I.K. (my room mate), Bente (my good friend), and I have decided to keep a weekly bible study. We'll read a book or two (or less, depending on how long it is) every week, and then get together during the weekend to talk about it. I am so pleased that we have a deal like that. It's very inspiring. We're all in the same cell group as well, which makes it easier check on each other (in an encouraging manner of course). This week we're reading through The Hebrews.

Oh, today is the Norwegian premiere of the new Pride and Prejudice movie with Keira Knightley. I.K. and I are planning to go and see it on sunday night, which I look forward to. I have watched the BBC series from 1995 five times now, and I.K. and I are going to watch it tonight as well. (I like a LOT, as you understand...) I think the movie will be very good, but I just can't imagine that I will like it as much as the old series. (Probably because I watched the series first and have become familiar with those caracters.)

I'm very pleased to tell that I've got myself a part time job. I'm going to direct a youth choir (which I've earlier been a member of for many years myself). The really great thing about it is that this will also be part of the practical experience that my college requires for us to have every year. It will be a great learning experience and a good challenge. The choir really needed a new director, and I really needed a job and the practice, so I think God did some good planning there. :)

As I said yesterday: I love winter!

There are a few more pics in my new winter album. Just a few though. Took them yesterday. Check them out if you like. :)

The last week or so has been so beautiful! It's been cold (especially the last couple of-three days,) and frozen outside. I love it when there's half a meter of snow and the tree branches are rimed with white frost. That's exactly how it is these days. It makes me want to stay home longer, but unfortunately (but really I do look forward to it) I have to go back to Oslo tonight. We start school tomorrow.

God is so creative to create different seasons! I'm so glad He did!!!

Da var 2005 over... Har nesten akkurat kommet hjem fra nyttårsfeiring med gjengen hjemme. Hjemmehjemme. (Hjemme på Jesshiem, altså.). Vi var på gården til Skolten, nesten. (Det er det gården heter. Nesten altså.) Koselig det. Merkelig at det skal være så stort å begynne på et nytt år. Dagen i morra blir ikke noe annerledes enn den ville vært dersom det ikke var et nytt år. Antageligvis. Spesielt ikke siden det er  en søndag. Likevel er det ålreit å kunne markere at man legger noe bak seg og begynner på noe nytt... Sjølom verden ikke har forandret seg merkbart siden i går. Ikke livet mitt heller.

Da jeg var liten trodde jeg alltid det het nyttår-saften. Jeg så for meg et glass med rød solbærsaft. Det gikk et stort lys opp for meg da jeg forsto at det het nyttårs-aften.

Godt nyttår, a, godtfolk!
