Happy Birthday Mummy - Proverbs 31 Woman

Think I need a coffee break :)

Still busy with my project and it is 2AM but think I need to take a break cause loosing focus...I really like what I cleaned up but I still have so far to go...

Maybe should make a cuppa.

By the way I didnt update this I think but began a new job...as a support worker for exchange students. Here am I with 2 of the german girls, however the one is so South African now, dont think I can call her german... in Langa at a shack. Was quite an nice eventful day and though I stressed before about how it's going to be, was better than I expected.

Also after this big project is in going to start getting my business out there...Need to get out of debt. With the help of God of course.

Well my eyes are starting to close but have to get done

Memories ...

You see my problem....

and this is just the one hanging side...and i'm having seperation anxiety...



but even though i just wore it twice, what shoes will i wear with the pink 3/4 pants and shirt...???

At the same time, I think my cupboard, my life and my weight is bursting at the seams so I have to get rid of some of it

Updated Hair...

I like to keep u updated cause there's just one pic of when my hair was really really short and my friend said she doesnt know where those pics are so this captures the look over time. So here's the latest since last saturday...dyed my hair black again. Not the best pics, but the best with what i have to take it.Also everyone is going on and i jsut realised last dec my hair was black which wasnt too long ago. My conclusion is when I look vertrap it completely erases from people's memory how i look if my hair is blowed out, dyed etc...

Extremely tired at this point so just blogging this then off to bed ;)

another blast from the past...

googled my name and for the first time found this...

Wish I could have seen the photo as well :)

Those were the days of bubbling from being new christians, growing at such a fast rate, desiring more knowledge, yet not knowing certain worldly ways were wrong however in that particular year was too busy with building God's kingdom to really notice that much... Of seeing our youth group grow from 6 to 12, 24, over 40...and many get saved...

Thank God that he takes us from glory to glory!
Amen!

Pic taken on that day ;)

Lovesong wise

Everything, Lost, You look beautiful tonight - Michael Buble
I'll take Care of You, We Will dance - Steven Curtis Chapman

And then the love song which is my God song to me (this is Jesus saying it to me)

I Will Be Here Lyrics
(Gen. 2:24; Matt. 19:5-6)

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the sun does not appear,
I will be here.

If in the dark we lose sight of love,
Hold my hand and have no fear,
'Cause I will be here.

CHORUS
I will be here when you feel like being quiet; ***
When you need to speak your mind, I will listen. ***
And I will be here when the laughter turns to crying;
Through the winning, losing, and trying, we'll be together,
'Cause I will be here.

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear,
I will be here.

As sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetimes are made for years,
So I will be here.

CHORUS
I will be here, and you can cry on my shoulder; ***
When the mirror tells us we're older, I will hold you. ***
And I will be here to watch you grow in beauty, ***
And tell you all the things you are to me; ***
I will be here.

I will be true to the promise I have made,
To you and to the One who gave you to me.

*** LOVE ESPECIALLY THESE PARTS - God knows when to listen and when I just want to be quiet and watches me grow in beauty and tells me how much I am to him...

Observation

Someone described Brooke Fraser as talkative and I realised thats the word. I get upset when people say I talk alot, or too much, because I spend alot if not most of my time quiet and thinking about things then when I am in someones company I am talkative. thats the word. I dont mind that description but saying I talk alot, means you dont really know me because then when I'm quiet everyone is on my case about what is wrong with me, and then I feel like I cant be me too...But the word talkative is a good word to describe me, does anyone get this?

Scriptures at the mo
Isaiah 29 - 30 - Seeking God not man and how God will change me
Psalm 101 - commitment to purity
John 6? Jesus saying that he will judge and that you cant honour God with out honouring him

Indescribable...

Indescribable - Chris Tomlin

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

This has been my experience Saturday at Cape Point and Boulders Beach - Again reminded of the fact that we give gifts of paintings, art, flowers, etc. God's gift to us a creation, he gave it us to enjoy and marvel, thats how much he loves us... We are worth so much more though, yet for us he created oceans, beautiful mountains, sunsets, colourful rainbows, and structured and unstructured trees, pretty flowers...

An accident? (I think not)

Dankjewel om jullie levenswijze te delen en om te tonen dat er nog echte Christenen zijn in Nederland. Bedankt voor de plezierige momenten maar om onze gemeenschap en onze gemeente te dienen. Jullie werk in de school heeft veel vrucht gedragen en we hopen verder te kunnen werken met de kinderen die willen doorzetten.

Moge God jullie zegenen bij jullie terugkeer in Nederland met Zijn Liefde, Aanwezigheid, Plezier, Doel en Richting. Moge jullie verder grootse dingen doen, niet alleen voor God in de wereld, maar ook in jullie thuis en voor jullie zelf, in de manier dat jullie liefhebben en dienen.

Heel erg veel bedankt en hopelijk zien we mekaar nog terug.

[Lastly if anyone else is interested the group they belong to is Athletes in Action, in particular netherlands - www.aia-holland.com/ athletesinaction.nl , for the rest of the world just do a google search of Athletes in Action]
