Tag: Applying for jobs

The peace I’ve recieved the last few days, June 9th.

I’ve got peace to stay in Stavanger municipality an other year, if that means I’ll stay where I live right now (on the island) or that I’ll move into the city I don’t know yet. What I still don’t know is where I’ll work. The job I have right now ends the 31st of July. Yet I do have peace over the fact I’ll get the job the Lord wants for me.

Does this mean that I’ll keep working with yought? Don’t know. Will I keep working in the School? Hope so, but don’t know.

Which path wil become mine?

Maybe I’ll become a substitute teacher somewhere or maybe I’ll get a job with yought like “after school hours”. Just the fact I’ve got peace helps a lot!! Last year I was so stressed about this thing “where will I get a job” and now I am in the same situation and I will just rest in it and see where the Lord is leading me. I am still applying to jobs of interest but no stress. And I have figured out I shouldn’t work more than 80%. Which also helps.

I am still applying, and won’t stop until I get something. But I feel more openminded about what I can and maybe want to try than I have been feeling for the last months. 😉 And I still have peace over the job I turned down, that it was the right thing to do.

I have been praying over this “Lord where will I work nest?” Because it is a bit frustrating some days to not know. But now, I just know it’s okay to just trust the one who have it all in His plans. So whatever everyone asks me I’ll answer I don’t know but it will be fine.

And my sparetime, well offcourse it would have been nice and easier to have the driving licence but hay, I take that when I have time and money. I will try to explore as much as possible this Summer by train, bus and ferries! I will not aloud myself to just be home and do nothing just because I don’t have a car!!

Life goes on and I’ll enjoy mosts days. 😉

Like the fog can be thick, is my faith strong.

… if it’s time or just life I don’t know, but something has hit me. (Not so hard thankfully.)

It’s like the fog on the picture above, it’s something beautiful and scarry in the same time.

I have, since I moved back to Oslo area ten years ago (2011) this month, been missing the West coast of Norway.

I moved to Stavanger in september 2010, after the Lord open up a job in a kindergarten. I felt how the Lord was talking to me and how He led me. But I did not stay as long as planned…

I lived there for 6,5months. The plan was a year, I thought. The years here on the East side have had the purpose and the Lord has worked within me and with me. And I would not be who I am if I had not moved back!

And the Lord gave me the reason why I needed to moved back to Oslo area, so I did not just move just becauce I did not like the job in Stavanger. Oh no, it was deeper than that.

But now, ten years later things are different again. And once again I have peace from the Lord about moving. Where? Well I do not now. 🤪.

So I apply for the jobs I have enough knowledge for and trusting the Lord in this too. 🙏 ✝️.

All about to apply for jobs.

My life is right now all about to apply for jobs. Which isn’t the most interesting part of life. I can’t say I have applied for thousands of jobs but more then hundred for sure.

“I am to stubborn to give up.”

In this period, which started kind of last Autumn in a combination of a course of «office an administration» my focus has mostly been on «reception» or similar kind of jobs. And most of them I got “refusal of job” back. Which hits you. I guess it hits you more in the beginning then after a while. At least that my case. Every time I get “refusal of job” back I get motivation to keep doing this until I actually get a job. I am to stubborn to give up, keep applying and stay positive but to find a new area that might work or might be easier to get into by myself isn’t as easy.

I met a friend last Saturday on the Jesus Festival here in Oslo, she asked me how my life was and how I was praying when it comes to jobs and future. And she told me, if you pray for what your heart beast for, God can open a door even in a job. I thought about that all the way back home. When I came home I said “Okay God, lets see if this works”.

The week started… and Tuesday came, I was doing daily things until the evening which is the time I check for jobs. As normal I went to the most common page here in Norway to look for job (finn.no) to see what was out. Suddenly I came over a page and a job adverts that I hadn’t even thought about but it was an interesting job! In administration. But it was to late for my brain to start the application process (at ten past twelve am).

“Taken a new turn.”

Next day came and after my “morning coffee” picked I up my laptop and started. And during the search of jobs and punching in information to the CV online I came over a third job (in school administration) that I haven’t been thinking of since 2001… I can say, that how I think about what kind of job I would like to have have taken a new turn.

If I think about what my heart beats for, it would be to work in an environment with teenagers. Not as a teacher but in the school office or even as a math teacher, but only math! I believe God has open up a window for me to a new room with clue’s in which I shall look for an other kind of job then what I have done. I believe God has started with something in my thoughts. What my dreams are about. I do not just want to get a job, I want to get a job were I do something for other. That’s have a purpose more then just urn money.

To urn money is good but it is not everything. To fulfill dreams is also good. But I want to something more but not for myself.

I think that what my friend said is logic. If we come to God with whats on our heart he can open new doors and help us with all the other things in life.

Summer rain and reflectations from a preaching.

summer rain 2Today when I woke up I thought this day will be nice maybe some clouds and maybe maybe some sun. Now its this light rain – summer rain. The sound is lovely. I wish I was inside an caravan and not sitting in my bed. Its so much more cozy in a caravan! Well well.

I went to a meeting in an other church then I normally goes to yesterday. FCC – Philippine Church in Oslo. As normal as any other Church I’ve been to the last 8 years of my Christian life. The preaching was in English (also normal for me) and about Submission in our Christian life.

bible_light

1.Submission is about to honoring others (Romans 12:1) – Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Are we honoring others? If not, why? The preacher said, “we are all rebellions inside” we want to do it our way first. If not my words or will goes first am I not willing to change just so your will gets through. That’s maybe how most people thinks and acts today. How sad if we can’t honoring others.

2. Submission is about putting others first (Philippians 2:4) – not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. How often are you putting others first? – serving others sincerely.

If you working in a office or some other place, do you putting your colleges first in order to do your things first? Do you serving others sincerely ? I like to help other people first when I know I can. I would love to be more awake about this in my life because it is important. I don’t need to put myself first. I know me but mostly I do not know the others need i life as long as they do not tell me.

In my church I serve others first, I have been doing the same task for years and sometimes I think I want to something else so I can grow as an person and to be able to serve God in something else. But I am still doing the same. What do I try to say here? Well I think it can be a challenge for other people in church to see or maybe even understand when its time to move on to other tasks. They think you doing such a good job and don’t see why a new task would be good. I think its human to think like that, so maybe we Christians need to seek God more on this part. To serve others does not always mean do the same thing every Sunday year after year.

3. Submission is about denying ourselfs (Mark 8:34-35) – hindrance in discipleship is making myself first. “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.

Do you deny yourself or just other? Have you picked up the cross? How do we deny ourselves in our daily life? I can deny my sins every day and ask for forgiveness but I think its hard from day to day. I want to. I have taken up my cross and I really trying do what God wants me to do.

I don’t know if its easier to get closer to God if you have a job with routines or if you just have to decide when you take time with God. I have been struggling with “PT” – private time with God since I got saved. For me is it easier to talk to God all the way during a day, pray on the bus on my way to work and read the daily verse online.

Routine2

A month ago when I still had a good routine every day, I did my things to get up of the bed and catch the bus. My routine was to read the bible-verse on the way to my work place. So when I then didn’t have that routine any more it slipped out of my life.. I know I need routines to get around in life including to read the bible. So my daily life today is not as I want it. I applying for jobs a struggle itself. But I do have a positive mind and hope and faith of a new job soon.
