There’s a powerful word in Hebrew that encapsulates three English words: Hineni (הנני), which means “Here I am!” It describes total surrender, an attitude of complete availability and willingness to follow and obey God’s will, even when the path is difficult or sacrificial. This requires vulnerability, faith, and trust on our part to let go […]
Months had slipped by, during which I somehow couldn’t seem to get a handle on my quiet time, my time with God. Completely consumed by the daily grind, my regularity and discipline had vanished like snow in the sun. “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” – Hebrews 13:5 I hadn’t managed
I didn’t even realize I was desperately trying to maintain control over a situation until I entered a period of struggle. I had believed and trusted God and had taken a huge step of faith a few months earlier. And now I suddenly found myself in a difficult situation, precisely at the point where I

Life in the place where I now live with my husband is a place that we, without a doubt, received from God. My husband and I both grew up in the city. My husband “enjoyed” a little more of this city life in his youth than I did before he met Jesus, but more about

It’s not that I’m a relationship expert, far from it, but in the meantime I have gained some experience, especially how not to do it, LOL. Every relationship I’ve had, in the past, were relationships in which God was not present. Looking back on it, we just did whatever, not really having a clue how to

A funny thing happened recently that reminded me so much of our walk with God. It was a lovely spring day. My husband and I both had the day off and decided to enjoy the spring sunshine and go out into nature. We live on the outskirts of a small village, and therefore we can walk from
I have always seen it as something beautiful; a traditional marriage and household.Before I gave my life to Jesus, I already saw it that way. At that time, I did not work for years in order to be able to take care of our two boys and our at home. I brought them to, and
