Serving the poor.. praying for the poor... The bible is clear on this.. it's sooo challenging.

Jer. 22:3. Do justice and righteousness, and deliver the one who has been robbed from the power of his oppressor. Also do not mistreat or do violence to the stranger, the orphan, or the widow; and do not shed innocent blood in this place.

Luke 12:33. "Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves purses which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near, nor moth destroys."

Luke 3:11. And [John the Baptist] would answer and say to them, "Let the man with two tunics share with him who has none, and let him who has food do likewise."

Mt. 5:42. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.

God has been taking me to a new place with Him these days. And He is opening my eyes to a lot going on in the world. And also the need for us to do something.. practically live a life full of love for our neighbor. Live unselfishly.. Not pursue our own selfish living....We have our time on the earth..and no one knows how long we get to be here.
I know that God has something in store for me when I move to the US.. but more importantly He has something to say RIGHT NOW.. He is stirring me up, my heart.. towards those who don't know Him, and does not have freedom.
It's kind of a burden on my heart right now.. I see so much unrightousness all over the world.. and it makes me sick to my stomach. I know that God is stirring me in this for a reason, and I am excited to see what He has for me..
Right now I know my prayers and stirring of heart is what and where I need to be!



My prayer for today is this!

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

For those who don't know where I am.. I am currently in Vancouver. Been here since July basically.. had my visa problems to move to the states and get married there.. so I can't go the US till I get the visa I need...
Got married 2 times already, but is still not legally married.. wow.. crazy life. :)
God is good though. We had the most amazing wedding in Fernie, and it was such a blessing to see a bunch of my family and GX family and friends there! It was truly the perfect day! so thankful.


So yeah, I'm here in Vancouver and I have a lot of time on my hands here.. I can't work here cause I don't have a work visa. And I will be going back to Norway in about a month and will hopefully finish my visa stuff for the US then - (please keep my visa in prayer)

But a lot of my time here has been alone, Sierra has been traveling quite a bit.. he has his first signature shoe coming out soon, so he has a lot going on. He is as I'm writing in Las Vegas for the Lost Vegas conference that a friend of us Ryan is hosting: EXITCONCERTS.COM

I have been spending lots of time in prayer and worship.
Right now I'm tuning in on THEPRAYERROOM.TV
It's from The International House of Prayer in KC where I would spend lots of my time as a staff with GX International. It is so so great! I would recommend everyone to sign up for a 24/7 prayer room online!

I'm reading a book called: The Challenge for Africa
and it has really opened my eyes to a lot. Fair trade is one of those things. I've been researching about it online. And wow. This is such an important cause. REALLY!
It lights something within me. I really want to make people aware of what's going on in the world - how important it is to do fair trade!
Make sure to ask if your coffee is fair trade the next time!

New blog for the international life:)

Sooo... this used to be my norwegian blog, which I thought about keeping since it's been up for many many years. And I was also thinking about doing the blog just to keep my norwegian language/writing skills fresh.. hehe..
But I thought it would be good for all my loved ones all over the world.. to do a english one.
This blog will be a lot of me sharing my life, my walk with God, my thoughts and yeah what's up.. basically...
I know Sierra can be the hardest to get a hold of, and a lot of times people ask me what he's doing and what next big thing is happening.

so here it is:) enjoy!
