And here I was, saying that I would stay in Oslo, at least until new-years. But then I started thinking, and i didn’t really have any good excuse to do so. Somehow, God had held all the possibilities open for me to leave, all along. I used to excuse it with the fact that I had work, and that i had to tell leave, three months before i left, but then i remembered that the company never wrote a contract with me, and thus I was free to leave whenever i wanted to. Sort of the same thing about the apartment. We have a combined contract, and so, as long as someone else comes and live here, i can just go, worst case scenario, i pay a extra month or two, until someone moves in. There where more “problems” on my list, but when i started thinking about them, they all disappeared or had obvious solutions, it felt like God was planing this all along, making sure everything would be OK, and nothing would be in the way.

So, where am i going? I’m going to Sweden, and LifeStyleTV, to be part of the media-missionary program they run there.

I’m really excited about being able to spend a whole year only focusing on God and his work. Being able to be a part of his plans, fulltime. Getting to be in an enviorment where i’m more than likely to grow spiritually. Experience the changes, not only in the life of those we reach, but in my own life and walk with God.

Bottom line, i’m excited, and God is good!

Have a Happy blessed Sabbath!

This is one of my new friends’s blog. I thought it was very interesting.

Hey there :)

It’s now 01.17 at night and just took a 20min firstgear, uphill trip to Villa hotel Utsikten (real name hotel utsikten belevue ) Theres nothing like getting all sweaty in the middle of the night… while biking that is. Geiranger is awesome at night to… I love it. The mountains are like shadows or sketches, with white lines and glowing dots on them (rivers and houses) It’s al hot to, like 20 degrees or something. The hotel has new owners again, if you didn’t know, so it’s a bit changed again… Remember the stairs to the rooms from the reception, they go down to now (to the old kiosk and telephoneboth) It’ nice here though… Speaking of nice things and receptions, the reception girl was kinda cute (Swedish, like everyone else here in Geiranger these days). I’m like hi, and she’s like hi. So I tell her I just wanna look around because my grandparents  used to own the place. So she says how much she loves it here and tells me to go ahead and look. So I do…

After a bit of looking I decide to tell facebook that I’m up here, but the internets Is coded, so I ask her for the code.  Swedish ass she is she washes her hands and goes and gets me a coke :P so I start laughing, and tell her  I asked for the code for the internet, (she’s all like :O) but I’ll take the coke anyway :P

Turns out she doesn’t know the code so I’m stuck writing a blog again, not quite sure if it’s good or bad.

Anyways that’s it… I took some photos so if you want to see them just tell me.

If this is posted online I survived the trip back down on my no break bike ;)

Heey bitches ;)

So I’ve decided to start blogging again… It’s gotta be like at least the fifth time I’ve done so, maybe like the third here on db. ( that’s the way it goes I guess) So the reason I’ve decided to start blogging this time is that I’m up in Geiranger with no internet where I work 

Sooo when there’s nothing to, while I’m watching the park or waiting for someone to come rent the cabin or whatever, I figured I’d write a post something for db and just post it when I’m down at the hotel for my daily internets. Every not too often a though pops in to my head and I go like, that’s not f.ing stupid. I’m not quite shure what you call it but anyhow, I’ll be posting some of those here. Let’s hope I don’t stop posting this time.

Thought nr.1: If you ever scared, enjoy it ;)

If you’re ever out all by yourself in the middle of the night, and there’s no one around (you hope), and that creepy feeling creeps up on you. (I know you get it to). Don’t start running or whatever it is you do, walk slower and just enjoy the feeling of being a little scared. Then look around, the world actually looks pretty darn good in the dark ;) I saw movie once, I don’t remember what It was called, or even if at actually was from a movie… but anyhuu, it want something like bla bla bla …. scare yourself once a day. Ithink that’s a pretty good idea 

I scared myself earlier today. Biggest adrenalin kick ever, I think. I was biking down to the store down in Geiranger, and those of you that have been here knows that a lota fun. But my bike hardly has any breaks right… but I’m like: whatever I’ll be okey (classic dumbass move) So at the firs 1800 turn I manage to slow down enough to barely make it, at the next one thers a shortcut, that I decided to take… (it like a path I guess (sti) ) I overestimate the power of my brakes and bump of the path a bit but again I’m okey. This time tourists actually stop and go like :O while there pointing at me, Naturally I get all proud and start laughing to myself :D t Then at the end there’s a long straight stretch… I see a car and a campercar, that I want to go past, so I get all the speed I can and then some, but right as I’m about to drive by them I see car coming in the opposite direction. I swear it felt like my heart was about to pop outa my ass. So hit the brakes as hard as I can while getting to the right of the car in front of me. (he’s also breaking) So now there’s a car to my left, parked cars to my right and another campercar sticking it’s ass out further then any of the other parked cars. So I’m literally locked in with hardly any breaks, but they where luckily god enough to get me right behind the other car again and all across the road to the other side where I was able to brake all the way down and check my boxers and such. Anyways, the feeling I got when I thought I was gona hit that campercar thing was the greatest feeling in quite some time now. So go scare yourselves okay. On the other hand, the feeling I would have gotten I In flew in to that camper wouldn’t have been too great, so don’t do that 

Longest damn blog ever…. Let me know if you actually read all of it.

Laters peoples

ralfern, eM, Standy and Karshi were talking on skype, and having some fun. (I should mention that this was late at night, and I think we, or at least some of us, were kinda tired) Trond came up with the idea of making a story by saying a sentence each. Our story ended up like this:

Det var en gang en liten elefant som var tre år gammel.
Morens elefant var nettopp kommet hjem fra ferie.
Faren til elefanten kom ikke hjem fra ferien.
Dette var fordi han ikke gikk på ferie.
Mammaen hadde vært på ferie i Uruguay.
Pappaen fikk ikke være med fordi han var for stor til å passe på flyet.
Broren til elefanten fant ikke veien hjem.
Det var inderlig godt at han allerede var hjemme.
Og da var hele familien samlet og alle var glade.
En dag uti skogen fant han noe rart.
Det viste seg å viste være mange mordere i skogen der de bodde.
Det var derfor de flytta til et annet boligstrøk.
Nå var det jo egentlig ikke et så stort problem heller fordi alle morderne var jo veldig små sammenligna med alle disse elefantene, så det var jo egentlig ikke noe problem for dem.
Og dessuten var det jo maurslukere så de var jo ikke noe farlige for elefanter i det hele tatt.
En dag fikk elefantfamilien besøk av den beryktede elefantmorderen.
Og gjett hva som skjedde da:
Han var heldigvis bare på besøk og skulle reise hjem til Kina så fort han hadde mulighet.
Og idet det han kom inn døra fikk han en telefon med en billett hjem.
Elefantsøsteren viste dessverre morderiske hensikter.
Hun ville nemlig ha telefonen som elefantmorderen fikk.
Elefantpappaen var så omsorgsfull at han ville gi elefantsøsteren en ny telefon, så da forsvant de morderiske hensiktene.
Plutselig falt det en atombombe på huset.
Elefanten het forresten Per.
Dette navnet hadde han fått fordi faren også het Per.
Bomben raste med en vannvittig fart og bommet med mange millioner mil.
Men det var dessverre en atombombe.
Denne atombomben var montert av svært gode bombemontører.
Plutselig forsvant atombomben.
Og ble erstattet med masse små pusekatter.
Med kattepus kom det dessverre også mange mus og elefantene ble helt gale.
Elefantene ble så skremt av musene at de løp til et stup.
Heldigvis viste alt dette seg å bare være en drøm.
Det var egentlig ingen elefant på tre år, ingen far, ingen mor, kattepuser eller andre merkelige dyr.
Og dette er ikke slutten på et eventyr.
Men dette er slutten.
SLUTT.

(If ur wondering bout the headline we put together the words with one letter at the time each. It’s pronounced “hûf samisk et tra geishj ist ku”)

From The Great Controvercy, pages 487,488,487 ch28 (nor: 374,375) Boldness added

The hidden selfishness of men stands revealed in the books of heaven. There is the record of unfulfilled duties to their fellow men, of forgetfulness of the Saviour’s claims. There they will see how often were given to Satan the time, thought, and strength that belonged to Christ. Sad is the record which angels bear to heaven. Intelligent beings, professed followers of Christ, are absorbed in the acquirement of worldly possessions or the enjoyment of earthly pleasures. Money, time, and strength are sacrificed for display and self-indulgence; but few are the moments devoted to prayer, to the searching of the Scriptures, to humiliation of soul and confession of sin.

Satan invents unnumbered schemes to occupy our minds, that they may not dwell upon the very work with which we ought to be best acquainted. The arch-deceiver hates the great truths that bring to view an atoning sacrifice and an all-powerful mediator. He knows that with him everything depends on his diverting minds from Jesus and His truth.

Those who would share the benefits of the Saviour’s mediation should permit nothing to interfere with their duty to perfect holiness in the fear of God. The precious hours, instead of being given to pleasure, to display, or to gain seeking, should be devoted to an earnest, prayerful study of the word of truth. The subject of the sanctuary and the investigative judgment should be clearly understood by the people of God. All need a knowledge for themselves of the position and work of their great High Priest. Otherwise it will be impossible for them to exercise the faith which is essential at this time or to occupy the position which God designs them to fill. Every individual has a soul to save or to lose. Each has a case pending at the bar of God. Each must meet the great Judge face to face. How important, then, that every mind contemplate often the solemn scene when the judgment shall sit and the books shall be opened, when, with Daniel, every individual must stand in his lot, at the end of the days.

All who have received the light upon these subjects are to bear testimony of the great truths which God has committed to them. The sanctuary in heaven is the very center of Christ’s work in behalf of men. It concerns every soul living upon the earth. It opens to view the plan of redemption, bringing us down to the very close of time and revealing the triumphant issue of the contest between righteousness and sin. It is of the utmost importance that all should thoroughly investigate these subjects and be able to give an answer to everyone that asketh them a reason of the hope that is in them.

I’m glad she stresses this, we should not fail to see the importance of what she talked about here. How often have i not found myself absorbed in the acquirement of worldly possessions or the enjoyment of earthly pleasures?! Too often, all too often. I pray that God in his kindness, forgives me, and helps me to waste less time in worldly pleasures, and spend more valuable time with him. Our true love.

God bless us with wisdom to see the sneaky work of Satan, and with power and will to spend most of our time with him.

Have a Happy Sabbath!
