Without a mask

None of us enjoy being exposed. We all have things or experiences in our lives that we are ashamed of. Things we've done. Places we've been. People we've hurt. But when we come to God, we come as we are. We often forget that He knew us before we were born and that there’s simply nothing He doesn't already know about us. Yet, we continue to hide behind our past and guard it like it we are the only person in the world who has ever been in this...

5 pâini și 2 pești

5 pâini și 2 pești. De atât a fost nevoie ca să hrănească mulțimea de oameni care venea după El. Minune. Oamenii Îl urmau pe Isus pe când Acesta trăia pe pământ; văzând mulțimea înfometată, lui Isus I s-a făcut milă de ei și le-a spus ucenicilor: „Dați-le să mănânce!”  Ucenicii au răspuns: „N-avem aici decât  5 pâini și 2 pești.” El a luat pâinile și peștii, a privit spre cer, a binecuvântat, a frânt pâinile și apoi...

In the beginning

Timisoara is a beautiful City in the west of Romania, situated not too far from the Hungarian border.  It is a very Westernised City and because of the thousands of foreign guests that poured into it just after the Revolution, it has become a contradiction in itself to the rest of Romania.  The first time I came here in 1990, with humanitarian aid, I was overwhelmed by the poverty and lack of everyday items, such as sugar and milk...

Ce fain e când mă cheamă la biserică!

„Ce fain e când mă cheamă la biserică!”  Cam așa aș parafraza eu primul verset din Psalmul 122.  (În traducerea Cornilescu, sună așa: Mă bucur când mi se zice: Haidem la Casa Domnului!) Mă întreb: cu ce sentimente mergem (sau nu mergem) la biserică?  Când sună ceasul duminică dimineață, oftăm adânc la gândul că trebuie să ne trezim, să ne îmbrăcăm și să traversăm orașul ca să ajungem la timp la biserică?  Mergem pentru...

(Extra)Ordinary Women

I don’t think there’s ever been such an exciting time to be a woman as today. For many years, culture has dictated that women are second class citizens and indeed, to this day, in many countries women don’t even have a voice. They are not allowed to go to school, not allowed to vote and their only role in life is to stay at home and be prisoners of their husbands and homes. (Please understand, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being...

A fi femeie

Ieri (duminică), a fost 8 martie, Ziua Internațională a Femeii.  A fost ziua în care copiii își cinstesc mama, soții își cinstesc soția și elevii își cinstesc profesoarele!   Această sărbătoare m-a provocat să îmi pun întrebarea:  ce înseamnă să fiu femeie? Am ajuns la concluzia că, pentru mine, a fi femeie înseamnă: să fiu vulnerabilă; să fiu neputincioasă, sau slabă; să fiu emotivă, influențată de hormoni; să fiu cea...

The KAIROS Moment (repost)

Have you been wondering what Kairos means? This blog post from back in 2011 explains it... KAIROS describes a time when conditions are right for the accomplishment of a crucial action: the opportune and decisive moment. Even though the Greek meanings are complex and culturally dependent, Kairos (καιρός) refers to the right time, opportune time or seasonable time. It cannot be measured. It is the perfect time, the qualitative...

Never underestimate the prayer of a woman!

A long time ago now, in my ‘other’ life, we used to enjoy a wonderful time of fellowship with lots of lovely like-minded Christians every Friday night.  This gathering was called the ‘Friday Fellowship’.  We met together and shared the goodness of God.  We had Praise and Worship which I used to lead with my accordion and we would sometimes sing for an hour, just song after song, about the goodness of God. One weekend, a lovely...
