And this is the reward… The thought that came to mind while watching the picture of our beautiful 3 generational tribe! When all you know is that we just left as if we didn’t care, I can honestly tell you that leaving has been the hardest part of life while staying would be so obvious. …

In closing of the Year 2021
Was thinking what my last post of the year 2021 would be and then this speech of Dr. Vernon Coleman dropped into my mailbox. Was listening to him as I highly value the insights of this "Old Man in a Chair", of course fuelled by my perspective on the world's events in the past few …
When the heart sings unbidden…
It showed up, this post from December 2017, 4 years ago and I still know the moment the thoughts dropped into my heart while driving from our little village to the City. That morning I had read the words of C.S. Lewis in a devotional. And on that drive to the City, the longing for …
A wing and a prayer
By Jordan B Peterson A wing and a prayer or the enemy (this has to stop) God lift me from the intolerable burden of my ignorance, arrogance, wilful blindness, bitterness and resentment. As I pray that others rise above the same faults and temptations. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PcM3Y8kACo4 I watched Fox News release a message this week: "There …
When You’re Overwhelmed by the News
By Tré Goins-Phillips Social media can be great; it provides a bridge to people with whom we might otherwise rarely — if ever — connect. As believers, it can also give us access to specific details, so that our prayers can be more attuned to the myriad needs that exist in the world. But if ever …
Prophesy to Plunder
By Lisa Great Since the new year 5782 has begun, the prophets have begun to speak what they hear God saying about this new year. I was listening to Hank Kunneman yesterday on Elijah Streams and he spoke about how in 2020 the prophets were all saying, 2 Chronicles 20:20 “They rose early in the …
A call to order
I am calling order in your life, in your circumstances and in your surrounding atmosphere. I am calling all that is out of alignment with My goodness, My grace, My judgments, My love and My kingship to come into proper position. You may felt that you have been in a place of disorder, confusion, chaos and …
“Verba volant, Scripta manent”
Library of the Frauenklinik in der Maistraße, Munich Yep, it's Latin... and literally translated, it means "Spoken words fly away, Written words remain". Since my platform of audience decreased some months ago as I left the social media platform, it has been a straight forward challenge since the flow of words didn't stop by leaving …
What’s your Source of Information?
You don’t know what you are missing when you don’t know what they keep from you! Although “idiots” is the word I’ve used (too) often in 2020, I still go for the word IGNORANCE as word of the year 2020.But, I n silencing of the voices, they always miscalculate the insight beyond information, the seeing …
Its a journey
In the moments of conversation and (re)connection, I can really say that our hearts are rejoicing about the beauty and significance of the way we see Him working. As I took the month of November to sit at my fireplace outside every day from 17.00 till 18.00, it was mainly to “see” Him clear (as …
So I left
Leaving the Town square Has been quite an experience, leaving the “town square” called social media, the place where we met and talked and shared. The place also where we peaked into each others life and secretly observed from a distance. It was crowded and intense to be amongst and follow the talk, the exploration …
When the time is set
“Leave the nest because you are hurting the others.” Never forget that moment as I was struggling in my resistance to what I sensed as unfair and misdirection. I hate it to observe injustice, hypocrisy, ignorance or any other misacting or misunderstanding around me. It was in the early 90ties while much was happening in …

It’s Time for the Church to Have a Voice
– Nathan Shaw Pentecost gave the Church a voice. The voice had authority. The voice penetrated to the heart of Jerusalem (Acts 5:28, 6:7). People had two options: hear the voice or resist the voice. There was no force or manipulative coercion. Each person had to make their own free will decision. Those who responded …
Fatherhood and Answers
Fatherhood does not give the answers, but it carries the question, so it can rest, develop and come to existence! If you ever wonder why there comes no (direct) answers from The Father on your questions, be sure that He carries that question (as a womb), so it can rest, develop and come to existence! …
The Masks
This remarkable observation was send to me this morning by a dear friend and intercessor: Just reading the faces! When masks reveal the hidden soul condition and the smile can no longer cover up the emptiness of the heart.It has been interesting to see people behind their masks.The eyes are truly windows of the soul.When …

The UNBALANCE and the RESET
Yesterday (Easter Day) was a scary day as “unbalance” was the word that brought me to the hospital. After waking up fresh and ready for the day to come and the happy moment with my loved ones, suddenly while watching a sermon at the Tomb Garden, the world started to rolling around like a merry-go-round! …
Panic, Paralysis or Preparation!
Whatever the reason or hidden agenda is behind the worldwide paralyzing-panicking crisis, somehow I hope you understand that our Heavenly Father is not passive in this issue! Many times, in the Old Testament when He is planning to address the Israelites because of disconnection or disobedience, the best way to get their attention was by …
