Merry Christmas like heaps and stuff.

Considering the fact that it's Christmas and my birthday, I felt obligated to put out a post. Been quite lazy lately, I know.

Well then, It's Christmas Eve and mum and dad and I are at my brothers family in Tananger outside of Stavanger. Mum and I was at work yesterday so we arrived here late last night. Still the Christmas feeling hasn't caught me. I really dislike that.. Hopefully all the traditional Christmas movies on tellie will get me all in the mood.

Have an absolutely gorgeous day.
I love you.

Psalm 92:13 -
...planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.

I feel so unbelievably blessed everytime I realise even just a little bit of what all this partial stress and somewhat pain is the start of. It's the beginning of the biggest adventure so far in my life. A lady in church said to me today; oh, you must be both excited and worried. But I just don't feel worried at all. I mean, I'm still taking on every little work-hour I can, but I know my God will be there and will care for me.

This adventure is the start of the rest of my life, which is gonna be the most amazing journey towards heaven. A bibleschool teacher was praying for me earlier this year, he's a prophet as well, and he said that he couldn't explain what he saw because it was completly without boundries. That's kind of exciting, little me to be used of God in greater ways than I can ever imagine. That's my God, the greatest of all.
I'll keep dreaming. No matter what!

Your eyes searched the world, over kings and queens, looking for a child just like me. <3

I hate feeling useless. I hate it when the people I love and really need support from are those who make me feel like I am worth nothing.

I can't wait to get away from here. Start over again somewhere else. Where I might be loved only for who I am, not what I do.

2006-11-22T17:41:00.000+01:00

Oh my gosh.

I've been practicing certain words such as "like" and "heaps" so that I can fit in when we arrive to Australia and so that I can be cool in Norway ;) :P I wrote about Anna at Blink and this was how it turned out:

[totally fillsong]
Oh my gosh, I so totally love this girl, like you know.. heaps and stuff. She's so adorable and so gifted beyond anything you know. My gosh, I just wanna kiss her and hug her all the time_. You know, we (together with PK) are gonna totally rock Australia, like heaps and stuff. Oh my gosh, I can't wait! People are all like, "yeah, so it's Australia. Like so what? Like what's so special about Australia?". And I mean, like Aussie-mates forever you know. Oh yeah, rock and roll! :D

But like nothing in the entire world could like ever describe Anna, you know. Oh my gosh, she's just this amazing God-created being with an outstanding heart. And girl's got humor! Sleepinginthecar-team humor! :D

My Anna means the world to me!
I love you, to eternity and beyond. <3
(Bobbie will so totally love us)

::pkacia. It's like important you know. Like heaps and stuff !!

Other than that, there has been so much going on lately. Too much for me to even start talking about, but life is so much fun! I love it.

ps. Got my CoE today. Absolutely unbelievably excited about moving to Australia. Wish it was tomorrow, although I am a bit anxious about what to bring and what not to bring.

A post for my own well-being.

Try to find the words to express the way you are
But the beauty of the Lord cannot be described
In just one lifetime

Look at the sun over the seas
Look at your grace that covers me
Now I know, yes I know
Now I know, I know Your love has saved me

In the morning I can't stop praising your name
In the evening I can't stop praising your name
In the morning I can't stop praising your name
In the evening I can't stop!

Today New Beginning were at the Sunday School at church, and it was so much fun! :D The kids were learning about Noah and the ark, so Elin did facepaint on the pre-school kids, but of course it would be unfair if they would say no to us (christina and I :p). So I became a tiger (raow) and she became a pink fart (cat). miaow

denne gang på norsk..

Det hjelper å snike seg rundt på ukjente menneskers blogger (ireneoghaakon.blogspot.com:

"En av de nye sangene til United, Devotion, har satt seg så innmari i hodet mitt. Fantastisk tekst! Her er refrenget:

"When you stand
Tall trees and mountains bow

When you speak
The fiersest of ocean in still

And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost becom choosen
And I fall to my knees""

nå er bare spørsmålet hvem som har skrevet den.. selv om jeg håper veldig på Joel så tipper jeg egentlig at dette er Mia Fieldes..

I'm tired.. tired of having parents who believe I can't make my own choices and stick by it, tired of them believing I can't do anything.
I'm tired of being the laughing stock in life.
I'm tired of being disrespected at church, tired of taking all the hits and blame for something I never did alone, tired of being looked down on instead of being looked up to as a leader. And I'm so sick and tired of feeling like no one thinks I'll never make it.. Tired of people I love making me feel like I'm nothing at all.

When will I gain some respect? You're only as human as I.

then again, maybe I was never cut out for this..

EDIT:: and like now no one's coming on Saturday. My first preaching.. great.

My hope is built on nothing less,
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' Name.

On Christ the solid rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

- Edward Mote and William Bradbury

Oh joy :)

Let me introduce you to someone very special. This beautiful sweet little girl is named Fud-Genive, she is 5 years old and comes from Haiti. She may look like the average girl to you, but Fud-Genive is deaf. But oh joy, today she became my Compassion-child :D I hope and pray that through my payments, my prayers and my letters she will be inspired, healed and become what God intended her to be. I love this little doll. Please remember her in your prayers.

Though I'm many miles away
How could I forget the day
I held you close and my
Heart was changed forever
Though I'm many miles away
I'll forver hear you say
I am your child, please will you love me,
Won't you stay?

My little one, I live to change your world,
I live to change your world
How you've changed my world
The kindness of God will make a way

There's not a day that passes by
When I don't hear your hungry cry
I won't forget you, oh how I love you
Just be strong

My little one, I live to change your world,
I live to change your world
How you've changed my world
The kindness of God will make a way

He has made a way
He rejoices over you with singing,
He will quiet you with His love
I know you'll be dancing though your heart is heavy
Heaven will make a way

When the night is long
And hunger is your song
Breathe again and know,
To hope is never wrong

I live to change your world, I live to change your world
Oh how you've changed my world,
Oh with every breath I live to change your world
I live to change your world
Your name is not forgotten
I live to change your world
Hold on, hold on
I live to change your world

- Darlene Zschech <3

I could have used this post to talk about how excited I am for Christmas and snow and Oslo and everything.. But I figured there are better things in the world.

I haven't even started. Have not signed up as a Compassion sponsor yet, but my world is already changed and my heart is aching every minute for the forgotten children of this world. God said to Darlene and Mark Zschech after they had been visiting their Compassion-children in Rwanda, and after they'd seen all the horror that that nation had been through, "now you know the problem, what are you gonna do about it?" I have never been hit so hard by any question ever. I know the problem, I see the longing for hope in these childrens eyes, and I'm just gonna sit here and do nothing? No way. I intend to do something, because I can! (tad inspired by maria here ;) ) And trust me, if I can do this, anybody can!

Seriously, get involved.

Like heaps you know :p This Saturday FILLSONG:heart: will be playing at the Culture House (:P). Some of the congregations in our little "city" got together to arrange a weekend propped with gorgeous meetings, and the Saturday night and Sunday morning meetings will be held in Bellevue Stage 1.

SO excited to play there again, awesome sound, awesome stage and AWESOME dressingrooms :D:D They are particularly loved by us girls in the danceteam ;)

Have also stayed up late the couple of last nights. Have serious issues with the Left Behind series. I am reading the 11th book now and I get so caught up in it that I just can't put the book down. Will be finishing that one tonight so that I can start reading the 12th book. :D excited!

Started of with like Marty and Joel (Timothy), but then it started growing until it included about every guy there. Like JD, or "funny do do do, do that thingy with the arms dude" as we like to call him.

Stressful weekend, lots of work, lots of fun, and no sleep. This lead to extreme tiredness this afternoon, so I fell asleep at about 4:30 pm and woke up at 7:45 pm. It was completly dark in my room when I woke up and completly quiet in the house so I thought it was in the middle of the night.. Bit confused then yes :p But I figured it out at last.

Anna(r) and I lead worship on Friday night, last night and this morning. Friday night was so much fun, last night too (I mean, Fillsong rocks you know), and this morning, as we did some of our English songs as we always do cause English is glorious you know, it felt like I had to press a bit on. Some of the people in our church has decided that English songs they just won't co-operate with in worship, but still it's awesome songs. Like "Sovereign Hands", I love that song you know.

And the night is still young, wonder if I should read a book or something. Or sleep? :p

Living in Australia calculations:

Hillsong International Leadership College calculates that you'll need between 220-290 AUD a week for different livingcosts, i.e. house, food and stuff like that. Now, say I lay off the chocolate and the candy, and spend about 270 AUD, 4 weeks a month, 12 months a year. That equals 12960 AUD, which means 60190 NOK.

I'm working for the next ten months, and I'm saving about 6000 NOK a month, after all the taxes and the tithe. Now anyone with a brain can measure up what that means.

God is Salvation! :D

EDIT:: the acceptance fee has been drawn from my bank-account and my pastoral reference was sent yesterday. now we're starting to talk serious buisness here! :D I'm so unbelievably excited! Struggling still with believing in myself, but hallelujah, God knows me better than myself.

I've come to love You, Lord
I've come to bring all my praise
I've come to honour You
And to glorify Your beautiful Name

All heaven and earth will worship You
Singing holy is the Lord
A hymn of pure adoration
As we see Your wonderful Kingdom come

Your favour is surrounding me
Your word is lighting my way
You're faithful to deliver me
Your glorious love leads the way to salvation.

<3 Darlene Zschech

My life in a nutshell.
I'm born with one purpose only; to glorify God and bring all my praise before Him. My desire is to see all heavens and earth bow their knees in awe of the holy Lord, and that He may see our adoration as pure and honourable to Him, so that His Kingdom come. And through all my earthly circumstances, though I make mistakes and fall, He is surrounding me with His favours, He lights my way, and delivers me faithfully even if I have betrayed Him. God is awesome

So like last night, rather late, I started to go through some of my old writings from like 4 and 3 years ago. And I could literally see how my heart has changed over the years. I could see how I had a hard time for a while, and how God has blessed me through it. And I also found a whole lot of song-material, some of it became a song today. It felt good, cause I haven't been writing for a while, with the whole music and stuff. My dream is only now to use my songs in worship at church. But God'll hopefully bless me more.. Cause I found a list of dreams which I had written 4 years ago, and out of 9 dreams, God has blessed me with 6. The remaining 3 I know aren't God's plan for me. So God is truly good.

But I might wanna start dreaming bigger.

EDIT :: give me profoundness, Lord. and words of expression. You know what I mean Lord. Help me

HCE completly changed my view of worship. I realised that at rehearsals today. I gave everything, even if it was just a rehearsal. It was heaps of fun. Before rehearsals there was something in me which bothered me, and still does, but as I worshipped it was totally gone. It's amazing, now I just got to pray it completly away.

And I'm glad God believes in me, cause I have a hard time with that.
But I hope it'll get better sometime.. I think I need a revolution in my head or something.

my HILC APPLICATION!

weee :D Now I just have to nag on my youth leader every day to get the pastoral reference done. She's a bit.. lost in space :p

Now I'm at church (wow, surprise) eating my dinner. A wildcaserole:p ("viltgryte" for all ya'll Norwegians) I love it, but I didn't think this one contained mushrooms, until I found this big chunk. I've probably eaten some of them too. eeeeeuuuuuwwwwww! So now I'm sorting them all out. I have no problem eating them, but when I first start to think about it I am totally grossed out.

Another revolution today is that I have gotten a savings acccount. So now it's really time to get serious about this whole money thingy. oh yes indeedy.

WE'RE HERE! :D

first of, before I even start to talk about how much God blessed me through the conference, I want you to know how much God has blessed me today.
Mum said that my boss wanted to see me (me and my mum work at the same store), so I went to see him. And praise God, my boss wanted to increase my work-hours, which he had to take away from me in the start of September. It even includes two extra hours :D It's only two days a month, but it means the world! Glory to God!

Now, Hillsong Conference Europe highlights.
My first proud-of-story; Anna and I were wearing our "hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah" shirts the first day of the conference. We heard the Hillsong band rehearsing, so we wanted to take a peak through the stagedoor. As we were peaking someone grabbed my shoulder saying "I love your shirts!" I turn around, stare at the person for forever before I realise it's Bobbie Houston! She were crazy about our shirts, and stated to her hubbie Brian who were there to, "I just wanna tear their shirts off". It was so awesome, and a lovely way to kick off the conference.

The first evening was filled with awesome preaching by pastor Brian and awesome worship with Darlene and team. What's so awesome is how God freed me. The first night I felt so bound, so sort of unavailable to worship the King of Kings. But the next night, as Delirious held worship, I decided to just let go. And so I did, and as I laid it all before Him, He blessed me endlessly with a new perspective of worship and adoration. Something else awesome is this girl who gave me note after the first songs. She explained how she had seen the love for Christ through me and that I was a beautiful worshipper. My heart was so blessed!

There were some amazing sessions with the most amazing people! Christine Caine is so awesome! Stu G, oh wow. The entire crowd were totally silent as he spoke! Phil (&) Dooley, hilarious awesome! Bobbie Houston, speachless. The oldest teenage-girl ever! :D She is so sweeeeeeet! Zhenyah something.. :p Pastor of Hillsong Kiev. AWESOME dude! And of course pastor Brian Houston! :D

But the bestest (yeah) were none other than Darlene Zschech. Oh how God has blessed me through her. She led some amazing worship, preached a message I've never even thought of, and best. I got to tell her that I love her. :D
I got to meet her. Although Anna had to push me. I have this little shy girl inside of me, and she really came alive in that moment. So there I stood before the woman in my life as I like to call her, and I literally whispered, in a massive crowd all making conversations, "I was wondering if you could sign my book". She had to ask me to repeat, so I gathered all the courage in me and spoke with a bit louder voice. I got my book, got my picture, I told her what a blessing she is, and that I love her. I put my hand in her head as I said it, bit lame, but I didn't dare to hug her (regret that now, yes). And she told me I was beautiful. I cried afterwards, it was so amazing!

Other amazing blessings from God were all the people we met. Like Juan and Frank from Costa Rica, in the picture with Darls. We had heaps of fun. We met Adam and, um.. the other dude from Bristol, Tim from Australia, time-is-ticking-away-Anthony, the HILC dude from Switzerland, Tanya from India, that sweet lady with the pink t-shirt from England, and heaps of others. Even queuing was awesome! :D

My life was changed. No doubt about it.
My God is mighty to save (L) I love you!

11 hours and 28 minutes til departure.

I was overstressed earlier today. Thought I had way to much to do today.
But as always I stressed for no reason, and now I'm at church waiting to clean. Have waited for 15 minutes, and still need to wait half an hour. And when I'm done, what awaits me? Yes, more cleaning in the kindergarten. Wehey!

But it doesn't matter.. London's to close to feel sad and tired! :D
Still haven't realised that I'm actually gonna see Darlene Zschech <3 in real life. In person. In the beautiful way she is. WOW!!!!!! EXCITED!!!!

And into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is, and He's holding out His hands.

Lots of beautiful people were here this weekend. First of was mr. Thomassen, my very beloved friend :) Was extremely delightful to see him, and apparently so did PK feel. :P We played Uno and the flasktut peiks on (lovely english). funfunfun :D I heart this dude so much. Can't wait till next time I see him :)

The other dude that visited us this weekend was Einar Fosseli, one of the pastors at Sørlandskirken. He is crazy and so much fun, and so beautifully straight-on-cut-to-the-chase. At our youth meeting Saturday night he showed of his very hot tummy :p So I challenged him, if he could show it of at the Sunday meeting today he would get a large chocolate from me. And after a lot of waving of chocolate during his preaching, he just couldn't stand it more. He had to have the chocolate, so he flashed his tummy in front of the entire congregation, and claimed his chocolate. Hilarious! :D

And I have to show of myself. These two gorgeous Aussie-mates.
I love you! :D

Now let me introduse you to the rockandrollcutestkidever, Elisabeth. She just turned 3, big girl now, and spite her young age she is quite the musical genious. Just like her daddy :) Duckie and I are convinced that her passion will be in drumming. :D

Now you might be fooled by this lovely ladie's charm, but I can assure you she's not always the little angel. ;) This girl can play her tricks. :p

But still we love this little doll. May your life be as gorgeous as your Lord <3

EDIT::

You Should Date An Australian!

You're a down to earth, outdoorsy kind of girl
And you need a guy who can keep up with your adventures
A rugged Austrailian guy is just your style
Better start learning how to surf!

Which Foreign Guy Should You Date?

thank You, God. (no offence Levi) :p

You Are A Professional Girlfriend!

You are the perfect girlfriend - big surprise!
Heaven knows you've had enough practice. That's why you're a total pro.
If there was an Emily Post of girlfriends, it would be you.
You know how to act in every situation ... to make both you and your guy happy.

What Kind of Girlfriend Are You?

Oh yes, I went and did it. Fell in love with the new iPod nano, upgraded with colours like the old iPod minis, and more storage. As I have been waiting for my chance to buy an iPod, since iPod minis which I wanted went of the market, I just had to grab it now. So I bought this beauty, an iPod nano, pink, 4GB. Just wonderful.

It has an ingraving on the back which says
God is Divine Love
[ciwi sin - *and my phonenumber here*]

so that's that.

And btw - I wanna thank God for blessing me so much through me giving.
I love You.

I am sick. :/ Went to see the doctor today and he gave me some penicillin. Yeah wow. So now i'm stuck at home burning with fever. Stupid fever. Have now missed 3 - THREE - Fillsong rehersals in a row, and i've lost my voice, so no singing on Saturday .. :/

But still, life is so good. God is so good :D

Yesterday Gunna and I stepped us as waitresses/kitchenpersonel in mr. Fålands 50th birthday. Lots of fun, except for the extremely hard floor in Misjonskirken. So today I have the soarest feet ever. I wanted to go to Kaleb's blessing today, but I just don't want to move out of the house.

Watching America's next top model season 5. Totally marathon on tellie.
Very lovely for a dull and relaxed Sunday..

have a g'day mate :)

nå er jeg så lei av alt sånn ha-det-bæsj-å-gråte-form. i alle former.. derfor skal man i dag snakke om de gode tingene i livet. for livet er en gave, og all god gave kommer fra Gud <3

Vi mennesker, inkludert undertegnede, er gala gode på å tenke negativt. et godt eksempel er "åneiånei, jeg har så lite jobb" når tanken egentlig burde vært "jeg er heldig som i det minste har en jobb, også får jeg bare kjempe for mer".
for vi har det godt. og det er ikke tull.

i tillegg er vi Guds skapninger. Han elsker oss mer enn noe annet. og det burde være langt nok for oss!

snu tankegangen folks. vi har det sabla herlig!
rejoice!

<3 love

vi tar'n på norsk i dag også.

jeg skal helt ærlig inrømme at jeg er redd. veldig mye til tider.
hva hvis man ikke får en jobb, hva hvis man ikke tjener nok penger til å finansiere. hvorfor forstår jeg ikke alt, hvorfor gjorde de sånn, hvorfor er ikke du her eller hvorfor er ikke jeg der, kommer jeg til å klare meg, når skal jeg bli ordentlig frisk..

noen ganger blir jeg så redd at jeg legger meg under dyna og tenker at jeg aldri skal komme ut igjen. men jeg kommer alltid ut.. på et vis. og det forundrer meg hvordan jeg, som har det så utrolig godt, kan være så nedtrykt av og til, når mennesker som blir forfulgt og torturert kan være så lykkelige. det får meg til å føle meg egoistisk og slem. fordi jeg vet at Gud er frelse. jeg vet at Gud er min styrke, min oppholder, min trøst, min glede. mitt alt.

<3 You go before me, You shield my way.

1 THE LORD is my Light and my Salvation - whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, [even then] in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple.
5 For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock.
6 And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; in His tent I will offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

Lyngdal - our beloved town (small, but oh yes a town) was on tellie today. because of a roadbump. our famous roadbump which obviously has a talent for killing car-engines. too high and too short.. and no car-driver who holds the 30 km/h restriction.

2006-08-16T22:51:00.000+02:00

i collected all the courage i could find today, and called my hairdresser.
- girl, i need to cut my hair.
i've never needed a cut so badly, and it's never taken this much courage.
a lot of hair will fall.. but i have to make the most of it.
at least it'll grow back.

.. i hope.

denne tar vi på norsk. til ære for alle mine elskede som reiser..

i går hadde vi bursdagsfest for anna og avskjedsfest for alle våre venner som flytter vekk for å studere både medie, Bibelen og musikk. jeg vet ikke hvordan andre hadde det, men for meg var det ganske vemodig. mennesker som jeg setter høyt og som jeg elsker av hele mitt hjerte, mennesker som jeg er vant til å se hver uke skal plutselig være borte. jeg skal ikke få bli velsignet med deres nærvær så mye som jeg har vært. samtidig er det ganske herlig. de skal få lære mye, oppleve store ting, lære Gud å kjenne mer, og få bli kjent med nye mennesker. og jeg får jo se de når de kommer hjem på ferie.. og thomas får jeg jo oppleve london med igjen :D

til alle som reiser fra meg.
jeg elsker dere. takk for at dere bringer så mye liv og glede inn i min verden. Gud velsigne dere på den veien Han har lagt for dere.

ikke glem oss her hjemme..

oversettelse til ære for alibali ;)

hva jeg vil at andre skal se i vår ungdom i menigheten.

* unge mennesker, hengitt, som legger sine liv [alle sine tanker, bekymringer og valg] på Gud, og stoler på Ham.
* unge mennesker som søker Gud først, og som forstår at alt vil bli gitt til dem.
* unge mennesker som setter seg selv til side, og som ber for Hans Rike komme.
* unge mennesker som streber etter å kjenne Gud mer, og som lengter for Hans sannhet i en fortapt verden.
* unge mennesker som forlater alt de er så deres Frelser kan leve gjennom dem.
* unge mennesker som stoler på Guds sannhet og som kjenner Hans frelse.

væssågo' bali ;)

# 12

2006-07-28T14:47:00.000+02:00

what i want others to see in our youth @ church::

* young people, devoted, who lay their lives [all their thoughts, worries and choices] on God, and trust Him.
* young people who seek God first, and who understands that all will be given to them.
* young people who puts them selves aside, and prays for His Kingdom Come.
* young people who seek to know God more, and long for His truth in a lost world.
* young people who abandon all they are so that their Saviour can live through them.
* young people who confides in God's truth and who knows His salvation.

we sing of who You are, King Jesus

i'm gonna meet Darlene Zschech in like two and a half months.
unbelievable!

excited? to meet the woman who has inspired me so much,
from whom i learned what it means to be a humble servant,
from who i understood what it is to be an extravagant worshiper?

no.. not at all.
seriously?

OF COURSE i am excited!!
weeeee :D

You're the one who gives me shelter
and You're the light that leads me home
You're the love that gave forever
..Lord, You're all that I know

and all that I am unto you I surrender
Lord, there is none like You
and I know that I stand in the arms of forever
Lord, there is none like You

with the world upon Your shoulders
Lord, You gave your life away
..if the world I know was over
I know I'd have life in the price You paid

and I will stand
and I will worship You forever
..for all You are
and I will stand
and all to You I will surrender
..I'll worship You forever
