Once again I would like to share a day of this devotional I just finished, explaining a bit about my favorite number. It's day 7 of a plan called: Walls Fall Down: God's Unusual Plan For Victory. Enjoy and have a blessed weekend! We see the number seven many times throughout the Bible. It’s the … Continue reading The Perfect Number
Obedience Brings The Blessings
These passed weeks have been intense. Busy, utterly blessed and intense. I'm slowly catching up and getting back to my routine and consistency. I'm getting there. And as I get there -- I climb out of the struggle and two-step my way on the victory platform, posting my own two pieces a week -- I … Continue reading Obedience Brings The Blessings
Transform Noise Into Beauty
On the 4th of April as my date to fly to the Netherlands nears I start the day a bit restless. I woke up well, thanking God for the new day and praying. After that I look at the time and calculate if it's possible to go for a surf. Waiting for response of a … Continue reading Transform Noise Into Beauty
Our Business Is With God
As I read The Blessed Life by Robert Morris in chapter 6, the Gratitude or Greed paragraph, I realize something. 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
The Very First Paragraph In
14-3-2023I just finished reading the first paragraph of the very first chapter of this new book I’m reading by Robert Morris called The Blessed Life. And oh it has blessed me already. The very first paragraph in, I finish it with tears in my eyes and a prayer saying “Father, I want to be like … Continue reading The Very First Paragraph In
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
