How do you prepare your heart and life for Christmas and Jesus?

I went to my house church yesterday (9th of December) and the topic of the theme was ‘ how do you prepare your heart & life for Christmas and Jesus?’

One of the leader read a text about a family here in Norway and how they got in contact with an other family in Canada. How They prepared for this family to visit them. How they lesernes about their culture, country etc. How the cleaned theire home, garden and how this effects their thinking of what they prepared for Christmas and Jesus.

And than asked us, we who were gathered, what we do? Are we just focusing on the outside, the lighting on the house or in the garden? Are we just focusing on the gifts or are we taking it in into our relationship with whom who saved us?

As a singel lady without family or kids I don’t have the same type of traditions as when I grow up. Some of them I do miss other of them I feel are hard to do.

But, this year I am trying something new for me. I hanged the Christmas curtains up to the first of Advent. During the next week I got my Christmas tree up and few day’s later the ornaments. I haven’t found the lights yet…

I am working on the Christmas gifts, for my family, that I thought I could send to my brother here in Norway but now I don’t know if the rest of the family will be able to travel over the border…

I need to buy some red candle lights. I am playing Christmas music every day this December and trying to invite the Lord after work at home and if I forget I at least pray for the next day and say thanks for the day I’ve had before I fall a sleep.

I have to say I haven’t been focusing as much as probably should to Him who saved me… I think I lost it on the way. The way of being a singel, the way when life means I haven’t been able to visit my family over Chistmast for some years now. 😔. Or just the fact that we lost mother into demensia over ten years ago… The one in my family who was excited to decorate for this season. ❤.

I would love to have a family that I could call mine, it doesn’t mean the kids are mine. But to have a boyfriend, a hubby someone to share life with, Christmas and everything else with! I know it will come. But yet, that’s my Christmas wish and have been for the last ten or more years…

Is it easier when you have someone to share Christmas with?

What are you doing?

How do you prepare?

I am blessed to be able to celebrate Chistmast Eve and Christmas Day with some families from my house church ❤🎄❤🎄 ❤ something I am looking forward to! And with that I will try harder to invite the Lord into my home and whatever I do before Christmas.

July 23rd, trying something new.

Hi guys ,you who following my blog. This is me. Not just text from me in person but actually few shorter videos. 😉

I want to share something with you in an other way this time.

High level of frustration…

But just the fact of sharing this with you all, the frustration is almost gone. 😊

Now I am more annoyed.

How is this related to my Christian life? Well it’s the daily life experience to deal with things in the same time talk to the Lord about it. Don’t let it sink in so it’s hurting you.

You still have the chance to recive peace in your mind before you do something stupid. I can still believe the Lord will help me and take the frustration away from my soul, brain and thoughts. 🙏.

I am not aloud to post more videos 😭 so I’ll just type what I want share with you all.

I am thankful for being a Christian becauce I can then just talk out loud my thoughts to the Lord. And knowing he listening. And that freedom is huge! Knowing He will take care of my feelings no matter what I feel. 😊. And I will do my best to have a great weekend and not just ” survive ” the weekend.

I am letting Him in to my heart, brain and soul to clean it. And knowing He still loves me and that He wants the best for me is good enough.

So what my life brings on right now is bigger challenges than I thought I needed. But it’s okay becauce I trust the Lord.

Thank you for your prayers. 🙏.

❤ to you all.

And remember to believe ✝️.

I needed the panic to keep going & recive Peace & Trust the Lord.

Sorting things, closest, packing and what will I bring or give away to a 2nd hand store? Lots of things to go through. In this move, I will only bring what I need.

I had my panic, and I think I needed it to be able to change focus and keep applying.

I Trust the Lord again and I have been listening to worship since. 😊😊😊😊 every DAY to & from work. 💗.

And today everything is to sort out, packing, shopping for regular things in the daily life. Today is just things I need to to. I will not prio janitor tasks.

Just fill me with the Lord.

I recived this profetic words on Tuesday: ” Do not be afraid or back down. God is with you. “

Still living on it. 😊😊😊 and today is it Saturday.

You never know how the Lord is working just that He do.

My resignation and janitor termination.

Today it happens, April 30, I submit my resignation from being a janitor and termination of janitor residence. I have three month to get a new job, new home, finish this job and move.

100% walk in trusting the Lord for the challenge for next season in life.

100% walk in trust isn’t easy! It self is a challenge!! But I can’t say no when he challenges me. I am not built that way.

And, this is the way He, the Lord, has built my Faith within Him. So,do it 100% or not. And when ” not ” isn’t for me… Yes you know the answer. 😉.

I have so far only applyed to jobs I really want and can be challenge in. And so far not more than seven applications are out….do hope for 1, more jobs to apply for or 2, that one of those seven employers will call me and tell me they want me for an interview.

April Challenge

Or do you want to stand on the same place becauce it bruings comfort? That’s how I felt when I asked the Lord about this journey.

Yesterday (April 13) I had a chat with God, said that I haven’t found a job of interest in Trøndelag county only in Rogaland county. Therefore, I focus on continuing apply for a job there. & that God will show me what job it will be.

Tonight (nigth between April 13 & 14) I dreamed that I had 2 interviews on Teams or Zoom. 😉
& I have peace. 😊.
So it seems like it becomes Rogaland 😉 on me.

No matter if I have confedence or not in this He will be there with me!

He will help me.

He is my compass, GPS, life.

It is both scary and like an adventure. 🤪😍

I want to be able to live closer ti the sea on the west coast of Norway. 😍.

I just have this smile in my face and the peace og this is the next step.

I don’t have a clue of the future but I am trusting my peace I have. I have made up my mind. Focusing on one area geografic is enough. I just now He helps me hold on to the road or path that will lead my steps to the job that is ment for me. 😊.

He, the Lord will guide my steps and open up the right door. It’s hard some day’s to stay on track. But He guides me in all areas in my life.

I have to trust for both a new home will show up where my cat also can live, will be cheap enough for this year and the years a head and the right new job.

I am moving back to the county, the only place in Norway, I felt at home. The area I have been missing for the last ten years… The area I have told friends I want back to “one day”. That day is getting closer 🤩🤩🤩 every day 😍😍 ✝️.

A new opportunity, a new chance.

And this weekend (23rd – 25th) I have written two applications and need to write a third (!)🤪🤪.

This is my new life at the moment. Hectic but I choose it. On top of this, I was substitute for two teachers this last week at work on top of my regular hours 🤪🤪 but fun!!

Open up the Channel.

Open up the Channel to God. Don’t hassitate to do it some day’s or some hours. The Lord doesn’t work that way. Here I am, was eating while God started this post with me and He gave me those words.

Maybe this post will be even more relevante now a year after the big lockdown in many countries around the world. Then when the Lord gave me inspiration in January this year.

To encourage you, to open up the Channel doesn’t happend when you want but when the Lord has something he wants to get out there among all of you. This encouragement happends to you who need a push in the right direction, to you who need to be encourage, who maybe need more of Him or just you are in a situation where you don’t know or understand how to hear His voice.

Maybe extra unencourage with all those mutations we do have around us in March 2021.

In today’s society is it easy to think “I’ll do it later”. And sadly this is also many who do when it comes to God too. But to put God on hold isn’t very good. He will still be there no matter if you “shut him off” or stayed “tuned” with him.

So, where are you?

Do you listen?

Maybe HE wanted you to be connected when you took the break.

Do you know which wave you are on to reach the frequency God is on?

Did you close the door? Have you turned off the radio or closing the bible and maybe even stopped to pray?

The Lord is waiting on you to open up your channel, get on your frequency and be “on air” with Him.

I have to say I still struggle with the reading but my channel is open to the Lord. I talk to the Lord every day. I pray and give thanks in the evening. I catch up with other Christians when it’s possible. I listen to worships and podcast’s both home and on my way to work. And becauce of this, I can feel how He is guiding me step by step towards what he wants. To be open for what He wants.

I have been given peace for 2021.

Okay I am gonna try to think about all things that has happend since last blog. And see if I can maybe encourage someone or however this blog ends up as.

And yes, I ended the thing with the guy in november 2020, jumped with faith into an other app of dating-opportunities in mid December. 🤪😂🤩 and with all new Corona measures and rules 🤪.

January came and past too fast. School started, still Corona but now with the two new mutations… from UK and the other from Africa.

Here in Norway we still have had the Schools open for the students up to age 19 more than less. Which means I go to work ever Monday to Friday. I travel by region bus. One of them starts in Oslo, crossing the community border into my community. Which means that it is potensial more Corona bugs traveling my way to work. ☹.

We have had a quite cold Winter with lots of snow negative 19°C, but also 3 day’s of rain and positive degrees ☹ where the snow dicapared some places like where I live. I did managed to make a snow angel just before the rain.

February came with more Winter. Back to negative degrees. 😍. The coldest has been negative 17°C I think.

I have been given peace from the Lord that I will apply for a new job (that’s starts in the autumn), after my principal said that they do not know if they can keep me. As I only have an extended one-year contract. Thank you Lord for peace.

So now I am back in a situation to search for a job, the different part is I have peace about it. Like it’s gonna be a good period of applying. I know and trust the Lord in this. Whatever door He will open for me will be good, and I will be able to get even more experence in this field.

I have also recived peace to not apply for a University.

About my future hubby, I recived peace to not stress ” he, the hubby, will come when it’s time “. 😍. I am so greatful for those things! The Lord is really showing me step by step what is on it’s way. And to fully trust that He knows what is the right thing or time will be worth the waiting on all levels!

I am now typing this in my bed, the night into Wednesday 24th of February, 01am… after a great day with friends. Where I have helped them with some practical things. Including tools 🔨🔧. 😍😍. I am cleaning my brain so it will be easier to sleep. And hoping that someone of all of you who following my blog will be touch by the Lord through my post.

It’s the Winter break and I have had two good day’s of sewing and hoping to finish up my ” 12 par of jeans project ” I started on in mid January.

Happiness and energyboost is the sewing for me.

With love to the all of you. And hoping the Lord will speak to everyone of you often this year.

Be thankful over what you have.

09am, December 23, 16 hours to Christmas eve.

We should all be thankful over what we have, this Christmas. What ever we have or will be gifted. The Lord is bigger than us and will be providing us with what we need.

If it is to be creative or that someone are creative for us. Have Faith in this pandemic can be harder for us all Yet the Lord is bigger than us and will give us just what we need.

To do it ” my way ” or the Lords way ? Are you still waiting on what the Lord gonna say? Than talk to Him and trust Him and He will answer you.

✝️ ❤

I can’t say how the Lord will or when He will answer you, I can tell you that He will if you trust Him.

Your life might be a mess or you don’t experence the Lord close enough, Yet, He is with you. And maybe feels like those words are just are words without meaning, but, you try to believe them and they might touch you. Maybe you need to read it twice or loud. Yet, the Lord wants to have a bigger space in your life.

Let Him in, in to your life. Let Him in to your Heart. Let Him be a part of You.

He is the Light in our Darkness. He is the creative inspiration to our creativity. He is with US when everything feels even harder. He Wants to Walk with You.

He is Our Light. Our Path.

My experence is that, if I don’t trust Him to Walk with me or that He is the creative inspiration in my life, my life would be boring. If I don’t talk to Him, He will not answering me. If I don’t have Faith in is Power and Love how will I feel any of it? I would not. My life would be boring, sad, I would start to be bitter the opposite of what I want and need in my life.

With those words, not just from me but also as a greeting from the Lord while I was going this, hets through my thoughts inspired me I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

And remember, the words in the picture below.

Love you Mom and will always do. ❤.

My mothers last day in life, has past.

Mom became 80 years old the 17th of November this year. ❤.

On Wednesday the 18th of November I called the head nurse, at mom’s home for the last 6 or 7 years, to check with her what was going on becauce I recived a wierd text message from our dad.

She answered that the function of swallowing food had dissapared. One step closer to not be here on earth with us. A step in the process of the end of demensia. Which was the first day without food and water for mom. 😢.

A sickness she got approxy 13,5 years ago. The same year I moved to Norway…

On Saturday the 21st I phoned mom’s home at 7.30pm and everything was ‘ normal ‘ which doesn’t say much when you as a family member don’t know much of the end of this sickness…

Monday the 23rd was okay. She was breathing normal, she was still piing. Which means some of the organs was still working. 😊.

Tuesday the 24th, mom or her body was starting to show symptoms that the end was getting even closer. Restlessness in the body and coughing efforts were worse. So then she got a syringe against it. And it made her calm. ❤.

Wednesday 25th was okay stable. Not much of a changed. ❤. Dad went to visit her in the afternoon.

Thursday 26th did not start well. 😢. For none of us. My brother T had phoned early in the morning and her breath was changed during the night. 😢😢😢.

Thursday 26 07:42am did I recive the first message. Glad I was awake. Preparing for work and eating breakfast. I became sad and tankful knowing ‘this is the very end’. I went to work and on the bus I called the head nurse to hear what the facts was there and than.

She told me Mom could stop Breathe at lunchtime or later that day. Hard to say. I told her that my brother T was on his way up to Mom. 08.45am ish. I came to work a bit sad inside. Had my classes with the students I normally have on Thursday.

A close friend of mine texted me during class telling me I should call my brother asking him to hold the phone close to mom’s ear and give her my last greeting to her for the last time. And I did, in my lunch break. Glad I did. ❤.

This was when the tears came.

A reviled momemt of tears and love to Mom. A moment of realizing that from now are just waiting, stay in touch with each other. A moment of feeling alone. A moment of where the only thing I wanted was a physical hug from anyone. A moment where I wished I wasn’t singel.

Trying to eat lunch was easier said than done. And I didn’t managed to have the class I was supose to have. Gave the information to the student on what to do and I tryed to pull myself together, stop the tears and preparing me for the last one and a half hour of assistent. Which I managed. And such a boost for me.

On the bus way home I got a message from my brother 4.56pm “shorter breathing”. 😢😢😢. This was next step in the process.

We siblings was online on Messenger between 4pm to 6pm. Following mom’s breathing process to the very end. She stopp her breathing 6pm on the clock. 😭❤.

She is now in Heaven 😊 with no more pain and no more sickness ❤.

And December 11, will we all be in Sweden for the funeral. 🌹. We will be able to say Good Bye in an other way. 🌹. Grieve in our own way. 🌹. Let the tears flow. 🌹. And just be and maybe feel close to her.

I know she is in heaven. She is in a place she has talked about many times.

She was a believer.

She was saved.

One of few favorite flowers Mom had. November cactus.

I started my grieving process around Mom’s 75th Birthday in 2015, knowing she would not become better. And two years later was the last time I talked to her on the phone becauce she did not recognize my voice anymore. 🥺. I have had peace since. Knowing she would end up with the angels in heaven with the Lord. ❤.

It feels wrong to say ” I am find ” but I am. I am not in the first grieving process I am some steps ahead. I will always miss her. But we did not live close for the last 13years… But we had a bond. After the Summer I had turned 16, we had a figth and cleanced the air and got a stronger bond. A bond of love and faith. And we both walked a lot after work and becauce of distance between us, we talked ” to each other ” as the other person was a part of the walk. And I am going to continue that. 😉😊❤.

Encourage greeting.

Feelings.

How often do you trust your feelings before you trust the Lord? When it comes to listen to His voice, knowing his voice or obey Him?

How often do you trust your feelings and not believe it is the Lord speaking to you and no it’s not your own thoughts?

Is it like this in all your things in life, that you doubt on the Faith you took you become one of the Lords 🐑🐑? When you received Jesus into your life, you where probably eager to do your best, be the best Christian and then later life and duties came… where are you now in your Faith?

Faith. Is it not as big as it was before? Feel. Do you prioritize your feelings before in other things in life and don’t understand how the Lord can be a part of it? Or are you where you think that Jesus has forgotten you? He will never forget you! And He is closer than you think! He draws himself closer to us when we feel like he is far far away.

Look up, Talk to Him like is in the room or walking beside you to work, or is in the car with you. Talk to Him as He really is your best friend! Have faith in what He can do! Listen to His voice. Trust what He has started in you.

He gave us feelings to feel but He also gave us trust to trust. ✝️. To trust Him when we need it at most. ❤. And to love him no matter what. And to talk/ pray to him whenever we need. 🙏.

No matter where you are in your spiritual life with the Lord He loves you and will never ever leave you, becauce you are His Child.

Words I recived for you who feel you struggling in your faith.

Corona/ Convid-19

How to stay positive and have faith that I did not have/ got the virus. No matter how many have asked me or friends who has prayed. I just knew I only have fever and probably some kind of infection in the system.

I have trusted and believed that I only have an infection in the system.

Monday this week, the 14th, when I got home after work I started to sneez. A very normal sign on a cold. And it is the time now especially for all of us who works in Schools. So I sneezed and texted my leader asking if I should stay home becauce of the roles here in Norway about Convid-19/Corona & working in a school.

I woke up with fever the next morning and stayed home. I phoned the Corona place in my community and got an home-appointment which means a nurce comes home to you, take the scary test and than you just have to wait. If you work in the School they make a prio to give you the result in 1-2 days other people has to wait 2-4 days.

I took the test on Thursday, still just fever. Starting recive more energy 🙌 moved my couch on Wednesday evening from one wall to infront of a shelf with the view of looking out my big windows.

A lovely view! Any time of the DAY. Friday came, I got even more energy, all glory to the Lord, made dinner. Homemade dinner first time this week 😊😊 and later on Friday I even made pai 🙌🙌. So, I have been home all week. With fever nothing else. No other symptoms 🙌🙌. Getting stronger each day.

I log in to the site online for health, here in Norway we have a good health system, checking for a result nothing there at 09.10am or at 2pm. So I thought okay I’ll just check it before I go to bed. Which I did, and there it was. Negative/not detected 🙌😊🙌

Thank you Lord for once again care for me and my life and blessing me with a negative result on such a bad virus. I am also very happy that it is 8 month since last time I had fever. Even here is the Lord watching over my body and imunesystem. (For you who reasonly started to follow my blog, I have had so many years of bad immune system where I could get a cold and have fever up to 16 days in a row. )

And during those day’s at home have I forced myself to ” have enough energy ” to do something with my hair. I was So tired on my bad hair I did this on Wednesday…

I might not be perfect but I am not perfect so I live with it. 😉

Last thing, today Saturday my goal is a shower and fresh air and a short walk with my cat Silver. He has been so keen to go out and he has had such good patience!! 🐈🥰🐈 and now first of all Coffee & breakfast. 😉

Lord help me write.

You know when you want to say something to someone you care for and don’t find the right words?!

Well I had that moment today.

So I said, Lord help me write the words for this someone. And the words came. Not everything at once as normal for me when I ask the Lord. 🙂

In about one and a half hours later,I had written down all the words God gave me. Words I wouldn’t used. Words that very much was right on the spot. Words that describes a picture, which is the way the Lord uses me to give ferinds a greeting from the Lord when I pray for them.

Those words from the Lord to this someone went the same way. Like a greeting from the Lord to me trusting that the Lord knows the best for both me and this someone. The Lord just know how to show me, how ask a simple question and He is answering. Not the way I thought but in the way I needed to just let the words come from Him. ❤

So whenever you don’t have the words ask the Lord and He will give you them.

To jump – different.

To jump – different, for me doesn’t necassary mean to actually jump. In one way it is a jump. Emotional. Jump.

To dear to take the step. The Emotionals Step. The Emotional Jump. To be scared. To feel. To get into a roller coaster. To share. To be. To trust. To live. To be able to focus…

To let someone in. Let a male in (for me). To get to know me.

Something most people take quite easily on. Not me. I have burned to many bridges.

My bridges in my own life.

To jump on the emotionals train… To let feelings pop up, to trust the feeling. To trust not just the Lord.

And than comes those other things in my life… where I am right now. Am I ready? Can I ever be ready again? Or will I do the same mistakes again? Have I learned enough about me to take this jump? Do I know myself enough to do this huge thing that scares myself? Slowly is good isn’it? To figured out things on the way…

I know I have started the ride with a train. That I have jumped.

Where will this lead? Can I trust it? How do I react on my own feelings? Chaos in my head…

What I have learn so far? To trust the Lord. ❤ No matter what I feel, I need the guidance from the Lord to know I am on the right path! And from Day one I have had peace and I know from where this is for me. 😊✝️😊 To have Faith and Believe. To stay on the track with Him.

I have since Day one put the whole situation in the hands of the Lord. 😊 and He shows me daily and through the whole day that He the Lord loves me and is guiding my steps. 😊

I am trying to not doubt this thing for once. It’s hard! But I’m trying.

It’s hard to jump and not knowing the outcome 🤪🥴. And ” they ” say it’s Love.

Whatever I feel, I need to trust the Lord. He knows whats best for me. He knows my life. He has been a part of my life for at least 13 years. He has been there in my roller coaster of feelings.

And my experence is that when I talk to Him, He is near.

Whatever I feel I know He care for me. He will guide me. He will surround me and I will be protected by His grace. And He will bless my life. ❤✝️

/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.2020

He take care of it all.

I just love the job as a janitor. To be able to just walk around in the garden and cut branches, that need a cut, and talk to the Lord about everything and nothing. ❤

To clear my thoughts. To put my burden on Him and knowing He take care of it all. ❤

All my worries will be all gone inside me and He fills me with peace. ❤

Whatever my issues are He take care of it all. ✝️

Whatever troubles my mind, He fills me with Love. ❤

I feel so Blessed with this sparetime job as a janitor. ✝️

Even those Days my body isn’t in good enough place, He blesses me in other areas. ❤

Today’s issue (July 23), cauesed by myself. I put it in the hands of the Lord. And straight ahead I recived Peace. ❤

To be outdoors in fresh air and just breath the air and be close to the Lord. ❤

I just feel so loved by Him.

I just know I am in the right place in the right time. ✝️

Worship.

Worship is important. Maybe even more important in this crazy time of Corona.

I can not say I have felt less Christian until now. No. But I can say, I have not been worship as much I maybe should, and been needed. Yesterday, Saturday May 9, did I met up with my house church online. A wonderful few hours! And we were worshiping, praying and sharing.💜✝️

There and than I could not stop the melody in my head. It was like this song was just what I needed. It’s a Norwegian song, called “The grave is empty”.

The lyrics to, The grave is empty;

Jesus was tormented until death. Chose to bleed for my sin. He who was pure was ashamed. God made a mockery for my sake.

(Bridge) //: The tomb is empty Jesus is alive now. In honor and in power. Eternal – death is subject to Him. ://

The sun rises over the garden. The day when death came to life. Jesus is not in the grave. The night is eternally over.

Bridge; //: The tomb is empty Jesus is alive now. In honor and in power. Eternal – death is subject to Him.://

See He who died He lives. Rays of honor and brilliance. The power that overcame death. Live in those who are His.

Bridge; //: The tomb is empty Jesus is alive now. In honor and in power. Eternal – death is subject to Him.://

You can find this Song in Norwigian at YouTube. To find the melody.

For me those words were just what I needed to hear. The deep meaning, the Love from Him who loves us more than anything!

A word from those hours yesterday that stayed with me was Act 27:34-36.

“Please eat something now for your own good. For not a hair of your heads will perish.”, “Then he took some bread, gave thanks to God before them all, and broke off a piece and ate it.”,
Then everyone was encouraged and began to eat.”

How important it is for us Christians to eat and be encourage from the Lord. To stand in faith in this crazy time in the world. To worship the Lord. To have focus on the cross.

Prayer answers 2020.

I have recived prayer answers since January this year. One by one over two months. ✝️

It has been both prayer requests from years ago and newer requests. And the Lord is just opening up new doors and windows.

HE who knows my life knows when and what I need!

I have put my life and requests in HIS hands. I trust HIM. Cause I know HE wants the best for me.

This vers came on my email today; As you reach out for wisdom, you will gain the insight you need on financial issues.

And it is just like that!

My financial situation has been a struggle for years! But the Lord has started to Bless me and my financial. ❤✝️

F.R.O.G.

Fully Rely On God. To rely on the Lord is the key to recive answers cause he knows my life.

This is one thing I just have to trust our heavenly Father. My broken teeths. 😕

P.U.S.H.

Pray Until Something Happends. Becauce if I don’t pray nothing will happen.

P.U.S.H. & F.R.O.G. goes hand-in-hand in my life. I even have my own reminder of p.u.s.h. as a tattoo on my leg. 😉

Key words; trust and let him guide your steps.

/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.2020.

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.

Encourage Word.

I got this vers on my email today and for me this was just what I needed right now.What would have taken years to accomplish is now coming together quickly.For me this is about something the Lord put on my heart about twenty years ago. So yes “…have taken years to accomplish is now coming together..” is so true!

How aware are we of what we saying?

Sustainable Life: Relationships

The tongue has power over death and life.

We need to think of how and what we saying in the meeting with friends, new people, Church and family. We need to think what is coming out is it positive or negative?

Presence of positive moments.

Make sure you make positive moments with whomever you meet.

We must take care to replenish with positive words in the day, do not use negative words. Be conscious of what I said.

Why fails to stumble? What is it that makes me repeat things, words, situations without thinking about what was done?

Do they (I) mean everything they (I) say or do they (I) just say something to have something to say?

How aware are we of WHAT we say when we speak?

SMALL THINGS HAVE GREAT POWER

If we want a change we must GO to the source!

What the heart is full of what the mouth is talking about.

I hope this is as inspiring for you as it is for me. We always need to be reminded of this! To be able to live close to the Lord we need to open up our mind.

Encouraging.

I just want to encourage you with few words.I have started to read the Acts. I was challenged by a preaching about two weeks ago.I started to read on the tram both towards work and while heading home from work.I can not say that I understood the first chapters I were reading but as more as I read and as more as I asked the Lord to help me understand. As more the words got an other meaning.If I only read, it’s just any other text. But if I ask the Lord to let me understand, let the Holy Spirit help me understand then it’s not just word’s.So I hope this will help some of my readers.Have faith and let the Lord help you with your reading. Let the Holy Spirit help you.

In hope, faith I applied.

To go against anxiety of not get a job I need financial.

How God is using us in unexpected situations.

Today have I been exploring a new area just on the boarder of Oslo and Bærum.

It’s an small river that divide the area’s a part with a bridge. This is the place…

At this water did I had a good talk with my girl friend about our daily life as Christian’s. About our gift’s our Lord has given us and how we dear to try them and learn in the process.

What we think is the hard part, how to deal with it and how important it is to share with other Christian’s!

Where the water made the whole conversation much easier for us both to share.

How I could inspire her with my faith ✝️ and how God is using me the way He does. 🙃🙂

This day become much more than I thought it would be. Just because we both shared something about our faith.

It was a good swim today in a good temperature water, with stream! But the best was the time we got together and with God!

He is where we are and He knows what we need, hear or talk about with each other.

Overandout.

The World Most Important Habits.

This is a resume from the preaching from May 19th from my Church.

To do things automatically as God had done it.
Emotions are both good habits and bad habits.

Living purely, gives better visibility in life, and then you know where you are going.
If you walk in the fog, you often get lost.

To make a choice in Life with God and You can serve in another way. Connect the heat to what God has given you.

To serve is all about finding the Balance in your life.
Make choices. Uncovering habits. Don’t think so much about the feelings when the choice is made.

What you are doing over time turns into good habits.
See people around you. Put away what makes you self-absorbed.

I hope you get some positive input from this post. 😉

To be you and share your life.

Yesterday on my way home I was thinking about to write here, thinking on what to share. I did not get longer then that. The sun’s heat hit my brain, to the point that when I were home the only thing I could think of was ice cream, water and how to get my body colder. But here I am, the day after. Actually writing.

And what I want to share is a part of my daily christian life. How my work feels like a blessing and how to be a blessing to someone that is just visit your city for a Day or two. How to be you and share your life, as simple as it is. And how important it is to be you in any situation. ❤

How I on my spear-time share my life with tourist-girls, to stay in my house and sleep on my couch because I have a profile on couchsurfing.com. How I through this – CouchSurfing environment – can be a blessing for those who want to have an experience of Oslo, my city, and by my faith trust God that this time with those girl who I accept to stay, will I somehow put a seed into those girls life. My simply life can be a blessing because Norway is an expensive country to visit!

Last time I had a CouchSurfer girl here is not that long ago, but I had a long break to host between august-18 to now in May-19 (!) I felt God talking to me to just say yes to her to stay with me. I did not read a thing about her when I accepted her stay. I did read on the way down town, just before I actually met her on the bus station. Thinking “Okay this will be interesting”, Let me be able to share something.

She arrived around 3pm a Friday, we bought a 24-hour ticket to her to use, catch the tram to the grocery-store and headed home from the rainy Oslo. Got home, soaking wet and made a warm meal for both body and stomach. She went out to explore Oslo few hours that evening. When she left it had stop raining but after a small hour the sky open and the rain came hard. I got some hours to relax my body after a “long” day at work. (Long in the meaning that wrong shoes, walking a lot, rain and musical revy made by som dysfunction youth, WOW what a good Revy!)

When she got back, soaking wet one more time, we had a chat about 30minute before we fell asleep. She had noticed the words I have around my apartment “Love”, “Grace”, “Joy”, “Faith”, “TrustHim” and “Believe” and asked me if I believed and I answered Yes, I believe in Jesus. And we talked about her background and I told here how I got back to my life in faith. I think, that I planted a seed into her mind. And I can only pray for her and that God lead an other Christian person into her life where she is now.

This is also the reason for me to have a profile in this environment, where any-kind of girls can stay for free and use money and time in the city. To explore Oslo. To be able to arrive late and leave my home whenever it fit them the next day.

God has show and given me greetings with the words “Your creative part will explode and I will help you to see the green grass”. I believe this blog and the CouchSurfing is two of those things this year and I am curious to see what he will do for and with me the years that are coming!

Good News 🤩🤩🤩

God has given me lots of patience over the last 8 years!

In 2011 I had to stop working because of a accident where I was working (kindergarten). I had a bad felt backwards with my back to the ground, the “forest floor”. I hurt my back badly.

I could not work for about 2 years. 😢

In 2013, February had I mine knee surgery. I had to learn to walk from scrach. Had rehab for 11month!

In September 2014, I started a coures to further educate me within Office and administration. I had a desire to use the knowledge I carried with me in this profession. Despite having two years of practice i this profession, I never got into a job…☹️

In August 2016, was the year I started to have internship/work-experience. The first lasted a year and led to another internship in a Hotel(in back office) which didn’t lead anywhere but it led to an other internship (also office). Forth time of internship, which is the one I have had until today the 28th of February.

And tomorrow 1 of March I start working, first time in 8 years!!

Woop woop. 🤩🤩🤩

I have worked hard and tried to find a Job I thought was in the right field but God showed me what He wanted for me last May (2018).

Most people and friends I know, don’t understand how I could live in this situation/ have this life. I only trusted my heavenly Father to lead my steps.

I have asked myself “what do I want to work with?” Many times in life and the answer has always ended in “I want to work with youth”.

Now I will. 💖

From internship at the School (college) to job 😊 at the same School.

Wait and see 5

Eternally With You.

We’ve talked at great length about the wilderness being a place where we feel as though God is no longer interested or active in our wait. As far as we can tell, He’s abandoned us. That’s just not true. Take this to the bank and deposit it for safekeeping: God is always present with you.

This characteristic of God is defined as being omnipresent. It’s a big Bible word we can add to our vocabulary and retrieve when abandonment issues tiptoe into our thought life. Turn the corner of this page down and put a large star by this sentence: Omnipresent means always present; everywhere at the same time. Now, when you feel abandoned, remember to come back here and remind yourself that God is constantly, forever, eternally with you.

–💗💗💗—-💗💗💗—-💗💗💗–

He is never not with me. He is never not with you. (English majors and grammar police, please don’t think about the double negatives.) He is next to us in our wilderness, even if we don’t see Him at work.

Even though we feel abandoned by God, we aren’t. God didn’t abandon Abraham and Sarah. God didn’t abandon the Israelites. God has not and will not abandon you. Try singing these words to the tune of “Jesus Loves Me, This I Know”: “God is with me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so. Though His presence I can’t see, God will not abandon me. Yes, God is with me. Yes, God is with me. Yes, God is with me. The Bible tells me so.”

God didn’t abandon David. He roamed in and out of caves and strongholds. He dodged arrows at the dinner table and fled from the king’s army. For over fifteen years, he wandered and waited for his appointing. But David’s wait did come to an end.

We know we’re waiting well when we truly experience peace in God’s pauses and plans. The peace is demonstrated in the resting of our thoughts and actions. Our real focus becomes a deep and abiding relationship with the Person of our faith, rather than manipulating our circumstances to receive the object of our wait. David waited well by focusing on God, not the problems, the people, or the palace.

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.

Wait and see.

I’ve just starter to read this plan “wait and see” in my Bible-app. It’s how I read the bible. It helps me understanding the meaning off the verses I would read right from the book, chapter.

Today’s devotional was about “Misconception”.

#1: If I am waiting, I must not have heard God correctly.

This is why it is so important to invite God into our wait from the very beginning, instead of after we have tried everything we know to make things happen. As we spend time with Him and in His Word, we gain confidence in His plans. A quick visit to the past fills us with the peace we need to make it through the pause. Waiting well teaches us to trust His delays rather than doubt His ways.

This is a mile-pile in a Christians life.

To wait right.

#2: If I am waiting, I must desire something not in God’s will for my life.

To ask your family and several close friends to pray with you. You have to committ to taking each step you feel God asking of you—whether that was toward meeting your future spouse or remaining single.

I have friends that pray with me. Maybe we need to change the routines on this I don’t know.

#3: If I am waiting, I must not be praying enough.

You know in your heart God would supply their needs, but you have to keep telling your head. To faithfully followed the teaching of Paul in 1 Thessalonians 5:17: “Never stop praying” (NLT). Your wait don’t end because you prayed, but you resolve strengthened, helping you to face each day.

I need to tell my head to stay where I am. If it is about waiting or other things.

#4: If I am waiting, I must not have enough faith.

The writers Word, “Here’s the thing—I should have prayed and read my Bible, but not to work my way back into God’s good graces. He is a gracious and merciful God. My praying and Scripture reading do not make Him more gracious. Somewhere along the way, I’d convinced myself otherwise. God makes us wait at times so we can glean valuable lessons. But He never does so out of spite. This is something David taught me as I continued to wait for God to heal my husband.”

How often do you ask your self those questions? I ask them.

How or what are you waiting on from God, Dad? Are you the kind of person that needs to write it down and come back to it later and see if Dad has answered you? Or do you remember every question and answer?

I have a “prayers and answers” book where I write down in the moment I have a prayer. I go back when I know Dad has answered it. Then I know it. I can read often ti remind me of the effort of waiting. 😊

To wait is a blessing and s challenge.

I hope this will inspire you too to read others view of the scipt.

/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.2019.

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 😉

Advents calender, 23rd December-18.

It’s the 23rd of December and the 4th Advent.

It’s little Christmas eve, the last day to shop the very last things.

Here is the verse of today;

Psalm 31:7-8

I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered ny trouble; You have known my soul in adversities,
And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place.

And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place.

It is the time to recieve, to enjoy with friends and family, to love and forgive. I hope you will be with someone you love or care for tomorrow and the Day after that.

Spend time is better then gifts you rap in paper. Remember, you can’t buy time but you spend time. 😉

I wish you all a Happy Merry Christmas.

/Mia-Simone.Svenberg.
