Peek-a-BOO!!

So i have gone through a lot of craziness about Norway. emotionally i mean. excitement. stress. terror. sadness. anxiousness. joy. but for the past month i have been terrified. I am scared to death about leaving my love, Tomas, behind. Fears of feel so so so alone. fears of teachers being annoyed that i don't know Norwegian. Fears that some of the kids are gonna dislike me because i am American. Basically, i am afraid of the first 3 months. But, i am starting to get better. I have been encouraged by many friends that have helped me deal with some of my fears. I think what i really need to do is pray.

I do know people in Norway, and a family right near my school. But i need to pray that the Lord will give me friends there BEFORE i even go there! or kindred spirits that i will be able to befriend easily. especially my room mate!! i really need to pray away these fears and have faith in the LORD that He will help me through it all. I have seriously considered canceling the trip because i am SO SCARED! But fear is not a good reason. I am pretty darn confident that going to Norway is what the LORD wants me to do. Mr. Buttface Satan is trying to scare me away from it!!! man, that means i MUST go! if Satan does not want me to do it, that means GOOD will come out of it.


i need focus and prayer in my life. i need a support group here to prepare me for Norway, but i don't know who to turn to. Please! if you feel like you would be willing to help me prepare spiritually for this trip to Norway, tell me!! cuz i really have no clue who to ask.

FIN!

Saving up for Norway is pretty hard with no job. i have been selling knitted/crochetededed things and i have made a decent amount of money off of that. Plus babysitting. But babysitting is ending soon. lame. So i need to figure out more ways to keep making money. I have thought about doing a support letter and stuff. i just added myself into the database of some research/survey place that pays for research stuff. unfortunately, that is not too often, if ever. so here is the idea:

get sponsored. i heard a story from a friend that she knew some kid that was doing a study abroad program and he contacted apple and said Hey apple. i will wear apple t-shirts and promote apple stuff while in this other country if you sponsor me and help me pay. apparently apple paid for his whole trip. i do not know if this is 100% true or how he went about it. I called up the other day to figure out how apple goes about sponsoring people. the operator lady gave me the e-mail address of the sponsor person, but she only said it once and i don't know if i got it all down right. plus i don't know what to write. SO! if anyone has info on this, please do tell!!

oh i got an e-mail from hedmarktoppen today. i don't know what it says yet. =P yay.


well then.

So a few people have told me to make a blog for when i go to Norway. Yes it is a while before i go to Norway, but i figured there were other things leading up to norway that may be fun to write about. it will help me process through it at least. so yeah. first post. we'll see if i keep this up at all. meow.
