Staff-Trip to Krakow, Poland

The whole base made this years staff trip to Poland. First to share faith, have fun and fellowship and to see if God opens a door for new and future possibilities of working there. It has been a really good time together with new imputs in family live and fun. The Citiy is so alive, modern and more than i thought. Creativity is bursting, which really makes my heart become alive. We had nice weather and heared a lot of testemonies and stories from the local people, christians and chruches. We really got inspired and i am excited what the future is bringing to Poland and its people.

A new season starts

With coming back from the summer in the States and Germany I am starting in a new period of Staffing in Youth with a mission. I am filled and i feel ready to dive into the next weeks of preperations for our students. Even I am still processing all the impressions a long the way, I am excited what it will bring. A new season has started. I know it. I feel it. A new part of my journey, from the head to the heart.

Travelling Testemony Vol.2

I meet with my family and enjoy the time with them and so 1,5 days later i am back on my way to Germany for a 2 weeks "vaccation". I make my way to the airport, check in and infront of the security check i see a sevice stand from SAS where i could ask for my lost luggage.

A short view on the clock tells me don´t do it its to less time. Disappointed i walk through security towards the gate. 10 meters before it another SAS Service. A big smile is laying on my face. When i approach a lady a little bit older than me.
She looks at my case while her co-worker tells her to have a break. ( He was in a bad mood). I am glad that she tells him no and turns towards me, smiling, hold on a second i will call. Within minutes she finds my bag in the underground of the airport and asks me if i want to check it in or if they should sent it home. I am laughing about this paradox and continue my travel.

Two weeks later back in Skien i have all my treasures from the summer together with me in one place.

Travelling Testemony

On my way from the States back to Norway where i was supposed to meet my parents for some hours, I had a godly experience:

My Plan was that after my plain would arrive in Oslo Airport i would have 1,5 hours to come through customs and take the train to my Ywam-Home. It would give me some time before my family would arrive to shower and unpack, maybe sleep a little after the jetleg and than receive them. All started to change right in the beginning when our plain in Newyark already had an one hour delay. We arrived in Oslo and i so had only 30 minutes to reach my train. It should have been possible, because the airport is quite small.

So I stand at the baggage belt and pray. In the middle of my conversation with god i am reminded on a stroy from a friend of mine who layed hand on the belt and prayed that the belt would start running. For a second I consider to do the same until i hear its starting to work. Thank God i got spare of it.
I am waiting but the time runs and i see my train leaving. In the same moment i don´t know if i should cry, be mad or laugh. My next thought what if they lost my suitcase? I look around and realize the last people are leaving. What a self prophecying statement... The SAS-Service is registering me and i make my way out of the airport.

I have 30 minutes until the next train leaves and i still need a new ticket so I walk up to the counter, drop my luggage infront of an older man and tell him: I am sorry Mr. I missed my train and lost my luggage can you help me? The man is looking at my ticket and tells me what i allready thought. I need to buy a ne ticket (around 500 Kroner!!) I am on the way to start crying when he intensly looks at me. To not show him my tears i reach for my wallet and tell him: well, i need to come home with the next train so there seems no other way than paying. He still sits there and stirs at me. I have the last tears coming up and he sits there and stirs in my eyes. Than he reaches for my ticket and starts writing. I feel like back in the bible, when Jesus just writes in the Sand and all the others are watching, questioning what he is doing.
He passes the paper back: Take the next train and dont mention your luggage. I am confused, pack my stuff and move towards train, when i look at the ticket that says: Misunderstanding, Info wrong. New valid for next train.

Thank you God, for this angle that you sent for me! For the present of not buying another ticket but giving it to me for free ;-)

Trust

I´m standing at the window,
my heart hurts and Tears are
finding their way down my cheeks.

You are standing behind me
and your warmth is slowly
warming my back.

Softly is your hand touching my
shoulder and I lean slowly back,
trusting, you let me rest on the
strong shoulders of yours.

Cry out

My heart is filled with uncried tears
an overwhelming longing for intimacy.


I scream out, I need you!


I am overflowing and my thoughts
are overtaking and fogging
my thinking.


I cry out, I need you!


Softly you lift up this veil 
of sorrows and tears,
until I can see you.


I know, I need you!


Peace and new hope 
is surrounding me.


I am sure, I have you!

Song 2

Father, you are the bird that 
sings for me.
Father, you are the one that
designs my melody.


For me your world stands still.
You find me as a treasure.
Even under a 1000, you try
to catch a glimpse of me.


And nothing matters for me,
than this sweet tast of
your presence. 
Nothing matters for me.
