When the sun is beating down, and you are outside busy with activities, and you forgot your water inside. How refreshing to your body is that first sip of water


Have you ever tried driving from the living waters from God ? It quenches the soul thirst that we don't even always know that we have.

Let’s start from the beginning. I was unknowingly part of the new age movement, that almost everyone is involved in these days. I studied to become a Massage therapist and soon it was yoga, tarot decks, astrology, reiki and even dabbled in witchcraft. During all of this, “I was becoming a better person”, “I was a goddess, send to earth in this time, because it needed “my” healing powers.

I had my psychics on YouTube that I would listen to every week, it was like a drug, what message does the universe have for me.

I would go on “spiritual journeys”, to find out my spiritual animal, ancestors or to work on the dark night of the soul. On one of these journeys, a lady stabbed me in the chest, and black ooze came out. And many more instances of things that i experienced on these trips or meditations.

All just confirming, that "I am special."


But you know what, during all this time. I still hungered for truth. I need to become a reiki master, then I will have the answers. I can heal my anxiety/stress with reiki. Aaah, astrology has all the answers, I need to study that… and still, I could not get rid of this wanting to know more, know the truth. That deep truth that you hunger for, that empty sensation in your chest.


In my darkest hour, when all my manifestation and tarot could not help me to get a way to stay alive with the neccesicities like an income, to pay rent, food etc. I went to meditate because I needed a real answer, a way out of this stressful situation.


Woman in white dress lies peacefully in lush green grass, arms spread, eyes closed. The setting is serene, vibrant, and natural.
Psalm 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.


And I got the answer, from the living waters. Jesus. He appeared to me. His presence was pure, unconditional love. I have never felt so at peace and loved. And he quenched my thirst.

He said "Come Back to Me, I love you!" also translated to come drink from m y fountain and find rest for your soul my child.


Within a month I got a job, moved house. Found an amazing church and community. Who are very supportive and accepting.


My life has changed so much in the past year. Drinking from Jesus, I have become calmer aka less stressed. I have become more patient, I would be so stressed when we dont leave to be there 5 mins before time, and now I am like, we will get there, when we get there. I have given over my NEED for a child over to Jesus,trusting hm to know it will happen when the time is right. I have given my 2025 to him, And I am much more relaxed.


My question to you, how do you drink from Jesus's fountain of living waters in 2025?
