[WID0070] Guest Post by Maartje: Solo Dios Basta
Heads up! This post has three versions: English, Nederlands & Français. Just scroll down. A lot has happened and changed in recent times and every year after the fasting period, approaching Easter, I see this contrast. People have died, babies have been born, I have closed doors and opened doors. And in every event there … Continue reading [WID0070] Guest Post by Maartje: Solo Dios Basta
[WID0065] Guest Post by Maartje: The Pearl
Heads up! This post has two versions: English & Nederlands. Over the past period, my husband and I have been experiencing several different emotions. Life, death, sorrow, joy. Everything was so intense. Sometimes you live in those periods when everything seems to come at the same time, not 'well' distributed, which causes our human heart … Continue reading [WID0065] Guest Post by Maartje: The Pearl
[WID0060] Guest Post by Maartje: Come, The Time Is Now!
Heads up! This post has three versions: English, Nederlands & Français. This time I was inspired with the topic of this blog by a person I met this week who touched me with her story when we realized that we share the faith in Christ. She said: "It's unbelievable! I was standing at the bus … Continue reading [WID0060] Guest Post by Maartje: Come, The Time Is Now!
[WID0055] Guest Post by Maartje: A New Beginning!
I think I can say that we are all ready for a new beginning, always, that is very human in some way. Many songs have been written (Interested? Then listen to Next Year, Baby by Jamie Cullum) about it and every year you hear, see and notice that people around you share New Year's resolutions. … Continue reading [WID0055] Guest Post by Maartje: A New Beginning!

Dear All, Christmas is getting closer. It is cold, there is even some snow and in the evening cheerful lights shine from houses and some lights shine in the city. We have hot chocolate for the children's hands and a glass of mulled wine for the elderly. This winter time let us experience exactly what … Continue reading [WID0051] Guest Post by Maartje: A Matchstick
[WID0048] Guest Post by Maartje: Praying With The Bible?
This time I want to take you to a method of praying with the Bible according to Saint Ignatius of Loyola. “But um… who is this?!” you may wonder. I'll take you into his story: Ignatius of Loyola was a beautiful Spanish man, interested in young life, fighting and seducing women... But in May 1521 … Continue reading [WID0048] Guest Post by Maartje: Praying With The Bible?

[WID0036] Guest Post by Maartje: What Is Love?
This photo above fits well with what I think about love. It's beautiful, everyone admires it, but what we can see is just "blurry": there is so much more to discover. I thought carefully about how to write a blog about love. Love is something we all know! Loving a parent, a partner, a son … Continue reading [WID0036] Guest Post by Maartje: What Is Love?

Revelation 4:11 [NIV] - You, our Lord and God, are worthy to receive the glory, the honor, and the power; for You created all things, and for Your sake it was and was created. A few years ago I picked up painting again. It is interesting and inspiring to look at a photo of a … Continue reading [WID0025] Guest Post by Maartje: The Creation
