Cooking and running..

The weather was much nicer later on today so I decided to run after all. A couple of the kids on the street wanted to join me, which they did for a short bit but then I continued by myself. And I'm so happy I decided to run because it was the best run this year - 17 km pretty much without stopping (obviously we stopped a few times when the kids and I ran). So now I have 941,7 km left this year. I'm so happy for it because that means that my health is FINALLY getting better! God is SO good!

I decided to take a picture of my breakfast today for you non swedes that thinks that fish for breakfast is weird :) I was laughing because I understand most people would think my breakfast is really weird - mackerel, fermented vegetables, goji berries, pecan nuts and pumpkin seeds! You should try it, it taste awesome! :D

Me and my sister has also been cooking lots of food for hours today - which means that I'm even more behind with school now but at the same time, I won't "have to" cook for a while now so then I can study more. And now I'm off to clean and then work in the garage to making pills.

Is it only me or was this "spring/summer" a little bit shorter than it usually is?
I guess there will be some fermented vegetebles done instead of running today.

Bibleverse about food

1 Tim 4:2b-5

... these liars will forbid people to marry or to eat certain foods. But God created these foods to be eaten with thankful hearts by his followers who know the truth. Everything God created is good. And if you give thanks, you may eat anything. What God has said and your prayer will make it fit to eat.

Reminder for myself to always thank God for the food he gives me.. :)

This summer + some thoughts

In case I haven't mention this yet; I'm not going to Israel this summer after all for a few reasons. Can't wait for the day I can finally go....

Right now I'm looking into spending 4-5 weeks in Oklahoma with Whitley instead but it's still in the planning stage so we'll see. As my summer course is distance, I could just do it over there.

Otherwise, school is taking up too much time as usual. I wonder if I will be like one of those that gets an education and never really use it but does other things in life.. I really hope I will be able to use it and I'm sure I will but what I mean is that I feel so strong in my heart that I want to for example be a stay at home mom while my kids are young (as I've mentioned a million times), go out on missions and "save the world"! God put so much on my heart when I got saved and I'm so excited for Him to fulfill all those things.

I wonder sometimes what I would have done if God didn't save me.. First, I don't even believe I would be alive. I can't picture a life without God. He has given me the greatest love, help, restoration etc..

There's one bibleverse that describes a part of the calling I believe God has given me:

1 Tim 5:10
... and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the Lord’s people, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.
