For quite some time already I did not know a church where I was "at home", when in August 2005 a friend asked me to go with her to Gods Ambassade. For quite some time I had not celebrated the Lord's Supper any more, and I had a strong desire to participate in it again. I had prayed that they would celebrate it, and yes, it was the Lord's Supper! Hugo also had a word for me that "God would make all things new... even to my own astonishment"!
I was so astonished that I went straight to Hugo after the service, and I asked him if this was a prophetic word, and, if so, that I would like it to happen too!
Since then I am almost always of the company, first on Tuesdays and later on Sundays too. I am enormously thankful to God for the teachings we receive in our church. There I have learned to give hands and feet to the things I believed already for a long time in my inner woman.

Since then I also regularly write down things that appeal to me particularly, I note my blessings or a prophetic word in my agenda.
Last summer at the HHL- conference we had the opportunity to look and to experience how our team is dealing with their silent time in prayer. There I heard from Inger that she had a notebook too, but she suggested that a ring binder might be still more useful, for then you can make several subdivisions.
That was my cup of tea, for in the meantime everything had been spread over five agenda's, which is not very practical when you want to count your blessings once more!
Once I got home I went to buy a ring binder and I took everything out of my agenda's to put it into it... much more convenient!

When I was busy with that, I reread everything. I was deeply touched to see "how God has made all things new, newer... even to my own surprise"!!
I find that the most beautiful part of it, is that God has started with me myself! He has started a new work in me and I am allowed to grow, while I sometimes fall and then stand up again.
I am not tired of life at all any more. I really enjoy life with a grateful heart, although my circumstances are still not always easy. I know I am safe close to Him each moment!
I pray that my story may be an encouragement for others when circumstances are not quite yet the way God has meant them to be.

All thanks to my heavenly Daddy!"
