I went out for the day and returned at dinner time, because it&#8217;s still not the time to stay overnight while Mira is at home with the kids. Wednesday afternoon I enjoyed a long walk at Rhijnauwen and Amelisweerd, in the surroundings of Utrecht. Amazing how the quiet countryside and busy city life can be back-to-back; I found a little path that I thought was very pittoresque but ended up right alongside highway A27. Anyway. The weather was really good and it was a looong time since I had a hike like this.<\/p>\n<p>The other two days I spent in my uncle&#8217;s appartment. It turned out to be a very good experience. It is an excellent place for this purpose: very bright, with not much diversion and easy to reach. I did some writing, listened to music, read the bible, prayed, went out for a sandwich, and then set myself to writing again. And although I am somewhat reluctant to say God spoke to me, I do believe I got some guidance in a couple of things.<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/2788\/169\/1600\/arnhem3.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 112px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/2788\/169\/200\/arnhem3.jpg?w=1032\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/2788\/169\/1600\/arnhem2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 112px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/2788\/169\/200\/arnhem2.jpg?w=1032\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I said, I was in retreat these last few days.
