In transit... an airport post.

Here I am sat using the free internet at Schipol airport in Amsterdam. I have almost finished my koffie verkeerd also known as cafe au lait or simply coffee with a lot of warm milk. Somehow airports are great places for reflecting and pondering, or maybe it’s just travelling alone that fuels the process. A situation of having time and not much to do.

Yesterday evening I ate delicious arepas from Venezuela, or rather made by my Venezuelan friend. Then I packed and cleaned and slept, a bit at least. This morning I was up at bit after 6 am to finish packing and getting ready before heading off to catch the train to the airport, and here I am.

It does feel strange to be leaving yet again... feels like Amsterdam in some way has become a little bit “normal” to me.... I got into some kind of routine, and I engaged my heart in the ministry and bonded with the people. Yet I’m not sure how Amsterdam fits into the journey and picture of my life. Still I am sitting here feeling such peace. I am on a journey and all I need to know is the next step really.

I’m excited to see family again. What a gift family is, and what a privilege to only be away a month as opposed to a year without seeing them.



My coffee is now done. My ponderings continue, but I’ll have to write them down some other time. I think I’m getting to the end of my free internet time, so I should post this.

Taking in the familiar and a heart connected.

Amsterdam. It still has that muggy feeling in Summer, and a constant flow of people which if you stop to think about it, it's quite amazing that there would even be space to accommodate them all. But then I guess they are not all staying. Just passing through on their way to or from somewhere. It's always good for the heart to visit somewhere that was once home. The familiarity of streets and customs makes it easier to embrace what might be new as well as the joy of being reacquainted with old friends. Friends. So many of them to be found in this city, ready with hugs and good words that are uttered when seeing someone who was away again. Friendship. A treasure that cannot be bought. Cobblestones trodden by many, including myself. Sitting on a bench. Praying. Remembering the first time I stumbled upon this area lined with windows with red lights and curtains. An area which has come to represent no longer windows, but people to me. Some still behind a window. Others who have ...

Getting to know the local culture.

Life is a strange thing. Last week went…not much happened, and then it was over. The weekend was quite calm without too many wild and exciting things happening. Except, of course, a wee outing to watch the National Championship for Veteran Ploughing. Now, like me, you might be sadly lacking an understanding of what this actually means. So I am delighted to be able to enlighten you in this respect. It’s basically (for the “farm-language-illiterate” like myself) a competition where you use old (hence the name “veteran”) tractors and ploughs, and plough up a stretch of field which is then evaluated and the one scoring the highest sum (accuracy, depth, how well the soil is turned is all given points) wins. I must admit that this information I got by eavesdropping on a conversation next to me where a man was explaining to some of my friends how it all works. So that was a fun adventure….although we only stayed for a bit. What is sort of occupying my mind at present is my upcoming travel abr...

Small moments that mean a lot

Walking home on the crunchy snow that lights up a December evening,  I felt so thankful. The revelation that fellowship and being together is the best gift you can give someone, and realising that although it might seem small, it can turn into something big when a person feels seen and valued.  Yesterday I helped out with a crafts workshop for a group of lovely women volunteering for Crux where I worked before (well, in all honesty: they were making angels while I ate Christmas cookies, Quality Street chocolate, and chatted). I love walking alongside people in conversation, and realise sharing life for 2 hours can last so much longer in value and experience.  This evening we had our Christmas dinner for volunteers and people who are part of my current job. It was a delightful evening with many nations gathered around the same table…. eating the same food… and for a few hours creating a small fellowship moment that will become a good memory for the future. Often in my job ...
