Background
Information
Married, mom of three wonderful kids, and ful of freaky ideas, I'm highly influenced by all of them, and interested in all kinds of information, as long as it is for a short timespan. A Reformed Christian background formed my spirit, the Evangelical movement did it grow, and new things make it almost florish.
So, motivated by God, my life, and the rest of the world, I finally started at age 33 to rediscover some creative gifts, like audio and visual arts, that appearantly laid sleeping for a lot of decades.
Next to that I love to unreavel things, explore, do research, and the best part: tell everybody about it, because I think everyone should have known this a long time ago! Not because I think I'm that interesting, but because what I found, can maybe help others, or be a blessing to them.
Also my art is a way to express things I learned, that can touch others' hearts or spirits.
My study theology turns whatever I had since primary school that made kids run to me for comfort and protection, slowly into a professional pastor, with a heart to motivate and confirm people.
