For those who have followed the Lighthouse-Ermelo journey over the years, I wanted to share a little about what God has been doing in this new season.
In the last year of the Lighthouse’s operation, I had a distinct feeling that I was going to write a book. I did not know what it would be about, and honestly, I did not have much time to think about it. For years, I had wanted to develop my own programme, so I assumed that perhaps I would eventually write about the work we were doing through the Lighthouse.
Then life took an unexpected turn.
When it became clear that the Lighthouse would not reopen, there was a season of grief. Not only for me, but for the volunteers who had invested their hearts, time and prayers into the ministry over many years. We had all been part of a very special “Come and See” season with the Lord.
But as one season ended, another began.
With the unexpected gift of time, I found myself slowing down, listening, praying and asking the Lord what was next. What I discovered was that my heart was being drawn back to something that has always been one of my first loves: discipleship and supporting people on a one-to-one basis.
What followed has been a deeply personal journey. As I processed my own emotions surrounding the closure of Lighthouse, the Lord began revisiting parts of my story that I had not thought much about in years. To my surprise, much of it centred around my infertility journey and the lessons He taught me during that season. Although my circumstances today are very different, I found myself walking through many of the same emotions, questions, surrender and growth that I experienced back then.
The Lord, in His kindness, reminded me that the things He teaches us are rarely for one season only.
What began as writing a book became a healing journey of its own. The result is Heart Strong, the first book in what has now become a broader journey called Power Code Living.
The name comes from a Word the Lord impressed on my heart during this transition:
“Yzelle, I have given you a power code. If you are Heart-Strong, Mind-Strong, Body-Strong and Spirit-Strong, you will be able to overcome anything that comes your way.”
Easier said than done.
But the exploration has begun.
So today I would like to welcome you to this new season. Power Code Living is not a departure from the journey God has led me on over the years; it is simply the next chapter. In the months ahead, I will be sharing some of the things the Lord has been teaching me, along with pieces of my testimony that form part of this journey.
Many of you have also asked whether I will continue offering individual support sessions. The answer is yes. It has taken some time to complete the necessary registration processes, but everything is now in place. The relevant information is included below for anyone who may be interested or who knows someone who could benefit from individual support.
