A time we talked so oftenAnd I would express my feelingsAsk for guidance till it became one sided And I kinda felt I needed space You were always a better fatherPerhaps I never knew you well enoughI never let my mom's hate for you crowd my thoughts about youCause often when we talk, it’s all … Continue reading [WID0044] Guest Post by Mwenecho: Absence

Committing To The Commitments
I spoke about making a new or another commitment in a blogpost I posted January of this year. About posting weekly and even several times a week. But lately I noted that when I feel worn out or my soul feels weary, I start to postpone. I wait for the energy to come back. I … Continue reading Committing To The Commitments
Summercamp ’22
I thought this was my first time camping or "summercamping", but I actually went to an end of the school year camp when I was 11 years old. We went by bicycle, it was the Netherlands with its menopausal weather, we were expected not to shower every day and were told to bring long socks … Continue reading Summercamp ’22
“She Looks Like Me”
This morning when I went on Instagram and opened my aunties story I saw a post by @Aljazeeraenglish about the reactions little black children have when learning Disney's little mermaid Ariel is black. That now Ariel has the same skin colour as they have. Their genuine reaction. Their words. Their eyes. It all brought tears … Continue reading “She Looks Like Me”
[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?

[WID0034] Guest Post by Sophia: Say Steward, What Do You Think About Your Functioning?
I've been wanting to share something about the "creation" for a while now. Well, actually mainly about how we deal with creation. Our stewardship. Genesis 1:28-29 says that God blessed the people and that we are rulers over the earth, the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky and over all the beasts … Continue reading [WID0034] Guest Post by Sophia: Say Steward, What Do You Think About Your Functioning?

So, Why Not?
Is there something you always wanted to do? But never did because of whatever reason or excuse. You delayed it, shelved it, covered it.. but it’s still there in the back of your mind. Or the back of your head. Or in the back of that drawer or your closeth. What is it that is … Continue reading So, Why Not?
