On my way to the Prayer House 2 days ago, i stopped to talk a bit with one of the rromi lady. She started to pour out her heart to me, telling that she has to go home to her sick kids and i stood and listened and after encouraging her i was going to continue my path. But after we said good bye and i walked away a few steps from her, she looked at me and after a break, with tears is her eyes, she said ''i am going to miss you so much and i love you!'' That just broke my heart so, i went back to her and huged her for some moments and she cried in my arms. It was such a deep moment. Felt like all her sufferings were transfered to me. It really hurt.
The next moment, a girl walks down to us, asking if everyting is ok. And literally stopped and checked out. I told her that it's ok she is just sad of all her problems and that she has to go home. So, this girl asked me if she can sit there with us for a while. The next moment i was sitting with her there and after a while she asked if i have any plans? i said not really. So we went and had some coffee and later dinner together. She started to say that is so strange that she stopped, she couldn't tell why she did it. It was like something made her stop, something that she would never do. It was strange.
But i knew why she stopped. I knew what was that something that made her stopped. I managed to share with her what i am doing and she just looked at me with this deep brown eyes saying that ''you are so different and brave to do this.''
My heart just stopped really for a couple of seconds. I was just amazed of what was just happening. So we spend the whole afternoon together, sharing life and just really talking. I am once again in awe of God, how wonderful He puts things together. How wonderful He leads people to us, to the Light that He has put in us.
The story continues with me and her going so deep in life things. She has no faith, she says.I know this will not stop here. We are going to hang out more together and go deeper. But i see the purpose of her stopp, she is searching, she is longing for something greater. It's the longing He has put in each and one of us, we just have to let it come to the surface.
I am so blessed and honoured to be this small piece of the big puzzel in God's plan. Is such a perfect place to be. And the only one i want to be in.

'' He defended the cause of the poor and needy and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know Me? declares the Lord.'' -Jeremiah 22.16-
I have finally got to understand this verse of the Scripture. Been asking for more of God and His heart and He gave me a long process full of suffering and loss but the most amazing and blessed revelation. This revelation is related to this ministry of the rromi people. As i was doing the same things i knew, He brought the extraordinary in the ordinary. What i mean by that is that i have started to get this overflowing heart, overflowed with His passion and compassion and uncoditional love.
This Easter, even though wasn't at all what i would expect, traditional speaking, it was the most significant ever. I have felt the effects of what Jesus did. And that is the unconditional love, til death, that overflows in His heart and the acceptance of everyone, no metter the past, the identity or even the sking colour. I truly understood that it's all about His love and what He has done. I am not..but He IS. He is the God I AM. ''Many times i was wondering why did God presented Himself to Moses the God I AM. That is because i am not, or we are not but He is.'' How wonderful!
We manage to organise this Easter Celebration on Good Friday with the purpose of having an open dinner and of course celebrate what Jesus did. We invited the rromi people as well. Honestly we were not expacting many to come, they were quite sceptical when we told them. So we have cooked only for 40 persons max. Well guess what? They were keep coming and coming and we realised we were arround 60. So, we started to pray that the same God who multiply the bread and fish would multiply this food, couse seriously, there was no way it could be enough for all. And He did. More than that, even leftovers and managed to gave away small packets of food and even they were talking with each other saying that probably God has multiplyed the food because people were eating but the food was not finishing. :)
So, it was a remarcable evening! I am still not over it! i am still in awe of what God has done and how He brought them all there.
Afterwards, i kept having this thought that i should go and spend my Easter sunday with them, there where they ''live'' in the parking places. So i did. And i just have to say, i was more than blessed to just sit down and hear random stories and all kind of discussions and felt like i have become like one of them, no longer ''the romanian'' but ''our girl''. This is just such a joy for my life! i have realised imediatly that the verse above is so true, when i get closer to them, i understand and know God. Of course through Scripture and Prayer you know God as well but identifying yourself with people arround you, becoming part of their eveyday life and being there for them is totally God's heart. So, now i feel like i have gain such a precious knowledge about God. Love into action. That is how His love is, through action.
Standing up for them, fighting for them against all it's so worth it.
Even if most of the things in my life at the moment are not in order or are totally a chaos, this one thing brings life and light into my life! and i intend to grow it! i do want more of God. It's such a blessing and an honour to love people, to develop this love and just to call out the beauty in each person arround you.
So..this is how i have seen a small glimpse of one of my biggest dreams come true..it's so beautiful. I will not give up believing!
''If your dream or vision is big enough that you can make it happen, means it's not big enough.'' I dare to have BiG dreams because i have a BiG GOD! :)
