Surrender
27-2-2023Did you realize that when you are in the position of surrender, your head is down, your knees are bent and your arms are wide open directed to the heavens? You surrender, because you don’t want to be in control anymore and allow God to work. I have been in this prayer of surrender and … Continue reading Surrender
New Roads & New Rivers
What a rollercoaster of emotions this week has been. My shark week started on Sunday, so yes, I'm a bit more "hormonal" as usual. But still, what a rollercoaster it was. And it's not even over yet! God and I have been having some deep and clarifying conversations lately and I'm loving it, of course! … Continue reading New Roads & New Rivers
“Feliz Dia Da Mulher”
Or in English: Happy Women's Day. Today is the day they call Women's Day. The day we remember the women in our lives. The day we acknowledge and honour them. The day we lift them up and put them on a pedestal. Discounts and special menu's everywhere. It's a day we're "allowed" to feel special. … Continue reading “Feliz Dia Da Mulher”
All The Way Up
"Nothing can stop me, I’m all the way up!" Do you know that song? "I'm all the way!

God is on my side, guiding my every step, clearing … Continue reading All The Way Up

I always loved learning, but now I also enjoy reading. I explained how my reading comprehension wasn't the best. This … Continue reading Reading Comprehension
Ways In The Wilderness
Guess what? I'm actively and willingly reading books! I never liked reading books. I was always slow, because I got easily distracted and it would take me much longer to read one page than it would take someone else. Also my reading comprehension wasn't the best. So, it never really intrigued me to pick up … Continue reading Ways In The Wilderness
There Is No Turning Back
26-12-2022I finally watched Lord of The Rings. Yes. For the first time ever. And at the end of the third film, The Return of The King, Frodo says the following and of course I reflect. "Your heart begins to understand, there is no turning back." Indeed, at the end of this year, that’s where my … Continue reading There Is No Turning Back
The Bold and Faithful Investment
9-2-2023As I read Acts 20 today where Paul has a farewell address to the Ephesian elders before he goes back to Jerusalem, he says this: “..the church of God, which He purchased with His own blood”. And it made me think, God, Jesus, purchased the church, us, with His own blood. He purchased us. He … Continue reading The Bold and Faithful Investment
