Pastor Sara

It was more than a decade ago that I put down my violin and the following year I started working at KFC. Now here I am, in love with my violin again. But this time I play for God.

Jesus said, come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light...

I recall the day a pastor in Frankfurt, Germany, asked me if I wanted to continue working for satan, or if I wanted to now work for God. I was so offended by this question. I couldn’t believe that anyone would think that they have the right to even suggest that I might be working for satan!

If God put a dream in your heart
Write it -keep it as a treasure
Whatever anyone says, protect the vision with passion...

It is not by chance that God put man and woman together. We are predestined to be a great team:

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
(Genesis 1:27-28)

Don’t give up. Your perseverance is a treasure to God. Keep learning and studying God’s word, stay vigilant...grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever! Amen. (2 Peter 3:15-18 NIV)

The richness of God is present in all things. If you would have seen the surroundings where I took this photo, you may have thought to yourself: where is my weed killer and those wasps look dangerous. But I dared to venture closer and took a photo. This is evidence for me of the richness of God’s creations. The wings are so beautiful and the sunshine really brought out a golden yellow.

In the past, my motto used to be: ‘when in doubt, drink a cup of tea’. It was the answer when there was no answer, and actually it is not such a bad thing to do. Whatever my problem was, I took some time out, boiled the water, let the tea brew, held the warm cup in my hand...but I have since found a much more productive solution.
