I went to Sweden Saturday the 18th of June because I had to go and get my things from the storage place I’ve used for all the years I’ve been living here in Norway (soon 9 years), if I didn’t go and get it it would have been send to a 2nd hand store which I did not want.
We left around 8:20 am from Oslo, me and two strong male friends from my Church. A trip that took longer then we thought it would take. It isn’t longer then 400km one way and it should take around 5,5 – 6 hours but it took nearly 7,5 one way. Well we had our lunch-stop at IKEA Karlstad…
So we arrived to Svärdsjö, outside of Falun, Dalarna at 2 pm outside the chapel which was the storage place – Svärdsjö is really on the country side! Cozy farming area about 26km northwest of Falun. We walked around stretching our legs before we started the packing into our Van, which went smoothly even if I found stuff I totally had forgotten, we were done in 2,5-3 hours. Hit the road hungry so our first stop was for food at MAX – a Swedish burger business. Back on the road at 8 pm with the same amount of Scandinavian miles a head of us (400km).. few necessary stop’s like peeing and gas otherwise just a lot of laughs in the car. We came finally home to Oslo around 2 am Sunday-morning maximum tired after nearly 17 hours on the road. Crazy trip!But now it’s over. 🙂
MAX Falun. The Van with the “burger as a crown” was our.
God have prepared a lot before the whole trip started! and I have been SO blessed through the whole trip! God made me be able to borrow a business-car for free via a friend in Church only gas to pay. Strong male friends from Church and an other guy helped me unload on Monday. All this is a “WOW”-feeling for me who hasn’t a job and whom mainly just go to the gym twice a week and is home and “just being creative”. I feel blessed to have a Church with so nice and good friends that can help out in this kind of situation!
We carried it all in Monday and it look like a mountain on the middle of the floor…Luckily I can sort it out and that I have storage space in the apartment. 🙂
For the first time in my “new” apartment I finally have my table from my mom’s ant I been missing a lot to sit and be creative at, read, sewing or just write the blog-post’s. A table I in-harried from my mom’s ant in the 90’s. It’s just in-front of the window. I created a good inspiration-corner. It gives me “flash back’s” to Carrie in Sex & the City, how she sits and write her column to the news paper. It’s not near the same view but it is a window spot.
So here it is, in my not to big apartment my “creative-inspiration corner”…
I did quite much between 5 pm Saturday and 02 am Sunday morning! When I woke up Monday morning I started where I stopped. And one of the first thing I manage to do was to drag the table over the boxes in place. So nice! And in the middle of “to sort out” yesterday I had laundry Day…and it started to rain just after I had hanged my laundry out to dry in the wind… well well isn’t that life so say. 🙂
And here I am writing a blog-post on the laptop on the table. Happy feeling! But I still today have some boxes to sort out and to move away and see how much more that will go to Fretex (the 2nd hand store here in Norway).
I can only say I am blessed to live here not just because my Land Lord and Land Lady. I have been blessed in so many periods here in Norway. God is so real for me. He is a part of my Daily life and I know he provides everything in my life, both with the people I have around me and also everything that happens in my life. As I wrote higher up, I don’t have a job and I haven’t been working in the last five years and still God walk beside me in everything I do. I know that everything I have done so far has been a part of his plan for me. And God provides me with food, like dinner with friends and cloths when my finances is bad. He sorts out things in my life like I am sorting out my belongings in the boxes right now. He leads me into new social activities and groups so I can meet new people when I feel I walking around in a circle with many of my old friends. He leads me on new paths in life and what to do.
He have showed me several times during those soon nine years I’ve lived in Norway that it is here He wants me to Live and now I do not have anything left in Sweden that holds me there.
I’ll show you the creative thing I did yesterday.
