Winter survival!

Today it’s like 20 degrees celcius warmer then three days ago. We went from minus 10°C to plus 10°C. It’s one of the few big temperature rises I love, because now spring is coming.

On my own!

Last week I’ve met a new lady who got to live in the nursing home the week before. Lets name her Mary.

I had received an email from one of the nurses ‘We have a new lady living with us and at home she used tape to show her the way to the bathroom. The doctor asks if you can find a way we could use it here too at night.

Living in purpose

I like my job, I really do. I still think that becoming an OT was a good thing for me. But a few weeks ago I had to draw the conclusion that even though I like helping people as an occupational therapist, I still have the feeling that I’m walking in my purpose for God when I’m travelling abroad 

Addicted to silence

Actually, I’ve wanted to write this blog a million times already. And now I am writing it on a day that isn’t as glorious and awesome as the last few months. Today, I have no concentration at all, before I really started typing I already interrupted myself four times, because I had to make some Mocha Latte (amazing and healthy recipe!), flip over the LP and find some new batteries for my keyboard. This morning in church I couldn’t focus, while the sermon was very interesting (at least the bits and pieces I did hear), and yes I was talking way too fast last night so my parents couldn’t understand me at all…
And that all because these last few days I don’t notice the effects of my meds like I’ve gotten used to over these last few months.

Failing encouragement

Nowadays a lot of people tell me to hang in there, God is with me and that I have to listen carefully to my body. I am very blessed to have all those people around me who are supporting me in this difficult time.
And still, some of the things said are a failed attempt of encouragement.

Christ be all around me

Zaterdag speelde Leeland dit nummer op het Beam-festival en vanmorgen draaide ik hem tijdens mijn stille tijd. Het is zo’n krachtig gebed!
