Hannah’s Prayer of Praise
“Then Hannah prayed:
“My heart rejoices in the Lord! The Lord has made me strong. Now I have an answer for my enemies; I rejoice because you rescued me. No one is holy like the Lord! There is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.
“Stop acting so proud and haughty! Don’t speak with such arrogance! For the Lord is a God who knows what you have done; he will judge your actions. The bow of the mighty is now broken, and those who stumbled are now strong. Those who were well fed are now starving, and those who were starving are now full. The childless woman now has seven children, and the woman with many children wastes away. The Lord gives both death and life; he brings some down to the grave but raises others up. The Lord makes some poor and others rich; he brings some down and lifts others up. He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump. He sets them among princes, placing them in seats of honor. For all the earth is the Lord’s, and he has set the world in order.
“He will protect his faithful ones, but the wicked will disappear in darkness. No one will succeed by strength alone. Those who fight against the Lord will be shattered. He thunders against them from heaven; the Lord judges throughout the earth. He gives power to his king; he increases the strength of his anointed one.” Then Elkanah returned home to Ramah without Samuel. And the boy served the Lord by assisting Eli the priest.”
1 Samuel 2:1-11 NLT

Hi, everyone!
Actually, this blog was not meant to be about me but my latest conversations with God have driven me to the fact that I need to share some info about myself too.
When we say that God has given some people some talents, we usually think of something very extrovert-ish , like singing, helping people, doing business, preaching and stuff. I am a woman of 33 and all my entire life I've been studying. School, university (BA and MA), different extracurricular courses and stuff.
The last year was my first year with no education and almost no books. I somehow decided that if my hubby and I are going to have kids and he wants me to be a housekeeper and a stay-at-home mom, then my God given talent and my purpose in life are something like "have kids, be a mom, clean the floor". So, that's it, focus on it, stop wasting your time on books.
To tell you the truth, it made me so depressed that I finally realized I have suicidal thoughts, which of no doubt are not from God and are not the ones He wants us to have. And you know what? I started seeking God's answer on my questions: "what am I supposed to do? What is my purpose?" I started praying, reading the Bible...
At first I also wanted to know wether I am going to have kids or not, whether I should find a job, whether I should forget about education, reading, profession and whatever. But God is so good! He truely opened my eyes and showed me quite unexpected truths I now want to share with you, guys.
I feel so much drawn to studying and readying... I thought it was bad, but God clearly told me that no, that's definitely good for me because
it makes me alive, makes me happy and gives me power to be kind and loving with other people,
it battles depression,the enemy's tool to draw me away from God and
it possibly is THE thing He wants me to do in life.
No, I don't need to know the future. Whether I have kids or not, whether I will ever get a job, whether I will ever start a business - STOP THINKING ABOUT IT, God told me. Just go and read your book! This is what I want you to do".
Education has played a huge role in my finding and then building relationship with Christ. Probably, studying and reading, learning languages and delving deep into science are the things God created me to do. I have no idea , how my life will turn out, but I am happy as Jesus is always there for me and I am never alone. There are so many beautiful stories of people being so "average" till their 40#/50s/60s/70s and then suddenly finding their true purpose in life , that it makes me undoubtedly think that our almighty and so loving God has plan for every each of us. And those plans are so unique and so beautiful that all we need to do is just trust Him.
Some people were created to preach, others to perfect moms or dads, others to be cool professionals, others just to be the ones who is always waiting home to help and care for, others to glorify Christ through different art forms... or crafts... or cooking... oh, there are so many things we can do! And sometimes we just have to stay still and wait and just ket God do His work to fulfill His plan on us.
Unfortunately, I can't say that God certainly wants you to do something you love most because quite often we love sin. But what I want to say is
Build strong relationship with Jesus, speak to Him, ask Him to show you His will and He will answer!
With lots of love, Anna

What are you worrying about?
Is this thing necessary for God’s kingdom? No? Then it’s not worth the worries. [Matthew 6:33]
Can you change the thing by worrying? No? Then the worries are senseless. [Luke 12:25] You know what makes sense? To pray over it and give it to God fully. [James 5:13a]
Because you are not living to worry about the things of this world but only about the things of heaven. That’s why you are still here and not in heaven. So pray to God that He might open your eyes for the IMPORTANT things of life.
You are made to give God glory with your life. That’s the point. Worries don’t give glory to Him.
