The Day a Guest Pastor Saw a "Pillar" in Me

 

Hey there, lovely souls! 🌟

Today, I want to share a moment from my teenage years that still resonates deeply with me. It’s one of those memories that stays with you, no matter how much time passes. I believe it was God planting a seed in my life—a reminder of my purpose.

When I was 18, during a catechism class, we had a guest pastor named David who visited our church only once. His words that day have stayed with me ever since.

As Pastor David began to pray, he suddenly stopped mid-prayer, looking around the room as if searching for someone. Then, his eyes landed on me.

He asked if he could place his hand on my shoulder, and when I said yes, something truly unique unfolded. He shut his eyes and kept quiet for a moment, nodding gently. It was as if he was seeing or hearing something only God could reveal. I noticed his eyes moving beneath his closed lids, almost as if he was dreaming.

When he finally spoke, he said, "I see you standing like a pillar, with many people leaning on you, and more people will come to lean on you in the future."

At the time, it felt overwhelming. Me? A pillar? But in a way, it made sense, even then. I had already been someone others turned to in times of need, especially friends who were struggling with depression and even suicidal thoughts. I tried to be there for them, to offer love, comfort, and hope.

As the years have gone by, I’ve seen this prophecy unfold in even more ways. Whether it’s in friendships, family, or even strangers I’ve encountered, I often find myself in the position of offering support and strength.

This moment didn’t just happen for no reason. It was God’s way of nudging me, reminding me of my calling. And maybe, just maybe, this story will resonate with you. If you’ve ever felt like your life is insignificant or that you don’t have a purpose, let me remind you—God sees you. And He has a plan for you, just like He has for me.

Sending you love and blessings,
Jana

Hey there!

Hey there, lovely souls! 🌟 Welcome to "My Holy Grail" – my little corner of the internet where I'll be sharing all the Godly goodness that's been happening in my everyday life. Lately, I've been experiencing the presence of Jesus in my daily life more than ever before. He’s showing up in the smallest details to the most significant events, reminding me of His goodness and faithfulness. His love is everywhere – even in the most unexpected places. So, why start a blog? Well, honestly, I just can't keep these experiences to myself anymore! I've realised that these encounters are not just for me to treasure privately but are meant to be shared with others. I also want to remember and celebrate every little thing that God does for me, and this will be like my diary. I'm not no priest or professional. Nope, I'm just your average girl in her twenties, trying to figure out this crazy thing called life. But amidst all the ups and downs, I've noticed so...

08/05/2024 Anxiety

Image
Last week, I caught a cold which is now progressing into the flu. Consequently, I was very lazy and spent most of the time in bed, supposedly "taking care of my body," though I was well aware that I should be preparing for my upcoming semester tests. Today was no exception. I woke up at 7 in the morning, only to fall asleep again and wake up at 11. I had a slow start to my day and only sat in front of my books at 14:00. At 17:00, I decided to take a shower, and after that, as I sat on my bed, it seemed to stare back at me deceivingly, luring me to go to sleep. Fortunately, something drove me to sit in front of my books again. As the night progressed, I became more and more anxious, facing the scary reality of the amount of work I still needed to learn and grasp in time for next week’s tests. At 22:45, I felt a panic attack coming on, so I quickly closed my books and began to pray silently as a packed up my things to go to bed. Usually, I would go to bed and watch series until...

Divine Encounters & Walking Away from What Was No Longer Mine

Hey there, beautiful souls! 🌟 I know it’s been a while since I last posted, life has been busy, but I’ve been feeling the urge to share two very personal and powerful encounters that God has had with me. They’ve both been life-changing moments, and I believe God is still working and intervening in my life every day. This is going to be a longer post but I truly believe it’s worth it. The Mighty Encounter in My Car (June 2024) It all started about a month before I walked away from my ex—sometime in May or June 2024. One day, I was driving, just another ordinary day where I was playing my worship music and having a quiet conversation with God. For me, my car often feels like my personal sanctuary—a place where I can connect with God in peace. I had been praying about worries that had been weighing on me for weeks. I didn’t have answers, but I trusted that God would lead me through it. And, He did—in a way I couldn’t have imagined. As I was driving, something shifted. I can’t expl...
