Resume of my “reading”.

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/

Life, being a Christian, challenges, being a woman…

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…

January the 5th-22

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!)

Keep pooring, when you feel empty.

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.)

I hope you get as inspired as I got.

Blessed last week from December 22nd.

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.

Have a blessed time until next post!

2021 Advent verses, December 24th.

Merry Christmas everyone! Here comes the biblevers for Christmas Eve.

Galatians 6, vers 9.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

A week after I got the job…

I recived an interview request on a job I actually applyed to (!) I had to decline it.

Which was so wired 🤪 , becauce I never been in that situation before, but I already had a job. 😊🙏✝️.

I had to share it with my nearest friends, before here.

The Lords way isn’t ours!

He showing us which way to walk if we trust Him.

My testimony is in my blog, how my rollercoaster Spring went from chaos to prayeranswers.

One after the other. How the Lord showed me love by trusting Him even the day’s when everything felt nothing but chaotic.

My testimony is real. It’s my life.

The Lord literally is a part of my life and Faith.

He challenges me to do things his way when some, non Christian some Christian, who don’t understand how I dare to just jump into something so unsure future.

It’s all about Faith.

You need to have faith and believe in what you doing even during the doubting!

Life.

Interesting greeting, panic, all my thoughts?,where is my faith? doubting, grace…

It’s interesting how the Lord works! Ten years ago before I moved back to Oslo area the Lord gave me some hints about why I needed to move to Oslo area. What I needed to wait for, when living there, before being able to move back to the west coast.

Sunday April 18th, I went through some online preaching I haven’t listen to just “added” to my list to “some day I will start to listen to them”. And in one of the podcast’s they had questions in the end. One of the question where “what are you waiting on?” And I thought, this is perfect to this blog! What are you waiting on,haven’t the Lord answered your question or is it something else you waiting on? You who following my blog.

Why do we need to Wait on things?

Two of my closest girl friends needed to get married and become pregnet or even have a child before I could move. An interesting sentence   from the Lord to recive. What about me? Should I wait even longer before I met “my hubby”???

An other thing was that the Lord needed to work within me and with me. Which He has. As one of the things ” a hubby “. When I was 19 y.o. I told everyone who asked me about life that I didn’t wanna have my own kids, which probably was a bit wierd to most people,sadly most of them were Christians. ” it will past ” they said. Like it was a cold or something… 😔. But I haven’t ever had a feeling of “need to become pregnet” becauce I would rather have fosterkids or helping families who needs it with their kids when the time comrs for that. I just wanted ” a hubby “.

All about Believing.

It was a new journey a head of me. And I have to say a lot of things has happend with me, my faith and my friends those years.

We are all waiting on something.

A short story from those last ten years…

In 2011 I had to find something to do…

In 2012 I took an other course becauce I could not go back and work in kindergarten after November 2010, when I injured my back.

2013 I had a knee surgery and eleven months of physiotherapy. I had to learn to walk again.

In 2014, still no work, still a bad back. New longer course. But it didn’t leed to a job…

2015 – 2017, different types of administration and Hotel. BUT in 2015 I asked the Lord about moving and the thing I recived was “wait”. And in 2017 one of my closest friends got married. Was this an other sign?

2018 the year of many changes! My first job I kind of liked for 5 months. In May I started the fifth course (during those last seven years) which actually was of interest!!   May 18th, the other close friend got married 😍😍. Now I knew time would not be to far away for ” the move back to the west coast ” In August I got my foot in to my first propper work in years 😊🤩😊. The first school job, was this the job I had “been looking for all those years of waiting ?” It was a open door from the Lord. But it wasn’t ” the job “. I also knew other things needed to get in place…

2019 came, I got a new job, where I am now. And I know the Lord wanted me here.

In 2020 came Corona and my contract was extended until 2021. 🤩. I moved from Oslo community to Bærum community. A start on getting out of Oslo, the City I never liked but stayed there becauce the Lord wanted to use me there. In March I started as a janitor beside my orginal job. The first girl friend got pregnet (YAY the move getting even more closer).

The Autumn of 2020.

This last fall (Autumn-20) I knew that I wouldn’t stay in Bærum community longer then next summer (which is now). I also recived a new sentence.

Those two girl friends are now married 🤩. And I have been applying for jobs in Rogaland community since february 🤪 still no job. And now have I started to get panic!! Where will I move? Where will I work?? Gaaaa! The whole point of all this becauce I want and need to work more than 70%. I have so much panic and start to think “was I so wrong understanding the greetings?” Was it just me, who wants to move back to the only place I ever felt like home in Norway? am I moving back to Rogaland community? Or not?

I need to move out where I am living now July 31st!! It’s not to late to get a job theoreticly but I am starting to doubt on the whole thing…😔 the panic is getting bigger. God give me one interview with a job-offer!! Or give me a hint on what I am doing wrong!!

I don’t know what to do more than apply.

But, is the Lord on my side in this?? I’m panicking and have started to doubt. I just want to cry!! is the Lord guiding me steps? I have been trusting the Lord so far but now?

I am missing to have a propper housechurch and meet & pray with, if not in person at least online. I have this last year lost some part of my faith becauce of where I live and the Corona. 😔😔😔. I miss the Church IMI in Stavanger, Rogaland. It feels like I have lost myself a bit to… I don’t know where to go, look, do…

On the other hand has GOD used me and blessed me a lot this last year…

April Challenge

Or do you want to stand on the same place becauce it bruings comfort? That’s how I felt when I asked the Lord about this journey.

Yesterday (April 13) I had a chat with God, said that I haven’t found a job of interest in Trøndelag county only in Rogaland county. Therefore, I focus on continuing apply for a job there. & that God will show me what job it will be.

Tonight (nigth between April 13 & 14) I dreamed that I had 2 interviews on Teams or Zoom. 😉
& I have peace. 😊.
So it seems like it becomes Rogaland 😉 on me.

All situations!!

No matter if I have confedence or not in this He will be there with me!

He will help me.

He is my compass, GPS, life.

It is both scary and like an adventure. 🤪😍

I want to be able to live closer ti the sea on the west coast of Norway. 😍.
Is what’s needed here.

I just have this smile in my face and the peace og this is the next step.

I don’t have a clue of the future but I am trusting my peace I have. I have made up my mind. Focusing on one area geografic is enough. I just now He helps me hold on to the road or path that will lead my steps to the job that is ment for me. 😊.

He, the Lord will guide my steps and open up the right door. It’s hard some day’s to stay on track. But He guides me in all areas in my life.

I have to trust for both a new home will show up where my cat also can live, will be cheap enough for this year and the years a head and the right new job.

I am moving back to the county, the only place in Norway, I felt at home. The area I have been missing for the last ten years… The area I have told friends I want back to “one day”. That day is getting closer 🤩🤩🤩 every day 😍😍 ✝️.

A new opportunity, a new chance.

And this weekend (23rd – 25th) I have written two applications and need to write a third (!)🤪🤪.

This is my new life at the moment. Hectic but I choose it. On top of this, I was substitute for two teachers this last week at work on top of my regular hours 🤪🤪 but fun!!

After a cup of coffee.

This morning after a cup of coffee I said to the Lord ” I have peace for Trøndelag and Rogaland ” (counties in Norway). Are these the two counties I will apply for jobs in??? Then I need a concrete answer and stronger peace over this.

Where to go.

To ask out loud helps me to, one clear my mind, two knowing He has heard my question.

So I think I will be focus on those two counties when I looking for a new job now. 😊.

To have focus. To relax. To clear my mind.

I will know quite soon if it’s right or wrong.

I would never apply for a new job without asking the Lord or without putting it into his hands. If I don’t let Him be a part of my new season how will He be able to guide me?

To have Faith in a crazy situation is something I have been through before and now it doesn’t feel so crazy anymore. I have been through this more than once and it only led to good things, a blessed periode and positive surprices. 😊 ✝️ .

To be comfort in your own decision and the peace from above. Is the key for me and I hope you will find it too.

✝️

Open up the Channel.

Open up the Channel to God. Don’t hassitate to do it some day’s or some hours. The Lord doesn’t work that way. Here I am, was eating while God started this post with me and He gave me those words.

Maybe this post will be even more relevante now a year after the big lockdown in many countries around the world. Then when the Lord gave me inspiration in January this year.

To encourage you, to open up the Channel doesn’t happend when you want but when the Lord has something he wants to get out there among all of you. This encouragement happends to you who need a push in the right direction, to you who need to be encourage, who maybe need more of Him or just you are in a situation where you don’t know or understand how to hear His voice.

Maybe extra unencourage with all those mutations we do have around us in March 2021.

In today’s society is it easy to think “I’ll do it later”. And sadly this is also many who do when it comes to God too. But to put God on hold isn’t very good. He will still be there no matter if you “shut him off” or stayed “tuned” with him.

So, where are you?

Do you listen?

Maybe HE wanted you to be connected when you took the break.

Do you know which wave you are on to reach the frequency God is on?

Did you close the door? Have you turned off the radio or closing the bible and maybe even stopped to pray?

The Lord is waiting on you to open up your channel, get on your frequency and be “on air” with Him.

I have to say I still struggle with the reading but my channel is open to the Lord. I talk to the Lord every day. I pray and give thanks in the evening. I catch up with other Christians when it’s possible. I listen to worships and podcast’s both home and on my way to work. And becauce of this, I can feel how He is guiding me step by step towards what he wants. To be open for what He wants.

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. 🙏 ✝️.

Summer with Doubts & Peace.

I have been going through a summer full of different feelings. Issues to actually Trust the Lord about this situation. Learning it doesn’t help to try by myself. Only helps to Trust the Lord.

The front picture is my symbol for how narrow my space has felt. How narrow the Lord has been. How narrow my mind has been. Yet, I can only see Gods Love through this Summer for me.

3 hours of creativity the other Day this week. ❤

How the Lord has given me time to be creative to not think to much. Given me time with friends or to start at the gym, to not think to much.

My prayers; ” Thank you GOD for the peace in my weard situation. Only you know what I am going through. Only you can give me what I need. Only you know what’s coming. How my future look like. Only you know how to hlp me get through this. Thank you GOD for the peace, grace, patience, love you given me in this & for this. “

I use this picture to describes my longing for a man in my life. I stand on the road far away from the mountain which for me is a symbol of my future hubby/ husband.

My prayers; ” Thank you GOD for helping me understand on the way. Thank you GOD for given me this.  Thank you GOD for your blessings. Guide my steps. Guide my future hubby. “

My doubts is there, not 24/7, but close. Is this the right time? Is this what you wants for me? How can I trust? Well GOD has given me peace lots of it every day I doubt. ❤ Every time I wonder the peace gets bigger and deeper. And his love! WOW!!

My prayers; ” Thank you GOD for this day, tmrw and the coming week and weeks. Thank you for taking care of me and my thoughts, prayers and life. ✝️ Guide him, guide me. Lead us. Bless us where we are and in what we are doing. Bless the times we will have together when that time comes. ❤

My prayers; ” Surprice me by given me patince & knowlegde. “

And the Lord does!🙂😍❤✝️

God allowed me to try something I was sceptical to; Tinder. You have heard about it I know that. You can find all different types of websides or app’s to find love now day’s. So I ended up on Tinder. Where it’s a lot of weard people for sure! But it is also some, meaning few!, who are more interesting!

I’ve been chatting with few more interesting guys this Summer. I ended up with one (good!) And this guy is the one I have had doubts about. All this blog is about him and God... This guy have I prayed for since day one,and I believe God is with Him. He is still a bit of a mysterious person but GOD has given me peace about him. And I trust GOD about him. I don’t have a clue where this will go or lead but just the fact I have Peace for him and whatever happends is good enough for me. ✝️❤✝️

Our path is God’s path. He will LEAD US when WE trust Him.

John 15 verses 16-17.

Thoughts after house church meeting on zoom, June 6th. Where the theme was John 14 & 15. And those who were leading the house church a couple they started to read those chapters each by them selfs and than together. This was as much as I recall of what I manage to follow before I ” fell out “..

I started to read JOHN 15 and I kind of fell off or out of the ” meeting ” while I read v. 8, v.16-17 and v. 26. They spoke to me. In different ways. How the Lord is Vine and I am a branch (v.8), How HE chose me (v.16-17) & at last HE will send the Spirit & Truth to me (v.26).

Does it speak to you? What are your thoughts about this?

What is my thoughts about the fruit that John is talking about? Have I (you) been in a situation where the Father (the Lord) is the gardener and cuts of the branches of mine that doesn’t produce fruit?

Maybe. I can’t recall any situations right now. But I probobly have. How will I otherwice grow as a Christian person? How does he do it? How does he cut the branches while I still live? Well he doesn’t do it physical it’s a metafor or picture. And what is the fruit? How do I know it is a fruit from the Lord?

I recall one of the others talk about how they were thinking of the fruits. Like being a helping person or testify about what I/you belive. How Jesus is a part of my/your life.

Am I that kind of person, that talks about what I belive to those I meet? No, and I have never been. But I have a tattoo that for me is my testify of my faith. I have chosen to do it this way mostly becauce I have easily to chat with new unknown people.

In John 15 vers 8, Yes, I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who remaine in me and I in them, will produce much fruit.

How to stay and be the good branches? How to produce more fruit? That is my questions after reading this. How can I produce more fruit in my life as a Christian while I am who I am? He is the vine I am the branch. 😍 ✝️

In John 15 verses 16-17; You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. This is my command: Love each other.

HE, Jesus chose me. ✝️

He chose me to Love each other!

To do things out of love, no matter what it is You do for others.

John 15 vers 26; “But I will send you the Advocate —the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me.”

This vers talked to me in the way that ” the advocate will come to me from the Father.. ” Whatever happends I will be able to recive this as a believing Christian. I need to seek and read and talk to him who chose me. He has given me this. He has given me the Spirit of thruth! WOW what a gift to recive!! This is big!

How I sharing my faith with those I meet daily. As I wrote above, I have chosen to do it by tattoos (I will finish the one tattoo I started on in 2008 (P.U.S.H.)). Which for other people is just a symbol or letters has a bigger and deeper meaning for me and I know what it stands for and than I tell them my story. How I became a Christian and how those 4 letters is how Christian people around me prayed for me. How theirs prayers became my new path in life. The continuing of this tattoo is F.R.O.G. – Fully Rely On God. My way to the Christian I am today.

When the Lord is guideing you.

Every second Saturday I meet up on Zoom with my house church. Something I look forward every time it getting closer.

This Saturday May 23, the sharing was about ” to have faith and do what you believe “.

In Luke 6:46-49; ” you find the words about, how to build your house or Christian life on a good fundation so when the storm comes you wont fall or your house wont be destroyed. “

Is it enough to ” just ” read the Bible or Worship? How do you Live, and how do you Do it in action, what the Lord telling you to do?

Many good veres was shared!




You can have Faith in your heart, but it’s not before your Faith in your heart and that you do something in Action that the Lord can act in you!

In Matthew 12:34; ” You brood of snakes! How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? For whatever is in your heart determines what you say “.



When the Lord guideing you, You need to listen to His voice and Walk in Faith.

In 2 Corinthians 9:10‭-‬11 it says;

” Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.

For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. ”

And it was when this was reading load for the group the Lord was talking to me. He asked me to get in contact with an other person of this group. And to ask if she needed something. When she answered she said, yes. And she explained her situation and that she had asked the Lord how to do in the situation. To have faith.

I listen to the Lord and I could bless her. Me who have been blessed in similar situations. The Lord knows us and what we need to do is to walk in faith and just do.

I have been struggling with my financial situation for many years, but the Lord knows how to bless me bless others ❤. HE has blessed me with a job I love and with money when I need it. I am SO Thankful for all the things that has started in this season. And knowing HE is still guideing my feets ❤❤❤. And he knows what and when things gonna happend. 😊

Have Faith.

Be encourage.

Walk with the Lord.

Worship.

Worship is important. Maybe even more important in this crazy time of Corona.

I can not say I have felt less Christian until now. No. But I can say, I have not been worship as much I maybe should, and been needed. Yesterday, Saturday May 9, did I met up with my house church online. A wonderful few hours! And we were worshiping, praying and sharing.💜✝️

There and than I could not stop the melody in my head. It was like this song was just what I needed. It’s a Norwegian song, called “The grave is empty”.

The lyrics to, The grave is empty;

Jesus was tormented until death. Chose to bleed for my sin. He who was pure was ashamed. God made a mockery for my sake.

(Bridge) //: The tomb is empty Jesus is alive now. In honor and in power. Eternal – death is subject to Him. ://

The sun rises over the garden. The day when death came to life. Jesus is not in the grave. The night is eternally over.

Bridge; //: The tomb is empty Jesus is alive now. In honor and in power. Eternal – death is subject to Him.://

See He who died He lives. Rays of honor and brilliance. The power that overcame death. Live in those who are His.

Bridge; //: The tomb is empty Jesus is alive now. In honor and in power. Eternal – death is subject to Him.://

You can find this Song in Norwigian at YouTube. To find the melody.

For me those words were just what I needed to hear. The deep meaning, the Love from Him who loves us more than anything!

A word from those hours yesterday that stayed with me was Act 27:34-36.

“Please eat something now for your own good. For not a hair of your heads will perish.”, “Then he took some bread, gave thanks to God before them all, and broke off a piece and ate it.”,
Then everyone was encouraged and began to eat.”

How important it is for us Christians to eat and be encourage from the Lord. To stand in faith in this crazy time in the world. To worship the Lord. To have focus on the cross.

Forgiveness

An comman word this last two weeks both in Church and with my transdermal cell group is; FORGIVENESS. We have been sharing our thoughts and experence about forgiveness, about how to be able to move forward .

What have you been through in life that has given you a bitter taste or bitterness or maybe even depretion?

How can you Forgive those around you so you will be free and forgiven?

How to trust our heavenly Father?

How to change a pattern you have had for years?

Well, what I did was. I made up my mind. Made a decition. I had a conversation with the Lord about what I wanted to change, years ago. I have been forgiven many old classmates that bullied me as a teenager. I have forgiven my dad who hurt me for many years menthally. I have forgiven people who for some reason have hurt me.

And by forgiven them all I recieved a peace inside of me.

I steped out in faith.

I hope you get inspired to do the same. God, our heavenly Father want to help you the whole way and through the whole process it will take for you.

❤ ✝️ 🙏

HaPPy New Year – Walk in Faith.

I want to share this. And experence I’ve just had. How the Lord answering when I trust Him and when I walk in faith.

I just have to use this picture again.

I was contacted by friends to me about the place they renting right now. It’s a bit outside on the West side of Oslo but still closer to my work. Before I had resinged my rented place. (!)

They told me they gonna move into the house they bought two years ago. Which means that the place they renting will be emtpy and they thought about me.

It’s a good two room with kitchen and livingroom and a space outdoors, which could fit me and my cat 🐈.

It made me think a bit more on “what does the Lord want for me ” rather than “what do I want”.

Since I moved back to Oslo 8 years ago I always wanted to move out of Oslo cause I am not a City girl!

So,

I talked with the Lord a lot(!) in a short week.

“Is this the right place?”, “is this a part of what God put on my heart about twenty years ago?”, “Am I ready?”

I have had friends with me in prayer if this was what God wants for me.

It is an apartment next to a Mission center so it comes with some tasks. It didn’t make me unsure. It actually made me more sure that if the Lord opened up this door He knew and knows why.

So, this Tuesday I went there for a interview-chat. I met two older men in theirs 70’s and they did interviewed me! Than they asked me to go next door – to my friends “for a visit” and check the house propper and ask them questions.

After the interview they told me they gonna talk to the rest of the Mission center board.

On Thursday January 9, one of men texted me “We have decided to offer you the caretaker possion & the caretaker’s recidence”.

= that’s our prayeranswer!

P.U.S.H. – Pray Until Something Happends.

To trust Him & Believe.

To put my life in His hands was the key.

He has a path for me and if I don’t trust Him to open up or close doors he can’t use me.

F.R.O.G. – Fully Rely On God.

✝️

Question;

Do you trust Him or do you rather making your decitions?

Do you dare to always trust Him?

/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.2020.

How aware are we of what we saying?

Sustainable Life: Relationships

The tongue has power over death and life.

We need to think of how and what we saying in the meeting with friends, new people, Church and family. We need to think what is coming out is it positive or negative?

Presence of positive moments.

Make sure you make positive moments with whomever you meet.

We must take care to replenish with positive words in the day, do not use negative words. Be conscious of what I said.

Why fails to stumble? What is it that makes me repeat things, words, situations without thinking about what was done?

Do they (I) mean everything they (I) say or do they (I) just say something to have something to say?

How aware are we of WHAT we say when we speak?

SMALL THINGS HAVE GREAT POWER

If we want a change we must GO to the source!

What the heart is full of what the mouth is talking about.

I hope this is as inspiring for you as it is for me. We always need to be reminded of this! To be able to live close to the Lord we need to open up our mind.

Step by step with the Lord.

The interview went well on Friday the 9th. It was a positive interview. I felt the lord was with me all the time. ✝️ The Lord gave me peace for the job and the school. I can’t say I got it because they need to call my references. But it was like the Lord spoke to me in the evening “I will give you what you need”. And I have to trust my Lord on those words.

I waited on a answer for about four day’s. Got an textmsg with information of ” We can’t give you an answer until next week about who will get the job.”

This was a answer I needed. Because this ment I had to trust the Lord on my desition. I made up my pro – con list. Prayed. And made up my mind.

I said yes to the first job offer on 50%. And today the 25th I have been working in the Youth School for a week and I’m getting there. 🙂

I think this is the place for me this School year.

I still trusting the Lord when it comes to my financial cause I can’t see how I will be able to live and pay my bills. 😟

And I don’t know what or how I will be able to support the student but the Lord knows. 😊 And that’s where my faith is.

✝️

I have to let God have the focus of my Life. I need to trust in faith. To hear Him talk. To show me what He want me to do and where.

How God is using us in unexpected situations.

Today have I been exploring a new area just on the boarder of Oslo and Bærum.

It’s an small river that divide the area’s a part with a bridge. This is the place…

At this water did I had a good talk with my girl friend about our daily life as Christian’s. About our gift’s our Lord has given us and how we dear to try them and learn in the process.

What we think is the hard part, how to deal with it and how important it is to share with other Christian’s!

Where the water made the whole conversation much easier for us both to share.

How I could inspire her with my faith ✝️ and how God is using me the way He does. 🙃🙂

This day become much more than I thought it would be. Just because we both shared something about our faith.

It was a good swim today in a good temperature water, with stream! But the best was the time we got together and with God!

He is where we are and He knows what we need, hear or talk about with each other.

Overandout.

A faith that hold and carry us.

(From the preaching June 23.)

Life challenge when we ask God specific what we want and which door He open.

Genesis 15:1-5;

1,«After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, «Do not be afraid, Abram I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.» 2,But Abram said, «Lord God, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damscus?» 3,Then Abram said, «Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!» 4,And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, «This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.» 5, Then He brought him outside and said, «Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you able to number them.» And He said to him, «So shall your descendants be.»

What do we do when things doesn’t go like we want? Have God told you something that you are still waiting on? How does God’s challenge you? And does God challenge you like he challenged Abraham?

blog 23.6.29

Are you trusting God and God’s plan, when things aren’t going like you thought? Are you standing there and asking «where did you go God?» Just because you don’t feel God?

What does the Hebrew letter say to us?

Hebrew 6:13, 6:19.

6:13; «For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself»

6:19; «This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the evil.»

Where are your anchor?

Who is your anchor?

Are you trusting God and His plan for your life?

20181117_115154.jpg

Why do we fear God and don’t trust ourselves? Because we don’t trust God enough.

How and what do we do with the covenant we have to and with God?

Make sure that the anchor fall totally down to the bottom. Make sure that the anchor do it’s purpose in your life!

Does your faith endure challenges?

Do you trust God?

moving-day
The challenge from God can look or feel like this sometimes.

My thoughts….

I know I trust God. I reminding myself of the fact that I have to put all my life into his hand if my life is gonna to work. If I don’t trust my Heavenly Father I don’t know how my life would look like. Well I know it wouldn’t look like it do right now.

This preaching has enough questions to read this more then twice! Which I hope you do. Sit down somewhere you feel you can get some input from God. Think over those questions, see if you can answer them right away or if you actually need some time maybe days. It’s not an easy answer here!

As far as I know, I know I trust God and give Him my life every day but do I listen to all He says? I believe I miss some of all the things he is trying to tell me. I can be busy with other things or maybe it’s the TV that take “all my attention”?

I want to be challenge of God in my life, I don’t know if I am ready for it all the times though. I believe those questions are important! to live with every day! And I think it’s one of the challenges God has given us.

To be there and listen to him.

To trust him always.

To not fear.

To accept a challenge and learn on the way in our Christian life wherever we are in our journey with Him. ❤

The World Most Important Habits.

This is a resume from the preaching from May 19th from my Church.

20180607_1806511521395647.jpg

 

  • To do things automatically as God had done it.
  • Emotions are both good habits and bad habits.

IMG_20190604_142932~2356

 

  • Living purely, gives better visibility in life, and then you know where you are going.
  • If you walk in the fog, you often get lost.

img_20190504_1609374579595539602505389.jpg

 

  • To make a choice in Life with God and You can serve in another way. Connect the heat to what God has given you.

IMG_20190524_143456

 

  • To serve is all about finding the Balance in your life.
  • Make choices. Uncovering habits. Don’t think so much about the feelings when the choice is made.

IMG_20190519_194743

  • What you are doing over time turns into good habits.
  • See people around you. Put away what makes you self-absorbed.

 

I hope you get some positive input from this post. 😉

To be you and share your life.

Yesterday on my way home I was thinking about to write here, thinking on what to share. I did not get longer then that. The sun’s heat hit my brain, to the point that when I were home the only thing I could think of was ice cream, water and how to get my body colder. But here I am, the day after. Actually writing.

And what I want to share is a part of my daily christian life. How my work feels like a blessing and how to be a blessing to someone that is just visit your city for a Day or two. How to be you and share your life, as simple as it is. And how important it is to be you in any situation. ❤

How I on my spear-time share my life with tourist-girls, to stay in my house and sleep on my couch because I have a profile on couchsurfing.com. How I through this – CouchSurfing environment – can be a blessing for those who want to have an experience of Oslo, my city, and by my faith trust God that this time with those girl who I accept to stay, will I somehow put a seed into those girls life. My simply life can be a blessing because Norway is an expensive country to visit!

Last time I had a CouchSurfer girl here is not that long ago, but I had a long break to host between august-18 to now in May-19 (!) I felt God talking to me to just say yes to her to stay with me. I did not read a thing about her when I accepted her stay. I did read on the way down town, just before I actually met her on the bus station. Thinking “Okay this will be interesting”, Let me be able to share something.

She arrived around 3pm a Friday, we bought a 24-hour ticket to her to use, catch the tram to the grocery-store and headed home from the rainy Oslo. Got home, soaking wet and made a warm meal for both body and stomach. She went out to explore Oslo few hours that evening. When she left it had stop raining but after a small hour the sky open and the rain came hard. I got some hours to relax my body after a “long” day at work. (Long in the meaning that wrong shoes, walking a lot, rain and musical revy made by som dysfunction youth, WOW what a good Revy!)

When she got back, soaking wet one more time, we had a chat about 30minute before we fell asleep. She had noticed the words I have around my apartment “Love”, “Grace”, “Joy”, “Faith”, “TrustHim” and “Believe” and asked me if I believed and I answered Yes, I believe in Jesus. And we talked about her background and I told here how I got back to my life in faith. I think, that I planted a seed into her mind. And I can only pray for her and that God lead an other Christian person into her life where she is now.

This is also the reason for me to have a profile in this environment, where any-kind of girls can stay for free and use money and time in the city. To explore Oslo. To be able to arrive late and leave my home whenever it fit them the next day.

God has show and given me greetings with the words “Your creative part will explode and I will help you to see the green grass”. I believe this blog and the CouchSurfing is two of those things this year and I am curious to see what he will do for and with me the years that are coming!

Good News 🤩🤩🤩

God has given me lots of patience over the last 8 years!

In 2011 I had to stop working because of a accident where I was working (kindergarten). I had a bad felt backwards with my back to the ground, the “forest floor”. I hurt my back badly.
I could not work for about 2 years. 😢
In 2013, February had I mine knee surgery. I had to learn to walk from scrach. Had rehab for 11month!
In September 2014, I started a coures to further educate me within Office and administration. I had a desire to use the knowledge I carried with me in this profession. Despite having two years of practice i this profession, I never got into a job…☹️
In August 2016, was the year I started to have internship/work-experience. The first lasted a year and led to another internship in a Hotel(in back office) which didn’t lead anywhere but it led to an other internship (also office). Forth time of internship, which is the one I have had until today the 28th of February.
And tomorrow 1 of March I start working, first time in 8 years!!

Woop woop. 🤩🤩🤩

I have worked hard and tried to find a Job I thought was in the right field but God showed me what He wanted for me last May (2018).
Most people and friends I know, don’t understand how I could live in this situation/ have this life. I only trusted my heavenly Father to lead my steps.
I have asked myself “what do I want to work with?” Many times in life and the answer has always ended in “I want to work with youth”.
Now I will. 💖
From internship at the School (college) to job 😊 at the same School.

When Dad speaks, you need to trust Him.

I met up with one of my close girl friends today. We had a catch-up after Christmas. And we both realised how much Dad has spoken to us this year, prepared us for what He has for us but we don’t know what. How imporant it is to trust him when he give us something.
There I was, waiting on the metro to get home, sitting on the top of a bench…

Reflecting over our talk.

Where we invited Dad right away. Where we want him to be included when we talked.

It’s naturally for us, in a coffee place in town as much as if we would meet in each’n’others home.

How often do you include Dad?
We shared ours experiences of how Dad has showen us different types of expanding our view and understanding.
Do you share what Dad telling you to someone close? If not, I will say it’s time for you to do that 😉
