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
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
Good Bye 2024 & an Embracing Welcome 2025
How are we on the last day of the year already? I mean, how are we in 2024 already? Time is literally flying. Racing! It's the end of times! Haha, not a somber blog post. But true though. Right now, before the year ends, I just want to say thanks. Thank You, to our loving … Continue reading Good Bye 2024 & an Embracing Welcome 2025

Pruning Season
"Pruning". It's been some intense days, weeks and months. Heck, years. I believe I wrote about this already, haha. But oh my goodness, every time I believe God is done, He keeps revealing another plot to the story. To My story. His story for me. The one He carefully wrote for me. My God is … Continue reading Pruning Season
