Jesus Is The Reason We Are Here
December 2025
Happy Winter Season from the USA!!!
Thank you for all of your support throughout 2025. As this year comes to a close, I am reminded of God’s faithfulness in every season. Even in the storms, He has shown me over and over that He is the One in control.
Looking at Jesus—the One seated on the throne—I am reminded of who I am because of who He is. He came into the world in humility, as a baby King, to save us, to set us free from sin, trauma, and every weight that holds us back. As Isaiah 9:6 says, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” In Him alone, we find our true identity and the reason we are here.
Following Jesus is not just something we do for a season—it is life itself. I surrendered my life fully to Him in 2015, and that remains the best decision I have ever made. Yet even now, I am still being refined. When I returned to the USA from South Africa in November, it opened the door to a deep and difficult season of reflection that has continued through December. With many tears, I’ve watched God reveal areas of my heart where I have fallen short—places He longs to align fully with His Kingdom. Each day, I choose to surrender, allowing Him to shape, prune, and transform me, even when it is uncomfortable and painful, yet overflowing with His mercy and love. His discipline is gentle but firm, and His presence is constant. Jesus is the reason I keep going, keep growing, and keep becoming more like Him.
I share this because God’s mercy is real for all of us. Jesus came to redeem, restore, and transform, meeting us in our brokenness. He reminds us who we truly are—beloved, chosen, and alive in Him. Fixing our eyes on Him and living out His truth every day is the foundation for fulfilling our purpose. May we not only reflect on His mercy but actively live it out—letting His love shape our hearts, guide our choices, and shine through our lives. As Ephesians 2:4-5 says, “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.” Even in our brokenness, we are made alive and transformed by God’s abundant mercy and grace.
Before I close, I want to share a bit of what I’ve been doing this November and December. I had the joy of visiting some of my family relatives, including my parents in Illinois and Missouri, which was a true blessing. In Amarillo, I am currently supporting a dear friend and her husband as they prepare to welcome their newborn in less than three weeks, and your prayers for covering, peace, and a healthy delivery would mean so much. In my next email, I will share an update on the next season of what God is leading me to do and how He is guiding my steps.
Have a blessed season—keep your eyes on Jesus, the reason we are here, and let His love guide every step.
Walking with Him,

My beloved parents!
A precious moment captured with my dad—
both of us dressed up and cheesing together.
Grateful for every moment I get to spend with them.
My precious nieces and nephews!
Time truly flies—these little ones are growing so fast!
They keep reminding me how quickly the years go by
(and yes… I’m getting older too, haha).
My dear pregnant friend Hadassah and her husband Mason at 37 weeks!
It’s been such a joy to support them during this season.
Counting down the days until their little one arrives—
please keep them in your prayers!
