In the previous three posts I shared more about our little backyard aquaponics project. The pictures show a lot, although they are written in Dutch (I lost the English translation). In the few months since the last post I’ve learned a few more things. I’ll spread them out over a few categories: The system The [...]

Het is nu twee maanden verder en het aquaponics project loopt goed! Maar eerst even een terugblik wat er volgde op de vorige blog. In de dop (die nu de bodem van het groeibed vormt) heb ik een rond gat geboord en daarin een 40 mm pijp gehangen, die eenvoudigweg met een kort stukje 50mm [...]

This past year I haven’t written much on this website. In the meantime we have gotten married and for now we live in the Netherlands! Here are the links to the last two newsletters, who explain more about what happened. Newsletter 66 – we are staying in the Netherlands and are about to get married! [...]

At the time that I send my previous newsletter I was just coming out of another time of battling discouragement after moving to yet another city, starting at yet another new university, and seemingly still no sign of a special someone that I thought the Lord had told would come this Fall, as He told [...]

With finishing my last exams at LUISS university my year in Rome has ended. I feel blessed that I could return to Holland with excellent results.

Since we had to cancel our planned trip to Assisi due to last night’s snow, this will be a good moment to share about the last couple of weeks. I’m enjoying the view from my window while typing – this picture on the right will allow you to enjoy it with me . When I [...]

I’m enjoying the Italian sunshine and mild weather while I’m typing this blog as I’m waiting for my bus to Perugia. After a busy month I’m finally on my way to Rome, with a three-week in-between stop in Perugia to follow an Italian language- and culture course at the University for Foreigners. As of today [...]

The year 2012 hasn’t started yet, but in my mind I’m already living in the next year. God encouraged me to set a lot of time apart this week to sit with Him, pray, listen and receive vision for the next year. He helped me a little by clearing out my agenda, somehow almost all [...]
