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!
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 itsomething 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…
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.
… 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. 🙏 ✝️.
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?
