About my first book

''Something to remember'' was born during a period of deep grief. In May 2022 my best friend and spiritual father, Sjoerd Sjoerds, passed on to be with the Lord. In my brokenness Christ began to revive a talent I thought I had lost. For weeks my eyes were filled with tears and my soul with anguish because Sjoerd, the most important human being in my entire life, was gone. Yet the Lord was able to create something beautiful out of a mess. He enabled me to write a book about the One and Only true Lover of my soul. 

Many people run away from God. They are afraid to face Him, are angry with Him or have many other reasons not to desire any interaction. One of the explanations for this is very simple - they just do not know who God really is. Nobody told them. We, as believers in Christ, are responsible for this. I feel inadequate and in the same time honored to be in a position to try to describe my Savior, Jesus Christ. I do have to admit that a lifetime and thousands of words are not enough to elaborate on who He is. This little book is just a glimpse of it . The difficult, dark and hopeless moments in my life always set the stage for my God to reveal Himself to me in ways I could never imagine. This is a book about the One Who never leaves, never condemns, at all times loves, forgives and gives. When the world has forgotten you and nobody cares, He does.
