Testimony of Ana & Steve Westhoek
Long time coming to this blog post, I know. It will be lengthy, but bear with me. Grab a cup of tea and a biscuit and read through it. Or feel free to read it gradually. This is an important matter and first and foremost, I want to reassure you that I have written this after much research and prayer, which is why it has taken me so long to finish it. Ok, let’s start! So, what exactly is...
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 – But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

At the moment there are just too many possibilities...

To this day brides will spend a lot of time and money on it. Finding the perfect wedding dress for the perfect wedding is an event on its own – there is even a TV show about it. When I was a little girl, I...
As many of you know, Steve and I decided to save our first kiss and obviously sexual intercourse until we were married. Some of you thought it is “insane”!

The Bible does not give you specific indications of what you can or cannot do, as long as you do not practice sexual immorality...
