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 pathwithGod 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. π
We had many good conversations about life, faith and how to see what and when God is talking. π 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 whenItrust 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 highexpections from whatGod 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.
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.
Sollerud beach.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 Uncinusclouds – 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. Β Β Β 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. π
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.
