Suntem în seara dinaintea Săptămânii Mari sau Sfinte. Săptămâna Patimilor. Nașterea și viața lui Isus ar fi fost incomplete fără această ultimă săptămână – în care ne oprim la Cruce, la suferință și moarte. Ceea ce noi am meritat, pedeapsa […]
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 […]
Today was a full day. Jesus returns to the holy city and has several intense interactions which become an amazing context of learning for his followers. He ends the day with a series of parables and teachings on the Mount […]
Jerusalem is in a hustle and bustle. The greatest celebration of the Jewish people was coming up in a few days: the Passover – commemorating the freedom from the Egyptian oppression, through the supernatural intervention of God. People from all […]
I grew up under communism. It almost feels unreal, like a bad bad dream. Few people still talk about those times. Being born in 1981, I got to experience the last decade of the dictatorship, when our “beloved” leader controlled […]
Spring is here! There is a smell of freshness, or warmth and of lightness in the air. Breathe in. Breathe out. And breathe up. My lungs are being filled with life as my soul is breathing in joy. Oh, Spring! […]
I am sitting there, legs crossed and hands held together, with my big medical folder opened on the large desk, while the doctor tells me just about the same things that I’ve already heard before. For almost three years. Pain. […]
When we started following the candida diet, I panicked. The first few days were so difficult and expensive and I felt hungry all the time. Until I was brave enough to start experimenting with different flours and ingredients. I fell […]
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...
