I was wondering few days back, talking to someone about what i am doing and how i moved to Norway from Romania, and that person was asking me if it was hard to leave Romania?
I took a deep breath, and said : more than you can think. I had such an amazing life there, involved in so many things and having such good people arround me who helped me grow spiritual so much and yet, God was calling me to Norway.

Norway for me, it was like wilderness...i just couldn't experience God in the same way as i was experiencing Him in Romania and couldn't understand why, at that moment.
Then, after i came finally to Norway, i got in a deep, deeeeeep depression, which of course i would have not called it ''depression'' cuz, i didn't believe that God's children can get in depression, and yet, there i was, in a deep depression. Confused, lost and hopeless. Until, God met me there, in that wilderness and spoke to me. Oh, such glorious moments. I realised, that for me, at that time, God was not the same, as He says He is yesterday, today and tomorrow. It took me a while to realise this.

After that ''while'' felt like my whole world turned upside down. I had to literally take His word and speak it out loud so that i can believe again, ''faith comes by hearing'' , and i am telling you, God's precious and powerful Word, still brings to life. Was like my heart was brought back to life. I started to believe that God is the s.a.m.e. and that wherever i go, i should be able to live with God and carry this faith within me, because God is not limited by circumstances nor situations we are, but He is God at ALL time and in ALL places.

That was the moment when i released God's plans with my life for this timing. Embracing His plans, His thoughts which are always better than mine, made me get where i am today.

An advice : embrace God's will for the time and season you are in, even though you hate it and you want it another way. You will experience God's amazing blessings that are coming along with your surrender.


Just felt that i should share this tonight. Is another side of God's beautiful plan for this season of my life.

Rromi  Ministry  on  the  streets 2013

This ministry, or the first time i have been out again after New Year, found me in such a deep passion...is like i have been regiven , if i can use this word, all this passion and love for these people, my people.

I am so deeply touch by God’s heart and plans for this ministry.

This time i went out, i met new people, and i heard again stories that pierced my heart, just like is piercing God’s heart. I felt it, i felt it so strong, God’s broken heart for them, though like i tell them always, i can’t do more than just to feed them, preach the Gospel and pray for them, which, right now when i am writing, i realise it’s what Jesus was doing and the prophet Isaiah was saying about Him...

Met 3 new ladies which i got so connected with and i am intending to keep the contact with, Ana-Maria, Maria and Irina. I have them in my heart ever since.

Another amazing thing happened is that Viorel and Mirabela, the family i am really investing in, and which are already going to  the romanian church, came back as well and got to share a little. Viorel told me that Mirabela, his wife, decided to come to Jesus...and my heart just exploded with joy inside my chest...and i asked him: „what about you, Viorel?” and he said...’’i guess i am not ready, if i want to do this step, i want it to be real and forever’’. I was suprise of his answer and then, something heavenly happened, as Ingebjorg was sitting next to me praying for the conversation, the Spirit of Mighty God came over me and i started to talk and talk and testify His Grace and amazing deeds and how is all about Him and what He had done and how we can’t\need to do anything, except to repent and receive the freely given gift of forgivness, of grace. I am telling you, such a powerful atmosphere..can’t put it in words, but i realised that it was all God! As i was sharing, i was telling to myself, man, this is sooo God!! It’s He’s amazing words pored out on me because they were so not mine J, got reminded of the vers where it says that „you will be given in that very moment the words you need’’ (paraphrase)

 God is just wonderful. That’s all i can say. I can testify His powerful and great and marvelous deeds. He is so faithful, every single word He said in the Book is coming alive.

I am excited to see what new stories He has prepared for me to share with all you.

Rromi  Ministry  on  the  streets  of  Stavanger

I just have to write about this amazing stories that have been taking place here, in Stavanger, the place that God has been putting me for now.

Everything started with just walking on these streets and really, i have been avoiding these people too...even thought i knew how they are, their situation, spoke the language of their heart.

Until, one day, when we went out ministrying  with IMI church. I was looking for hints and people, signes, whatever God could lead me to share His love. Keep bomping though in these rromi people, whom i just didn’t like. And after like 1 hour of just going arround and nothing to get my attention, heard the Spirit of the Lord talking to me....and saying..”you are looking for signes and „special people” whom You think i want to touch, when in fact they are standing right in front of you! Why are you running from these people? Can’t you see that i want to touch them? Are you that blind?’’ 

That was the moment when all the chains of judgement or prejudice or anything else was falling to the ground and suddenly such love was born inside of me that just couldn’t comprehand. Came back to the Prayer House and told Oddrun that i want to start doing something about this people. She looked at me and said, „i was thinking to talk to you about this, i have it on my heart for a while but just can’t get to talk to them since have no idea of their heart language.’’ 

This is how this ministry was born. Since then, which is a month and a week ago, every Thursday we go out with lunch and tea. It’s been just fantastic the way God was opening this door. So many stories and speechless moments.

Met arround 15 of them, with some of them have a special relationship, allowing me to know them better. They call me „our girl” . There is a family, whom i met and helped quit much, they even came to the Romanian Gathering on Saturdays. Such a blessing to know them. The mother of the husband has diabetes, in a very advances form and only had left the doze for this month. In Romania, the help that the Goverment was giving for diabetes people was cute, maybe not all, but a big part of it so they could not get it anymore. That is why she was here, standing on the street, in cold, rain,  even snow and just hoping that someone would stop for a moment and hear her story.

We manage to raise some money and provide with some dozes of insulin and gave it to her and that was such a blessing for entire family, couse it’s a burden for the whole family after all.

Forgot to mention, that all these rromi people are sleeping in cars, in parking places outside Stavanger. No place to shower, wash clothes or sleep. Just the car.

We also manage through amazing people who wanted to help, to provide with balnkets, some pillows and duna, shoes for children and winter socks and sweaters.

Been told storied like, after i met the people and started to pray, problems got solved, like Claudia’s problem, she and her husband went through such a hard time, her husband losing the driving licence and the police took their car and wanted to send them back home. When i met her that week she was sooo down and sad, you could see her heart expause...so i just prayed for her and a week later the problem was solved. He got the driving license back, i don’t know how, they don’t know how, couse they couldn’t comunicate with the police. But actually, i do know, it was God. Only God. :)

Another case was of a man and a woman, their car broke down and had no way how to fix it. After i met them, my heart was just sooo sore about them.  Started to pray for them and next week when i went to visit them, they were shinning, got to fix the car! And even said that they were looking for a romanian church, they heard of the one i am going to, so they would love to join! God is so faithful!

Others were crying out for jobs, small  jobs, and while i was taking the lunch to them got phone calls, norwigans offering them small jobs!  My heart was so blessed at the wonder of His love and BIG heart!

Others had children going through surgeries back home, prayed for them and then found out that they surgery went well. All we can say is a big, BIG, big : Praise God alone!!!! All the glory to His Name!

I told them just like that apostols were telling to people who were touch by God..’’The Kingdom of God has come near you!”

..and it’s so true, that God as put poor people with a purpose among us, saying in Old Testament, „that there is always going to be poor people among you” , so that we can get into action. They are actually a channel to lead us to God’s amazing heart.

...this is not finished. I know God has so many other good stories prepared to come to encourage us and move us into action!
