Challenges and changes;

Hello again my dear readers. It’s been a while since I wrote on my blog now, but here I am again. I have thought a bit about what to write. There has been many things, stories and thought that I have had wanted to share with you people. In the heading it’s said challenges and changes and you might think that I have some challenges with the culture, but actually no. Most of the time things are going very good and I’m at a good place and am experiencing many good things. At the moment I’m experiencing a very good period of my time here in Malawi. Normally at this time of the year I have a long post with some big thought and opinions, this post will have to wait till after the new year has passed this time. Here are some short thoughts that are in my mind at the moment:


Firstly there is the point of changes. Before going to Malawi I had some people at home that knew me extremely good. Even though I am the same person there are some things that have changed. Some things that I have seen, some things I have done, some things I should have done, but didn’t do. This may sound very strange, and it is, but the fact is that when you are away from people over a longer period, you start to change without your normal surroundings and without the normal people around you. This was probably very bad explained, but it’s something that is on my mind quite a lot

To my second point. This is something I write as much for you, the reader, as for myself. This might sound strange, but it is true. Because by writing this I lay more pressure on myself. I face a challenge witch, for me at least, is quite big. It is something that a have to choose to do. Something that I won’t fall into, but have to actively go into. I think God has called me to do something, but I am, for the first time while in Malawi, scared. I know what I should do, know what is right to do, but the challenge is to do it. Therefore I hope that you will pray for me this coming weekend because this is something I feel certain is right to do, but know that it’s not a easy thing for me to do. Earlier today I felt empowered by God and that is good because I think I need a lot of that to do what I plan to do. In my time of thinking of this challenge there was one sentence that came to my mind. It’s from a children song, but my thought goes only to the first part of the first sentence of the refrain (sorry to my non-Norwegian speaking friends, it’s in Norwegian). And with this sentence I will finish my post.

For Jesus spør om du er tøff nok
