Back in Japan

Well I´m back in Japan. It´s been a couple of interesting weeks..
On the plane back here from Norway, I couldn´t really smile, was honestly not happy to get back here..I was hoping it would change as I came closer and closer jo Japan...but it didn´t change.. I sat on the train from Tokyo till Iwaki...still not smiling..came to Iwaki...same feeling...Got home to my appartment...
No bugs in my appartment...I smiled:)
But still the feeling of getting back here was not good...
Went to work the next day, was happy to see everyone again...but, soo tired inside my heart...soo tired...felt like I had nothing to give...I went home that day...and cried...
Knew I had to deal with a problem that was hanging over me...knew it was that problem that held me down...
... and God is amazing, sooo AMAZING.
I came back here and it was soo many good things that had happend while I was in Norway..it was crazy. AMAZING.
And the problem is solved:) It was soo amazing.
AND then a new day started. A new day of sunshine and smiles and inspiration and joy..and hope:)
I LOVE JAPAN:)
We started up a "worship night" at Lighthouse now, two sunday evenings in the month and it´s sooo goood:) Nice fellowship and easy to bring friends to:) I like it soo much. Was there on sunday and really enjoyed it:)

Also I and us at Lighthouse want to say THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for the Japan day you guyes arranged for us. The money went to airconditions and a sink that we had to have:)
THANK YOU GUYES SOOO MUCH, if it wasn´t for you we would have fainted because of the heat, but now we are saved:)
We are soo greatful.
Life is good:)

Third week in Norway

Took a trip together with Tone, to meet our wonderful friend Kari that lives in London in England. We hanged out with her and her brothers band that were playing at some cool places. Was soo great. They played in a the club were kari usually works, in a second hand clothing shop and in a bar. Soo cool to just hang out together. On sunday we went to this church were I`ve always wanted to go, Glorious Undead. A christian fellowship that gathers together every sunday in the second floor of a bar. It was soo great worshiping God together with the people in the church. The pastor said some really good words about not letting the flame inside of you burn out...
After that we went to a consert together. The band playing was "Taking names" :) It was great. Always heard the names through friends so It was good finally got to hear them:)
Tone and I went back to Norway and to Oslo...and sleeeept...was sooo tired and laughed like too crazy...haha.
Then hanged out in Olso with friends.Had some meetings and got to see the wonderful family Øyvind, Hilde, Frida and Carina Haraldseid that helped me soo much when I first came to Japan. Was soo nice to see their new life in Norway.
Sub Church had a 10 year anniversary. And 15 bands that have been a part of Sub church trough the years played. It was amazing seeing everyone again. Everyone smiled and it seemed like everyone were glad to meet old friends☺
On sunday I went to Sub church for the meeting. The message was sooo good. I really needed to hear that message. And it was soo good to feel the love around me.
Then we went to a park to barbeque. WONDEFUL TIME in Oslo, eating breakfast with Ingvild, drinking smootie with Tone, bathing in the sea, hang out in parks with friends,and so on and so on...
Now I´m back in my hometown and gonna spend my last days here with my closest family.
So today I made onegiri, makisushi and miso soup for my parents. Was really fun seeing my dad eating the wasabi☺
