Walking

Wow, we are really a walking people over here! I have been working three days this week that means that I have been walking to work 30 min. and home from work 30 min. and at work going for a walk to exercise the person I working with. So the last three days I have been walking for at least 5 hours. And that's just for work. In this five hours I did not include to go to buy food, and to go to my friends house to do my landury (since I can't find where Nina usually does her landury.)
People are stearing at me when I buy Pepsi and chips and stear eaven more when they see that I'm eating it eaven if it's not weekend. It's like I'm the worst sinner ever. (Eaven the non christians are looking at me like I'm a great sinner!)
People in Sweden could really need to go to America to get some freedom! Wow, we Swedish people are so stuck in traditions and habits that we judge others that are going beyond this unspoken rules.
It's really fun to watch your own cultur and laugh at yourself. I can see me in so many of them and think "am I really like that?" and realise that I am.
I will never forget how people were stearing at me driving my scooter with wide open eyes and somtimes mounth and how I probably did the same thing watching people eating chips for lunch for real!
But now I think I'm changeing. I love to walk, but I do love chips and soda. So last week I didn't have time to make some bread for breakfast so I had some chips and milk and this morning I had bread but the milk was all gone so I had Pepsi.
In the ears of a Swede that's probably horrible, in my mounth it tasted wounderful. You Swedes don't be so hard on your self! You Americans don't laugh to much at us beeing silly!

It's good to be back to see my friends here and at the same time I miss all my American friends so much. I'm glad I got to meet Pastor Jeff this week. WOW, that was great teaching! And tomorrow I get to hear Pastor Jeff again. I'm excited!

And who knows, if the sun is out I might walk home from church! It's just an hour of walking...

Back in Sweden

My last few weeks have been quite intence. So today I have a day off, no cellphone nothing that can take my time. This is the day I really realised that I'm back in Sweden! It took me five days to come to that insight... I didn't want to accept that I had to leave America, the school, the church, my friends. It almoast made me depressed, but I decided to not go there so that's why I have a day off.
I needed to fix myself. That's what Rebeckah told me in bible collage when I needed to pray. "Go and fix yourself!" So today I'm going through my life, cover everything in prayer. Laughing and crying with God! My focus is back in the right pocission and I'm ready to recieve and give the Love of God again.
Today the Holy Spirit told me so many things as I was reading through the book of John. As I was readig He reminded me of the song that says I'm trading my sorrows for the joy of the Lord... Yesterday He made me qoute the joy of the Lord is my strength. Somtimes it's just there and I rejoice when I speak it out loudly, but yesterday rivers of tears and a great pain in my heart told me that what God says is true wheter I feel it or not!
I Love to have time with God when I'm not in a hurry. Today I'm not on my way. Nothing that that takes my time more than bible reading, praying and worshipping! It's a wounderful day! And believe me, to be in the presence of the all Mighty God does fix everything! And to say that the Joy of the Lord is my strength is no longer a struggle, it's a pleasure, it's a gift, it's an honour! It's the work of my Dad, my Lord and my Saviour!
