Interesting greeting, panic, all my thoughts?,where is my faith? doubting, grace…

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 it something else you waiting on? You who following my blog.

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 “.

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).

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…

It’s already December (!)

It’s been happening a lot since last post… time flies to fast!

It’s December first of all!

And only 1,5 week until Christmas break (!) How did this happend?

No Christmas calender yet and probobly not at all. Well I survive, will you?

It’s has been ❄every 2nd week and ☁️🌧 every other 2nd week. Kind of how it was last year this time. ☹

But the mornings and evnings has been beautiful.

I did buy a fake Christmas 🎄 tree this year. A 150cm tall tree 3rd the size from previges year.

🙂 I have been so much into my work and when I finally have had free I’ve just been relaxing and enjoying I’m free.

And with free time have I been able to catch-up with life, friends and enjoying the Winter veiw of Oslo.

And color my hair back to my absolutly colour – red.

I don’t know what the next post will be about. You just have to wait and see.

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, 24th December-18.

It’s Christmas eve 🎄 it’s finally here. The Day I have been waiting on.

Here comes the verse for today; Psalm 37:21

The wicked borrows and does not repay, But the righteous shows mercy and gives.

This verse is just like what Christmas is all about. To show mercy and be giving.

We celebrate the newborn son that came to this World for us. Our Father gave us a son, to be able to show mercy to others. And we have the oppurtunity to give, show love and mercy.

Merry Christmas.

Those day’s are life.

Life goes on whatever you do in life that is fact. We do all have day’s when we have more or less things to do. We all have day’s when we do not want to do a tiny thing but we have to because we have a job or family we can not just delete. But the feeling are there.

We have day’s when we want to be more social then other day’s or when we actully are spontanious social because we met someone we have not seen in a long while.

Those day’s are life. They are there.

Do I have this life? Yes! Am I happy every day? No, but I can try to be positiv. Positiv for friends, co-workers and family or neighbors.

I went to church today and there did the pastor talk about our daily life and challenges God askes us to do for him. One of them I reflected pver was “do we see our neighbors need for things in their daily life?” Are we a part of anything they need help with? What can we do practicly for them? How do we get to know our neighbors if we do not know them?

I am lucky to know most of my neighbors where I live, because I needed to get to know them few years ago. I am blessed to live where I live. I have not earned it but God have given me that.

Have you thought about why you are living where you are living? Are you blessed where you live? Cam you get to know your neighbors? Daily thoughts in life.

Beach, swimming, friendship, sun and wind.

The Oslo fjord. Waves. Wind. Sun.

On Friday evening I got a txt msg from my neighbor and friend, if I wanted to join her to the beach on Saturday and I answered her “I have a friend visiting me I have to ask her”. So I did when my couch surfer came back home. And we figure-out that Yes, we could do that but not to early. So we sat a time, 2 pm wasn’t to late and not to early on the Day.

Saturday the 15th of July.

We woke up before 10 am. I vacuum cleaned my apartment with my Robot-rob and my couch surfer went away to buy some oil to her Ape50 (3wheeled moped). We ate some lunch and packed and went for a walk down to the beach. A 25 minutes walk down hill from me to the beach. It was warm and with some wind. We walked by a cool garage with a chapel-clock on the roof and came to the white bridge over the E18 (Europe road 18) and there, the view over the sailing-boats and the glittering water. WOW! And the wind catching us in the face. Over the bridge and walking along on the sea side to get to the beach…

This view… I can’t get enough of it! It’s just so lovely!

I didn’t think of taking pictures here..I guess I’ve walked here so many times I didn’t need it but luckily my new friend Katja did.

Eventually did we reach the beach and find my friend and neighbor who went there few hours before us and we also went back around a corner to a spot where it was less people and it felt like it was more sun and less wind.

Katja and Olena, went into the water first.

I had to sit and rest my back after the walk so Katja and Olena went into the water first and I could enjoy the view of the beach, people and take some pictures. What a lovely day to e on the beach! This is Summer on the best. It was perfect weather, not to much wind, not to much people, not a bird as far as I saw. Blue sky with Cirrus Uncinus clouds – they appear as thin and fibrous like, except that they always have a hook or curl on the tip. Very cool clouds!

A Day to just relax and enjoy life. A day to be thankful over to have. And to be impressed of how beautiful God has created the nature, sea and everything we have around us. And how beautiful a small beach can be and how peaceful it can be to just sit there and enjoy the minutes that pastes into the future. I love to just sit and watch out over the sea, the waves, the clouds. To memorize it like a picture in my head so I can go back to that moment and pick it out and remembering it later again.

When the girls came back we all just lay down on our towels on the grass to enjoy the sun and they enjoyed the wind & sun to get dry, chat and shared food and homemade ice-tea. Took pictures of the moment and laughed of the pictures. Made moments to bring with us into the future, years ahead.

We tried to swim against the waves, we tried to float but no and we tried to stand still in the water with the help of the arms and legs in motion without reaching the bottom. We laughed so much it was hard to keep our heads over the waves and that became even more fun. We tried to talk to each other but the wind through away our words and that made it even more fun. All this in the water. Rough to do anything than swim well no swimming was also rough.      After 3 hours at the beach we felt it was time go go home. Katja wanted to walk back home, me and Olena took the bus. And the funny part was that I said to Olena, “I bet Katja is home before us even if she’s walking” and she was. 😉

 

Back home we grilled with more laughs and lost of good burned veggies.

BBQ grapes is tasty.

During our BBQ grilling I suddenly saw two ears in the grass. First I thought it was a cat or maybe a fox but it was a deer.
