Edinburgh
My brother and I had a laugh at the names of these two places lying diagonally in a cross road. I guess you'd have to be Norwegian to understand. -or maybe just very silly.

I was in Edinburgh together with mom, dad and Einar, my brother, in the beginning of July. I loved it! I'm going to post a few pictures from the trip over the next few days.

Taking this picture was one of the first things I did when I got there. It's taken very close to the hotel we stayed at.
















There were lots of these flowers there.
It won't be long now before I move to Bergen to go to bible school. I am so excited about it. I think God is going to be teaching me a great deal of things, and it's going to be so good for me. I have two main expectations for my bible school year. The first thing is of course that I'll learn to know God and his word better. A lot better. The second thing is that I believe he will show me more of what direction my life will take. It's been a while now where I haven't known at all what I'd be doing in a year or two, or even ten years. But lately God has brought up some old dreams of mine and even given me some new ones, and I am so excited to see what more he has to say about that.
I have only two days left at my job in the supermarket, and even though I have really liked my job, I am so excited about quitting, because I can't wait to see what God has planned for me in Bergen. I really feel like this coming year is going to be a really important year for me.

I am so blessed with many good friends. This summer I get to live with my friends Inger Kari and Iselin at Sagene in Oslo. They are both away this week, but now my friend Kaja stays here as well. Today her boyfriend Lars Martin has been here, and we have had dinner together. Yesterday I was at the beach together with Kaja, Lars Martin and my other friends Selja, Kjetil and Paul among others. The weather was beautiful and we had a good and relaxing time. After that some of us watched a movie (which unfortunately was really poor). This is what is so great about summer. -friends, hanging out, the beach, active days outside and late nights with movies and talking inside.
And then there is books. Good books. Lots of good books.
