A new year... a new adventure...

A new year has just begun. None of us really know what it holds in store for us, but I find security in the fact that the God I follow does know what lies ahead; I can enter the new year without fear or worry if I am walking hand in hand with Him. As I was praying on the first day of 2023, I felt that the Lord told me this year would bring me some challenges and losses, but also some times of unexpected joy. I believe He showed me that the key to walking in joy, even amidst the sorrows and losses, is to walk in intentional thankfulness. So, in my journal, I'm regularly writing down the things that I am thankful for.

Have you ever wondered why the URL of this blog is "back in Europe"? It's because I lived in Africa for almost 15 years and I began writing this new blog in the very month when I moved back to Europe. Now I've been "back in Europe" for 15 years. Sometimes I can hardly believe that I have lived in Spain for almost the same amount of time that I lived in South Africa!

I haven't written much on this blog over the past two years, choosing to communicate more on other social media platforms instead. But I'm coming into a new season of change and transition, and so I invite you to join me, and to pray with me, as I embark on a new adventure.
