We'd be held...

Held ...

I have bin resseling with trusting God a lot lately...
Not the 'why' of sovering it self made me wonder, but 'where were You, and what does trusting You mean?'
'Why do you say in Your woord 'don't be afraid? What does that really mean?'
But God really helped me out here.
He told me this:

Who told us we'd be rescued?
What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares?
We're asking why this happens To us who have died to live?
It's unfair.

This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we'd be held.


When everything around us is unsave, ore when we live in pain, sadness ore are grieving. He will hold us in His arms...

the one you love...



Mam, ik mis je zo...





If you can't be with the ones you love, love the ones your with!!

I miss my family a lot. More than normal...
I think because I realias that I won't be home for a long time.
Because I know that it's not easy at home, thinks don't go that well. And I should be there!!!
But than, God told me to be here, in Thailand.

He most have a plan with my familie, He most know, He does care.

I'm all alone on they other side of the world. With a new familie.
And I pray for love... I need to be close to people, th
ey need to be to. And aldo I can't be with the ones I love, I could always pray for so match love for the ones I'm with. So I won't be so alone...

Home of the Open Heart - YWAM Thailand

Thailand's Department of Public Health reports that per capita, Thailand has the most HIV/AIDs cases in the world. This translates into more than 14,000 AIDs orphans per year. Many of these will be HIV positive. Chiang Rai, one of the provinces worst hit by the Aids crisis, had no home for HIV positive babies. Project L.I.F.E. stepped in to meet that need with the Home of the Open Heart.

Opened in December 2000, its heart purpose is to give HIV positive babies a loving home until their HIV status is determined. We also provide small group homes for babies who cannot be cared for by relatives.

Home of the Open Heart is also committed to caring for HIV+ babies until they die. If a baby converts to HIV negative and is able to be adopted, Home of the Open Heart will release the child to have a family of their own!

Our mission is to assist families affected by HIV/AIDs, through education, orphan care within the home and within the community, community visits leading to income-generation projects, and mother/child respite care.

My love...afscheid nemen bestaat niet!

Mijn lieve lieverdjes, voordat ik ga nog dit!;


Afscheid nemen bestaat niet ....
Ik ga wel weg maar verlaat je niet
Mijn lief, je moet me geloven Al doet het pijn
Ik wil dat je me los laat
En dat je morgen weer verder gaat
Maar als je eenzaam of bang bent
Zal ik er zijn

Ik kom als de wind die je voelt en de regen
Volg wat je doet als het licht van de maan
Zoek me in alles dan kom je me tegen
Fluister mijn naam

En ik kom eraan



Zie wat onzichtbaar is
Wat je gelooft is waar
Open je ogen maar
En dan zal ik bij je zijn
Alles wat jij moet doen
Is mij op m’n woord geloven

Afscheid nemen bestaat niet

Ik kom als de wind die je voelt en de regen
Volg wat je doet als het licht van de maan
Zoek me in alles dan kom je me tegen
Fluister mijn naam
En ik kom eraan

Kijk in de lucht
Kijk naar de zee
Waar je ook zult lopen, ja, ik loop met je mee
Iedere stap en ieder moment
Waar je dan ook bent
Wat je ook doet
Waar je ook gaat
Wanneer je me nodig hebt
Fluister gewoon mijn naam
En ik kom eraan

Afscheid nemen bestaat niet...












Soraya en Selina, love you more than anything!
