Today I have been thinking of the word grace. How we use it and how we use it. Mostly “we can recieve grace from the Lord “, but how can we use it in our daily life as christians? Well, I think that by being thankful for what the Lord is doing in us every day we recieve grace and by grace we can reach our co-workers in a higher level then they understand. So, what is my piont? Well, I say pray for your co-workers every day and the Lord can do miracles.
I didn’t hear my alarm ๐คช๐คช at 06am. Overslept. Woke up 07.29am. The time for the bus I wanted to catch, left. So what to do? With panic I dressed, rushed out of my friends home, walked as fast as I could. Catched any bus, got to the metro. Rushed up the stairs to get on the right side to catch the metro, but oh no it left the stop just when I got up the stairs ๐คช๐คช.
More panic!! What to do? I NEED to catch the bus from the bushub 08.30am!
๐ A cab! Yes. I asked for the price and said maximum 400nok. He said yes. ๐. Still panic inside of me. But as closer to the city we got less panic I had. Yet, praying that I would catch the bus.
08.16am I payed the cab driver, and walked towards the bushub. Manange to spend time to buy an espresso but not breakfast, drank it while I got more relaxed. The panic was now gone. Thank you Lord for having extra money for the cab!
08.30am onboard on my bus, on my way to Gothenborg. ๐๐.
Gothenborg 12.05pm… I walked as straight as I could to get to the police station, from the bushub, for new Passport. 12.20 pm ish, registrated me and waited… (so hungry, yet nothing to eat) got into a hallway (like when you are doing you wote for a new gowertment) to a police officer who helped me with the application. Went out of this box-room 13.43(!).
The tram.
The South side of the Central Station of Gothenburg .
Ordered food from subway. My first meal today ๐คช๐๐ at 2pm.
Figured out that I could not stress more so I bought a new ticket ๐ซ with departure at 16.05pm instead of 14.45pm. While I were eating the time was 14.30pm.
Ate my warm sandwich from Subway, went to find a Swedish food/grocery store. Offcourse internet wasn’t with me ๐คช๐คช when I neede to pay… but I managed (asking the Lord to help me) after few minutes ๐.
North side of the Central Station.
Back from the food store towards the bushub. Now the small suitcase full of Swedish food ๐๐.
๐ป After my shopping a big need of a toilet!
๐ณ๐ถ Than trying to find a technical store and buy a charger to my smartphone โ Becauce I forgot to bring the one I had with me to Oslo in my morning stress…
But not on the bus back to Oslo b4 a good espresso!
Searching for my bus back to Oslo 15.55pm.
Now, 5.30pm, almost half way with the bus towards Oslo ๐. Rain in the air, more colours in the nature here than at home. Bye bye Gothenburg.
The Lord has been with all day. He has given me calmness when needed and I have been able to think rationally in a stressed situation. He gave me peace to relax on the bus to Gothenborg. He gave me peace to buy a new ticket for later today. He also helped me when internet wasn’t working propper in the grocery store. I am thankful for today Monday even if it went both crazy, when I got panic this morning and after hours without food.
I have written the e-mail today, my resignation on this aparment ๐คช๐คช๐คช and now it’s all in the Lord’s hand! And I have to trust him and his way for nxt apartmen. I have been looking since the day I said yes to the job and yet nothing that fits my budget โน.
My wish for nxt apartment is, under 10k (nok) inclusive electricity, allowed for indoor cat, I am not giving up on Silver, 1 month of deposit, Partly furnished like stove & fridge & dishwasher inclusive. I kind of need a small garden spot, balcony or backdoor garden. Walk distance to the bus or train.
Pls stay with me in this. He, the Lord, gave me a new job and I know he will give me what I need. It just feels much harder this time becauce it’s so little out for rent. Maybe he has a miracle in ” his sleeves” through an other place I haven’t thought about ๐ .
I have to stay positive. I start, finally, work on Monday. 2 day’s from today. ๐คช๐คช. Looking forward to it!! Even though I don’t really know what I will be doing. And I know from experience that time flies fast therefor, is my prayers for nxt place high lighted. I will also need some hlp to actually move when that time comes.
To stay in the trust to the Lord when the doubts comes and the time getting closer to the date of my new job. To not doubt. To focus on positive and be thankful for what I have, got, the prayer-answers.
Daily life.
A walk with podcast in my ears to clear my thoights. I am so bored at home. I need friends. I need to get to know people. I need a life. Not just a job. To not have anyone to hang with, take a coffee with just chill is boring! But how to meet new people? If you don’t go out, like in the evening, how and where do I meet new people? I don’t. ๐. It feels like my life is so boring.
It’s Monday 11am, I’m in the city. Just don’t know what to do. Would love to start work this week but I have to wait… so what to do this week?
July in Norway isn’t the best month to chill with people becauce almost everyone have theire vaccation. As a singel christian lady I don’t go out in the evening, I haven’t even been on a date, which I had hoped for. My church only have service at 6pm on Sunday’s. …
My veiw right now 11.28am.
Watching people, trying to think on what to do today… It’s a cloudy day today. Just like my brain right now ๐คช. But back to the title… to trust the Lord in all.Totrust for a miracle, to not doubt when your search doesn’t give you anything of what you are looking for. To be able to encouraged others by standing in faith all the way, to not give upon the lord. To not fall for the doubts whatever happends.
Outside the swimminghall ๐, Stavanger.
I struggle to stay in focus in my faith to trust the Lord from day to day or even some day’s from hour to hour. I can be honnest on that. I ask the Lord as soon as it happend. I am human to doubt but I am also in need of the script & worship to not fall out. And Christian friends in my age to hang with. How many are we, singel Christians without kids that don’t want or can’t have kids? How often do you see or hear about ‘young adults without kids’ groups in your church? I haven’t in my church. Not even in my old church. Why? Well most churches has groups for young adults & students – an underline of “you might find your partner and we hope you become a family soon” is at least my feeling on what the church wants. How is it in your church?
When you don’t have a partner, life sucks!
Worship gives me peace and I get calm on the inside and in my soul. Right now the only thing, therefor I’ll stop writing and hope some of you out there will come with inspiration to me. How you do in your struggles and how you meet new people.
Last Year this time I were stressed about where to find a job and where to move. Today I have lots of motivation to write applications one by one until I got a job. A job the Lord will open up for me. I still trust his power and way’s I can’t see. I just know I will get a job, the right job for me. Even if that means I’ll move again. I’ll do that tp be able to be where the Lord can use me. He has given me peace to stay in this county, which I will. ๐
And today I started my ๐ฅณ๐๐ป Summer Vaccation at 2.20pm ๐ฆ๐๐ฅณ
One of my first thing not to do tomorrow is, not wake up at 06.10am ๐๐๐. But I will try to not turn my day’s upsidedown at once. A week from today I’ll be in Trรธndelag and visit my brother & sisterinlaw and be apart of theire wedding celebration, meet close and distance family. Which I haven’t seen in one and a half year ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ.
Last Friday (June 10th) I received my monthly salary, just with a smaller chock. I received less than half of what I normally receive. So yes a smaller chock. But, I thought about it, how I mostly tell myself to really trust the Lord when I don’t know how I am gonna live so I prayed for my situation. And asked the Lord for a miracle or a blessing. I asked for “I need enough for all the bills, food, medication and it would be nice to have some money left for my Vacation Lord”
On Monday I received an email from my last work county, saying they had tryed to send me my Vacation money (that’s how it works here in Norway. That you earned from last years work you get next summer). But they didn’t managed to send it cause I have change bank during the year.
Tuseday, things got sorted out and on Wednesday I received the blessed Vacation money. Much more than I thought I ever could earn through a partime job (on 70%) in the School.
Wednesday and Thursday I’ve used my time to transfer money to where it need to be and what to save for later. I feel so blessed! The Lord knows what and how much we need in different seasons!! I trusyed the Lord and he gave me more than I asked for ๐. I will now be able to pay all my bills, go on vaccation not thinking how much can I use?, maybe even go on a 24 hour trip to Denmark with one of my closest friends from Oslo. ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐คฉ. And I will be able to save some ๐คฉ๐คฉ. Which is extra good, especially becauce I don’t know where I start a new job yet.
Which is the nxt in trust to the Lord, I have peace from the Lord that he knows. I just have to keep applying for jobs until he open up a door.
And one other thing that happend was, cause of the start of this week I didn’t see how I would be able to go to the work party June 17th. So some of my colleages talked during the week and told me on June 16th “we will make sure you can join the party, it shouldn’t be about money when you wont come back in the fall”, if you still want to come. So yesterday June 17th, I went, though with headache, and had fun ๐๐. Such a blessing from my colleages!! And I have to say, I have felt how this school was where the Lord wanted me to be this year. Extra blessing just with that.
Hi guys ,you who following my blog. This is me. Not just text from me in person but actually few shorter videos. ๐
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. ๐
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. ๐.
I am not aloud to post more videos ๐ญ 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. ๐. 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.
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.
Light through the window by night.
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 ๐ 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 ๐๐ and later on Friday I even made pai ๐๐. So, I have been home all week. With fever nothing else. No other symptoms ๐๐. Getting stronger each day.
First homemade dinner this week.
Berry pai.
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 ๐๐๐
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. ๐
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!! ๐๐ฅฐ๐ and now first of all Coffee & breakfast. ๐
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. ๐
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. โค
So whenever you don’t have the words ask the Lord and He will give you them.
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. โค 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. ๐โ๏ธ๐ 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. ๐ and He shows me daily and through the whole day that He the Lord loves me and is guiding my steps. ๐
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 ๐คช๐ฅด. 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. โคโ๏ธ
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!
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 ๐
Where ever I am with whatever kind of pain. It can be a normal headache or migraine or that my stomachache hurts. I pray until I don’t have more pain. And pray this short pray.
I put trust in the words.
I put trust to God.
That he will and can set my body free from pain.
I pray like this;
Set, my body free from pain.
Set My, body free from pain.
Set my Body, free from pain.
Set my body Free, from pain.
Set my body free fromPain.
I just wanted to share it with you.
You might have pain somewhere too.
Or you might know someone who needs a short pray to pray or just read this.
Have faith and trust God to do a miracle in your life. โค
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. ๐
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. Youneed to find your place. Mine is in the nature or on my walk to work.
