It's a new year, a new month, a new week and a new lap has begun. Everything is new and it's always a refreshing feeling. On the first day of this year I read the last day of a Christmas devotional I was still doing. And I would love to share it with you today. … Continue reading New Future
Faro, Portugal: My Gethsemane
My Gethsemane. When this year I watched The Garden by Michael Todd and Transformation Church I learned that Gethsemane means oil press or the Place of Pressure. And if you have been following the blog, you can see that this year for sure started (and went on) in pressure. My baby cousin had just died … Continue reading Faro, Portugal: My Gethsemane
Neverending

I’m Tapping In!
For some days now I have been leaving this one box unchecked on my to-do list: write down His promises and tap in to His faithfulness!

From My Appeal To Yours
30-11-2022Today I finished watching this episode and at the end of the sermon, during the appeal, I give my life to Jesus again. I give my life to Jesus. My life is His. I am His.

Denying Myself
22-11-2022Yesterday I read the following verse: Matthew 16:24 [HCSB] - “Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.” And I realized.. fasting and praying is also denying myself.

Generosity Comes From The Heart
20-11-2022So today I learned to give. No, no, I learned to forgive others of their debt. This morning around 6:45h when I was praying sitting up in bed, God spoke to me. In the midst of the Lord's prayer: Mateo 6:12 - I pordoná nos nos debenan, meskos ku nos ta pordoná nos debedornan. Matthew … Continue reading Generosity Comes From The Heart
