Two nice pictures...

Look at this picture.
I found it at the web, and it's called "Colourful Sunset".
It's quite beatiful...

Then:
Look at the picture below:

It's qutie similar to the one above...
And it's taken 3,5 km from my house :)


God has made a very beautiful world.
Thankyou!

"GOD DOESN'T EXIST!!!"

... an anonymous person said in a commentary at my last post.

WOW!
I was challenged! Inspired! Excited!

Why?
Pourquoi?
¿Por qué?

First the feeling of being challenged. The easiest way of meeting a challenge like this is a bit childish, but it expresses your opinion in one sentence: I believe God does exist.

The challenging part is "How can I say that God does exist?".
Well, mr X over here didn't argument about why God doesn't exist, so why should I? Am I able to convice anybody anyway? If I say the universe is too incredible to not have been designed and constructed by somebody with an higher IQ than us, would anyone get convinced? If I told you that 174 000 people today decide to follow Jesus, existing-God's own Son, would it change your decition? If I said I've been healed for migrene when I was younger, and that lamb, deaf and blind people get healed in Jesus' name every day, would you accept the doctor's papers, or would you try to explain it in other ways? If I told you I know God, would you believe me or think I'm insane? I don't want to write another long school article about the topic (have just finished one about arranged and forced marriage), so I'll leave the questions to you, the reader...

I was inspired! To keep telling things about God when I have the opportunity. I really should take the opportunity more often.

I was exited!
I realize people don't know God the same way as I do, so I was inspired because I see how lucky I am. WOW! Think about it! I, an ordinary - or quite ordinary - girl without any special status in this world, KNOW God, the One who has the highest status in the universe!!! You might claim He dosen't exist; you don't get above Him anyway. I think all people can get to know God, they just have to give Him the chance. He does no break-ins, you see! But do you dare to give Him a chance? It might rock up your life a bit...

When you have such a certainty about God's exist that I have, you don't think thoughts like that. It's logical: If you know the air is there, you don't make an effort thinking that "the air doesn't exist!", especially when you know that you need the oxygen which is in the air to keep breathing and living. For me it's exactly the same with God. Without Him; no me. I wouldn't have existed if He didn't.

Party, party...!

Friday night we had a little gathering, a little party in a way, at my house.
The keywords were Christians at my school, lasagne, salad and white bread, talking, smiling and laughing.

Some weeks ago, the New Generation group at our school decided to arrange a party for the Christians at our school. Not to exclude others, but to make a stronger unity among the ones who believes in Jesus at the school.
To realize this, we put up a list consisting of names on "supposed Christians". Then we planned, made posters and invitations, and waited...

Seven out of the 15 names we'd put up on list, were able to come. Some just couldn't come because of other things, like journeys. This was anyway an excellent number of people to make a relaxed setting. Though I was the hostess, I felt like I could relax (which was very nice after a quite busy school day..).

I think everybody agreed that this sort of gathering should be repeated.

... just the beginning...

Longing back to Saint-Malo...
Intra-Muros...

Sweet!

A Norwegian lesson out of the ordinary

Our Norwegian teacher fainted today...!

She said she didn't feel well and asked the class to behave extraordinary calm and quiet... She started the roll call, and was half way to the end when she stopped and leant her back against the chair while closing her eyes. The class became more and more quiet... Then she opened her eyes again, and continued the roll call, but with greater problems. She quitted again, and rested her head and arms against the desk in front of her. It was weird. I suggested to my friend that we maybe should go after somebody. But then our teacher suddenly fell sidewards onto the floor.

We were quick, though. A couple of girls ran to her at once, while some other of us ran after grown-ups. The situation was quite weird, a bit creepy, and seemed in a way fake. We were told to leave the classroom, and were updated from time to time.

She regained consciousness after a little while, and sat up by herself. The ambulance came, and she went to the doctor.

Our poor teacher! She wanted to continue the lecturing after she "woke up"! She's that kind of person who hates staying at home by reason of sickness, but now she needs to be home until Thursday...

This incident made me think about two things:

* That I, when she fainted, actually didn't know exactly what to do, the right way to react, (that's maybe why I ran after some grown-ups instead) - what if I come into a more serious situation later, which require me to act even more quicker? What if it is about life and death? Hello! I even wondered if it was the right thing to give an unconscious person water!! My knowledge is really imperfect at this field...

* That some people don't know they're own limitations and that this could harm them very badly some day (even though everything went very well this time, after all...)

Good things happens

During the last week, a lot of good things have happened.

E.g. last Friday, when I had a long talk about Jesus, God, the gospel, sin, the Old Testament, the New Testament (and the difference), ++, with a good friend.

Or Tuesday, when the school year's first praying meeting gathered six people - twice the number of people normally gathered last year.

Or yesterday, when a girl I often talk to at the bus, came together with me to 3pStation, our church's youth group.

Or today, when New Generation at my school arranged a stand in the canteen, which made our school mates in a good mood, and moreover gave a friend of me the ability to preach the gospel to some of her class mates.

Back to school...

Yesterday: First day at school. A lot of talking from our always-talking-Norwegian-teacher-who-this-year-will-teach-not-
only-Norwegian-but-also-citizenship-and-because-of-that-she's-
going-to-talk-in-not-lesser-than-eight-of-my-school-lessons--
teacher...
BUT also a lot of nice talking to my school mates who I haven't seen since June! :D That was nice :)

Today: The school year's first lessons...
Spanish, Chemistry and Maths.
I had to concentrate more than usual during the Spanish lesson today, since I studied French this summer... (It's "Me llamo Silje," not "Je m'appelle Silje", and "ahora," not "maintenant"... hehe ;P)

We've got homework. Already. In all today's subjects. But not much. Luckily.

I have a new teacher in Maths this year! I'm very satisfied, because last year's teacher made me feel like Maths was boring (and I know it really isn't...). It seems like Maths is going to be more interesting this year...

We have got four new students in our class. One of the new girls is taking Maths, Physics and Chemistry, so probably we'll do some co-operating :)

At Friday we're going to make body lotion in Chemistry.
Cool!

Vacation

I've been away from cyber world for a looong time, but now I've received my new Tundra 1500K, so hopefully things will improve... :)

It's Sunday.
It's a nice day.
The sun is shining.

School starts tomorrow... :P

I've made my decition!

Yesterday I ordered a Tundra 1500K!
It was even recommended for exactly what I am going to use it for!!!
I found it just after I had been looking at the Fujitsu Siemens for a while.. It was really a coincidence! Or maybe it was a God-incidence...??
The design is much cooler, don't you think?
And it was 1500 kr cheaper than the other one.
I actually want this one! :)

I'm back... And I'm looking for a new laptop...

Hi folks!!

I've been away for a long, long time...
But enough about that - I don't have time at the moment to tell you about anything that has happened during the last 6 weeks...

But: I'm looking for a new laptop...
And today I found this one (I discovered that my last favourite (Acer Aspire) didn't have firewire, etc...).
It's a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro V2085 - and it's not that expensive either. As I can see, it has "everything" that I need. The only thing I don't like, is the design - which I think is quite boring...

If anyone has any experiences with this laptop (or other Fujitsu Siemens laptops), please tell me!

I need it to:

• edit films (with Studio 9...) (that's why I need 80 GB and 1024 MB RAM...)
  
• write!
• surf the internet (as quick as possible... ;P)
• listen to music (not that important..)
  
• look at pictures/photos, etc...
• study French...
• ... and a lot more that I don't remember at the moment...

Thanks! :)
