What are we to make of Christ?
‘What are we to make of Christ?’ There is no question of what we can make of Him, it I entirely a question of what he intends to make of us. You must accept or reject the story.The things He says are very different from what any other teacher said. Others say, ‘This is the truth about the universe. This is the way you ought to go’, but He says, I am the Truth, and the Way, and the Life.’ He says ‘ No man can reach absolute reality, except through Me. Try to retain your own life and you will be inevitably ruined. Give yourself away and you will be saved.’ He says, ‘If you are ashamed of Me, if, when you hear this call, you turn the other way, I also look the other way when I come again as God without disguise. If anything whatever is keeping you from God and from Me, whatever it is, throw it away. If it is your eye, pull it out. If it is your hand, cut it off. If you put yourself first you will be last. Come to Me everyone who is carrying a heavy load, I will set that right. Your sins, all of them, are wiped out, I can do that. I am Re-birth, I am Life. Eat Me, drink Me, I am your Food. And finally, do not be afraid, I have overcome the whole Universe.’ That is the issue.

Back at RUC (story so far)
I was going to write an average little updat on my life, however while I was listening to my Memories playlist, several songs came by that made me realize how much had changed since I left Holland on July 26th 2005.
I would like to therefore take this opportunity to kind of share my journey that brought me here. Being raised in a Christian family with a Canadian mother who met a Canadian Dutch father in Holland, Canada was a part of me from my early years on. As a result of that I spend many of my summers in Ontario with my family that lived and still lives there. In 2000 my father past away after fighting cancer for several years. This switched my life and the life of my family around completely. Luckily God blessed me with a group of friends that really helped and supported me. In 2001 my middle brother went to Calvin college, he loved it. This was one of the things that got me thinking about leaving for a College in Canada to. However, I was only in my 2nd year if high school and there were still some years left. When my oldest brother got married I became the only one left in my house besides my mom. This change turned out to be harder than anticipated. In several years 3 of the 5 people that I had lived with all my life were not there anymore.
After 5 years of high school which is normal in Holland, I decided to go to college in Holland for one year. I really wanted to go to Redeemer, however, I was 17 and felt that waiting for another year could not hurt. However, I missed my high school environment, I was in a new place and my attitude was set on leaving the Netherlands and going to Canada. This resulted that in April 2005 I was already trying to disconnect from all my friends in Holland. I was trying to leave quite and not be a bother to anyone, I was afraid it would hurt to much. In may 2005 exactly one year to the date ago, I saw Redeemer for the first time. The day before my brother had graduated from Calvin College and on the way back to Barrie where all my family lives we stopped at Redeemer. The same Korean church weekend that was going on last year is going on again this weekend, and now I am serving them lunch.
It was also in that may of 2005, that my mom made me realized that I was trying to disconnect from my friends, she made me realize that this was not good for me and not just towards them. The last to months that I spent in Holland were truly great. I was anticipating going to Redeemer all the time, however, it did not get in the way of spending time with friends and family. I left Holland on July 26th, I came a bit early, I guess to prepare going to Redeemer.
Now Redeemer has changed my life, actually God has changed my life through Redeemer. I have written many stories already about the great times I have had at Redeemer. Nevertheless, the main difference Redeemer has made for me, it has managed to let me fully use my talents and gifts that have been given to me by God’s grace. Throughout my first year at Redeemer, there was a point around February where people (you know who you are) were a bit worried that I would have some sort of a burn out or break down. Although, I really appreciated this thought and concern, being at Redeemer has given me a new force. Most of the changes that have happened since I have left Holland have been very positive. God has given me a drive for him and his kingdom, and at the moment I know that he is providing for me, he has showed me how to open my eyes and to see his work, love, people, creation and power in a new light. And that can keep me going for a very long time.
Now don’t get me wrong, I miss Holland! I would love to be able to spend time there again and just be around friends, family (my oldest brother and his wife still live there), culture and congregation. However, I can only praise God for the blessing in my life. To God be the glory now and forever, Amen.

Fiddler on the Roof
After a few beautiful days of sunshine, warm weather, reading books at the beach, etc. Today is very rainy, and while I am writing this post, I am watching a classic; Fiddler on the Roof. It is a 3 hour movie an I am at 2 hours and 8 minutes right now. And I think I am really enjoying it. Of course the movie is about 35 years old, and you kind of have to be in to the musical type of movies, but it is a good watch.
So I have been done with my first year Redeemer for 2 weeks now. and it has been great being able to not have to worry about essays, finals and assignments. All of last week my brother and his wife were here, it was really good to see them again after 10 months. All week long we went from here to there all week long, concluding in a day in Toronto on friday. I have really fallen in love with that city over the last year. In the summer I went there with my cousin, in the fall I went there for the Toronto Missions Trip, and several times throughout the year I have made short stops there for several reasons. I think I can say for sure after all these years that I enjoy living in cities. Don't get me wrong, I love being outside and out of urban areas, however, There are some cities that have my heart, Toronto being one of them. So that friday night we also went to the Blue Jays game, which the Jays won 13-3 against the Angels. I love high scoring games!
As I briefly mentioned, the first few days of this week I have really been enjoying the beautiful weather, everydayI biked to the lake and enjoyed the sun, read some books and just walked around and enjoyed life. It is great to be a bit lazy at the moment. I don't start working until next week friday, that's when I'll be heading to Redeemer for 5 weeks to work for Food Services once again. When all that is over I'll go home to Barrie for a week and than I'll start working at Scott Missions Camp for the rest of the summer.
But, know I am going to give my full attention to the Fiddler on the Roof once more, because the movie is done in 30 minutes. I hope all of you have been enjoying your summer so far.
God bless, Willem

1 year down and summer is here
As I am sitting here on the last day of april school is all done (well first year is). As I have said throughout this school year, I have really been blessed at Redeemer, on my first day already I felt like I was in the right place. The experiences that I have gained in the last year will last me a lifetime. Besides all the large events there are also small things that have made this year amazing. I will not name specific memories, because the year as a whole was a great learning experience full of blessings. As I was reading through my fellow bloggers blog's I read a great post on Heather Zuidhof's blog. Now I am not a big fan of stealing from other blogs, but I will this time. The piece on Heather's blog (see blog roll left) had a great understanding of how different life is between university and home, how there are 2 worlds.
Here is the piece,
"A year has passed and now we stand on the brink of returning to a world where we are surrounded by the paradox of everything, and yet nothing being the same. In one week we will reluctantly give our hugs and, fighting the tears, say goodbye to people who were once just names on a sheet of paper, to return to people that we hugged and fought tears to say goodbye to before we ever left.
We will leave our best friends to return to our best friends. We will go back to the places we came from and go back to the same things we did last summer, and every summer before that. We will come into town on that same familiar road, and even though it has been months, it will seem like only yesterday.As you walk into your old bedroom, every emotion will pass through you as you reflect on the way your life has changed and the person you have become. You suddenly realize that the things that were most important to you a year ago don't seem to matter so much anymore, and the things you hold highest now, no one at home will completely understand.
The memories and the stories from school won't mean anything to anyone at home and yet you resent them for that they can't share that happiness with you. Who will you call first? What will you do your first weekend home with your friends? How long before you actually start missing people barging in without calling or knocking? Who will get pizza at three in the morning with you now? How long until you adjust to sleeping alone in a room again?
Then you start to realize how much things have changed, and you realize the hardest part of university is balancing the two completely different worlds you now live in, trying desperately to hold on to everything all the while trying to figure out what you have to leave behind. In the matter of one day's traveling time we will leave our world of living next door to our best friends, walking across campus to eat, instant messenger, 8:00am classes and the perpetual procrastination to a world that will seem foreign to us despite the fact that we lived in it for eighteen years.
But it is different now. We now know the meaning of true friendship. We know who we have kept in touch with over the past year and who we hold dearest in our hearts. We've left our high school world to deal with the real world. We've had our hearts broken, we've fallen in love, we've helped our best friends overcome depression, stress and death, and we've stayed up all night on the phone just to talk to a friend in need. There have been times when we've felt so helpless being hours away from home when we know our families needed us, and there are times we know we have made a difference.
One week from now we will leave. One week from now we take down our pictures and pack up our clothes. No more going next door to do nothing for hours on end. We will leave our friends whose random email and phone calls will bring us to laughter and tears this summer. We will take our memories and dreams and put them away for now, saving them for our return to this world. One week from now we will arrive. We will unpack our bags and have dinner with our families. We will drive over to our best friend's house and do nothing for hours on end. We will return to the same friends whose random emails and phone calls have brought us to laughter and tears over the year. We will unpack old dreams and memories that have been put away for the past year. In one week we will dig deep inside to find the strength and conviction to adjust to change and still keep each other close.
And somehow, in some way, we will find our place between these two completely different worlds."
The great thing is, we will find our place between these two worlds. Wednesday morning I found my place between these two worlds. Before 11:20AM my university world was the only world I had a place in. At night I would be done my exams and I would be done my first year, however, I had no summer plans at all. However, things change; I got a call at 11:20 that Scott Missions Camp would love to offer me a job for July and August. And it is almost certain that in may and june I will probably work for Redeemer Food Services.
However, let's not look in the future, let tomorrow's worries (joy's) be for tomorrow. Yesterday, my destination was Lester B. Pearson Airport (that's Toronto). I picked up my brother and his wife from the airport. My oldest brother and his wife live in Holland and so I did not see them since June last year. It is great to be around family (even family from Holland) and it is great to be home for a little while, even though I have never lived in this house longer than 2 weeks.
Well, I want to be social again, so I will get back to you later.
Hi from everybody (my mom, my brother (Jeroen) his wife (Jacqueline) and from me. God bless.

2 exams, 2 days
No I don't have 2 exams left in 2 days. I have 2 exams today and I am done. And tomorrow I will be leaving Redeemer (that is 2 days, if you include today). It is still a bit unreal to me at the moment, but I think I am getting ready for it. Today I have Sociology 122 and Geography 122. So, in about 12 hours I am done all my exams. This is a really horrible update, because I know I should be studying... Then look at it this way, I hereby promise an year wrap-up (update) before this month is over. In the mean well, people have exams left, good luck on them. People who are driving home, I wish you traveling mercies. God bless, Willem

Why I love (don't mind) exam week!
Well, once again they have arrived: EXAMS!!
Once you get over the annoyance of having to cramp everything in your head at once. It gets fun! Sure, it can get a little depressing sometimes, but it is a time of great relaxation and joy in between all those times. I'll give you a couple of examples.
- You are always able to find people that also need a study break, and you can catch up with them!
- People are focussed on comfort, I love it when I see people walking around on socks and bare feet and in comfortable clothes. Who really cares what a studying person looks like.
- You get a lot of stuff done, other events that need to be done (like updating your blog) gets done, sure you are procastinating, but it gets done!
- You once again learn to appreciate the wonderful world of Hi-liter's, the bright and beautifull coours blow me away (well only when I really don't feel like studying)
- When you really want some disgusting fa(s)t-food, you are perfectly justified and you don't have to explain it to anyone.
- Taking a bike ride or playing catch is a great way to get a break and enjoy the beautifull weather!
- You don't have to go to classess
- You are able to end some of the dreadful courses you had to take! (if you are taking any of those)
- You learn to appreciate the carpet in the library!
- And the Redeemer bookstore has a 15% discount on clothes!
These are some of the serious and less serious reasons of why I love exam week. And therefore I wish everybody blessings with their exams, but especially in the simple things that come with exams.
God bless, Willem

fun week(end)
While most people are busy with papers and test, I am priviliged with hardly any of that at the end of this term. I only had a test and lab on wednesday and from now until my exams I am done! So, it is time for some pre-exam fun. Last week I had the Mosaic dinner, which was a pleasent event. Now I just came back from a movie and a great night at Ashley, Kara-Dee and Jill's place. With the guys from my dorm we watched V for Vedeta, it was a really good movie, that gets thinking. Tomorrow, I have my ATeam social for the end of the year and saturday I will be going to a Hillsong United concert. Sunday is my birthday, and I'll probably celebrate it monday evening (I think). All this continues until my last day of classes next week wednesday.
I can't believe how wuick this year has passed. It seems only yesterday that this all began. There have been so many memories over the last year, it is hard to remember everything. However, there a re still a few weeks left and I plan to enjoy them!
It is a kinda sad small update, but that's all for now! - God bless, Willem
