“Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable”
5-9-2023This morning I continue to read Relationship Goals by Michael Todd: “If I’m here and it’s uncomfortable, it’s for my growth.

I went to bed and the thoughts … Continue reading “Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable”
The Circle of The Lesson of Life
Here I am again. I think about 5 years ago I made a plan for the years then to come. And now I’m here, again. Making myself another plan. This time one of five years. A quite simple plan.

Our Business Is With God

Robert Morris has been speaking about our heart, our part, our reaction to when God calls us to do something. But never the focus on how the receiving part reacts. Which is beautiful. Only in … Continue reading Our Business Is With God

Don’t Dismiss The Teacher
Jesus Christ was preaching on the hillside to 5000 heads of households counted. Which means about 15.000 to 20.000 people. He was preaching the morning and continued and continued. Christ was talking, preaching, teaching. And everyone was learning and eagerly wanting to learn more. His twelve disciples, the ones close to Him, led by what … Continue reading Don’t Dismiss The Teacher
What You Sow Does Not Come To Life Unless It Dies
Just a short reflection on this part of the verse: 1 Corinthians 15:36 [HCSB] -- “What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.” 1 Corinthians 15:36 [CEV] -- "A seed must die before it can sprout from the ground." Paul was talking about the resurrection there. Also that we’re not planting our … Continue reading What You Sow Does Not Come To Life Unless It Dies
