Devotional January 21st to January 26th.

5 ways to fulfill ur potentional.

We can become so caught up in everyday that it easier to continue in old patterns rather than change.

I have been here. I am proud of myself that step by step I am changing my reading habbits.

Your potentional is not about being driven by amition or success , it is about recognising who you are in God.

As you seek him & live your life according to his purpose , you will bear much fruit. The more you begin to fulfill your God-given potential, the more he entrusts to you. You have the potential to live a life of even greater blessing than those you read about in the Old Testament. Jesus says, β€˜Blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

How to Navigate Life;

Wisdom has been defined as β€˜*the art of steering’*. As you go through life, you will need to navigate many tight situations that require great wisdom in order to avoid damaging yourself or others. And how do we do that?

Unfaithfulness is an example of a wrong turn. Wisdom will β€˜keep you from making wrong turns, or following the bad directions. (Proverbs 2:12-22). Where are all those than? Well in your life. You probably know them all or you know about them but don’t recognize them.

A binding agreement that should not be broken, like marriage. Are you married then you know and understand thus better then me who isn’t, yet I hope I’ll get there one day. But I do understand the meaning of what the Bible want me to understand.

Choose the good path

Difficult times in your life can take you off course in the wrong direction. But if you stay on the right course it will lead to greater compassion and wisdom. (Matthew 14:1-21).

To know where your focus are. Knowing your direction in life, is it studdies or work or get to know the Lord more? How do we know when it’s starting to go a bit to the left or right? And which direction is right? If you don’t ask the Lord for direction how will you know you are going in the right direction? So how will you then know how to get greater compassion and wisdom?

Fear of rejection can also lead us into trouble. Make sure you don’t allow what others think of you to matter more than what is right.

As an aduldt it might be easier but yet you can be rejected. It can be from someone you like, a job you want or maybe a trip you would like to go on. I work with youth, an age where many are unsecure on them selfs. It’s hormons and changes most all the time. And during this age it’s fast to get rejected just becauce ‘ you are not like everyone else ‘ which basicly no one is becauce of the hormons. But ‘ no one ‘ think about that. And how to guide the youth to feel they don’t get rejected or feel fear is hard. I can only talk about myself when I was a teenager. I hated the school mainly becauce my schoolmates were awfull to me. I was bullied. I had a lot of fear against my schoolmates. And the only one that helped me to not take it all in was my middle big brother.

Later as an aduldt I’ve recived support, wisdom, no fear, love and blessing into my life from the Lord. And learned how to be able to not fear most things.

Allow God to interrupt your plans.  This is so important. If you don’t let Him interrupt you will easier both get more lost in your own planing but also get the feeling of some kind of lacking or that He is further away from you and your Faith. I know that feeling.

Navigate through the challenges of life. Have you ever been rejected, treated unjustly, let down by a friend or found yourself in some other frustrating situation?

This is the daily struggle for most of us. Who hasn’t felt lost? Who hasn’t had challenges in the daily life? Or treated unjustly? Been let down by a friend? We all have been there!

So, how can we Navigate in life without being challenged every day? Well I would say through the Bible we get many answers. Read or listen, like I do, to the script we get guidense to navigate! We get patience to all the challenges we go through. And tons of love to make it. <3.

January the 5th-22

On my way to the bus this morning I thought I should try something else than just one of the podcasts I normally listen to on the way to work. So I found one of those app’s on my Bible app. This one, Bible in One Year 2022 with Nicky Gumbel – Classic.

To read the Bible in one year have never worked for me, but I think that if I listen to one Devotional with bible verse each Day. I have a bigger chance to actually manage this.

So here I am, have listen to Day One.

This isn’t one of those “New Year Revolutions” oh no! I will try it and I’ll hope I don’t drop out. I didn’t fall a sleep while I was listening. That’s a good start! Some of it was Josef’s family-tree (Which I never before manage to understand but did better with this time!)

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. πŸ€ͺπŸ˜‚πŸ€© and with all new Corona measures and rules πŸ€ͺ.

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. ☹.

Sandvika bus hub.

We have had a quite cold Winter with lots of snow negative 19Β°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.

Outside my school.

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!

Frozen river.

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 πŸ”¨πŸ”§. 😍😍. 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.

Zig-zag, sewing day.

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.

HaPPy New Year – Walk in Faith.

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?

Do you dare to always trust Him?

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!
