Life as it is…

This is my last year of college. I’m studying journalism at the best (and one of the few) Christian colleges in the Netherlands (http://www.che.nl/)
I love to study journalism and right now I am working for a production company called Bijker productions. I’m not sure if this is really my thing. It’s hard to be a Christian journalist. because people judge you very quick and say that you aren’t objective. .And that’s so not true. Of course I’m a Christian and I try to be objective all the time. But can a Christian be a journalist esp. in Holland with abortion and gay marriage and drugs? I don’t know. It’s hard and that’s why I’m kind of searching for the path that God wants me to go on.
I’ve been to soul survivor this summer in the UK and it was awesome. I did the Passion for Your name week (a week for everyone who is in touch with worship music) One thing that came back the whole week was that we are the salt of the earth: "You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavour, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men” Matthew 5:13
And that we don’t have to become missionaries or worship leaders to do God’s work. God needs Christians in almost every profession: teachers, nurses, journalists and so on…
But I just don’t see God’s goodness in the work I do, or at least for now. I’m trying to find my path in it, together with God.
I’m going to a mini festival weekend of soul survivor in November in Holland. I’m really excited to go and hopefully I will find more and more puzzle pieces to complete my path…

Thanks for reading! Love, Jacoline


A Life Poem
Life can seem ungrateful and not always kind. Life can pull at your heartstrings and play with your mind... Life can be blissful and happy and free... Life can put beauty in the things that you see... Life can place challenges right at your feet... Life can make good of the hardships we meet... Life can overwhelm you and make your head spin... Life can reward those determined to win... Life can be hurtful and not always fair... Life can surround you with people who care... Life clearly does offer its Up and its Downs... Life's days can bring you both smiles and frowns... Life teaches us to take the good with the bad... Life is a mixture of happy and sad...
So...
Take the Life that you have and give it your best... Think positive, be happy let God do the rest... Take the challenges that life has laid at your feet... Take pride and be thankful for each one you meet... To yourself give forgiveness if you stumble and fall... Take each day that is dealt you and give it your all... Take the love that you're given and return it with care... Have faith that when needed it will always be there... Take time to find the beauty in the things that you see... Take life's simple pleasures let them set your heart free... The idea here is simply to even the score... As you are met and faced with Life's Tug of War
