Hello,
I’m Diana, but my friends call me DU (pronounced Dee-You).
I live in the capital city of Romania, Bucharest, but I am a farm girl at heart. I so love God’s sense of humor, because our apartment building is on a street called Farm Road. This is helping me sometimes dream of and seek a slower life, lived surrounded by more nature and natural rhythms. My husband and I are a family on mission with Josiah Venture and I am the Executive Director of Lifesprings International. My passion is to see women of all ages connected, encouraged and prepared to impact their communities with the love of Jesus Christ.
Thank you for stopping by. Come on in dear friend…

Sabbath starts on Friday night, with the setting of the sun and the need for sleep. It starts with a clear reminder that the world does not depend on us, that we don’t have to carry its weight on our […]
The raw, heavy wood was pressing hard into His bleeding shoulders. The splinters were scratching mercilessly His raw skin, adding to His indescribable pain. It was intense. Physical. Heavy. Each move brought agony. Each push from the crowds accompanying Him […]
It is Maundy Thursday. The Thursday unlike any other Thursdays. This day is also known as Holy Thursday, Covenant Thursday, Great and Holy Thursday, Sheer (meaning “clean” or “bright”) Thursday, the Thursday of Mysteries, among other names for this significant […]
Behind the few short texts that present today’s events we find some emotions and roots that we might relate with. The new context that this unusual season of Lent is finding us in, gave me new lenses for observing today’s […]
