Hey!

This getting up at 5.30am thing is getting old fast! I leave the house at 6.20am and get home at 5.45pm.... that's a long day! I thank God for his strength and mercy to get through the day with a smile on my face :)

Phil. 4:13 says "I can do all things through Christ who makes me strong", it also says in Isaiah 40:31 "but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint".

It's almost 10pm and I'm so ready for bed :) Hopefully this trip won't last me too long and I can get back on the plane and come home. Good night everyone!

The new job.....

I'm working as a customer service representative for a media house in Oslo. My cousin also works here, which is partly the reason why I got this job. I'll be part time until June, filling in where needed, after that it's full time.

I spent second day of training sorting through returned papers and updating addresses of current customers. It's not the most exciting job in the world, but its not bad either. Besides, its kind of fun just filling in where needed for a while.... My coworkers are all really nice and friendly too, which is awesome!
I like it here. I'll tell you more later....... Ciao for now :)

fianlly sunshine.... yay!!

I can actually see the sun today and I really hope it lasts all day.... I think its been raining or snowing since I got here....

I'm off for my first day of training today and I'm both happy and a little nervous.... Don't really know what to expect, but I'm sure it'll be all good :)

My cousin left for Costa Rica yesterday (a bit jealous) so now I got the apartment all to myself ;) Well, I better get ready.

Ciao!

still raining......

So, I've come to the conclusion that I was born in the wrong country. I don't like cold weather; I tolerate snow for about a day (lol), I love 100F days in Oklahoma, and honestly the mountains are somewhat overrated..... j/k the mountains are gorgeous, but only when the sun is shining and the temps are above 75F..... ;) Everything here is tiny; the houses, the streets, just try parking your car if you've been used to the American way of living - hah!! not such an easy task at first... No wonder everyone has those little smart cars.... hahaha So, by birth I'm a viking, but in heart I'm a true American (Yeah!!!)

later dudes!

Happy weekend!!

Hi friends!

I've almost been over here one month now, and I just quit my coffee job and I'm interviewing for some other more grown-up jobs (hehe). After working my first shift, I figured out I was actually pretty tired of the retail world. It was time for a different industry. So, I've interviewed for two jobs the last two days and I got one offer so far, but I'm waiting to hear from the other job before I decide..... The other one pays better, so naturally I'd rather have that one..... The weather is still pretty glum here and I miss spring in Oklahoma.... there's nothing more beautiful than watching the lightning storms in Oklahoma.....

So, good weekend everyone and I'll check in with you all later.....

Remember; Matt. 6:33 "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you....." As you stay focused on God and what he wants you to do, He'll focus on you and take care of all your needs :)

Easter break!

Here are some pictures of my hometown.  I didn't get to take very many because the battery in my camera died....  I went skiing with my aunt and ran into some old friends and family.... and also went bowling with my cousins....

I had my first actual day of working today and it was crazy busy. I got there at noon and it never slowed down. My head was about to explode and my feet were hurting pretty bad too... I'm beginning to wonder why I'm wanting to be a barista..... It's stressful at times and not as easy as it sounds.... Anyhow, I got a two month trial period, so I guess I'll use the two months to figure it out. Besides being crazy busy at work i missed the 7 o'clock train back to Fredrikstad and had to wait two hours for the next train. Sucked!!! Then I met Janne at church and we rode in a friend's car to another friend's house for a birthday party which was another hour away by car way out in noman's land (lol). The house was gorgeous!! Newly remodeled older Norwegian house and absolutely fascinating. We ended the night by watching "when the Spirit gets to moving" with bro. Hagin and it was a great way to end the night. I'm going to bed now, its 3:44am here. Good night and good luck! ;)
