Reflections

I can relate to Jesus who would get into a boat to get away from the crowds. Living on a sailboat gives me a LOT of time to reflect on life and to have intimate conversations with my Creator. I do my best to share those conversations, thoughts and insights with you in this corner of our blog.

When my brothers and I had angry words with each other, I can remember how my mom would always say, if you don’t have anything good to say about each other, rather keep quiet. While I read this verse, I remember those days of my childhood and I realize as an adult the significance of

Faith, believing, and trusting in God in spite of what you see… Last night we experienced that faith while sailing between Paternoster and Langebaan… Sometimes things are just too hard to stay standing. That’s when faith steps in. “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1)

When we intentionally seek out God… On this Sunday where some people find themselves intentionally seeking out the Lord, and attending church or joining an online church group…We can rejoice in knowing that God in His infinite wisdom knew us. He loved us, He rejoiced over us.. Before we were born He wove us together

Don’t miss out

Fearfully 6

I have been thinking about all the haters in the world. I realized it’s easy to miss your salvation while you are focused on the ideas and opinions of those around you. It’s hard to stand up and proclaim God because it puts you in the unpopular box. but Jesus warned us, our Father let

1 Corinthians 13:13 – And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. As I prayed over this verse I was reminded of why this verse has been so important to me all these years. This verse sums up the whole gospel of Jesus Christ to me. 1

Luke 11:13 I feel so blessed having a Father in heaven who wants to love me, wants to bless me. Despite who I am in the world, as a child of God I am washed clean. I am covered in the blood of the lamb and I am promised the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Meeting God on my knees… I have been on my knees so many times this last year, for myself, for my family, and for the families of the people we meet. As I bow before my Father, the Great I AM, I know that He is strong, when I feel weak, and in despair, my

Psalm 91:2 The verse of the day is so appropriate after the night we had. We had a strong Southerly with an average of 19 knots and gusting of 30 knots. The fishing boats behind us were getting ready to leave and our anchor started dragging fast straight towards them. By the time we got

Many times I have done something that was so stupid, that I could just kick myself… but my intentions did not come from a place of ill intent. It is in these moments that I can go to my Father with Psalm 139:23-24 and ask my Father…Search me, God, and know my heart; test me
