Interview with Susanna Rolland

Interview With Susanna Rolland.

Modesty is Next to Beauty: What does it feel like to be a Stay at Home Mother, while other mothers work?

Susanna: In a way I feel privileged. It`s really a blessing for me to stay at home and take care of my children. I have never had a wish to be a career woman. Since I was a little girl my dream for my life was to get married, get children and stay home. I want to teach them about Jesus.

On the other way I can sometimes feel alone and outside the community. In the world it`s not status to be a stay at home mother, but I will rather please God than the world. I`m satisfied to stay at home and be a old fashion mother!


Modesty is Next to Beauty: Tell us about your 2 boys, do you homeschool them?


Susanna: My oldest son is 4 1/2 years old and the other one will soon be 2 years. Here in Norway children are beginning in school when they are 6 years old. So at this time they are staying home with me. The oldest one is attending kindergarten two days a week, to play with other children.

No, homeschool is very, very unusual in Norway. I know that school and secular friends can have a bad influence on my children. But I do my best to raise them to be good christian kids, and hope that they in the future will be living witnesses of Jesus Christ in school.


Modesty is Next to Beauty: Do you go to church, if so how is it there?


Susanna: Yes, we are so blessed so we have a church only 5 minutes from our home. There we got the Word of God preached every Sunday, and we have wonderful fellowship with sisters and brothers in the Lord.


Modesty is Next to Beauty: Have you ever been outside of Norway?


Susanna: Yes, actually I`m born and grown up in Sweden. I moved to Norway when I got married. And I have been in some other countries in Europe on holiday


Modesty is Next to Beauty: Do you like living in Norway? it must be cool, Do you live out in the city?


Susanna: I LOVE Norway! There is not a big difference between Norway and Sweden. We live a little bit outside a city. We have warm and nice summers, and cold winters with snow. The nature in Norway is awesome, high mountains and rivers. I think God did a really nice job when he created Norway :)



Modesty is Next to Beauty: In conclusion to our interview, if you could give a few pointers to Stay at Home Mothers, or soon to be moms, what would it be?



Susanna: I will encourage all stay at home mothers; to be home and create a home with nice atmosphere, and teach our children to love Jesus with all their hearts, that is what mother is made for!
