything is delayed in Oslo when the first snow ❄️ comes. It is the same shit every year.
I was waiting om “my” bus 23 for more then nine minutes, which is the normal amount off minutes om my side og Oslo to wait. Not talk about the metro 😂😂😂 which was standing still because of the snow 🤣😜😠 and signal failure at the National Theater, 3 stops closer to the city from my metro stop at Smestad.
I arrived the metro station in time. It was even three minutes left to when it was going but! the metro train did not go!! 😠😠 It was just standing there. 🤪😳
The metro driver came out of the train and told med and everyone else else that planed to catch it,
It will come a bus-instead-of-metro. (Very common in Oslo.) Go and wait on the other side. We do not know how close the bus-instead-of-metro is but it will come.
I waited.
I think I waited on this “metro-bus” for about twenty minutes before I catch a regular bus.
In the meantime I txted my co-worker about the delay traffic and that I was on my way even if that would take while.
I finally got on the bus, jumped off where the shortest walk to the School was according to google maps. Walked up-hill to work. Came forty-five minutes later then a normal day, just because of the snow. 😐
And it was not just me who where late. Almost a third of my colleagues was also late.
And most of our students because they are coming with a taxi, they where even more stuck in the traffic, poor students. 😕😕
What a day!
But it does not end there. … You see, the day after is most times even worst. The day after is everything is delay and that Day you are stuck in traffic!

With the school and my internship we have had for the last two weeks been working on “to make homemade paper”. It’s fun! So I will show you what and how I did it at home.
This is what you need.
1/2 a tee spoon off caoline to make the re-circle paper thicker (you can also use potato flour).
The paper should be in water at least 24 hours. Mine has had a water bath 5 day’s.
You can’t use old paper with food stuff on!
Mix it in your mixer with as much water that fits. My mixer isn’t that big so I added water in the between of mixing it.
It should look like a paper-smoothie-mix. Make sure you have a good and big enough water-bath for the size of your frame.
Here is some oregano getting into the paper-smoothie-mix (above).
Here is cake color getting into the paper-smoothie-mix (above).
You can use herbs, sparkly, cake color, flowers, grass, leafs or what ever you have at home or outside. 😉
You can go for a walk and see what you can find in your neighborhood or in a forest. Sort and press it. In a news paper for few day’s.
This is what you need!
1. A frame with net and one without. 2. Cotton cloth. 3. Swamp. 4. Something to sture the paper-smoothie-mix.
******* ******* *******
Put the frame on a cotton cloth upsidedown. Use a swamp to get out as much water as possible before you lift the frame up.
Let the re-circled paper dry for 12 – 24 hours as horizontal as possible.
You can hang them vertical after 12 – 24 hours and after that when they are completely dry you can put them under something heavy and make them flatter.
Good luck!
This is a good Christmas gift to those who like to write. 😉

Where ever I am with whatever kind of pain. It can be a normal headache or migraine or that my stomachache hurts. I pray until I don’t have more pain. And pray this short pray.
I put trust in the words.
I pray like this;
Set, my body free from pain.
Set My, body free from pain.
Or you might know someone who needs a short pray to pray or just read this.
Have faith and trust God to do a miracle in your life. ❤
His name is Silver, he came to me for 2,5 years ago. He moved from Sweden and from my bonus sister to me over Easter-16.
He found himself quite good with me. ❤ He loves to sleep and doesn’t really care what’s happening around him.
He is easy going cat. 😊
And today – September 9th – is it his Birthday 🎈🎉🎈🎉🎈🎉 He is 4 y.o. 🎉🎈🎉🎈🎉🎈
He gives me a lot of love in his own way, I would not trade him for someone else.
He loves to do things with me.
He has a long life to live. 🐈 Silver 🐈

Crochet or knit hats and scarves. The church’s input in Norway – Kirkens bymisjon – is in the process of the annual “doing a good cause for your city”. It means that if you can knit or crochet you can help those who are poor to have a better Autumn and Winter.
I have since last Sunday crocheting Winter hat’s in different sizes from rest yarn that is just laying at home.
This is the one I started on last Sunday during the Church service;
(Adult size)
It is relaxing and it goes so fast to crochet them. 😉 Those two I made during the week after work – internship – in-front of the television.
(Kids size)
(Adult size)
This one I just started on… (big adult size);
Soon it’s time to buy some yarn othervice I will not be able to crochet at all…. But this is one of the creative things I will be doing this Autumn.
Join in to to do some good cause’s for your city! 😉
So it has been two weeks since I fainted or got “overheated”. I have not been using the computer more than less at all. I can not say I have not been on Facebook or Instagram because I have (on the smartphone) but I have not been online for more than maximum 8-10 minutes. 😊 Today is the first day “back in the computer world” which basic means I am looking for jobs or doing research off a school I would like to have work-experience at.
Last Wednesday I got rid of the stitches and everything is healing good. 😊
I am still sore in my face but I am less red on my cheek and even that is healing. Here (below) I had to cool-down my head 😂 over-heated indoor 😣 just using an ice-block works perfect. 😊
Indoor I do not need the patch but …
… outdoor and in the night I still need it 😟 to cover it against dust and sun.
I have slowly been able to sew again
and trying to finish up easy projects. Like the silk top (below) which I bougth the fabric in mid July and this weekend just finished. 😊😊 Here I have been sewing by hand, mostly because the sewing-machine did not like the fabric 😐 but it was very relaxing and like rehab to do . 😊
This and last week I am back in the course, not a problem at all. Last week was not long day’s which helped a lot! The weather went back to normal. Which is between +20° to +28°C. Fits me much better.
I am walking past so many beautiful flowers on my way to the course, which I just wanted to end this blog with.
I have to say, life is to short to complain on, so I am thinking positive and what I have been through I take with me as an other type of experience.

Back home. 😊😊😊
My re-fridge is full off food 😊 my friend Bobbi Jo bought me pizza which I ate when I came home yesterday (25th July) in-front of CSI on the television. 😊
I got a good night sleep in my own bed and pillow.
I am swollen in my left side face but if I wasn’t how would that be?
It looks like someone has beaten-me-up. 😂😂😂 I can’t really see much on my left eye, luckily I have two eyes. 😉
I have had my breakfast at home, coffee and 3 sandwiches. Put the cream on my face and blog’d. 😉
I will not do more than I managed be home and chill. Relax and just taking care of myself.
I’ll update you all on what’s happening nxt.

I went out with Sussi-P as normal around 1.30pm Tuesday July 24th. On our way back in I somehow past out outside in the sun.. I remember that I was standing and leaning to the stone-wall we have. The nxt thing I remember is that Sussi-P looked scared at me and the leash was on the betong ground, that it was bloody and it dripped blood from me..
Somehow did i get into my land ladies apartment and Sussi-P started to freak out. Eventionly did I get up on my feets and up the 3 floors to my place.
There I found my migrain medicin, took it and sat on my bed for aproxly 20 min with a wetwet towel over my face. And outside before we went to the nearest E R.
At the E R ( legevakta vest, Oslo) …
they examed me, asked me questions and I answered as much as I could. I wasn’t blurry or so. No very clear in my head. They stiched me up …
..with totally 9 stiches 3 places. The doc their did not want me to go home and sleep alone, so I only went home to re-pack my backpacker b4 we drove to the nearest hospital- Diakonhjemmet.
At the E R Diakonhjemmet I had started to get pain in my back head and the back-side of my throat… so I had to lay still until they found this support for my …. but before that I needed to pee so urgent.
Eventionly they let me pee. 😊
They gave me some fluid to see the brain in CT scan = painful!
One cannula in each arm…
After some hours at the E R and the CT-scan they moved me into room in the 1 south (1 Sør) corridore, room “169.2”.
There I slept approxy 6.5 hours before breakfast the 25th July.
and the MR-SCAN… around 11 am.
I was walking in the corridore and in my room.. after the Heart Rhythm Test.
I slept a bit more until lunch…
And around 4 pm a nurse came in to me letting me know that all tests were fine and I could go home if I felt I wanted.
😊😊😊😊😊
A friend off me came for a short visit – she had just before been to the grocery store and shopp food for me so I could go home. We chatted and decided that her and her husband would come and pick me up around 8 pm that evening.
This is for Sun and dust protection. 😉

Right now I enjoying both the temperature and a new area in Oslo where I haven’t been before.
Yesterday evening I went to Sollerud beach just by the fjord and 10min with the local bus from me.
Tomorrow I’m gonna explore an other place with a friend.
When it’s not to warm for me I love the summer!

My Summer Holiday started this last Friday after lunch. Finally. And Saturday was laundry day as normal with +29°C and wind. So all my cloths was hanging out in the wind and got dry fast. 🙃
Sunday (yesterday) I started to sort out some off my things in my wardrobe/storage room. Vacuum it cause my cat girl loves that room (which means it is a lot of cat hair there). I moved a furniture to get more space to walk on but also to be able to reach the other side off stuff to sort out.
This is my Summer project. To get rid of as much as possible (a.m.a.p.) of things I own and have inherited from someone back in time.. like a tableware with twelve mormal and small plates.. I have enough off that and I do not like what I inherited. But I want to know if they have any value.
(I had to take a break from this. So I went together with my land lady down to Oslo fjord for a swim. It was windy but +23°C in the water.) (Pic below.)
I got a tea pot and two cups on a birthday about ten years ago, which I never used.. which a friend of mine likes and will get. To give away.
I hate to have more things then I use and I have been like that since I was a kid (maybe because I have four older brothers). Every time I move I sort out. But I did not do that after we (me and two friends went to Sweden) two y.a. (to get my things who been standing in a storage for nine years.)
So now has that time come. To sort this (picture above) out. 😂😂😂
/Mia-Simone.Svenberg
It’s summer in the air and the wind is warm again.
It’s soon July and soon holiday.
Today has been okay with the weather and temperature even if I felt like I would melt away around lunchtime.. but we did have one week (last week) with 🌧🌫🌤 rain and lower temperature. Which for me was perfect!
I still have the motivation to apply for jobs. I will stop when I reasch my goal.
One and a half more week and then holiday!
Overandout.
Enjoy Life when you can!

We have had a month of super 🌡🌡🌡warm weather here in Oslo. Which I and my cats nearly 😣 managed.
By being out in the shadow on laying on the floor inside.
…Which also is the reason I have not written any blog…
When it’s warmer then 🌡+28° C I struggle! I am not made for it. So with a Hole month with heat 🌞🌞🌞🌞… OMG. It has been insain and intense! But
with melon it was easier to live.
I have not had the energy to write ✏⌨ and so much has happend!!!
1, I celebrate 💟🍔🥘🎂🍦☕ my Birthday in two days. 2nd day the May 4th with a smaller gathering off girls and a eggfree cake which by the way is delicious!
2, Coordinated the Wedding 🤵👰 for friends and they got Married.
3, Stop ⛔working with Farefri AS.
4, Has started a 👩💻 job-couching-course.
5, Got a super drive to write applications 📄⌨💻 and send them away the electronic 📧 💻🔌 way (which is how we do it in Norway).
6, Celebration 🎉🎉 with friends on a pick-nick & swimming day the 1st weekend in June 🎉🎉🎉 (a comman celebration with my friend Cheryl who also has birthday 🎉🎉 in May. We have talked about this the last 3 years and now we did it.)
7, I figured out that I do not have enough chilly clothing so I started earlier this week on sewing projects. Re-sewing linnen pants to a blouse.
8, It’s been the National Day for 🇸🇪 Sweden my home-country 🇸🇪.
And here we are. 😂😂😂
But it is getting better and soon we will finally get some rain. Summer 🌧rain and ⛈thunderstoms. 😍
Overandout.

This Spring has not been easy when it comes to “get to gym”. It’s been and still is a bumpy road. Just the fact that when I wasn’t sick with a cold I had other issues… Headeach or period or feeling like a big big tractor been droven over me…
If you have knowledge about fibromyalgia you know that people with that get real pain in muscles when the weather is changing. I have a light version of that (thanking God for that!) But still I get sick and can’t do a thing. 
But it is hope and I have faith and it’s been wores then it is today. This all effects me on when, how often or how not often I hit the gym…the only thing that gives me a physical kick in life and so much more energy then anything else..
I pray for healing and trusting God that one day this shi*t will be gone and I can do what is good for my body.

It’s time for a change. The hair is growing but not as fast as I could wish for. Normally I would not complain which I don’t in that sense but right now I couldn’t be more happy if it was a bit longer. 😂😂😂
So to make it as close as I wish I have to bleach it… which I haven’t done in years! It’s to redbrownish and I need it to be more blond..
Here we go… here it is step by step 😊 from the top with my old outgrown haircut and red-brownish hair colour to after the bleaching.
Done 😉 it’s perfect! Not to orange not to blond 😍
Next step in this changing will happend on May 5th…. step by step from excited to all hair in. I will go from haveing short hair to long by putting extentions in. 😊 First time ever for that 😲. But I have since January wanted long hair again.
It’s 3 years since I cut off my long hair and went for all kind of shorter haircut. I was tired on my long hair. Tired of looking the same, having the thick hair I do get.
It has hit me that I have some kind of habbit to grow out my hair for 2 maximum 3 years. Let it be and not doing much and the cut it, have short for 3 or maximum 5 years and then it starts again… 😂😂😂😂

This morning started with coffee spots on my hoodie ☹ they were there from before but I had forgot about them 😂😂😂 anyway… So instead of trying to find an other hoodie I was creative with colours covering the coffee.
Why you migth think, well I just wanted to use my white hoodie with black lips on the front on my Birthday today. I wanted something I haven’t used in a long time. 😉
Lets see if my colleague know which day it is today….they did and they wanted to celebrate me with lunch out.
After work I met up with my friend Bobbi Jo and went to the Swedish MAX Burger place.
Even if I was filled since lunch I ate a burger meal 😆 We headed of to Nails art and got my very first manicure 😲😊😍
I’m finally on my way home 💞 after 12 hours! I am thankful for my body isn’t tired yet.
The final last thing that made my day was the phone greeting from my family in Sweden 💞💞💞
The celebration will continue tomorrow…

I am so lucky to be a part of an other Wedding Party. This year I am the Wedding coordinater again but I have been a part of the planning since a bit before they actully picked a date. And the bride to come wants me to be a part om most everything.
This book is something I have been wanted for some time and now I got it. So nice to know where you wrote the last things and helpful to find everything in one place. 🤣😊😍
It hasn’t been much to do until now, and now it’s only 18 day’s left. 😂😣😲😊
It’s gonna be more to think of and fix and help and do the decoration, reading emails, be the communication person between the Wedding Couple and Hotel, where they not just gonna sleep but also have the party. 😊 It might be Stressful some day’s to both be working and do this on my speartime but I will be paid this year. I learned myself a lesson last year.
So far and so close up I am still enjoying it.
For exampel I was talking to the bride to be yesterday, we got back to my home after I was done at work. Went through the list for the day and the day’s before when most of her family is coming from America. How does it look like, when is whom coming, how to transport everyone to the BBQ Party and how naiv will some off the Americans be who never travled before?
The list did stop but it took us 2,5 hours including eating dinner. 😂😂
We are lucky that we think the same and both have we experience from behind the Wedding Planing 😍 so we both know how much it is to think of. But it is still a bit rough for my friend to see and understand it all. “It hit me how many small details I have to think off” says the Bride to be.
To get her head around and understand that the small details need to be closing up. To put off time with the groom and make the program, menu, sitting, table map, guest book etc.

My plan was to go to Church today, be there to 11 o’clock (am). On my way out of bed I realizes my back hurts and I can nearly walk. Not a good sign! So instead I decided I to read more in the bible app I have. To study the word. To continue on my good habit.
I have started 2 new bible plans, 1,Wisdom and 2, Exploring your gifts.
I try to read one “chapter” each day before I start my day and heading to work or before I sleep depending on how tired I am when I woke up. Did I oversleep in the morning, then I read in the evening.
I have had a long learning curve off how to get a good habit of reading the Bible. It has taking me until this year and this Easter… but I am doing so much better now. ☺
I am learning more each day of all the different things about what the Bible is teaching us.
I must say that those bible plans has helped me yo get in to a good habit and rythem. Without them I would be in my “not reading bible place”.
In the Wisdom plan today, one question was “where do you spend time? In the social media or with God?” And here I am in one part of social media sharing my thoughts in life about how to spend time with God. Kind of ironic in one way.
In Exploring your gifts plan, one question was “How can you cultivate your gift if you’re not currently in a place where you can act your passion?”
I know one of my gifts from God but is that all? Do I have more gifts or is it just a passion? This is something I would like to explore. Can I combinde those? I just have to ask God for guidance and widsom to understand how this works. I also need to get involved in a Church and ask friends to pray for this with me.
I don’t know how God is speaking to you but I know he is. You just need to listen. I just know that if I don’t talk to God my Father every day my relationship gets weaker with him and it will be even harder to listen to what he has to tell me.
I am doing this to understand more and get a better relationship with him who is my Father in my life. He who can guide me in all directions and areas.

Here I am, sitting on a floorpillow on the floor. I have just sorted the wash piles for later today. Reading the bible on my smartphone while I have this veiw …
Blue sky and the sun is shineing. It’s a clear day.
I am trying to understand what I just read. The meaning of the words, the depth of sentence. How to do this in life, how to seek and receive from God. How to do it practicly?
This is new and good for me. I am curious how God will start speak to me and how those words can change my thinking. I am willing to do some changes in my life for him. This is the first day on a new journey with God.
It’s like I’m getting on a new train and I don’t have a clue on where it will take me… but it’s okay. 😊

I take the metro each day to my workplace like most other people in Oslo. Everyone is on their way. Some are stressed some sleeps.
This morning I felt like one of those who sleep or rest their head. I felt like sombie even the first hour at work. Why? Because I went up one hour earlier then normal. I am not a morning bird! I like my extra hour in the morning! But right now it’s actully quite okay to be heading home. So it has the benefit of get up earlier to be home early.
One hour makes such a big different in the afternoon!
I will try to get up the same time until the sommer-holliday. I let you know how it goes. But this is only week-day’s!

Life goes on whatever you do in life that is fact. We do all have day’s when we have more or less things to do. We all have day’s when we do not want to do a tiny thing but we have to because we have a job or family we can not just delete. But the feeling are there.
We have day’s when we want to be more social then other day’s or when we actully are spontanious social because we met someone we have not seen in a long while.
Those day’s are life. They are there.
Do I have this life? Yes! Am I happy every day? No, but I can try to be positiv. Positiv for friends, co-workers and family or neighbors.
I went to church today and there did the pastor talk about our daily life and challenges God askes us to do for him. One of them I reflected pver was “do we see our neighbors need for things in their daily life?” Are we a part of anything they need help with? What can we do practicly for them? How do we get to know our neighbors if we do not know them?
I am lucky to know most of my neighbors where I live, because I needed to get to know them few years ago. I am blessed to live where I live. I have not earned it but God have given me that.
Have you thought about why you are living where you are living? Are you blessed where you live? Cam you get to know your neighbors? Daily thoughts in life.

Frustration comes from nowhere most the time. It pops up. Mostly it disapare as fast as it came for me. But right now it’s still on my mind. 😐
Nothing is fun or feel positive right now. It’s more “how will I survive the rest of this month”- feeling with lots of frustration. ☹
My frustration is my life-situation. It’s the lack of getting a job. Lack of a better income. Lack of be able to have some money over in the end of the month.
The picture show my refridge. What I have and no more until the 20th this month.
I am not the kind of person that get depressed but this situation is close to that state of mind… Life isn’t easier just because I am a Christian (if you thought so). I have the same challenges in life as anyone else. I can through it on God and knowing I don’t need to think about it. Which if you who don’t believe, probably struggel with challenges.
I did struggel a lot about most thinking of economics before I started to believe on what the bible says.
I just have to trust God for a miracle to be able to take one day in the time. At least my cat’s have what they need.
