Why abiding?

Hello,

My name is Otilia Greab, wife to Adi and mother to Jayden, Rachel, Olivia, Lois and Emma. I am a Christian woman whose greatest desire is to walk and live lead by my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is this passion I had since my childhood to serve Him in whatever capacity I might be able to, with joy, faith and wisdom.

I have a background in Christian theology, linguistics, and the Romanian language, along with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing. I worked in nursing for 20 years across various settings, a vocation I deeply enjoyed. Since the changes brought by COVID to my family’s life, we chose for me to become a stay-at-home mom, and I couldn’t be more grateful for that decision. In 2022, God placed on my heart the desire to start a blog. Though I loved the idea, I repeatedly brought it to Him in prayer, feeling I never had the time to begin despite His gentle, persistent prompting.

However, my breast cancer diagnosis in spring 2025 transformed my perspective on life and deepened my relationship with God profoundly. Now, my greatest desire is to serve Him wholeheartedly, making Him my daily priority. To seek first the kingdom of Heaven, trusting that He will provide everything else I need—including time and the opportunity to journal.

During the seven long months of cancer treatment and healing, I spent much time reflecting on God’s character and the many names attributed to Him throughout the Bible.

That’s why I am here—to make Him known, to share the story of my God who is full of majesty, goodness, and love. He deserves every part of me, and in this season of my life, He deserves my pen and my paper. So, I began writing down my experiences with Him, hoping to inspire others to love Jesus more deeply, draw closer to His Word, and become courageous Christians who build His kingdom right where they live.

Many blessings,

Otilia
