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 […]

When you are all in for Jesus, the world thinks you’re a weirdo. It should come as no surprise that we, as “Jesus Freaks,” are labeled as crazy. The Bible warns us of this (1 Peter 4:12). “Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as

For the past seven and a half years as a single mother, I have mostly been “Martha.” Working, housekeeping, and my relationship with God and my children, I did it all by myself. Although I didn’t shy away from it, it also often exhausted me. I set the bar quite high; for example, I always wanted

In a short period of a few weeks, my life had turned a hundred and eighty degrees. From a single mother living in the center of a busy city, to a married woman, living in a rural area at a reasonable distance from civilization.God can turn your whole situation around or turn it for the
At the beginning of the summer, I decided to take a break. I had just finished my second year at Charis Bible College, and it seemed like a good time to take a break from social media and this blog. Just to unwind after a hectic but fantastic year. Enjoying the summer and time with

We were enjoying the sea view, the food, and our wonderful, loving time together on the Costa Tropical. Our first real holiday abroad together, and for my husband, it had been about
Spanish tapas, sushi, Indian dishes, pastas or a nice piece of good meat… I love it. Or cheese, any cheese, it doesn’t matter what kind, shape or origin; I’m crazy about it, LOL. In the natural we can eat and eat whatever we want, at least when we are blessed to live in a land where
