Declaration of thanks! It’s almost the end of 2019... Pressure to finish things, complete all those goals or just try to keep going till the Christmas holiday (if you have one). And in the midst of all the chaos to think about what has happened this past year. A friend asked if I have a testimony to share and I said ‘nothing specifically’... but then I realised how this year is a testimony. God has been so faithful and present in everything, everyday! When my mom-in-law suddenly passed away, when it was crazy having a new born with 2 toddlers all over the place, when I wish Granny was still here to play with them, when we come back from holiday trips exhausted rather than rested and all the hundreds of times I’ve felt overwhelmed by the challenges of mothering these very excited, loud, stubborn, intense, passionate, unique, joyful, beautiful little kids... God was there! In all those testing times, He was touching our hearts, guiding our decisions, restoring us, coaching us, protecting us, encouraging us and loving us! And so there are thousands of times I’ve felt overwhelmed with joy, love, compassion, feeling so blessed and honoured to have such an incredible husband and beautiful kids, blessed to have an amazing family and precious friends. Feeling God’s love so real because of those around me. This year is a testimony! I am SO THANKFUL! ‘All honour and glory to You, Jesus Christ!’ Amen!

I was making food and realised that I only have 3 pieces of chicken left and that I won't have meat left for the rest of the week. I was talking to God and telling Him that I am going to need meat soon but don't have the necessary finances to buy meat... and then the next day someone blessed me with meat and other food as well! I want to encourage you to trust in Him for anything and He will provide.

When I was in high school, I felt very isolated and as if no one understood what I was going through. I tried to handle the situation for quite a while by cutting myself to give utterance to what I am experiencing. By God’s grace there was intervention before it was too late. Special people and my parents walked the road of healing with me and there are no marks left! In August 2019 it’s been 8 years that I am fully relying on God and not on my own plans. During this time I could share my testimony with quite a few young ladies who feel alone. Even now in times when I am tempted to fall back into my old ways of coping with things, God catches me in a special way by me helping someone else again.
