Summer's over


And here I am. One week before school starts back up. I am looking forward to it more every day. This holiday has been relaxing and trying and exciting and boring and tiring and fun and really good. It's been one of those summers where nothing too much has happened, but it's been a rewarding summer. The highlight was definitely when my family came to visit and we went down to the Keys for a week. It was so relaxing and fun-filled that I'd drop everything and do it again in a heartbeat. (Except for the snorkelling trip which didn't agree with me..)


There's not really much to say, I feel. I'm just moving on with life, and having open ears about where God wants us to go after I graduate in May. I'd love to hear something soon so that I can tell everyone who asks me what I'm doing next year what I'm doing. Because so far I don't have a clue. We'll probably end up staying in the States for at least two more years so that Christen can finish his Bachelors degree as well.


Life is good, and I learn new things every day. I learn alot about God's will and God's plan, and how His will is perfect, at all times. I am humbly learning that He is sovereign, and knows what to do when we don't, and that He always has a plan and a good one, too.


"If you accept my words and store up my commands within you,
turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding,
and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,
and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,
then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." ~Proverbs 2

We have a new pastor at church, which is exciting. He is 36 and has 7 children! Crazy! Him and his wife seem very nice though, so I look forward to getting to know them better. We will most likely (God willing) be in the same show as we were in last year (The Singing Christmas Tree). It fits with our schedules perfectly, as it ends the day before we're flying to Norway. Yes, we have our tickets, and are very excited. We will arrive in Norway on Desember 16th. And then we travel to Engladn on the 18th until the 22nd to meet Granny and Granddad. We are super thrilled that we get to take that trip!


Well, I shall leave you for now. When something more exciting happens I will let you know. God bless~And remember He always knows best!

    Nice blog, Marianne! Yes, it was a fabulous time we had together in the summer!- and especially in the Keys! Our gekkos are up on the veranda wall, they look good there and are a nice memory of Florida. Looking forward to your next blog. Good luck to you and Christen with your next term at school!
    Love from Mamsen.
