Jesus Is The Reason We Are Here<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

December 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Winter Season from the USA!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for all of your support throughout 2025. As this year comes to a close, I am reminded of God\u2019s faithfulness in every season. Even in the storms, He has shown me over and over that He is the One in control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking at Jesus\u2014the One seated on the throne\u2014I 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<\/strong> says, \u201cFor 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.\u201d<\/em> In Him alone, we find our true identity and the reason we are here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Jesus is not just something we do for a season\u2014it 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\u2019ve watched God reveal areas of my heart where I have fallen short\u2014places 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I share this because God\u2019s 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\u2014beloved, 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\u2014letting His love shape our hearts, guide our choices, and shine through our lives. As Ephesians 2:4-5<\/strong> says, \u201cBut 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\u2014it is by grace you have been saved.\u201d<\/em> Even in our brokenness, we are made alive and transformed by God\u2019s abundant mercy and grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I close, I want to share a bit of what I\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a blessed season\u2014keep your eyes on Jesus, the reason we are here, and let His love guide every step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
