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.

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.

Cellphone, 2 books and family time 4 X-mas.

Before I catched the train I started my traveling with a good cup of americano from Esspresso House in Lysaker.  I’m in my way to Sør-Trøndelag for Christmas. First time ever and I’ve lived in Norway for a bit more then ten years.. funny how it can be. 

I took the train from Oslo to Hamar and shifted there to the next. I knew it would be a lot of people but it was like a surprise it was so many from Oslo that traveling the same way as me.

(I had to do something about my hair and this is the result)  But here I am. On the train. Only my cellphone and books with me. I will not be on Facebook at all for five days and I am looking forward that. To spend time with family or go for a walk in the snow. Tired as normal when I get on a train.. Normally I fell a sleep just after the ticked is checked but not this time. Maybe because I’m blogging.. but I could easy fall a sleep! Anyway.. after five and a half hours of traveling by train I’ll see my older brother which I have not seen for two years (!) Live in his home and enjoy whatever he is doing and also be with my second brother and his family when they are coming tomorrow the 22nd of December. 

We are all (exept my brother who lives there) traveling away from home to celebrate Christmas. It was two tears ago since last time (!) or maybe even three years (even wers!) Anyhow, I will enjoy spending time with my family. 

I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas!! And I hope you will have a good time off work, time of Joy with your family or close friends. And enjoy Christmas with all it comes with!

I will probably blog about Christmas in Haltdalen, Trøndelag so you also can see and made get your curiousity of traveling in Norway and Trøndelag.

Grace and new friendship. 

God has humor! 

I thought I just said yes to a random Couchsurfer for this weekend, but he showed me wrong. He sended a girl who needed to here some of my life experience and about my path with God to see positive on her adventure here in Norway. 

She came more then less directly from her brothers Wedding on Friday in Polen to me in Oslo on Saturday (yesterday). Tied and only wanted to rest which she did. 😉 

We had many good conversations about life, faith and how to see what and when God is talking. 😊  We watched tve movie War Room (which I think everyone should see no matter what you believe.) It has humor, lots of things to learn if life and if you are a believer, many good advice of how to grow with God. She told me after the movie that she needed to watch it, that it was good for her. So glad I were to hear that. 

Grace was the word that we talked a lot about those hours she stayed with me and how grace can be a part if our life in different situations of life.   How God has showed me grace in all kind of life-situation and how God has provide me with what I need or how God have closed or open doors in my life when I trust God.  How she can trust God.  How to push emotions aside when the emotions turns into fear instead of the oppisite – happiness or peace in the specific situation there and then.  When we come with high expections from what God can do, he do provide our life just the He lnows we need it. 
Grace, love, trust and faith is some of the things he has given us to have in our relationship with him.
