God found me twice. The first time, I was a teenager who had no idea why she existed. The second time, I was a young woman who thought she finally knew—until her fiancé died. God met me in my darkest days. With thoughts that were impossible to silence. Without the strength to keep living. With […]

Place
I wrote about it in a letter at the end of 2023. Today I stand on the threshold of its door and understand more, though nothing yet. A place. The kind we dreamed of. The kind He dreamed of in me. Unprepared by our standards. With uneven walls and numerous holes. With scratched, dirty walls. […]
Walls
I made the decision that I would never love again. It seemed to me the wisest and safest solution at that time. And it didn’t just apply to a man. It applied to every possible commitment. I decided that I would never give my heart away again. I would not open it to anyone or […]
6/ My way to Mozambique
I was right in my place. My work was to love full time. Imperfectly, but always looking at Jesus. However, I quickly noticed a desire in my heart for something more. It’s hard to describe it. I just came to Lodz, turning my life upside down. Only because of Him. But what was burning inside […]
5/ Against human trafficking
The need to be in direct connection with people I am helping to was first named by Andrzej. I called him one day and talked for a long time about the bumps in my personal life and career path so far. And mismatch. And how uncomfortable it was. He didn’t speak for a long time. […]

Healed and whole after the death of my fiancé, I wanted nothing but God alone. I had the feeling that my whole life, which belonged to me, had burnt up inside me. Which I spun and built on a Christian basis. And that He has grown up in me now. Already without any other desires. […]
3/ He heals until the end
One day I was coming home from university. Those were the times when I studied in Gdansk. I felt a certain tension in me, anticipation, and I tried to name it. That was the first time I discovered it. I was looking for a car parked on the street where my brother and I lived. […]
2/ He is above names
In the first year of high school, I already knew a bit about the Bible, so during catechesis I liked to comment on the teacher’s statements based on the Word. One time the teacher asked me to stay in class after the lesson. He said he can see in me the desire to know God. […]
1/ Desire of closeness
For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be close. This cry within me. Cry for God. One Sunday, I don’t know how old I might have been then, but less than thirteen, I went to church. I went to church every week for Sunday Mass, and even every day at certain points […]
