I am deeply passionate about working with vulnerable children, adults, and their families, with a focus on education, parenting, mental health, and wellbeing, as well as empowering people to begin their own personal journeys and find their path in life. I grew up in a disadvantaged family, and that experience shaped who I am today, giving me resilience and a strong sense of purpose in this amazing world we call home. My journey has led me to this path, and sharing my lived experiences is my way of encouraging others to believe in themselves and put their faith in God. Even in the darkest moments, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. This is what I am passionate about, and what I continue to build through my work and my writing.

Encouragement

crinamorpho

Our life sometimes can be stressful, full of problems, concerns, you name it…

Not knowing what is next in your life, can be so discouraging. Many people develops a form of anxiety which later one takes the form of depression. We are dealing with uncertainty during this Corona virus pandemic, we can’t control many things these days, not knowing what tomorrow brings can leave us powerless over the direction of our life.

We are people, human being so we like to feel safe and to have a sense of control in our lives.

I think 4 or 5 years ago, I felt anxious and had a lot of problems to solve in my life. I remember going to church to hear the message but it didn’t help, I was encouraged for 2, 3 hours and then back to sadness again.

One day my aunt came from Italy and ask me for a favour, to go with her to the passport service in town. I went with her and while I was waiting for her, a little girl came to me and took my hand and asked me ”how are you”? I told her I am fine, then I asked for her name, she said ”NARCISA” then she gave me a hug. I was about to cry, like that kid just came to me and gave me a hug, not even knowing me. My heart needed that encouragement. I felt like all my sadness went away and gave me a purpose in life, to see the life different. This little girl and her family looked so poor, with some dirty clothes but their little girl heart was gold. This gave me much more courage to finish my social work studies and to help people like them. In 2017 I finished my studies.

When you feel uncertain, anxious, discouraged in your heart, God sends you someone to hug you, just receive and open your eyes to see the people around you, the ones which are ready to help you out!

We need encouragement in our lives, we need people to show us affection and care.

We can encourage others too, be nice and kind to people!

7 activities to do with your children during quarantine

crinamorpho

During this time of lock down we spend our time at home with the FAMILY! While staying at home and practising social distancing outdoor, clearly we spend most of the time inside. So for those with kids in home I prepared 7 examples of activities to enjoy/to do with your kids.

I work in a nursery since last year, here in London, I have noticed kids love to play in their own way with toys, and they can make have fun with an object we can’t even think about e.g. a broom and/or dust pan.

i encourage you to get involved in kids play, if you have a baby is so important to interact with the baby. You can interact by playing, speaking, singing, making funny faces. There is a term ”serve-return” which means the back and forth interactions between a parent and a child.

Here are some activities to enjoy with your precious children

  1. Baking time- Baking with your children is amazing. Now depends on the age of you kid/kids. It can turn in a messy play, a wonderful discussion between you and your child. Also baking enhances fine motor skills, teaches life skills, increases Math ability, and so on.

2. Join online courses about what your kid is interesting in, this depend on your kid age. Science courses are amazing and really interested, you can assist the child while trying the experiments.

3. Rice Play – is so much fun! In a tray add some plain rice or coloured with food colouring, add spoons, pots, cups and let the baby enjoy this sensory play.

4. Board games – These are for the older kids.The games develop cognitive skills in children

5. Garden time – if you have a garden, you are lucky, if not take the kids and go to the park (if your country allows you). Outdoor activities are refreshing, gives energy. Now is the moment to teach your child how to ride the bike.

6.Cinema time – Choose together a movie to watch, some popcorn and fresh juice ? You can learn the kid how to make fresh juice.

7. Household chores – great idea! and no, you do not have to pay your kids for doing it! This activity is for older children, maybe over 7 y.o. They can clean their own room, fold laundry, clean bathroom, wash windows, etc.

I AM FORGIVEN

crinamorpho

Yes, I am free, I am forgiven!

We are born sinners, we live a life of sinners, until we met HIM and we realise that Jesus actually died for us and washed away our sins. And all He wants in return is to believe.

I lived 15 years not knowing Jesus, not knowing that he have done so much more me.

I became a Jesus follower when I was 15 years old, Someone took me to an amazing Church called Greater Grace Brasov. There I’ve received God in my heart and I accepted him like my saviour!

Accepting him, I’ve received eternal life, I know I am going to heaven when my body dies.

BUT I AM FORGIVEN BY THE GRACE OF GOD!

1 John 1:9 says ”If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”.

Unconditional love, God let his son to die on earth for our sins, isn’t this amazing and unconditional love?

I am forgiven, but doesn’t mean I do not sin anymore, I do, because I still have my own nature which wants to her own will, we are tempted and live in our flesh. But having Holy Spirit is something that reminds me that I am forgiven and I have to go back to God and pray, stay in silence and listen to his words! And he is so GOOD to me.

Even though we are forgiven doesn’t mean that we can sin every day knowing He died for our sins, no, is not about this!

Believe in God, have faith, read the bible and know that you are FORGIVEN!

JOHN 3:16

Traducere în română

SUNT IERTAT

Da, sunt liberă de păcat!

Suntem născuți păcătoși, trăim o viață de păcătoși, și asta până când îl întâlnim pe Isus, și realizăm că Isus a murit pentru noi, pentru păcatele noastre. Și tot ceea ce vrea Isus în schimb, este să avem credință în El, să credem!

Eu am trăit 15 ani făra să-L cunosc pe Isus, fără să știu ce a făcut El pentru mine.

Când aveam 15 ani, cineva m-a luat într-o duminică dimineața la Biserică, așa am cunoscut Biserica Mărețul Har Brașov. Acolo am cunoscut cuvântul lui Isus, am fost botezată în 2015, și mai mult mi-am dat seama de iertarea primită de la Dumnezeu.

De asemenea, L-am acceptat pe Isus ca salvator al meu, acceptandul-L am primit viața veșnică, când corpul meu va murii, eu știu ca voi ajunge în rai.

DAR CEL MAI IMPORTANT SUNT IERTATĂ!

În 1 Ioan1:9 este scris: ”Dacă ne mărturisim păcatele, El este credincios și drept ca să ne ierte păcatele și să ne curățească de orice nelegiuire’‘.

Iubire necondiționată, Dumnezeu și-a lăsat fiul să moară pentru păcatele noastre, pentru a ne salva pe noi de la Iad, așadar oricine crede in El, și își mărturiseșete păcatul va primi viața veșnică în Rai. Nu este asta iubire necondiționată din partea lui Dumnezeu?

Eu sunt iertată dar asta nu înseamnă că pot păcătuii în fiecare zi, gândindu-mă că Isus a murit pentru păcatele mele, nu așa funcționează.

Odată ce devii creștin, spălat de păcate, tot mai avem în noi firea veche păcătoasă, cea care încă are pofte, ne tentează și vrea să trăiască fără Isus, dar având Duhul Sfânt în noi ( și Duhul Sfânt nu este nimic magic, nu vorbim în limbi, etc) dar este ceva ce ne amintește de viața cu Isus, ca suntem iertați și orice păcat facem să mergem la Isus și El este vrednic și credincios să ne ierte și să ne dea o viață plină de bucurie, pace, în momentele noastre de tristețe.

Să avem credință, bucurie în Isus, știind că suntem iertați!

1 IOAN 3:16

THE JOY OF SADNESS

crinamorpho

Few years ago, Lady N had so much sadness in her heart that every day and night she planned her suicidal note for the one, two people still believing, loving her. For about a month she could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. Her sadness turned into depression. Being depressed is the worst nightmare. Nobody can take the depression away, is just between you and GOD.

Sadness is a normal human emotion that everyone feels once in a while. Like I said, sadness is a reaction to a loss, disappointment, problems in your family, financial struggle, a sick kid, etc. But the depression is a mental health that affects all your life aspects, is much deeper.

How can we involve God, when we are sad, depressed?

The Lady in our example, gave us her story.

”I was going through so much in my life back then, family issues, financial broken, my job offered me a low income, I had to study and to work, and the love chapter was there but not really, actually I felt unloved and I had no one to listen to me or support me, there was a lot of fake people in my life, and still they are.

I was a Christian, went to Church every week, listen to God’s word, but still my heart was not fulfilled. I knew something was missing from my life, I was looking at the people around me they looked happy, they had a nice family, a house, stability. And I had nothing, no plans for the future, no stability. My syptoms were

I could not focus on my every day tasks

Want to sleep all day long

I could barely get out of my bed and dress myself in the morning

No smile on my face all day long

And suicidal thoughts in my head. Actually I took some piles, I was so sick that day.

All this lasted for about 1 month. And then I talked with God, please help your child, you say in the bible that you will not give us more than we can handle, help me overcome this situation, and give me peace, love and wisdom.

I prayed and waited in silence for Him to give me Joy, and healing. Every day I prayed, and tried to work even though my mind said no. After a while I saw my life took a right turned, someone offered me a better pay job, and every little thing gave me confidence. A year later my life is totally changed, my faith is restored and I learnt to trust HIM again. I have a lot of joy, peace and learnt from my mistakes”.

I know is not easy to overcome depression, sadness, but try to speak with Him, read your bible, ask your Pastor, and write down all your thoughts and then find a solution for every thought/problem. It will help a lot.

Just think that you are not alone, you still have 1-2 people believing, loving you, ask for help.

In our life we going through a lot of sadness, anxiety and sometimes depression, in those moments how important is our life, we have value, all our problems are temporarily, be patient, have faith, surround yourself with wise people.

The joy comes from trusting God!

PALM SUNDAY

crinamorpho

Today, some people are celebrating the Easter, I wish them a blessed Easter! May god give you joy, hope from his abundance!

I will celebrate the Easter next week, because we follow the Orthodox Church, which they follow the Julian calendar. I am not an Orthodox but I am from Romania so I celebrate the same day the orthodox does. Is not important when we celebrate but its important to know what we celebrate, the meaning of the feast!

Now, what is Palm Sunday?

Well, Palm Sunday commemorates the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem

(Matthew 21:1-9). Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter that begins the Holy Week. As Jesus rode a donkey into the town of Jerusalem a large crowd laid palm branches and their cloaks on the road, and the crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices ”Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord”

”Peace in heaven and glory in the highest”. I wish I was there to praise Jesus!

The HOLY WEEK

Sunday – Commemorates the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem

Thursday – Jesus was arrested

Friday – His crucifixion

Jesus is the son of Good, he was born in Bethlehem, his earthly parents are Mary and Joseph.

God sent His only Child to die for us so that whoever believes in him to have eternal life, so that we can be with Him in the heaven.

Let’s just remember the meaning of Christ Resurrection!
