ABOUT ME
“Talk about yourself”. That’s one of the hardest questions to answer in a job interview, or to whomever asks you. I guess opening your life up to other people is scary at times, or difficult, or complex, or whatever comes to your mind right now…
So, I won’t talk about myself. I’ll talk about what God has done, and is still doing in my life.
Hey there, I’m Débora, by the way.
I’ve had the privilege to be born as missionaries’ kid, to have grown up in different countries and to have met incredible cultures, people and different ways of doing things.
My parents had always included my sister and I in their ministry, making us part of it, as a missionary family. They’ve taught us that missions are done here and now, and that wherever we go, we must shine the light of Jesus. I praise God for their lives and example, because that’s the reason I’m here today, being supported and encouraged to write this blog.
Since I was a child I had my whole life planned out. Yes, I really love planning! I planned what I was going to study at university, when I would get married and have kids, where I would live, how many pets I would have, probably even who I wanted to get married with, and what kind of woman I would become.
While I was getting older, God in His love, mercy, and almightiness have been “ruining” my plans over and over again, and now I praise His Name for that!
It wasn't actually nice seeing most of my plans fleeing away, it was hard, and at times also heartbreaking, but in this whole process HE has taught me to trust, to let go, to pray more, to put myself under His almighty wisdom and powerful hands, to lay down my entire life at His feet, and seek for His plans and dreams for me, let Him lead the way and guide each step, and through that grow in faith, in maturity, in real happiness and satisfaction.
Today, I'm in an entirely different direction from what I had planned or thought for myself years ago… I am, live, work, do, know and believe in a way that I have never even imagined I would. And through all these years, I can only see GOD. I can see His mercy and caring hand leading me through His best plans and dreams for my life. I thank and praise Him for my family who have always been with me, no matter what, and for those people who have been important over the years.
More than ever, I am certain that when we place our entire lives in God's hands, we will not have an easy life, without hard times, heartbreaking, crying or pain, BUT we will definitely have a wonderful life, full of meaning, purpose, peace and joy!
That's the feeling and purpose behind Bee Blog. Encouraging you and me to live a life according to what God has designed and created us to be and live.
If you’re just like me, you also have a lot of dreams and maybe old loggings still not answered, but while we wait on our good heavenly Father, let us live a life the way He created us to live, guided through His faithful and truthful path, dreaming His dreams, and handing over our planners to Him.
Walk with me on this journey!
