Hold on Jason Kilian 🤍

Two days before Jason left on his Epic endurance ride, I packed one of my small Door of Hope blocks into his bag with these words on it:
“HOLD ON.”

I had already packed his bag —
filled with everything he would need for the ride.
Pain plasters, electrolytes, energy bars, biltong etc. …
I closed it. Wrapped it. Done.

And then half an hour later something made me open it again…
just to add one small block that said:
HOLD ON.
I didn’t understand it then. Because the words should have said, hold out, instead of hold on.
I do now.

Jason is currently fighting hard.
His body is tired, but his spirit is strong.
Right now, he is doing exactly this —
Holding on.

Can we please lift him up in prayer, together?

Pray with me.

Father God,
You are the God of miracles.
The Father who sees beyond what we see - the Creator who knows the full picture.
The One who holds Jason's life in Your hands, carefully.

Today we lift Jason up to You, Lord.
Breathe healing into his lungs.
Clear every infection.
Strengthen his body.
Calm his heart.
Restore every cell, every system, every function.
Touch his brain with Your healing hand —
bring clarity, restoration, and full recovery in Your perfect timing.
Surround him with peace, even in his rest.

Let him feel that he is not alone. (This part is really important, Jesus)
That he is held.
That he is loved.
That You are near.

Give strength to his family.
Wrap them in Your comfort.
Also to his close friends. Everyone that loves him.
Carry them when they are tired.

And remind all of us —
with You, nothing is impossible!
We choose faith over fear.
We choose hope over doubt.
Jason… your name means "Healer".
Your work on earth is not finished yet.
HOLD ON.

We are praying for you.
You are not alone ♥️
Amen. 🤍

Life is unpredictable - a dance, a melody, a song - with high notes vibrating through your soul at times and joy in copious amounts. Then all of a sudden you find yourself in a dark dungeon, hopeless - low notes reverbating through your veins, pulling you down.
But within it all He is there. Holding you in the palm of His hand because He is your Father.
If you are going through a difficult season, be still. Trust the process. Your character is built in times like these. It hurts, I know.
But the light will shine again.

Thank you Iwan for sending me this masterpiece. It fills my heart with joy and sorrow at the same time.

A beautiful orchestra of life as we experience it ❤️

A Prayer for the Sacred Shift

Jesus

Thank You for this holy space, where hearts can open without fear and souls can speak their truth. Thank You for the stillness in the storm, for the flicker of light in the darkest rooms, and for how You meet us—so personally, so tenderly—when we least expect it.

Thank You for the shift that is happening inside her heart. For the longing, the tears, the deep sense that You are near. Thank You for the words that are beginning to rise like new life from the soil of her story. Water them, Lord. Let them bloom.
Bless her dreams to write, to speak, to love, to help others—because those dreams were planted by You. Remind her that nothing in her life has been wasted. Not one broken piece. Not one lonely moment. You are weaving it all into something more beautiful than she can imagine.

Wrap her in Your peace tonight. Let her feel Your presence as surely as the wind on her skin. Whisper to her soul that You are proud of her—that You’ve been with her every step of the way.

She is seen. She is chosen. She is loved.

In Your name, Jesus,
Amen.

Everyone loves a good testimony ☺️
So here goes!
A few weeks ago I noticed a FB ad about Lauren Daigle's concert at Sunbet Arena, right under my nose in Pretoria! I've been following her for years, even before she was famous. I went online and looked at the ticket prices. I couldn't afford it. I forgot about it.

This morning, a friend and client of mine reminded me about a meeting we had, for tomorrow. She wanted to extend the meeting until a few hours later, because she was going to Lauren's concert. I was reminded of the concert. I thought to myself, oh! How I wish I could go. I really need this. And instantly I prayed and asked the Father if He could organize me a ticket. Not expecting anything. Just a desire, a fleeting moment.

Ten minutes later, I kid you not, my dear friend messaged me. Would you like to go to Lauren Daigle's concert? I have a friend who have tickets.

In an instant, my prayer was answered, out of the blue. Not only one seat, but two. I will be able to take my daughter with me, who is also a singer, with dreams, and hope and an angelic voice.

Taste & see that the Lord is good ❤️
His mercy endures forever.

My Oupa het altyd gesê:
"Die lewe is nie 'n piekniek nie, my doggie."

Ek was nog kind, ek was nog klein, ek het nie verstaan wat hy bedoel nie.

Maar nou is ek 48. Ek kan nie onthou wanneer laas ek piekniek gehou het nie.
Ek d**k aan die groen weivelde van Psalm 23, sien hoe ek daar sit. My seun sit onder 'n boom en speel kitaar. My dogter sing. My piekniekmandjie is volgepak - vars uitgedrukte lemoensap, mooi servetjies, vars gebakte croissants. Plaasbotter, nastergal konfyt. Olywe, druiwe, gerookte salm, roomkaas...wat mis ek?

Daar is vrede, ek is in die nabyheid van die Here. Niks kan my ontbreek nie. Ek sien 'n hasie spring oor die klippe, hy ontmoet sy maat met een groot sprong. Ek kyk op na die wolke, ek sien prentjies van olifante en muise en 'n engel, as ek gelukkig is. 'n Vlinder kom sit op my voet. Op die horison staan my Herder. Niks sal my ontbreek nie.

Ek sal nie bang wees nie, want die Here is met my.
