Last week on Tuesday I had a chat with a SFO after I had sent some amount of open emails to schools nearby me. A chat about being able to work temporary if permanent workers are sick. And today I received a text if I could work tomorrow and the day after.
SFO is after school activity, parents pay for it, and the pulpils can go there instead of a payed nanny.
Today I had an other appointment with another SFO and got more job 🤩🤩🙌🙌. Praise the Lord! He is really providing when I really need it 🤩🤩.
I have never been able to find a Jeans jacket with long enough sleeves or long enough in the torso lengt in my size 😔😔. So why not sew my own with my style?
That’s what I’ve started on 😊🤩
The sleeves.
How will this work? (I didn’t understand)
Just the details of the zipper.
Here I found out that the left sleeve got too long because the shoulder was to far out.
Here I needed to pick up the top seam on the left shoulder and resew 1,5cm farther in on the shoulder 🤪. But it worked and made wonder!
The only thing left now is the zipper… I need a “jacket zipper” and I want a red one, just because I can.
This last weekend was productive 😊😊. I finished the blue cocktail dress
And I got help from a friend to fix the hem on my summer-curtain dress…
And I sew the waist band after more room on the top part so I can breath…
Walking in gale towards the gym.
And I got out to the gym 🤩🤩. Walked for 20min and then on the treadmill for 10min 💪.
Went through 4 machines and then home.
And last week I started on something new – a challenge – to sew a dress from 2 pair of jeans legs (because I cut off the waist part to the orange skirt).
My challenge last week was to sew a bikini that fits my tall body. A challenge I took. And it took me six days to finish. I am pleased to finally feel good in a bikini that looks different and good on me.
Before I started.
This is the first step to find out what size I would need. A stretchy material but not good enough for swimsuit.
An old training top I haven’t used much.
An other traning top I only used few times.
Both training tops was perfect for upcycling and make the bikini buttom.
The process.
This is more for myself if I sew another 😊.
Finished bikini top.
Bikini buttom. And yes I wanted to have a higher edge infront.
Here you see I’ve used the fabric from the apricot colour top’s on both pieces.
This is the front side of the bikini buttom, just like I wanted them.
As you may know I am 6’2 and it is hard to buy clothes that actually fits my tall body! A bikini isn’t any difference. As the fashion is everything “shall be as little as possible ” well that doesn’t look good on all bodies!
And I am not super pleased with every curve I have, not uncommon for any woman around the world. Yet I have found my style and therefore I sew 😊. Exploring in different pattern that hopefully will fit me and also look good on my tall body 😊.
Hope you will be inspired by my sewing to challenge yourself 😉. Good luck! And thank you for reading my blog@
I love when I have time and energy to fix what has been laying and waiting for some time!
Fixing and repairing Jeans. May 8th.
New earnings from upcycling paper clips & safety pins with beads from the floor in the art&craft room at work.
I am thankful for work, life and sparetime! The Lord has both showing me things in life and in dreams of my future and I keep trusting him in what will come that I yet don’t know. I enjoying every moment if I have more or less energy! Those last day’s has been a mix of both and yet I am smiling because life is good and I am trying to embrace it as much as possible.
Happiness. Finally I know what colours I have 😍 on all my threads 😍
The Lord keep guiding my steps, give me inspiration to new things and ideas 😊. And even after a tough work day I have energy to be creative at home 😊. And interesting enough it feels like I have more energy to be creative now than when I had Silver 🤔 🤪 … maybe I was more allergic ti him than I thought…?
I got inspired from work where the pulpils in 7th grade going to start a upcycling project this week (week 5 of 2024). My udea started three weeks ago and I have used as much time as I have been able to use. Evenings and weekends, when I have been well, sewing together pa5ches to bigger patches. I have got so far now, that I can finally start to cut the pattern 😍🧵✂️.
Here is the pictures from the start;

Easter24
During this Easter I managed to get sewing machine oil on the just finish pants 🤪 …
…so than it was to pick up the area of the pants.
My type of Art
I have now been able to use them at work (finally) this last week. And they are my very much favourite pants! The benefits of sewing my own wardrobe is to sew clothes that fits me. With leg length of 91cm (35,82 inch) I struggle to find pants that are long enough and nit to lose in my waist.
Life has started to become less painful and I have started some new routines that helps the rest of the day to go easier 😊💕. I still say “good night” in the evenings and “I’m awake” in the mornings to Silver-boy 💕 and I think I will do that for some time.
🦋
But I have started to smile again and feel so grateful and thankful for those 8 years I got with him 💕. So many good and fun memories with him. 😊.
📚🧵
As time flies I am lucky to be able to work as a teacher in art&craft because of sickleave in in those classes. And I am working 100% at least this week (8th to 12th of April). I am responsible for the planing of the classes and motivation in the classroom. I also have the theoretical classes in art&craft too in 5th grade. And here I learn a lot myself 😊.
🍏🌳
I now know this is my future. I finally know “what I will be when I grow up”. The apple 🍏 doesn’t fall far from the tree 🌳, 😆😆. What does that mean for you, well my mother was a teacher for 40 years! I will never be able to be a teacher for that long! But the fact that I finally have figured out what I want to do, means that I will walk in my mothers footsteps of becoming a teacher. Something I have denied for many years 😆😆.
💕
I have started to smile again and life is getting easier each day 💕.
Monday 26th. It started good, after two weeks of back issues. It beame a beautiful day after the Sun came and the SFO-kids ripped of there winter jackets because of there play in the sunshine. We had BBQ after that I manage to make a BBQ fire and the kids was super hungry. They didn’t have time to wait for the real good part of the BBQ-fire ^^haha^^ I did though. I had one good hamburger and one less good ^^haha^^. But what I did, that I shouldn’t have done was sitting watching the fire, breath-in the smoke or even sit where I sat… I haven’t had such much issues breathing in a long time, but after 3 hours by the fire… omg, never again!
But the sadest, is my back! I had pain when I got home yesterday – that isn’t the surprise. No the surprise is that I had to roll out of bed this morning. The back had “locked itself”. I am as stiff as you can get I think 😦 . Had to call in sick 😦 . And here I am in my couch typing and trying t drink coffee…. and waiting on my wheat-pillow to get as cold as possible in the freezer to cool down my back. I hope my back gets as good as possible for some sewing. Because I started on a new project later yesterday evening.
A light blue stipe shirt that I bought on a 2ndhand store in mid February. Quite long on me but not long enough for what I want to use it for. Offcourse it’s not long enough, it’s a normal size for a man with shorter arms then me… But thanks to the second shirt I bought and sut off the arms on I can redesign the shirt with stripes :-).
I haven’t got much further on my *Summer dress yet, because I need to adjust it and make sure the pattern fits me and my body. And with this back that isn’t an opption right now. It just have to wait a bit.
This is my sketch and measurements.
The Yellow dress, is the one I’ll try to make.
This is the fabric, an old curtain 😊
So in the meantime I’ll do things I know I can. Yet this is my Daily life – to try to figure things out while they are resting from I am actually working with the projects with my hands I am working with them in my mind. Yet this is what I like with all my projects.
I needed a new wheat pillow, so I found this screen print I did back in 2005. Cut it as a big roseship. First I popped up the red fabric. Then I ironed it, then sewed on the rosehip and then I sewed the three layers together. At the end I filled it with wheat.
PS. You know all the things you see when you’re home and not so much after a long day at work… but when you’re home ‘sick’ from work you cant do them anyway…. that’s my home right now. It just has to wait. But thanks to the Lord, I can let it go and focus on being well again. DS.
Psycholigical sad health for months and wierd feelings towards work and the staff there ( Bore school 22-23).
Some happiness in the middle of everything. April23. And I got few new friends through the job at Bore.
A good summer 🙂 . Some walks nearby Ganddal/Sandnes. Some day’s inside but Happy.
June was okay and Aslan wanted to stay but Silver wanted to be alone….and I got allergic to Aslan 😦 .
July23 – Summer and exploring Rogaland by bus. 🙂
August was a mix of lots of deny on job’s but I stayed positive and like the flower here bright full of colors and reaching to the sun, I stayed on my feets and
filled my life with more colors.
…but sad September….
October become good 🙂with the move back to Stavanger, more jobs and more good routines. Good athmospher at work, like I really don’t want to be sick’n’home good! And walking distance!!
Walking in Faith-month! Concussion-month…. = November.
December. Snowy Winter weeks and then rain (which is the normal), a cold but also a lot of good work 🙂
I think I have had more then enough bad luck in one year! So I’ll do my very best to stay on my both feets all the way in 2024!!
Buy I have also been blessed in different ways during the Year which I am thankful for.
I spent Christmas Eve alone with my cat, but have enjoyed it! I bought two gifts to myself this year thanks to the blessing in beginning of December 🤩. One of the xmas gifts was a newer smartphone and the other was a memory foam seat pillow for my sore and often sad back. And how happy I am for it! It helps my back a lot!! I even think I might buy an extra.
With the new pillow I have today, both tryed to sew for more then 30min (and it worked) I was sewing for two hours! 😍😍. And I have almost finished my sewing projects from 2020.
I only need to sew buttons and one seam.
I am looking forward to 2024. I really do. I have plans and I’ll do my very best to keep them come true. I am curious on what the Lord has for me in 2024! I am in a good place and I am planning to stay here as long as the Lord can use me.
Have a blessed 2024 all of you who following my blog. And keep sharing the posts you like or the posts that somehow have helped you forward.
This week started good I thought… but in the afternoon Monday (11th) I got fever… I hadto go to the farmacy after work – medication, which sadly led to more fever.
Here I am home today Tuesday (12th) and will be tmrw too. I’ve watched Chicago P.D. and I am tired of that now. I am also tired but can’t fall a sleep 🤐🤬. Hungry but no extra energy 😐😔. Think I’ll be home at least tmrw and Thursday.
I got cold on my feets this last Friday and that was sadly it 🤬 . I can only pray 🙏 this fever dont stay’s in my body for 14 day’s as it has been b4. I need and want to work.
12th of December 23.
And got a blessing the day b4, and went down town and bought Winter shoes on Saturday. They are good 😊 but that didn’t help much… Annoying situation!
What do we like the best of those two? I would say IRLD! Have it happend me reasonly? No. Have I dreamt about it?Yes. This post is about IRLD. Why? Well because I have taken a break from Dating App’s and I think it will be possible to date someone I eventually meet in real life. I believe it can happend. So I will update you in this area if and when it happends. So just have patience and trust the Lord, he will guide me and you to meet our partner we want to meet.
It has taken me some more years then most people in my age, to figure out what I want to do “when I grow up” which is an expression on what you want to work as or with, for most people it happends when you are between 20-30 y.o. For me, who was 100% burned out in the age of 26, on sickleave for 2 years after and tryed to find my path in what to work with or what kind of education both in Sweden and here in Norway. During 8 years here in Norway taking courses through NAV and for the last 4 years have I actually been working in the school as a learning support teacher hasn’t always been easy. It has been a learning journey,yet I haven’t been able to work more then 80% for the last 10-15 years because of the burnout. Yet I am greatful for every job I have had, and learned from! It isn’t until now I know what I want to do. And for me it has been it’s own journey to figure this out,underestanding what the Lord have in mind. I still have some things to sort out before I can apply to the Univercity, but at least I know in which direction I am going, which I haven’t known before.
I will not let you know yet, the direction, cause some friends are following my blog and I have only told some close friends. I do wonder if my <3Mom<3 knew in which direction my life would turn, while she was still with us without her sickness or if she is happy now when she is in heaven whatching me on distance?
Anyway, every day between the 23rd to the 27th, did I work as a substitute teacher. The first week I had almost a full week! 🙂 Friday the 27th – Had I for the first time lessons by myself, no co-teacher. I was a substitute teacher for a 6th grade class in both English and Norwegian subject. It was fun, and an okay class. You know, back in the day’s when you were in school you probably tryed your limits when you had a substitute teacher and not you normal ones. Offcourse this class did that too. And here is the thing, I think I got this from my Mom, I do not tollerent much noice in a class room. I am from the generation (growing up during the 80’s and 90’s) that wants the pulpils to listen, be in the classroom also with there heads and brains and following on what I talk about so they wont ask me hundered times after when they shall do the task. Which I made clear and the boy’s who tryed to strech on the limits didn’t really work for them. that was a good feeling for me who hasn’t or isn’t a propper teacher. 🙂
I will also be a permenent on-call substitute from now on, which the management likes a lot cause they always need substitutet teachers.
Anyway, I liked to be a substitute teacher on Friday. It reminded me on when I did it back in Sweden long before I moved to Norway. I was young and the pulpils where teenagers then. I liked it then and now. A lot has happend with me during the years, yet the one thing that feels like it is the same is how much I like beeing in a classroom.
I just have to tell you about Thursday 26th. I was a co-teacher in 7th grade in art and crafts with the project “take photo’s” the first two classes we went to a place nearby where I live and after luch we went with the third class to a suburb called Lervig where Stavanger has long traditions within young creative culture such as Tou scene, various artistic expressions within performing arts, visual arts, film, music and other cultural industries. At Tou Scene did they (and I) take pictures of buildings and street art. That day I walked a lot!
Yes, and on Wednesday 25th I was in 1st grade (!). I haven’t been in the lower grades at all before Wednesday. I was so tired in my head when I got home….
For the past week I have been talking a lot to the Lord, after I was asked to come for an interveiew – a job I applyed for in early October. A 50% job in after school club. When I applied I didn’t have many day’s as a subtitute co-teacher which I have now.
On my way to the interview I talked to the Lord. Trying to find pro’s and con’s towards working there if they offered me the job. I didn’t have the peace inside as closer as I got to this school, it was like I just knew whatever I said in there I wouldn’t say yes. At the interview I answered as good as I could. I guess it went fine. I really tryed to point out thatI like myself in the middle age of the Norwegian School. And that I’ve only worked one year in the after school club. With not so good experience, which I told them about. (Norwegian School system 1st to 4th grade = lower part, 5th to 7th grade = middle part, 8th to 10th grade = high school)
Talked a bit more to the Lord on my way home, realizing I don’t want this job at all. Sent a snap to a close Christian friend, who asked my why I didn’t want it. My answer was easy. It’s the wrong age. And I know, that it is the wrong age.
I have sent an email to the school, letting them know I am not interesting. And I have Peace. Trusting the Lord in this. Walking in faith. Yet, I don’t know how much I will be working this fall, but I know the Lord will guide my steps to what he wants for me.
#hundvåg #memmories
#roaldsøy #stavanger
#bjørnøy #stavanger
The Prace from the Lord is what I lean to. Knowing I am doing the right thing 😊 .
Yet I don’t have a clue what the Lord has for me in the future and that is okay. Becauce I am walking in faith this fall.
Isn’t it tipical that when I finally find a job, a job as a substitute teacher and substitute learning assistant my back crash?! I spent time in both my bed and couch yesterday (Thursday 21st of September) and by time to go to bed it was nearly okay 🙂 but it was one thing I really needed to do. I needed to wash my hair, and that was painful!! And I kind of knew this would not benefit my back at all. But to wake up today day with even more pain… oh I get so tired of my back 😔😔🤐😡🤬 Have no words.
If it only was that I can’t go to work. But it isn’t is it? No! I need to pack, clean out things like cabinets, my fridge, bathroom cabinets etc… 🤬🤬🤬 (sorry for the emijos, but they describe how I feel.)
I am so annoyed on this life!! But I will not get depressed or think to much about it I will be thankful to life. I have what I need right now. A friend went to the grocery store for me yesterday so I have food 😊. I have a home 😊. I have a roof over my head. I have friends that care 😊❤. And a God that loves me. ✝️
To be grateful despite tiring when life doesn’t become what you hope for…
Went well. I felt like jome there speaking English 😊. I’ve done my part and now it’s “just the waiting” to see if the Lord open or close this door. I have no expectations just becauce I am now so used to get a deny. But if the Lord open up this opportunity for me I will enjoy working with those students/pulpils with special needs and in an English speaking enviroment!
If I don’t get the job I think I will have enough to do by being a subtitute teacher in the 5(!) Schools that wants me!! 😊 So now it’s up to the Lord 😉.
And I have enough things to do before the move in the end of September to even “think to much” about this interview.
Left home 09:40am, bus 09:52am towards Sandnes bus & train hub. To catch a new bus at 10:13am.
Today I’ve been exploring 😊, walked in residential areas I never been b4. I’ve taken busses I just seen in Sandnes or Stavanger bushub. Seen where, e.g. Forus Arena is located (where most major concerts for Stavanger and nearby municipalities take place). And I haven’t been stressed just smiling.
Sola municipality, 10.30am.
The rain or wind wasn’t a bad thing. If I weren’t on a bus I found shelter 😉
On a bus between Sola and Randaberg.
I did all this both becauce I have been wanting this since I moved back but also becauce I found cheap books online (via a website here in Norway where you can buy used things, a common website for the whole of Norway) for my upcoming studies which start in mid-August.
Randaberg square, not much here. 12.30 to 13pm.
When I got off the bus I knew I had to eat b4 I headed home-over.
PizzaBakeren.
PizzaBakeren (the pizza chain that started here in Rogaland) is my favorite and today it was a pizza with a thin crust.
I catched an other bus back in to Stavanger train station (13:05pm) waited maybe 20 min at the train station (13:20ish pm) and sat on the train home to Ganddal. On the train it was raining but my walk home were not 😊.
So I’ve got to see and explore and buy non-fiction / subject literature during 4.5 hours 😊😊😊 .
So I went to my candycstore – selfmade – and bought what I needed and asked about the pattern. How to understand it and how it actually is gonna look, how to cut it right and then what kind of fabric I need under.
A lady helped me with all my questions 😊😊
And when I got home I started to cut new pieces and for one piece I had sew two together a seam you only notice when you know it’s there 😊
And I’ve overlocked all the pieces tonight.
Tomorrow comes the big challenge to sew all pieces together 🤪 a challenge I am both looking forward to and are totally scarred for.
But here are tonight’s picture after the folding the fabric right, cutting of new pieces, overlocking.
So we had Aslan (Gardfiled) on trial for 3 day’s in April. After those 3 day’s he stayed. Silver and Aslan (becuase he is orange and walks like a lion) become friends. they have there moments where Aslan is trying to show Silver he wants to be in charge but Silver answers with a small fight and winning by Aslan laying down on the floor “I give up for now”.
Time flies by and Aslan has now been with us for almost 4 months (!) He has becoming an indoor cat and accepting it, he were more of an outdoor cat before we got him. He will be able to learn to walk in leach just like Silver does, but his first issue was to let me put a “neckless” on him that he wouldn’t take off as fast as it got on ^^haha^^. He has been learning a lot this time here and he is young (only 3 years old) so he will be able to learn even more.
The nxt thing for him was to learn is to not eat up all the food, cause Silver also need food! He or both get less food now, I do have one bowl with dry food out all day but more important is it’s always water.
They are friends most the time but in the between they fight, Aslan still trying to set Silver to not be the oldest, the boss etc. But Aslan is the younger will always be more playful, have more energy, talk more because it’s his personality. Silver trying his best to adapt too, he was the only cat for 4 years, it’s not easy for him neither.
We all do our best to adapt ❤ the life we have. I couldn’t leave Aslan to not be able to live a life with us therefor I let him stay. He was probobly a Corona-Cat, left to himself to survive. He has his issues, but overall he is a very cozy cat. Loves to sleep in my bed, next to my back. He wakes me up in the morning, if he can decide 05am… But yet he has managed to go to bed my time approxy 11pm, and that I do pull down the blinds for the night (first of all for Silver so he wouldn’t start to play around 03am and wake me up) but also now with 2 cat’s.
This is a short update about life. Lot’s have happend yet no job. But I trust the Lord for the right job and will not stress about it. I have made up my mind to relax, look for job every second day and the other day’s I’ll have summer Holiday. I will explore my county, my local area, Islands in Rogaland (county) or just sit home and sew. Learn new patterns, new types to sew.
Butterflies stands for changes. And I believe a good change will come, that the Lord are providing me a new good change. And I can for sure say He is works with my patience in this specific area!
Christian music – what I wish I would listen to it more often!! How much strength it is there! In my house the radio stands on for my cat’s, but this Summer I have to remind myself to listen to Christian music more!!
Tomorrow (8th of July) I am planing to go for a day trip to one Island called Kvitsøy, cause the weather should be nice and to windy for an island. Cross fingers here. And if I have more energy I’ll sew if not I’ll be sketching and paint clothes – something I figured out helps my brain – I literally enjoying it.
…which has been one of my biggest struggles for a long time. I love when I have a good week, enjoying it a lot and know how good it is for my body. 😊💪…
And it’s not a New Year resolution! I just trying to do what I need – exercise.
The app I have helps a lot 😊😊 and this last week I mostly done reverse crunch 10*3, butt bridge 10*3 and arms. 😊💪.
What happend in 2022? Well a lot! But I won’t write about it here, if you are curious, well read my blog.
New Years eve 2022 will be most like most other new year eve’s at home with my cat that are afraid of rakets and fireworks.
2 hours b4 midnight (10pm, 22).
I wish for a good, interesting, fun year of 2023 and that I managed to do my “to-do-list” for my body and that the Lord continue to guide my steps wherever that leads me. I am agaist those New Year’s resolutionslists. I have never managed to hold on to the kind of list and I have never understood why they are so popular. I am looking 4ward a New Year and what will come with it. Up’s and down’s. Time when I don’t understand or doubt, time when life is good and fun and everything in between. Becauce I trust the Lord.
Let’s celebrate 2023 all the way and not forget what we got from the Lord in life to actually be here!
Let’s enjoy life no matter how it turn.
Let’s stay positive through rough times 💝.
Let’s enjoy the small things in life different then other things in life.
Be happy, Trust the Lord, Walk with Him not away, Enjoy Life, Have fun, be sad when you need or cry, Sing worship to Him who given you a New life, be Creative, drink Coffee if that helps you to stay focused 😉, Love life and those you have around you, be Thankful, get angry if it helps you to move on but don’t stay angry, Enjoy the small things in life, do things you never tryed b4, keep calm, Laugh and have fun with friends, Live, dream big, show others you care, be inspired by others & inspire, Bake if it makes you happy, be with those you get energy from, Be Blessed!
Remember to enjoy this dayno matter if you are with friends, family or alone at home or away! It’s a day for us all no matter where we are in life! Jesus was born for you.
I am home alone, almost, my cat is with with me…
Listening to the sound from the TV service..
I am watching the early morning Christmas Day service, which in Sweden is called ‘julotta’ and in Norway called ‘julemesse’. This was something I gladly did every year as an aduldt with my mom, and now 2 years after ahe died I do it with thoughts of her ❤Mom❤.
With one of my favorite songs during Christmas “Holly night” 💜. I need to hear it at least once on Christmas Day.
Christmas is often said “to spend time with family & friends” probably becauce it’s a long tradition and what most people are used to do. But my question is; why can’t you or me be alone in this time and celebert Christmas? I like being alone at home and just be, doing nothing or being creative. No stress, no must’s, just me 😊. I don’t say I don’t like being with friends during Christmas. I like the mix of both. Yet, I think it’s interesting how most people thinks ” you must/should not be alone during Christmas “. Why?
I am curious about what you think, please write your thoghts if you like this post.
I have to say I have been like this since I were a child, so those thought are not new. I don’t say I don’t miss having “my own family and spend time with them” even during Christmas or any other Holiday. I guess I am saying I like my Quality time to do what I like 😉. Anyway, I am never alone cauce the Lord is always with me no matter where I am or what I do 😊✝️.
Maybe you work this weekend, then you are with co-workers, not alone all the time yet you will have time to be alone and / or a chose to be with your loved once. Maybe you don’t have a family and spend most of your days alone and need to spend time with friends this weekend, then do! As long as you enjoy it ❤. We all have different life and we all have different needs in life and it’s okay 😉.
So back to the first line of this post remember to enjoy this time of Christmas alone or with friends or family. Do it your way and Enjoy it.
The 2nd date was nice too. I wont give you details becauce that’s private. But I can tell you, we watched a movie he liked and was too predictable action for me… We thought we liked the same kind of movies, now I’m not so sure anymore 🤣🤣.
Here and now the day after the date evening, I’m not so sure we gonna go on a 3rd date. I don’t have a good feeling that we actually have so much in commen… but hey! Two dates with the same man is more then I have had in a year 😊😊. And I am actually quite okay with that! 😊
I’ll trust the Lord and my inner voice that telling me “maybe not more dates with him, we might not look for the same things in life”. And that is fine for me!
I have had two fun dates and I’m very okay with that. 😊.
To know when enough is enough with the one you date. And focus on other fun things. Now it’s time to focus on Advent 😊🤩 . Maybe I go on other dates maybe not until after New Year. Who knows?!? I don’t and I am fibd with that! 😉.
Home’n’sick. With fever and coughing 😔🤒. A never ending coughing 😔. I usally don’t share about this becauce I don’t think it’s important. But I thought, this blog is about my Daily life. And being home and sick is Daily life when it’s been more then two day’s.
I get Exhauseted just to go from my bedrom to the bathroom 🤪😥 but I will not give up!! And checking my mail today (October 27th) I had got an encouraged mail. Clicked on the link to the blog.

Just what I needed to read and I hope it encouraged you too! ❤🙏✝️
Right now I am just frustrated and annoyed…You know how life can “kick your as” sometimes… My is like that today. Got very annoyed already yesterday cause of a man I’ve started to talk to on a dating app and than on messanger on Friday evening. He very keen on a date and than 24 hours later no respond at all. Why and how come? Well I don’t know. Have no clue. Therefor am I very annoyed and frustrated. An I thought if I wrote about it (and maybe someone have been where I am could give me any kind of feedback) I would feel a bit better. Because thats how I work.
And I have to say it already helps. 🙂 Just typing it helps. But offcourse if you give me any feedback I would love that too!! 🙂
Why is it so that most people on a dating app are so not polite? Just because one write something the other person you write to, doesn’t like what you wrote, than it’s fine to totally ignore that and in worst case block that person? Since when is that polite? And if you met in real life??? I just don’t understand!!
Just because you are online, does that mean you can be rude to everyone?? It’s not just on a dating app, it’s others blog or other type of social media. Since when??
I doubt you would do that if you met the person. I wouldn’t. Am I trying to be “to polite” online? Am I rased in an other world, I am not rased by to beliving Christian folks so I can’t say my childhood is or was very different than most.
How do you think about this? Do you have any experience? And what would you do?
Anyway, I got an other date, today. And I am looking forward that. We have planned to just walk along the seaside and get to know each other. I might tell you how it went after. It’s not just about to date someone to see if you fit each other for me, some of them is worth a date just to get to know the other person. Maybe I get a new friend I can hang with who knows?
I will not say “offcourse I am looking for a man for the rest of my life” because I can’t say “for the rest of my life” cause I don’t know how long I live or if I’ll meet the “right person” now or later. I think most people should use other words even if I totally understand why people use the term. I have since I moved to Norway wanted to meet a man, yet haven’t that happend. I have been living here for fifteen years in September. Maybe I haven’t been ready as a person. Whatever reason I haven’t met the “right man” yet I guess is only the lord who knows. And I have come to peace with that fact, that whenever I do meet this man, I will be ready both as who I am and as a Christian. Wheneever it happends life will be good, I will be in a good place and mostly I am not stressed about it as I actually have been… And annoying family members has been more stressed. The different between me and my family is that they have been wanting a “good man who can give me kids” without asking me if thats what I wanted. They have just been assuming that’s what I wanted because “I am a christian” or because “I am a woman”. Which sucks!! I have since I don’t know, been wanted to meet a man with kids from before and not get my own once for years and years.
I am just whishing for a man with kids from an other relationship, sorry if you don’t like that. But the Lord have given me peace so I live with that.
Some of my bonus family totally undestands me others don’t and that’s okay. I live my life.
Here comes a small taste from this week so far. Today I ‘m home from work with a bad heavy headache caised by the coming weather change 😔😔😔. And the only thing I can do is to knitt 🧶 not to much for my head.
1st picture; today 24th. 2nd; last night Silver was cl7mbing the wardrobe. 3rd & 4th;we walked yesterday after I was dobe working in a good temperature of +10°C. 5th & 6th; Spring signs. 7th; yesterday’s temperature from the morning. 8th; Mo4ning light.
Sunday, March 20.
Saturday, March 19th evening walk back from the store.
I started on a project in November 2021, which I won’t let you know more than this. So why am I writing about it you might ask yourself.
Well the reason is that, it’s not a sewing project, it’s something totally different, take more energy and time after work.
And can be the reason to why I won’t post here as often as I have done until now.
And it might make my head more tired than normal but when the project is totally finished I will let you know both in txt and pictures.
An other thing is that I will start to go to the gym again, hopefully this weekend. 🙂. Even thought I have been doing some exersices at home for the last two months, but missing some of the things I have access to in the gym. And now when my back is okay I’ll go.
I have had a okay rythm to listen to the bible app on the weeldays, slide out of it during the weekend 😔. And after the Winter break I slide a bit to much 😔😔 but I dp what I managed.
On my way home today (Tuesday) I needed music to stay awake on the bus ride 🤪🤪 so I choosed 🎧🎶 Kirk Franklin 🎶🎧.
In today’s devtional Lord, give me successtoday. The text is about when the Lord talks about success not in the way of popularity as many today think is the same thing.
No, in the old testament, it talks about success as something good. And the word success occurs at least five times in the old testament. Every time as something positive.
Success is a blessing from the Lord.
Psalm 8, verses 1-9; Praise God for the success of his creation. In our galaxy there are probably over a hundred-billion stars like our sun. Our galaxy is one of a hundred-billion galaxies. When we consider the vastness of the universe it is easy to feel small and insignificant. “Davis starts and ends this psalm by worshipping God for the success of his creation. As he stares into the night sky, David says, I look up at your marco-skies, dark and enormous, your handmade sky-jewellary. Moon and stars mounted in their setting. Then I look at my micro-self and wonder, Why do you bother with us? Why take a second look our way? David marvels at the fact that a human begins are the pinnacle of God’s creation – a masterpiece – made in his image. …”
Reading and listen to this text, gave me a deeper knowledge of those words. I started to listen to this devotional on my way out of my house on Saturday January 15th, but I didn’t end it. I got distracted but started it again today, Sunday 16th. And While I listen on the audio on my phone (cellphone) I am reading/following through the text on my laptop and can reflect. What does it say? What is the point on the text?
Jesus redefines success. If you want to know what true success looks like, study the model of Jesus – his vision, life and teaching. It is the kind of success that is not universally recognised as such.
In the word and action Jesus ushered in the kingdom of God, bringing the reality of God’s rule and presence into the lives of those around him. – this is what Jesus-style-success looks like.
*To achieve Jesus-stule success you, like the twelve disciples, need to model your life on Jesus and share his vision. 1, The need is urgent.2, The motive is love. 3, The trigger is prayer. 4, The potential is vast. Pray for success in guidance. Abraham’s servant wasn’t embarrassed to pray for success. No, He prayed a prayer that we can all emulate; ‘ Give me success today.’ *
We shouldn’t be embarrassed to pray for success in our lifes! If, as we can read in the old testamnet, God has given us success. We should ask for it. Success is a blessing from God. Why should we then be embarrassed? We should not think like the World thinks about the word but Thank God for what he ment it to be!
You know, I’ve learned so far those few (15) day listening to the script that if I don’t implement the Word into my life as I should I feel some kind of emptiness, but not like a hole no more like I have been missing out of something really good for a long time. It has occurred to me that I can do a lot of things and feel happiness. And I know “I’ve sholud have read the Bible as my Christian intake of food” but haven’t until this year… And now I start to see what friends has been trying to tell me. I know I know, “you want to say I told you so” and that is okay. At least I understand! I wont feel the presence from the Lord in the same way if I don’t read or listen to the script. I have got an eye-opener for this 🙂 . It took maybe a bit longer time then needed, but hey! I got it.
Maybe I needed this time in my life to understand God’s way and part in my life as an Christian. I don’t know. But here I am and I understand things 🙂 . And for me this bible app and blog kind of goes hand-in-hand. It might be an other part of how Jesus wants me to share my struggles as a Christian some day’s, to share with others that are struggling as Christians how to get through a day, a week a mounth or ever a year. I would be surprised if I am the only one that have those struggles in my life! The Lord has been challenge me with this blog for the last 4-5 years. And I believe this is an other part of sharing my life, struggles, happiness with you all. His way of using me the way He gave me the gift of writing. ❤
…or He just wants to use me showing you that everyone has there own time to figure stuff out. ^^haha^^. Anyway. Here I am sharing my thoughts with you about a text I never read before or got inputs I never heard before. It’s like all the preaching I have heard isn’t even close to this. And I am happy I did listen even to this devonational!
I do hope you got something out of both my thougts and from the text in the devotional. ❤
