Who am I ?

I was born in the small town of Odda, in western Norway, April 1974.

You might think I was lucky when I tell you that my first 12 years I lived deep in a beautiful Norwegian fjord, but I tell you the truth, I didn't like the place.

It was one of the few places in Norway where the communists had a seat in the council, and the people there were of course a reflection of that. Very few Christians, and frankly quite hostile towards God.

When I was 12 years old, my father got a new job and we moved to another place near the city of Haugesund, Norway.

There in Haugesund I became born again and baptized at the age of 13. And I just wanted to follow Jesus since then.

I met my Swedish husband at the age of 18 in the city of Bergen, Norway, where we married in 1993.

My career has been a stay at home mum, raising my boys and working together with my husband in our software business.

A little while ago I wrote a memorial about my father Torleiv Iversen, after I found out my two siblings had deleted our father’s grave.

My father’s final resting place was erased from this earth, and they didn’t care less to ask my opinion.

Then, after some careful thinking, I have decided to share my experiences.

I thought about all those out there that has been through things in life, similar to what I will tell in this Substack.

It will be a very personal Substack about how it was to grow up without a mother’s love and how God has helped me and taken care of me.

God is truly a father to those who don't have one. The true Father, that takes care of His children.

It might be emotional, but at the same time a story of hope.

Something good coming out of the bad.
