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
Reign in The Garden
My plan was to park here, right in between this hotel or Airbnb and the ocean. This little hidden corner, with a ramp, some stairs and a tiny sandy beach to enter the water. My plan was to park the car here, continue my devotional, quickly after go for a run and be back to … Continue reading Reign in The Garden
A Bonfire In The Garden
30-8-2025What to do with all the pruned debris and pulled out weeds from when Nurturing My Heart's Garden? Well... we have a bonfire! A marvellous, a wonderful, a heart-warming bonfire. A fire that keeps growing as I continue to throw debris on the bundle. Cleaning and clearing are so satisfying. I love organising, but my … Continue reading A Bonfire In The Garden
Nurturing My Heart’s Garden
It's been a while since I properly sat down and wrote a full-on piece. Not just a short text message, a small commentary on a post or episode where I don't have to think or reflect too much on, or bits and pieces of the day or moments that happen. No, I'm now sitting down … Continue reading Nurturing My Heart’s Garden
[WID0100] Guest Post by Gomes: The Path Before Speed – The Wisdom of Pausing
Heads up! This post has two versions: English & Português. Just keep scrolling to find the second version. We live in a world of urgency. Time slips through our fingers, and society teaches us that arriving fast is more important than arriving well. Hurry, run, don’t stop—that’s what we hear constantly. But what’s the point … Continue reading [WID0100] Guest Post by Gomes: The Path Before Speed – The Wisdom of Pausing
Join Me In Today’s Devotional and Reflection: The Mantle/Moment That Changed Everything
Today my devotional time will be a bit different. Because today, I will do it together with you. A moment of reflection that has to be shared. You know I am a firm supporter of sharing our stories, our experiences, our testimonies throughout our relational journey with God. Which means, I'd need to keep doing … Continue reading Join Me In Today’s Devotional and Reflection: The Mantle/Moment That Changed Everything
Do Not Fear, For He Has Redeemed You; He Has Called You By Your Name; You Are His.
I'd been avoiding to start rewatching The Chosen again. I had started twice with my crew (young adults church group) and stopped twice as well, because... life? We kept finding it harder and harder to plan a day again to continue the watch, due to work, vacations, you know... life? But oh my, oh my, … Continue reading Do Not Fear, For He Has Redeemed You; He Has Called You By Your Name; You Are His.
Sweet Month of February Full of Goodies
A sweet month of February full of goodies can only follow a Spirit-filled month of January full of victories! Oh my goodness, last month was so satisfying, it's crazy. And I guess there is something going with the number 21, or maybe it's just me that keeps following it, but in January I joined a … Continue reading Sweet Month of February Full of Goodies
First Fruits: The Words of The Year 2025
A couple of days ago my friend Celita asked me what word God gave me for, or to name this new year. These past years, before the year would start I would already have my answer to that question. But not this year, the end of 2024 went a bit different. Very full the first … Continue reading First Fruits: The Words of The Year 2025
