See what I did there? Not a side note, as I said last time was the last time. So, this time, a post-note. And it actually is. The title fits better. I guess we will be going back and forth a bit. Back to the weeks I spent in Guiné-Bissau and then back to the … Continue reading Mission 2.0 – A Post-Note
Mission 2.0 – Week 3: “The Walk of Faith is A Balanced Blend of Prayer and Action”
Tuesday 25 November It’s 15:56h, and I want to take a shower, go to bed and cry. I guess that means I have to write. The day is not over yet, but it’s been a challenge so far. We are still in the phase of explaining to people that the consultation days are Monday, Wednesday … Continue reading Mission 2.0 – Week 3: “The Walk of Faith is A Balanced Blend of Prayer and Action”
But Yahweh Remains Faithful
27-11-2025From the preaching I watched yesterday, I wrote down the chapters the pastor had advised to read. They were example prayers and would teach us how to pray. Nehemiah 1 and 9, Ezra 9, Daniel 9 and John 17. Yesterday I started reading them, starting with John 17. Right before I went to bed. This … Continue reading But Yahweh Remains Faithful
Mission 2.0 – Okay, One Last Side Note
Last one, before we continue with the weeks, which I have started preparing already. The last time I explained the hectic and gave you the short version of all that happened the past weeks. This time, a short update. I am slowly getting back. And it's nice. I am taking my time and also allowing … Continue reading Mission 2.0 – Okay, One Last Side Note
Mission 2.0 – Another Side Note
Yes, another side note. Because I’m not completely back yet, but getting there. And I will definitely still share all I want to. All there is to share. And it’s a lot!

Breaking Through A Dusty Layer
23-11-2025I haven’t even started typing yet and I’m crying already. Well, my eyes are watering with tears. Today has been a mixture of feelings. I’m trying to get back, but also, not really. I’m entering a new phase. Maybe a new level. Not yet super saiyan. Just kidding. But no jokes though, I am entering … Continue reading Breaking Through A Dusty Layer
Mission 2.0 – Week 2: Sunk Into Reality
Tuesday 18 November One week today! I woke up better, prayed about the day before and today and delivered everything, including my feelings, into Christ's hands. After my devotional, I took a shower and put my nursing clothing on as I would attend some pregnant ladies today. The plan was for me to start the … Continue reading Mission 2.0 – Week 2: Sunk Into Reality
Mission 2.0 – Week 1: Here But Not Completely Here Yet
Tuesday 11 November And so the trip has started! Well actually, it had started already some days before, and actually way before that. But ok, today is the day I’m going back to Guiné Bissau on mission! On such a beautiful date as well, the 11th of the 11th. This traveling ride to Guiné Bissau … Continue reading Mission 2.0 – Week 1: Here But Not Completely Here Yet
How To Be A Daughter?
The answer to that, I did not know. It may sound weird, because once we're born, I guess we're all automatically sons and daughters. But think about it. If parents, who become parents once their children are born, have preparation courses and books on how to parent and be parents. And they spend years learning … Continue reading How To Be A Daughter?
When The Urge to Sprout Is Stronger Than The Urge to Stay Buried
26-10-2025Waking up in the morning with the urge to write… to put it back out there, to release, let go, open my arms and jump again. Trusting, freely, lightly. With “leveza”. Now one of my new favourite words in Portuguese. But actually, no, that’s not correct; I didn’t wake up with the urge to write. … Continue reading When The Urge to Sprout Is Stronger Than The Urge to Stay Buried
