I’m Mathilde (20) from Tønsberg, Norway. This is my blog, about some of the things I do and some of the things I think. I currently work as an English teacher in Nanjing, China. As there is no Facebook in China, this is an alternative to news letters; way of letting people know what I’m up to.
Past: Last school year I studied Chinese at Nanjing University. Berfore that I went to an amazing school called Hald International Centre, through which I got friends from all over the world and spent 6 months in China. For more details, www.hald.no.
Future: I used to think a lot about what I wanted to do, what career I wanted and so on. I used to have at least the next three years planned out. This is no-longer true. I’ve come to realise that I have little controll over the future. Which is a good thing, even though it’s scary at times. It’s good because I know some one who knows what the future brings and wants to guide me through it.
Faith: While we’re at the subject.. I’m a Christian. I believe that I was created by God Almighty. I believe that I’m, as a human, sinful in nature and this makes me unable to have a relationship with God. I believe that God became human and died for my sins because this was the only way to save me and restore the relation between me and God.
God loves me more that I can possibly imagine and the only thing I have to do to receive His love and mercy is to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour.
I want to live my life for His glory and I am forever thankful for everything He has given me.
I also love it when people ask me about my faith, so feel free

Mathilde,
I was looking for a Bible verse today and the Lord took me to your blog! What a joy it has been to read some of your posts and to see your faith!
The verse for which I was searching was Deauteronomy 33:25b: “And according to your days, so shall your strength be.”
I’ve just sent the verse to a family who recently adopted two children from China. Would you join me in praying for them today as they are in the midst of some difficult times. We know the Lord will supply all their needs because He loves them, has directed their paths, and He has riches in glory and good and perfect gifts to give them.
Philippians 4:19, James 1:17
May the Lord bless you and keep you from evil!
Anne,
thank you for reminding me of that verse! I needed to hear it again.
I will join you in prayer for that family.
God bless you!

Hi,
