God has a plan. For everyone.

In Colossians 3:13 we read: Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. We often talk about the unconditional love we freely received through the grace of God. It is easily said but in fact really hard…

Facebook has changed over the years. It first was unknown and a danger for everyone but some brave kids started using it and the rest followed the example. Having the first experience with the “social media”, we, the normal human beings started to see the opportunities and advantages of it. Same for the industry. Advertisements…

Which is your favorite book in the Bible? Have you ever read in the Bible? I love to read in that powerful book, meditate on statements I find interesting and then apply it to my life.

Have you ever struggled to believe that the Bible is true? What is it about this book which is over 2000 years old? Why do so many people argue about it, study it, read it or avoid it? Let’s have a look at a verse, which blew my mind as I focused on its heartbeat.

Some people say what I believe doesn’t make sense. I thought about why it makes sense to me to follow Jesus. On one hand it is His death which sets me free and on the other hand it is the life he lived.

How do you think can the first fruit change the moment of being with nothing? It can basically save your life. Picture a farmer. If he only harvested a field but forget to sow it, it would be his first and last harvest.

There are friends who make you laugh, there are friends who make you move, there are friends who make you think. One of my friends from the last category inspired me for this blog post.

I am convinced that we miss out on God’s blessing. Not that God would hold it back but we don’t collect our reward. We don’t see where we can get it and look at wrong places.

I grew up and still live on the countryside. It is really quiet and has a lot of cows and fresh air. Since I was a little girl I always knew when it would rain. The farmer’s work always was and still is an indicator for it.

Last week a friend asked me to give her an advice. She needed an opinion to help on a decision. A decision on what to do next. I gave her the following twelve points which I have learned during the past two years.

When you want to become a captain of either a huge boat or an aircraft you need to know your vehicle. You have to practice and you have to listen to your instructor. As soon as you are done with your apprenticeship you are allowed to stere it on your own. You won’t be the…

It is the look in His eyes. The way He speaks. Every time I spend time with Him I know it was worth putting him on top of my priority list. If you think that I am talking about a guy right now – no, I am not. I am talking about the groom who…

Sometimes you have to let go of a person, an idea or a dream. This week I had to let go of some fears. I always remind myself that nothing bad comes from God and fears aren’t meant to fill my head and heart. As I am a human being I can’t always resist fighting…

It’s our daily business to decide whether to get up or sleep ten more minutes, whether to eat this or that, to just mention a few. As soon as it comes to bigger decisions we act like we have never had to decide anything before. But why?

In last weeks sermon our pastor said: “The only prayer which won’t be answered is the prayer which hasn’t been prayed.” This statement challenged me. I am not sure whether to agree with it or not. It made me think about how God answers prayers – if he does. I am pretty sure that God…

“Home is where the heart is.” I actually don’t know how to start this blog post. But it was on my heart to share about how I was on a journey to finally finding my home. It all began when I came home over a year ago after having spent eight months abroad.

The Ark I remember when I told God that I wanted to build an ark. Maybe you remember my first blog post about it. The story of Noah and how he was faithful to build an ark in a desert. When everyone else was thinking he was stupid he trusted God and the voice he had…

“You lack nothing.” If someone would tell you this, what would this statement change? Could this encourage you to start something you have had in mind for a really long time? Would you enjoy your life more? Would you get up and start doing something? Would it stop your phase of waiting on what God…

As a photographer I had to learn to focus on the right point so that the main thing–or what I had chosen the main thing to be–would be in focus and sharp. If I don’t do it right or fail something else is focused or the picture is blurry. What I had the revelation about…

How many days has YOUR week? You may think “What a stupid question” but let me tell you why I asked you.

This week I started fasting. I decided that I wanted to fast music. It was even harder not to listen to music when I realized the new Hillsong Album was released. While I was driving to work (not listening to any kind of music) a song came to my mind. Not a Christian song. I…

Why do you pray? What do you expect when you pray? Is it just a monologue or a conversation? The Question How many times do we ask God for something? We ask him for everything. Should I do this, should I go there or you think of something. There is nothing wrong when you have…

“You get what you go for.” So many times we don’t even realize what we “go for”. I would claim that many christians go for “second hand revelations”, “second hand experiences” and “second hand stories”. We (I totally include myself here) forget that our God is a relational and personal God. He has a perfect…

Imagine a person who never had alcohol before. How would he look after his first sip of a beer or another alcoholic beverage? Would his facial expression change? Well, I think it would. Because he isn’t use to the taste. The more he would drink it, the less he would be surprised by its taste.…

A lifeguard guards your life. When you are in difficulties he comes to rescue you. He is there to bring you out of the water. But I’m not sure if we always need to be brought out of the water. I had a revelation this week that Jesus also is a lifeguard but he guards…

First I wanted to call this blog post the “Intention”. An intention can be either good or bad. But an inspiration behind something can be crazy, funny, good, loving and caring. Read on to understand what I mean. When I asked God what my next blog should be on last week, I got the word…
