In the past eight years I have seen more fog compare to all the previous years of my life. In Newfoundland fog can come in any season: spring, summer, fall/autumn,and winter.
Each situation is blessing, even sometimes--or quite often--we don't see it. Thoughts of a thirty-something Christian woman. Trusting God with all my heart, although struggles do not make it easy.

Judith, Martyred Missionary of Russia 's (Book Review and Author's Biography)
Over a year ago on of my most dearest sisters in faith, Kinuko, introduced me to the book—Judith, Martyred Missionary of Russia A True Story by Nikita Ignatievich Saloff-Astakhoff. The book describes the story of a Jewish girl who became a Christian. Her faith had a very high cost: family, fiance, cultural identity, and ultimately her own life. The Russian name of the book is Невеста Христа (Юдифь)—Bride of Christ (Judith). You can get free version in Russian by clicking on the title.
The book consists of six different chapters: happy days of childhood, refugees, seek and you shall find, persecuted for Christ's sake, dedicated to the Lord, the youthful martyr. Each chapter has it's own style.
