A small, short and intens trip. Part 1 of 3.

I have to get a new Passport. Meaning I need to go to Sweden! …🤪🤐 I made a call in August to book an apointment in October.

Bought 🎫tickets in September.

My ✈flight left Stavanger 09.40 am today Sunday 9th to Oslo. Can’t say I slept much during the night 🤪😴. I dislike airports! Get so stressed of the onboarding & waiting 😣. The flight was okay.

Relaxed walked I from the gate to the train stop bought the ticket for the 🚉 and had 10 min b4 the train arrived.

Hungry! When I arrived Oslo at 11.30 am. Had breakfast at 07.15 – 07.40! So…a burger helped a lot. 😊.

Bought an 24-hour ticket to get around in Oslo. Tryed than to figure out which transport to catch (metro, bus or tram). I catch a tram to a area called Solli and right now I enjoy a coffee latte (12.21-13.20 ish) in hope to stay awake. Cause right now I am tired!! From lack of a good sleep 😣😣.

#Espressohouse

Next stop is Marcus Church, to catch up with the friends I’ll stay with during my intens trip. And I am looking 4ward to visit them. And this trip to Oslo & Sweden is the first since I moved to Rogaland, Stavanger in August 2021.

Trying to get the little boy to sleep while the parents get some lunch after Church.

Being a bonus auntie is good for both me and the parantes. I’ll get to know the kid and the parantes, close friends of mine, can have a break and be a couple. 😉

On the bus to one of the Malls rang my phone…

I have had 5 day’s of Summer vaccation today. I have enjoyed allmost every day so far. Yesterday wasn’t fun! Headache all day 😦 But I managed to get out and buy paracetamol :-). Today started a bit better. I got my strong coffee and breakfast, charged my Smartphone and headed out around 1.30pm. Shopping was “on the list”. Not just shopping for fun, oh no only what I really need for this Summer and the trip I’m going on in few day’s.

And by the way, as of today in Norway, there are aircraft technicians who are on strike, so if you are going to fly, you “should” have booked a plane that is not on the ground.

I booked a flight in the beginning of May, took a chance and booked with a aircraft that is quite new on the marked, but well, so far is zero of the aircraft technicians in strike. Maybe the Lord was with me on this or I have just been lucky?!? My flight leaves on Thursday. But before that!!

On the bus to one of the big Malls here in Stavanger, was I listen to a pod as normal, rang the phone. And I couldn’t take it, why? Well the whole bus was crammed with kids (at least 40 of them with aduldts) talking. I went of the bus, checked the voicemail and I called back to the number. One of the Schools I have had Applied to in the last two weeks called me! And I got an interview!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Wednesday morning, June 28th, 08.36 will I arrive and start the interview. It takes me a bit more then one hour to get there… but it will be worth it! So if I get that job I will be needed to move again, but I think if the Lord open up this for me I’ll move to some place in-between of the school and Stavanger. But first the interview.

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.

✝️

Through Norway by train to Sweden and back home.

The trip to Sweden through Norway in pictures.

I loved the Winter landscape the train went through. ❤❤❄❄.

The funeral was beautiful. And sad. I am thankful I went. Had a chance to meet people my Mom knew that I have not seen in approxy 15years.

The funeral, December 11th in Orsa, Sweden.

I had time to spend with my family. Maybe most with the “kids” which are two teenagers and one on eleven. But it is still quality time with them. 💜.

I brought some of Mom back home to my place. Some of mom’s clothes. 💜. My way to not just remember her but also let her be a part of my life. Continuing being with me. ❤❤.

This picture symbolizes mom becauce she often sat outdoors and drank her morning-coffee.

So many good memories from mom… drinking coffee together any time of the year. Outdoors or indoors. Building jigsaw puzzle at least 500 pieces, walk, our Summer house, go on our bicycles, cooking food, learn to wash (laundry) clothes when I was 6 or 7 years old, learn to cook as an 8years old kid, pikking berries with the mosquitos 😆, to have good routines and structuer at home, to love and appreciate the nature. ❤mom ❤, you will always be with me!

Back home, I have been and still are in quartine becauce of the trip to Sweden… But I have had Homeoffice, been produtive and efficion at work. And I have been knitting after work. 💜💜🧶🧶.

Christmas gifts.

I am now on day 8 og 10 in quartine. And can not wait until the 22nd and that it is after 3pm…when I finally can go to the stores I need to buy the very last things for Christmas to just like I want it!!!

Been able to finish up with my shelf-project 💜🖌😊.

It has so far been a really good December even if I want the ❄ to come and stay for a month.

In all the sad time I have had been both blessed with enough money for the trip and blessed with good energy. Blessed with good health no Corona in me. And good friends, family and colleages! And Peace. ✝️.

The Lord is both showing me love and giving me hints on what’s good og bad for me. ❤ ✝️.

April’n’May

Oh my, it’s been forever since I wrote here. 😣😕 It’s been happening so much… Where shall I start?

Gathering boxes for the move.

I’ve moved. From Oslo to Bærum, Høvik = West of Oslo. It’s closer to work from here. The 21st of March with a blessing of friends helping me. We made the whole moved in 3,5 hours!

From March 16 have I had homeoffice 🏠💻. All becauce of CONVID-19. All schools in Norway closed March 13.

Went and bought some flowers for my outside, b4 the Easter.

This week we just past 6 weeks (!) with homeoffice / homeschool.. The last two weeks I’ve been 2 hours at the school (my workplace) in combination og homeoffice, to help students that struggling the most with the digital homeschool situation. It’s been working fine. 😊

It feels good to help those who struggle the most. 💜

🐾🐾🐾🐾

Here comes some pictures from this periode and my new neighbourhood.

The street to the train station.
Neigbourhood.
My cat-boy Silver exploring the parkinglot.

After the move, I felt like I was swimming in piles of laundry. I still almost all the durty sheets unwashed. 😣

But how lovely it is to dry the laundry in the garden when it’s sunny!

To live where I live includes a lot of work in the garden, which I like. It’s like therapy for me. And It’s easy to spend two hours outside and not just take care of all the trees but also talk to the Lord.

But it’s also so much beautiful things like those buds.

Today is 1st of May.

Yesterday evening was rainy, continuing the whole night and I think it still was raining this morning while I was sleeping.

It’s Labor day today in Norway, stores are closed, people are out and I am gonna explore more of my neighbourhood and beach area.

I started my day with coffee & breakfast and listening to my favorite pod cast with two famous people in Sweden. #wahlgren&wistam. I love it becauce it’s funny and I guess it’s becauce it’s Swedish.

Time to log out and let you read.

Time with a friend.

To share life with a friend once in a while. To grab a coffee or a cup of tea. Take time – make time.

My challenge this year is to be more social with friends after work. I have not had that kind of energy before and I am doing my best to force myself to more social after work. How can I do that?

Today Tuesday I woke up one hour earlier than normal and I’ve been tired all day and I said to myself that “it’s better to go and grab a coffee with my friend and stay at home and fall a sleep in the 🛋”

I went, and I am happy I did!

To share time, life, thoughts and things we Christians experince is both encourging and good to do. To listen to the other person. To just be in the situation.

To talk with the Lord and ask for what I wish for in life after the meeting was also something we talked about over the ☕. And I reminded myself to do that. And asked to be reminded about it every day. Becauce it doesn’t matter where we talk or when as long as we do it! ✝️

To take time is to care for the other person.

November 17, moms biRthDaY 🎉

The woman that has inspired me in many ways had biRthDaY yesterday. She became 79 yesterday 🎉🎉. She is ill with dementia and Alzheimer and she is my mom. She has learned me a lot of life, how cook food, how spend or not spend money. She is the person I look up to. She has been my inspiration in many ways.

Many people is surpriced she is still with us becauce of her illness and becauce she has been really sick twice in 13 months. Both times didn’t the doctors think she wouldn’t survive. But she is a strong woman. A lot of people was praying for her and she came back stronger. 🙏✝️

I am Thankful even though I have not seen her for the last four years. I love her even more now, than what I said or showed her when she wasn’t sick.

And I miss her.

I just want to hear her voice again…💖

She was the one that learned me to prepare food, wash clothes and make easy dinner with one of my brothers when I was 8 y.o. She nagged on me to clean my room as I become a teenager and she have helped me to move so many times 💖 (!) She has always been there even if we lived on a distance 💖 of minimum 350km to maximum 1200km for many years.

As long as I can remember she has been on a bycycle, to work or to the grocery store or prayer meeting. She loved to do easy exercice. She stoped using her bycycle about a year after she stoped to drive the car. We didn’t aloud her for safety of her self and others in trafic. But she’s been able to walk for many years. Even if it only were for 20minutes in the end, she walked. She had a small route she walked daily. 💜 She liked to be outside, she loved the forest, she went to the forest to pick wild berries and learned me where and how to find it.

This picture is from 2011 that Summer she and dad came visit me here in Norway. That was the last time she visit me. 💖 Her sickness had escalated this year and when they visit me I had to enjoy every minute I got with her being able to talk and walk. I miss that part of my mom 💖

Every year I pray I will have the opportunity to go and visit her for the last time before she is gone. 💖

I hope I make the trip in 2020 both financial and with someone that can watch my cat 🐈.

My mom was saved as a teenager and she had a relationship to the Lord. Now I 🙏 the Lord is with her every Day.

HaPPy biRthDaY Mom 💖💖💖

Love you!!

💖You have helped me in many ways in life! I can’t say it to many times, I love you Mom. 💖

The Spring of 2019.

The Spring of 2019 has arrived.

One sign of Spring is that Silver is curious on what’s outside and I let him explore.

Other signs are all the new buds, pollen and flowers.

New walking paths for me with the students I work with.

Melting snow.

Coffee, or the first Ice cream or the first Strawberries for the season.

Even Silver likes Strawberries.

The morning light… 😊 even though some mornings still have negative degrees.

The fresh colours.

It’s all new again.

The contrast between durty soil and green leafs.

The bright morning Sun light.

The new life in the nature is conrast to all the snow we have had and that makes me happy!

How a tree can grow out of a rock..

And all of this is made by our heavenly Father. He knows his thing about Colours, Fashion, Nature and what apeels to us human.

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 😉
