travel

in train traveling to Trondheim

squashed on 2 seats 3 people, Jens seated between me and Landi

about 2am, trying to stay awake with Jens in living room

on arrival in trondheim at 9pm, with all the lagguage...

Finally the stay at hald came to an end and we had to move to our practise places where we will live for the next 6months. It was not easy to leave but had to... we had to leave Mandal at 7.35am so that we catch the 9.10am train in Kristiansand to Oslo were we could connect to Trondheim.
the night before i attempted to stay up as long as i could because i knew i would sleep on the train since it would take us about 12hours to arrive but finally gave up at about 4am... thankfully me and my teammate had company of Hanne for some distance and Jens who also lives in Trondheim.
The journey was a lot of reflection from the stay at hald... we ended up squashing 3 people in 2seats because we wanted to stay together and chat the whole way. fellow passengers kept giving us confused looks but we refused to be bothered. Very thankful to God and Jens because he was quite helpful with the luggage, do not know how me and Landi would have managed... finally we arrive about 9.10pm and are picked up by a student
now getting settled in new place....

Quotes

The purpose of Christianity is not to avoid difficulty, but to produce a character adequate to meet it when it comes. It does not make life easy; rather it tries to make us great enough for life. -- James L. Christensen

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. -- Hebrews 11:1

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. -- Romans 10:9

When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him. -- Norman Vincent Peale

He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven. - Edward Herbert

Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness. -- Helen Keller

Let never day nor night unhallowed pass,
But still remember what the Lord hath done. -- William Shakespeare

God sweetens outward pain with inward peace.
—Thomas Watson

No wise man can expect that...God should diet us with a continual feast. It would neither suit with our health, nor the condition of this pilgrimage. Live, therefore, on your peace of conscience as your ordinary diet; when this is wanting, know that God appointeth you a fast for your health; and when you have a feast of high joys, feed on it and be thankful! But when they are taken from you, gape not after them as the disciples did after Christ at His ascension; but return thankfully to your ordinary diet of peace.
—Richard Baxter

Beware, I pray thee, of presuming that thou art saved. If thy heart be renewed, if thou shalt hate the things that thou didst once love, and love the things that thou didst once hate; if thou hast really repented; if there be a thorough change of mind in thee; if thou be born again, then hast thou reason to rejoice: but if there be no vital change, no inward godliness; if there be no love to God, no prayer, no work of the Holy Spirit, then thy saying “I am saved” is but thine own assertion, and it may delude, but it will not deliver thee.
—Charles Spurgeon

We all profess that we are bound for heaven, immortality, and glory: but is it any evidence that we really design it if all our thoughts are consumed about the trifles of this world, which we must leave behind us, and have only occasional thoughts of things above?
—John Owen

To bless God for mercies is the way to increase them; to bless Him for miseries is the way to remove them.
—William Dyer

The tenets of [the Christian life] seem paradoxes to carnal men; as first, that a Christian is the only freeman, and other men are slaves; that he is the only rich man, though never so poor in the world; that he is the only beautiful man, though outwardly never so deformed; that he is the only happy man in the midst of all his miseries.
—Richard Sibbes

Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits to and delights in God's wise and fatherly disposal in every condition.
—Jeremiah Burroughs

When God calls a man, He does not repent of it. God does not, as many friends do, love one day, and hate another; or as princes, who make their subjects favourites, and afterwards throw theminto prison. This is the blessedness of a saint; his condition admits of no alteration. God's call is founded upon His decree, and His decree is immutable. Acts of grace cannot be reversed.God blots out His people's sins, but not their names.
—Thomas Watson

Where reason cannot wade there faith may swim.
—Thomas Watson

How weak soever the believer finds himself, and how powerful soever he perceives his enemy to be, it is all one to him, he hath no more to do but to put faith on work, and to wait till God works.
—David Dickson
