“Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” Joh. 4:29

Hi! I am so glad you are here!

My name is Sandra, and I am the face behind this blog.

The idea to start this blog was because I already wrote down all my adventures and stories with God for myself. Sometimes, so many beautiful and special things happen that, if I do not write things down, I tend to forget. And I don’t want to forget what God does in my life!

So I decided to write everything down for myself. Everything I learned, everything God showed me or spoke to me, all the times I fell, and all the times I got back up over the past few years.

I live in the Netherlands, and I am the mother of two fantastic sons. I am also the “cat mother” of Ozzy and Scotty, two red cat brothers.

Furthermore, I work at a beautiful hospital which is located in the same place where I live and where my church is. In September 2023, I started a Bible study at Charis Bible College. I am extremely blessed. God is good, all the time and all the time, God is good.

And then, one day………….

Photo of the week

Last Saturday was another school day for me at Charis.

Blessed, uplifted, and tired from all the new information I had learned, I was driving home at the end of the day when I encountered a traffic jam. Bummer, but as I listened and sang along to the worship that echoed through my car at volume 40,

I thought back to everything Jesus has done in my life so far.

We are all on a journey in our lives, and just like a highway, at times things can pass us by at lightning speed.

But there also can be times when we get stuck in “traffic jams” or feel like we are only moving forward slowly. We can’t look ahead to why it’s at a “standstill”- or “slow-moving traffic”. Perhaps there is something ahead that God wants to protect us from.

We all have our own way with God. Learning to let go and trusting Him, knowing His timing is perfect, can be a challenge.

I want to encourage you, just like in a traffic jam, turn on your worship, magnify God, and keep your focus on Him.

There will come a time when the “traffic jam” is resolved, and you can continue on your way again.

From glory to glory.

(2 Cor. 3:18 KJV)

Bible verse of this week: Proverbs 4:11

"I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths"

How I get ready for a great day

I wake up at 5am every day to start my day with Jesus, or at least that is my goal every day (yes, even on the weekends). Often it works (in the power of the Lord). I love that time because my head is still empty, and my thoughts are not running in all directions like at the end of the day. The world is still asleep, and it seems as if I am alone in the world with Him. Jesus Himself also started His day that way; in prayer and in silence with the Father.

I often start in prayer, read the Bible and put on some beautiful worship. If I have any time left, I do some homework from my Bible college.

I want to encourage you to give it a try, you’ll see it will change your day!

If you can’t get up early right away, or if you, like me in the beginning, just turn off your alarm to continue snoozing, ask a friend to join you. It may take a while to get the hang of it, but persistence wins!

You got this!!
