My Jesus, my life!

When a person decides to fully follow Jesus, to give Jesus his life, the whole hell will come against him.
Satan tempts, tries to stop that person by giving them sickness, doubts, Satan attacks that person spiritually... just so they would give up and be defeated.

What is that person's comfort? Jesus.

Jesus is the only way, the truth and the life.
Jesus is the living Son of God.
Jesus is the Lord. Our Lord.
Jesus is the Almighty one!
Jesus is our Savior!
Jesus is in control over everything!
Jesus is Sovereign!
Jesus is a jealous God!
Jesus loves us!
Jesus is our hope!
Jesus is our peace!
Jesus is the ultimate Healer!
Jesus is our Provider!
Jesus is the Holy of hosts!
Jesus is God!
Jesus is the bread of life!
In Jesus is the eternal life!
Jesus is our best friend!
Jesus is our everything!

Life can be very hard, with or without Jesus. But with Jesus there is hope, peace, comfort, and eternal life. Life with Jesus is so much better than any different kind of life.
Jesus is my life!

Home, sweet home

I've been home for 3 full days now and I must say it feels good. I love being somewhere I know the culture, the streets, where I have my own bed and almost my own room. Freedom! :)

It's also hard to be home. There's no Christian bubble and it's up to me how I spend my days. I love it that our college group here is reading through the Bible and that I was able to jump right in with them. We read approx. 2 books per week and then meet once a week to talk about them. I went on Tuesday for the first time and I loved it! God is taking care of me!

He's also doing something but I don't exactly know what it is. I've been thinking of maybe going to the States for a month or two since I have no obligations here yet (no school or job...) but I'm not sure that's what He has in mind. We'll see. I applied for a job in preschool today since it just happened that there were 2 open spots for preschool teachers. Is it God opening doors or just a coincidence? Will I even get the job? We'll see. My time here really is in His hands now and I'm open for whatever He has for me.

There's also a lot going on at home... and we'll see what will happen. I can see God working and allowing things that aren't necessarily good in our eyes but we can't see His plan. I trust He knows what He's doing and I pray He'll make all things work together for our good. Would you pray with me that I would continue completely trusting Him and having faith in Him, and that whatever happens, He will be glorified? Would you also pray for salvation of my family? They need Jesus, His hope and peace.

I thank you all for support and prayers in my transition. It really means a lot and it makes it all easier.

It's not a "goodbye"; it's a "see you later".

Tomorrow is the last day before my journey of Bible College finishes.
I’ve been here for a year and a half and it’s basically been the beginning of my walk with the Lord; the summer before my first semester was a preparation for it.

I’ve experienced many tough, hard, sad and extreme moments here, and many many happy, joyful, exciting and blessed ones as well. I’ve met people that became some of my closest friends and went through a lot with me. I’ve learned lessons I wouldn’t learn at home.
God’s been such a good Teacher and He’s lead me gently and sometimes harshly; whatever He knew was best for me. But He never stopped loving me, no matter what. The way He revealed Himself to me in the past year and a half was unbelievable. I experienced God as my Father, my Teacher, my Best Friend and my Husband. He’s been faithful to me and He never let me go. The best thing about it is that this is only the beginning of my journey with my God; and it’s still the beginning of my walk with Him.
Going home is one of the hardest things right now; not because I wouldn’t want to go home – I can’t wait to be with my family and friends, to have my own bed again, to live in a city that I know – but Vajta has become my home and it’ll always be my home in a way. It’s just hard to move on but changes are necessary AND good.
