Prachtige quote juli 4, 2008
“When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.”
Quote van Alexander Graham Bell.
Schitterend he! 
Mooie wijsheid mei 7, 2008
We are the captains of our soul.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people
won’t feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the
glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone.
And as we let our light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
Blessings april 25, 2008
You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and His rule.
You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.
You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are - no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.
You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He’s food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat.
You’re blessed when you care. At the moment of being ‘care-full’, you find yourselves cared for.
You’re blessed when you get your inside world - your mind and heart- put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.
You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.
You’re blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God’s kingdom.
Not only that - count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit Me.
What is means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. You can be glad when that happens - give a cheer even!- for though they don’t like it, I do! And all heaven applauds.
And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble.
Matthew 5, from the Message.
