Introduction to the new LOP interns

Yes, this is me, Malene.
Told you I love to laugh=)

It is a new school year, a new season, and a new person writing this blog. Who am I?
Well, if I were to tell you everything at once you would for 1. Sit there for the rest of
the day. 2. Be bored before reading through half of it 3. Miss the wonderfulness of
getting to know me as time goes by. So let me just start off by giving you three words
that would describe me in a nutshell, at least one of my nutshells: Viking, creative,
love to laugh.

Round two, we might as well move fast since I am the one in charge right now. I am
a Norwegian who truly loves my country. I grew up on a farm with four other sisters,
which means I could definitely have needed some communication skills from birth.
This reminds me to inform you that my birth date showed I turned 27 this summer,
even though most people think I am 18-22. This is of course before they get to know
me and see all the wisdom I carry (or want to carry). The 15th of May I took a risk
and started dating a handsome Swede, who unfortunately is not attending the 3rd year
School of Ministry with me in Redding, CA, but is continuing his medical studies
back in Norway instead. God bless him. Gotta love skype though! By the way, my
name is Malene, with an E that sounds like an A. ;)

My home sweet home farm in a village of about 60 people in Norway

Which reminds me that while I still have you here, it wouldn’t hurt to mention a
couple of things that I love (not in the right order, though): My country, I scream ,
you scream, we all scream for… - And yes, Cookie dough is among my favorites, my
family, being active – sports, photography, the RADIO, laughing, dreaming, traveling
with people I love, chocolate- after all, I am a normal girl, and JESUS – who is truly
my faithful best friend!

Also, I want to let you know why I chose this internship, because if I didn’t make
that clear, my new friend Katie and I are the new interns for Loving on Purpose. For
my own sake and on behalf of my family, I just want to learn everything I can about
communication and relationship. For years I have been carrying this desire to be able
to communicate well. Like many others, I have been a victim of broken relationships
too many times. So I want to learn even more about how to set boundaries and value
and loving people even if they hurt me. And oh, I almost forgot to mention: I am
truly grateful for being under both Sheri and Danny. I almost could not believe it
when I got accepted- God is good! Ok, your turn Miss Katie:

Hey, my name is Katie. I’m from Canada and I am one of the Loving on Purpose
interns this year at Bethel Church. I went through first and second year in the School
of Supernatural Ministry and this has been my dream all along; To intern under
Danny and Sheri Silk. I’ll be helping to keep you up-to-date on Danny and Sheri’s
newest teachings, and helping with exciting new product and media. It’s going to be
good-so be sure to keep an eye out.

A little about me: I have done YWAM (Youth With a Mission) and went to Bible
college for counseling and theology. I love hearing people’s hearts and working
through relationship issues and life problems. My biggest passion is to see people
become the best them they can be, which is seeing themselves the way God seems
them. I have had quite a journey with the Lord and overcoming my struggle with fear,

so I love to see fear eradicated from people’s lives and see them encounter God’s
perfect love.

I enjoy being outside and being at the beach; swimming is probably my favorite thing
to do, which is why I have dream to swim with dolphins one day. I drink more tea
than any English person I know, but I also have a fond love for coffee. I love having
fun, laughing and being with my friends. As well as living in California, I like to
travel to see new places, new architecture, try new foods and learn the history of
different places I visit. I’m always up for a walk, a road trip or an adventure. This
year feels just like that, an adventure. It’s an exciting season to learn a lot by gaining
new ground and partaking in an amazing journey.

In the end I (Malene) just want to say, hello and welcome to join me on my
adventures as I bring Danny and Sheri’s teachings alive to all y’all. =)
