The Why
FROM MY HEART TO YOURS
Our Vision
Our ultimate desire is for you to live a fulfilling and confident life in Christ, understanding that you are never alone. We aim to speak life into and illuminate the dark places, breaking the chains that have bound God's children for too long. Our vision is that those who connect with our ministry will come to know the abundance of God's love and experience the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
We hope that as you come to know Him, you will begin to live a life filled with His fruits—abounding in hope and joy—and that your mourning will turn into dancing. Through this ministry, we seek to bring restoration: restoration between God and His children, restoration of identity, and restoration of what the enemy has stolen from you.
We pray that as you grow your roots deep in Him, you will flourish and step into your God-given identity and purpose.
Our Verse
1 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
for the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted
and to proclaim that captives will be released
and prisoners will be freed.
2 He has sent me to tell those who mourn
that the time of the Lord’s favor has come,
and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies.
3 To all who mourn in Israel,
he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
that the Lord has planted for his own glory.
isaiah 61:1-3
Hey Friend!
The Why
Have you ever experienced struggle and felt completely and utterly alone in the thick of it? Or, felt surrounded by a mighty ocean storm, with colossal waves crashing over you, making it hard to come up for air? Perhaps, you have walked a long and tiresome journey, only to be confronted by a towering wall.
Well, friend, if your answer is "yes", then we already have something in common! I’ve been there – more than once!
What I love about God is His perfect timing. When He placed the seed in my heart in 2021 to start a blog, I had just emerged from one of the most difficult seasons I have yet experienced. It was a season where I felt totally alone, lost and forgotten, with crippling fear, anxiety and insecurity weighing me down in almost every moment. But as God promises, He transformed it for good - including the good of others - when he whispered, "Ange, you need to write about this. You're not the only one."
The world is a daunting and challenging place that we cannot face alone. We experience hurt, pain and struggle daily, often feeling like 'nobody understands' or that 'we have to face it alone'. But we are designed to live in relationship – with our God and with others! Sometimes what we don't realise, is that someone near us is battling something similar or has just emerged on the other side with bountiful wisdom and clarity to impart. More importantly, we sometimes fail to understand that we serve a God who is bigger than our pain and has defeated the power of death! We serve a God who can lead us through the challenging times and provide incomprehensible peace and hope amid the storm! When we come to know this, we can experience freedom, hope and joy, no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in.
Now, I'm still young, which means that I am still on the journey. But during my time here on earth, I have experienced a great deal of hardship and because of that, have encountered great depths of God's heart. Since knowing His radical love, He has taken me on a journey where He has completely broken the chains that once bound me and given me a sense of identity and purpose. I would have once complained about and questioned why I had to endure such challenging circumstances, but now I am glad that they are part of my story. “Why?” You may ask. Well, because God has redeemed these experiences and worked them for good to develop strength, character and the fruits of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control - within me. They have led me to be able to relate and empathise with people from all walks of life and to illuminate the dark places with the light of Jesus.
My thoughts are my own, but they are empowered and influenced by the Holy Spirit. When He speaks, I write - sometimes it even feels like a complete download from Heaven! I may not have all the answers, but I have a relationship with the God who speaks and is all-knowing and have been generously gifted with His wisdom.
Years later, in 2024, God has developed and multiplied this seed and has revealed to me His plans for a greater ministry. In obedience, He has asked me to continue to sow seeds in faith and share the words that He gives me on a greater platform that He will continue to grow. Your support is deeply appreciated, as it contributes to the expansion of not just this ministry, but His Kingdom. I am filled with anticipation for what God does and where He leads us!
We are created to live in community, to lean on each other in the valleys and relish together in life's delights. So, welcome to our little community, where you are seen, loved, and heard.
Every blessing,
