\n<\/a> \"Eleke\"<\/a>I am Naomi’s big sister. Four years ago I married my honey and now I am mama to almost 3 little children. I’m not so good with words as my little sister, but I will try to tell my story as good as I can.?<\/span><\/div>\n
?<\/span><\/div>\n
I have loved God as long as I can remember. I am so thankful to my parents that they gave me Jesus. They couldn’t have given me anything that is more beautiful, more important and real.<\/span><\/div>\n
?<\/span><\/div>\n
Whatever my little sister may claim, about how angelic I always was, I have always been a very human human :). I still remember very well how I struggled with my little sins as a child. My egoism, anger, ugly thoughts.. I didn’t want these things in my heart. I didn’t want to hurt God with them and still it was (and is) so hard to get rid of these things.<\/span><\/div>\n
?<\/span><\/div>\n
When I was about 13 I felt a growing desire to change and have a personal relationship with God. I was?baptized?when I was 14. Right after my baptism I started to doubt very much. Had I been ready for this? Wasn’t I supposed to feel so different and changed now?<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
?<\/span><\/div>\n
For years these doubts made it very difficult for me. Still, at the same time I still felt joy and satisfaction in God. Until one day, God just gave peace and rest in my heart. I was His. And it was so good.<\/span><\/div>\n
?<\/span><\/div>\n
That has been several years ago. I have felt very close to God, but I’ve felt far away, too. My spiritual life has a lot of high points, but many low points as well. By God’s grace I hope and believe that I shall keep on growing in obedience to Him. It is my desire that when I am an older woman, I will be an?inspiring?person, someone who runs over with God’s wisdom and love.<\/span><\/div>\n
?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

God is the only, God is truth. I see that in everything around me. People are put together so unbelievably beautifully. Nature is often so stirringly beautiful. Everything is affected by sin and still I see God’s original, authentic, amazing perfection throughout it. It can give me such rest and security when I am conscious that I am nothing without Him. I pray that I can learn more and more of God’s greatness through my own smallness.<\/span><\/p>\n
