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?

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.

Advents calender 14th December.

An other day of a lot I did…

Met my shoe doctor, got my new “Winter shoes”, took the train to the course I_m in (to get back to work). Was walking and eating in negative 8°C.

Sat down inside, searching for jobs btw 10am – 12:30pm, had lunch, catched the tram home forty min later. Got Home, switched shoes, socks and out again.

To meet a girl-friend and do dine xmas shopping and catch-up over a good strong coffee/chai latte.

Back home around 5:30pm completely exhausted. Tired brain and body! I did not do much but I did take both my cats out for a walk, which isn’t normal!

Here is Silver 🐈 boy exploring the snow ❄️ for the very first time. .

And, here is the verse of Friday the 14th;

Proverbs 13:14

The law of the wice is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death.

As you seen I like to have different backgrounds of “today’s verse”. Today it’s needles 📍📍📍 because I am working with a zipper.

When you walk your steps will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble.

It is so good to know that when I run ny steps wont be hindered 😊 or stumble. God is watching our steps no matter running or just walking. 😊

Pray, Trust, Believe.

My daily life is based on prayers. I pray on my way out to the bus, at work for my co-workers and students. I pray in the TV commercial for friends, I pray on the bus or train.

I read the daily vers from my bibleapp each morning before I get out of bed.

I pray for the Day and trusting on the word that I will recieve peace, love and patience for my students.

I believe my heavenly Father will fill me up when I am getting empthy.

I let the holy spirit in to guide me and fill me with the good things I need.

I am thankful for every Day that goes by, because I know it is not by my strength. I live because I trust my life in Him.

It’s Easter

It’s Easter. A Holiday most people rest from work. Doing things they might have time to or travels away or catch up with friends or family.

I wanted to try to go to a Church that hold this special Easter services. I didn’t make it because of my body but I have been able to rest and talk to God, catch up with a close friend and been to the gym. 😉

I have had a tradition to watch The Passion Of The Christ for many years on the Wednesday or Easter Thursday. This year I did not. Not that I needed a break from the movie. No, more of I wanted to enjoy and see how Easter could be without that movie. This year I watch War Room a film about seek God, fight the bad, pray, listen, trust. Something we all need for a daily life.

God has spoken to me in other ways than normal, not just during Easter also before. I have got a new Thankfulness towards God. I can’t put it in words I just smile. I’m Happy in an other way.

This is about faith. To trust the God I know. To listen to what he has to say to me. To take time. To be. To pray where it works for me. In an environment where I can seek God.

I know it’s different for everyone. You need to find your place. Mine is in the nature or on my walk to work.

Let God into your life and see what happend.

Inspiration.

I google those to get inspiration to tattoo’s and I think I have found tree out of four butterflies I like. Those are uncommand butterfly’s.

Now I just have to decide where I want them… I will pray over it to and see if God let me do them in the future, like when I prayed over to continue of the one I have; P.U.S.H. – Pray Until Something Happens. I want to have F.R.O.G. –  Fully Rely On God. Both those stands for my way back to God, how I got saved and how I trying to live my life. I prayed over it a whole summer and my answer was “I allow you to do that but but praying hands between the words”. So, yes I pray for everything in my life, even a tattoo. Cause I know got wants whats right for me. And I’m not an evangelist, I talk about my faith when people ask me things about life. And a tattoo is often something people ask “what does that stand for” and then I have my chance to tell them 🙂

The Butterflies will be for people that have made a big impact on my life through my life since I was a kid. Like one butterfly for my bonus grandpa, one for my bonus grandma (when she is gone which isn’t get), one for my mom’s ant and one for mom when she is gone.

I am thinking of to have grandpa’s and grandma’s on the thigh and the other two on the leg. I want them to be as natural as possible and in 3D maybe on a flower or a branch.

Butterflies stands for changing and all of my relatives have been through changes in there life’s in very different ways and I have too. So it fits.

I’m not the kind of person that make a tattoo just because I like something. No. I want it to stand for something. Make sense, you know.

 So now when I kind of know what and where I want them, I’ll ask God and wait to the Day I afford to do/male them. I’m not sure I’ll do them here in Norway cause is horrible ecpencive! But my wish is to do them as soon as I get a job. In the future. I been thinking of this for the last 10-15 years anyway so I guess I can wait few more 😊😊😊

Clean your home – Clean your heart and soul.

 

 

Clean your home.

“Cleaning my home for me, is when I know I can feel the sent of green soap afterwards.”

I grow up with Thursday as the cleaning day at home and it was always mom that did most of if at least when I was a child. As I grow into a teenager I started to help mom and when I moved out of home as 16 y.o. I brought this cleaning tradition with me. It was naturally for me. I have had some “thinking” about it but I kind of never changed it until for few y.o. It’s been cleaning day on Thursdays so many years of my life that it was a bit weird to suddenly clean the house/home, wash cloths an other day in the week. I have just bought a robot vacuum cleaner to safe my back from more issues and I am pleased with it so far. It is so easy that I only need to sit down, help it to no t “run” into the mat on the floor but my cat – Silver – is as skeptic to the robot “Rob” as to the more common one. Today I took the floor,  washing with green soap. That the perfect end of cleaning at home.

“Is traditions we grow up with that important? Or is it just that we realizing about those tradition’s as adults and just bring them on?”

My mom’s thinking was this, if you clean the house on a Thursday you will have it clean and nice the whole weekend and you can come home from work on the Friday knowing you don’t need to think about cleaning.

It’s nice. But when you as I work weekends that doesn’t really work. I prefer to wash a Sunday if I am free or a Monday. Most times I wash cloths one day and clean the home an other day. It works for now.  And it was during that I started to think more about this of “if we clean our home, then we need to clean our heart and mind and soul too”.

Clean your heart and soul.

It’s not just our homes that needs to be cleaned. Our heart and soul needs it too. I realized that I have been missing to listen to worship for the last week or so, when I started my play-list on Spotify yesterday. I have been feeling emptiness inside. To fill my ears and heart with good Christian music is as much important as to have a cleaned home. In one way I am surprised that I kind of  lost track of the good things after I started the work-experience. In an other way I can understand it, because when I get home after a day or evening from the Hotel I am so exhausted that the only thing that is in my mind is to relax in-front of the television, which I do. It is only when I am free for more then two days I realizing that it is something missing. For me it is my way to clean my soul, to listen to worship or sit by the water and just clear my thoughts. It’s the best way to re-fill my soul, heart and mind with good words. It is easier for me to talk to God, to read an encouraging book or pray with Christian worship in the background. I am the girl that loves hard core and instrumentally heavy metal normally. But this year I have forced myself to listen to more common worship to see if I feel different or if God can speak to me in an other way. So far (nine months in to  it) I can’t say it’s any difference’s of what kind of Christian music I listen to.

As a Christian I need thing that lift me up. I need a Christian fellowship where I can re-fill. To have a fellowship with Christians has become so much more important now when my week is Friday to Tuesday and not Monday to Friday. When Sunday’s isn’t a church-day in the same way as before August..

But I found my Christian fellowship in June, when I went to Torp, Norway. I have now started to be a part of this group on a more regular basis. I can go to church every second Sunday or join the Christian fellowship group on every second Saturday’s. I will see what it will be, this Sunday (the 4th of September) it’s church-day. When it fits I even manage to join my house church too on Thursday’s. I know I need it and I want it. Since I became a Christian the Christian Fellowship is the most important then go to church on a Sunday. The worship, shearing  daily life and praying. Talk about life in a small or bigger group where I feel at home is the thing. Knowing that I have friends that will pray for me when I need it there in the group, when I am in the Hotel or have free and that I can be a part of the prayer for my friends. That’s when God can show us all his power.

A new journey has started in my Christian life, to found out what fits with work, what is the next step about my Christian fellowship and which church is mine? And I know God has a plan that fit’s my life!

I am as curious now as before the 1st of August or even more about what God has for me the rest of this year. 2016.

Do you remember to clean your heart, soul, thoughts and mind?
