Xronia polla to all celebrating their name days today—Michael, Gabriel, Raphael—Many years! 🙏🏻🤍

As every year, may the Archangels as ministers direct and guard those who are struggling, and be our strength and protection against the enemy.

As if in witness of the glory of God, divine order, and his perfect timing in our lives, my own surrendered prayers centered on timing and patience in the wait today — and would you know it, my feet crossed the threshold of the church at 11:08 AM. Unplanned, and in the see of 150 people waiting their turn. To God be the glory.

Make your prayers known today and the Holy Spirit and His angelic ministers intercede on your behalf 🩵✨

God’s sovereignty and timing 👇🏻

God is sovereign over time: The Bible teaches that God is in control of all time and seasons. He is never early or late, but is always on time according to His perfect plan.

A time for everything: The well-known passage in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 lists many examples, such as a time to be born and a time to die, a time to weep and a time to laugh, and a time to build and a time to tear down.
Waiting is a virtue: We are often instructed to wait patiently for the Lord, as His timing is not always our timing. This waiting is not passive but involves trust, patience, and faith that His promises will be fulfilled.

Trust in His higher plan: God’s thoughts and ways are higher than our own, so we are encouraged to trust that He knows the outcome and the right time to act.

This perspective can help ease anxiety and allow believers to have confidence that He works all things together for their good.

It’s been weighing on my heart to start to read the Bible again. On my bookshelf are dozens and dozens and dozens of Christian oriented- and Orthodox Christian books from over the years that I’ve purchased, devoured, or read more than once…

But, the Bible has been one that I’d start but then lacked the discipline to finish over the years.

While the others are distilled for the layman to understand and consume… it had recently dawned on me that I’ve felt intimidated by the Bible because it’s not meant for me to read understand in my own strength and faculties.

The Holy Spirit is meant to translate it for me because it is the LIVING Word of God.

I’m still intimidated, but keep telling myself that it is simply on me to open to the pages and begin to read again, and to trust that I need to let go of control (fear) and let the Word of God do its work in me with the Holy Spirit as my guide, as I attempt to know and live in Christ more deeply.

I pray that 2025 will continue to renew a right spirit within me.

With the 7th anniversary of this story approaching, I’d like to share more of the inspiration behind Eleni Signs.

This is my family — we took this in Zion National Park this summer. 🤍

The story starts like this. It’s through trials sent to us that we see that the Lord is the ultimate planner when, in prayer, we can yield to His perfect timing for parenting or any situation.

A few years ago, it was put on our hearts to name our next child Daniel if we ever had another boy.

We felt ready to grow our family that year, and were pregnant quickly, but divine timing stepped in on who we were meant to keep.

Our baby’s heartbeat stopped at around 10 weeks—and I found out during a routine ultrasound. My doctor was taking a long time to scan and immediately I thought, “Something is wrong, but Lord I trust you.”

The following weeks were rough; I cried and I prayed a lot.

A month after the miscarriage, I was in San Francisco for a work event and fortunate to be able to visit the relics of St. John Maximovich. My visit came under the advice of the Abbess of a monastery very dear to my heart (forever), whom I visited with shortly after the loss.

I poured out my heart to St. John that if it were aligned with God’s will for our family, that we would get pregnant again.

That night a little girl visited me in my dream and she asked me a question. Our priest, who had prayed for the soul of the departed baby was also in my dream and so was a reference to St. Demetrios.

I won’t go into more detail, but one month later we were pregnant again, by God’s grace.

The baby’s due date—the feast day of the Holy Prophet Daniel—although he arrived eight weeks early on the Eve of the Feast Day of St. Demetrios. He was born at 11:08 pm, the Feast Day of the Archangel Michael, whom I prayed to for protection. He is mentioned in Daniel’s prophesies in the Book of Daniel, and is the name of my other son.

We gave Daniel the middle name John, as a tribute to St. John, and for what I believe in my heart was his intercessions for our “gift”. 🤍

In tearful praise this morning.

“There is joy in this house today.”

Thinking about how the Lord will continue to move in my life, even though I can’t see the promise he put on my heart yet.

I’ve been struggling in a dry season with a company I am building. But, I am praising God today, because he has put the right people in my life, and he has paid off my business debt twice over the last six years — by orchestrating circumstances I have had to walk through in faith.

And, what has happened is that everything and everyone over the last several years has been a gift that I have received — not through my own doing.

Including my home.

He has never failed.

So, as I talk myself out of doubt again, I praise the Lord, because my heart knows that the author of tomorrow is ordering my steps.

I sought the Lord, and he heard and he answered. Time and time again.

Even in my brokenness, He will never fail.
