Encourachment..

Had an awesome evemng at prayinggroup yesterday!! we ate & talked and had some worship as usual but then, instead of reading something in the Bible and talk about the text, we had an "encourachment moment". We wrote notes to eachother with things that we see in eachother that is good and we want to encourach. We waited with reading until we got home. Oh my, it was awesome and so uplifting :It's strengthning to read what other see in you. Some wrote things I hadn't thought about and some things that people has said before.. now it's just to take it in and ponder and let it sink in.

Have had an up & down week otherwise.. on Thursday I was dead tired and not feeling 100% well but went to work anyway.. then I went to Alingsås to see my mum & sister who was visiting my brother with family.. soo nice to see them but I was so tired and felt strange. Felt Like I had fever but I didn't. My sister-in-law said that you can get feverlike symtoms out of pollenallergy, so that's probably what I had. Well, I took the train back after a few hours, slept on the train and felt a little better so I went to church where we had worship and tuition about prayer & healing. A really interesting and giving night!!! God was there and some amazing things happend!! :)

On Friday I still didn't feel good so I called in sick at work and layd in my pyjamas in front of the TV the whole day.. were so tired and just felt strange. Took a short walk in the afternoon just to get some air, then I went to my brother's place to see mum and sister and the rest some more. felt like I could lay in their sofa and have company instead of laying by myself in my sofa.. stayed over night and spent the whole saturday there. It was so nice!! :) just hang out, play & cuddle with my nieces and so. Mum & I went to town(Alingsås) and walk around some and had coffee at a cefé. Sooo nice but made me miss Alingsås :(

On Sunday I just rested and took it easy. Danced some which after a while made me capitulate and start to cry.. it was sooo nice to let go of everythjng and just let the feelings come out and to start over and refocus on God & let hom refill me. . I felt better then a few days before so I went to church. The youthgroup had the service.They had planned it well and made it come out really good!! They are awesome thoose youths. Such hearts for God!! so good & encouraching to see!! awesome worship by Michale Johnsson..

Yesterday I went to the dentist. no cavities :) sooo relieved!!! then I had lunch and ice-cream with Sara out in the sun. So nice!! the weather were so ncie so we just had to enjoy it :) and then it was prayinggroup, which I already have written about.

That was my week. I'm still a little tired but I feel much better and it feels like I'm getting on trach again. At least I hope so. And it's just one more day of work then I'm of for 5 days! :) going to a conference in Halmstad, so excited and thrilled!! will be an awesome weekend I think!!

take care..

stupid pollen..

So sick of my runny & itchy eyes and nose- stupid pollen!! I have never been allergic or sensitive to pollen before but this year it said "bang" and I'm really allergic. I eat medicine and use "nose spray"(don't know if that's the right english word) but it hasn't helped that much :( on Monday I took the bike to my danceclass. baaad idea!! :( the pollenallery made me feel like I didn't get enough air and made the class hard & not fun.. and yesterday I went to a class at the gym with a friend. It was even harder and felt worse then the danceclass... sigh.. well, hopefully it's over soon..

I have booked tickets to my trip to the U.S!!! :) I'm really excited & happy but at the same time so unshure if I shall go.. would really like to spend summer here with my friends and in Delsbo. Had some thoughts for the summer and it happens lots of stuff I wanna attend, but I really wanna be at the Stewarts too... sigh.. why am I always so vacillating?? most of stuff I wanna do and have thought of I can do next summer but this would probably be the last time I can help my "family" out & spend a long time there.. you don't spend every summer "over there"..

I have been cleaning as usual this week and I'm sooo tired.. it affects me so much to get up this early..I don't like it but I have too and I like my colleagues & the kids are adorable so I guess that has to be my motivation & carrot... It's just 2 months until I end work.. :)

well that´s all for now.. enjoy the spring & the sun!!! :)

Going to the states..

I'm going to "the states" again!!! :) have decided to go and help my "family".. so glad that they asked. It will be awesome to see them all, miss them so much!!!! I'm a little sad though that I won't spend summer with my friends and be able to do things with them.. feels wierd and I had some plans, but it's not every year you get to spend the whole summer in the U.S.. :)

Work yesterday was just fine. Went to a theatre with some of the kids. They looved it :) we took the bus down to Partille and watched the theatre and then we took the bus back.. the kids were so good and behaved. They loved the show and were so exited!! :) then we were outside and played before lunch and after lunch my day was over... sweat :)
Walked by church and said hi to my friend and got some things done.. then I walked by Susanne & Andreas. Got some coffee and ice-cream.. yuuum!! :) then my intention were to go home when Susanne drove one of girls to her clarinetclass, but Susanne said I could stay and have supper.. so I did. Nice to have someone to eat with and not have to cook and eat by yourself. It was an awesome afternoon in the sun and in nice peoples company!! :)

Tomorrow Sara and I are going to look for a borthdaypresent to Alexandra.. then it´s Alexandra´s birthdayparty in the evening. :)
have a good one..

Wednesday..

I feel awesome and are enjoying the incredible weather!!! :)
have been awesome days since I last wrote.. On my way home from work on Friday I went by Alexandra´s place. Sat down in her sofa and there I got stuck for the rest of the evening.. we were both very tired but it was so nice to just sit and relax together!!!

On Saturday it was "my church´s" annual district meeting at Hjälmared. It was a good meeting, so nice to see Hjälmared again and the people I know there!! especialy the ones in the kitchen.. :) After the meeting I followed my sister-in-law to a small church where she had a seminar.. I babysat Märta, my niece.. she slept most of the time so it was easy :) stayed at Erik & Sofias place over night and hung out there on Sunday. Watched handboll and took a short walk with Maja & Anna and Sofia. Erik worked. It was awesome just to be there, have someone to eat breakfast & dinner with.. love that place.. so beutiful and relaxing!!
Then I went to church.. good mass. And it was awesome to dance again!!! :) me and three more danced the blessing.. =) instead of taking coffee and sandwish at church after the mass me, Alexandra and some more friends went to Sara´s place and had pizza(yuum!!) and just hung out.. nice!!

Monday and yesterday I worked with the kids the whole days!!! sooo much fun!! had to go straight from work to prayinggroup on Monday so yesterday I just wanted to get home after work. Felt like I hadn't seen my apartment for some days except when I have been sleeping.. so nice to be home and do some dishes and and just be :)

Wood anemones..

Hey you all.. just felt like posting and had to take the opportunity when I had the energy and creativity :)

when I walked home from work today I saw the first wood anemones(vitsippa) this spring.. made me so happy and joyful!!! :) springtime.. wee!!

Just have to post some pics from Maria, Saras and mine shopping spree to Ullared on Monday too.. we had a good time!! it was really nice to get away for a few hours. Found a new jacket, some underwear, schampo, knee long jeans for the spring/summer and some more small things.. :)

Maria is driving..

The two Maria in the front seat.. and

Sara in the backseat..

just have to tell.. got an really nice, encouraching and fun e-mail from Vera and Scott(my hostparents during my year as an-aupair) yesterday. I have been planing to go on a conference in Chicago in June and then I was going to visit them. So far so good and as planned. But now they asked if I could stay the whole summer and help them out with the kids, ´cause the one they have now leaves in the end of June, I'm so glad & excited :) would be awesome to spend the summer there!! the only problem is that I work until July 4:th and they need me from June 20.th. Had a chat with my employer today and she didn't seem totally negative to make it work in some way :) really wanna go!! =)

Worked with the kids today- looots of fun, but they are a handful, they are all over the place. Good thing they are so adorable and charming or one shouldn't stand it :) after work I went to the mall, walked into an old schoolmate from Hjälmared. We took a quick coffee. Nice!! the rerst of the afternoon-evening I have spent at home. Have watched tv, had waffles for supper and I have gone through my wardrobe. So now I'm gonne go to the basement with the stuff I rinsed out..

Awesome weekend..

Have had a great weekend.. so much fun :)
had the early shift at work on Friday so I ended at 2pm .. nice!! walked home, relaxed, watched tv and so.. in the evening some friends came by and hung out in the tv-sofa with me. Nice :) Fredrik brought raspberrypie and vanillasauce,.. yuuum!!

On Saturday I met with my nieces Maja and Anna on the train at 9.30. We went to this huge indoor playplace in Gothenburg.It's called "play and prank/mischiefcountry" (lek & buslandet in Swedish). You can chech out their website at http://www.lekobus.se/
We had so much fun!! It was such a blast!! They have many slides, things where you have to climb, crawl, keep your balance or other things to get through and move forward. My arms are sore today after all the climbing and playing...
They are so sweat my darlings; when we were done playing and called Sofia, their mum, on the way to my place they said: "Mum, you can't come and pick us up yet, we wanna stay at Maria´s place for a while by ourselfs. We call you later". Isn't it adorable :) So they got their wlll and we watched 2 movies while we relaxed for a few hours in my sofa before Sofia came and picked them up. They were extatic and toatlly up in the air and the words just flew our fo their mouths when they told Sofia about the day..
The evening I spent in front of the telly by myself.. so nice! I was exhausted but happy after an awesome day with my nieces. Love them so much,... to bad Elin isn't with us anymore :( miss her..

Today I have been to IKEA with a friend, found some stuff :) It was nice to see Carin again, haven't seen her for a while.. Then I went to church, awesome service!! And after the churchcoffee it was floorball/indoor bandy. We haven't played for about 2 months because the place were we play has been flooded and have had problems with the electricity ´cause of that, so it was so much fun to play again. :)

Now it's time to sleep.. tomorrow I'm probably going to Ullared with Maria, and maybe Sara.. then I think we're going out to eat in the evening to celebrate Maria´s birthday.. will be nice!!

Take care and have a good week..
xoxo

Thursday..

Sitting here in front of the telly and try to keep my eyes open.. I'm tired but satisfied and happy. Have been a good week..

The weekend continued as calm and relaxing as it started. Went to a housewarmingparty on saturday evening and church on Sunday evening. That was basicl what I did during the weekend.. sooo nice just to be home and get som things done and just relax!! After church on Sunday some friends came by and we had ice-cream, talked and played a boradgame.. Really nice and fun!

On Monday I made some phonecalles, applied to a conference and so... then my friend Jenny came by for lunch and we danced. We're going to attend a workshop on the 26:th and we will also teach a dance. Nervous but exciting and thrlling. Never done that before so it's a challange but it wll be fun!!

I have only worked my regular hours and cleaned one day this week. Yesterday and today I have worked with the kids at my job instead of cleaning. It has been awesome :) just so much fun, especially today!!! they are sooo cute and adorable! and it has been so nice not to have to get up at 5am.. gonna work with the kids tomorrow too *joy* ..but it's because of a sad cause I get to work extra- my friend & colleague had such bad stumach ace yesterday so she went to the hospital where they discovered that she had a cyst that had burst so they kept her and today she has went to surgery :( poor thing.. hope she recovers soon !!

Looking forward to a fun and relaxed weekend!! gonne take care of two of my nieced on Saturday and in the evening I'm gonna hang out with friends probably..:) otherwise nothing planned.. feels nice!!

well.. that's it for now..
