When we were there for the first time, the road was long and tedious. It was probably the tiredness of that day. Or maybe a bit of the delight of the new place and its details, which stopped me every now and then. We left the car on the red ground, ploughed by deep holes, […]
God does
About children
I had other plans. I wanted to pray for the people at the end of the service. I left the small village church for just a moment. I changed Francis’ diaper, fed the children and left them with Tony. Up to that point the plan had worked. But when I returned to the church, it […]
Goodnesses
Gratitude makes you breathe easier. It’s as if it were expanding your lung capacity. It’s repairing the shortness of your breath, burdened by worry. Gratitude increases your capacity for everything that comes. Gratitude expands your peace. Gratitude for Him expands. Someone recently asked me to recall the little good things God has given me over […]
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 […]
A sense of guilt
It appears every time I see their difficult behavior. I can even explain the situation to myself in various ways, but regardless of the results of the analyses, this small part stays with me. A part of the reason. A part of the non-obvious beginning. Guilt. My fault. The feeling that my children behave this […]
4/ Power of the cross and to love
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 […]
All your houses
For the first family we’ve met, I chose something from my clothes and one capulana. We also had a mosquito net which we didn’t use anymore. And something else, ah! A baby bottle. We packed everything in a big bag and shared with them what was ours. Who knew then that an year later we […]
