Hey guys!

I had a swell time this week.I met some of the kids i have been working with and visiting over my stay here.They did a fantastic show and thus went to congratulate them!

One of them gave me a band written WWJD!

Of course i have seen this before but it came to me in a new light.I have read the book In his steps that develops this discipleship ideal.

As if God was not done with me.I met my mentor and he challenged that i must always look at Jesus in the eyes.I was startled coz the idea that Jesus actually lives in my room and ever present sounded new.But i new all this before why does it sound new.

It is one thing to believe these things and the other to live them out.I challenged myself to always look at Jesus in the eye and see if i have the confidence to  say these words.I know you died for me  but i will still do what am doing.I will still say what am saying.I will still write what am writing.I will still read what am reading.I will still listen to what am listening. 

 

 

 

Wondering what it feels like

Being a highlight in the streets of Kampala

Tracking hardstreet boys in Alalay

Cruising the jungles of Peru.

Sounds like a hollywood movie

I guess it's breathtaking to star this movie

When NRK news becomes a reality

Enjoy the nerve of adventure

Thanks for stepping out

Accepting to live on the other side of the globe

How's the ride on the bumpy dusty roads?

Have fun with your natural washing machines!

This crazy world must be spinning pretty fast

Spinning on an axis outside and higher than itself

Putting a smile to the poor and the dying

Giving comfort to the lonely and distant

Across the globe we all have a laugh and a tear

Tranquility of the fjords here,warmth and colour across.

Threads of securalism tearing society,poverty and corruption tearing society

Its a beutiful and a sad world.

It'll never be the same again

With an enlarged heart and vision

Always will be a stranger to many

A lifetime of chasing eternal values beyond me.

Strangely warmed up hearts

Despite the weared out and tarned bodies

Life such a thrill

When lived out on the edge

Tribute to all my schoolmates the Norwegians out there from Hald.

Norway is fun but even more fun when you guys are around.

Be strong to the end.

God vesigne deg

CULTURE SHOCK

We all attended an uncalled for conference

To fill up everytime at our disposal

The fear of the unknown

Taking up comfort in the familiar

Reporting every detail of the trip

Excited by what should and what should'nt

Letting the fingers do the walking

Present in everywhere else in the world but the present

Long hours of break becoming torture

The fear of knowing and being known

The instinct of survival in a group

The tension of facing the strange

The ice thaws with time

The strange become the familiar

The snow becomes obviously white

Hours for the uncalled for conference reduce drastically

Reporting news diminish by the day

Cameras take longer to fill up and MSN subscription dwindles

Breaks becomes fun and unfortunately shorter

Strangers become brothers and sisters!

What a beutiful world to behold

Everything works alright

The bus leaves on time a system build on trust

It's time to sign autographs in Ålgo

Men before you settle and be part of

Suddently it's time up

Boy you got to dust your papers

It's time to sweat and make the world yonder a better place!
