New Books!!!

Hi there you all!! just look at my babies books!! i'm just loving them.. although, i do see myself going back to TCE eventually.. their standard is just so amazing!! and i have already found some referances that i do not aprove of!! you know me, my standard for my kids is insane.. so, i really love their Bible curriculum, but i do not like the Afrikaans and English sylabus. it is just the goverment level education, so the languages is still filled with other religions, and all kinds of strange stuff. so, we'll see what to do..
furthermore, i'm feeling sick!! Very sick!! my throught is sore, my body aches, my nose is blocked, my head feels swolen. ag, shame. arme ekke!!
so, tonight is Pirates and Pizzas at youth, should be great fun!!
talk soon..
luv ya

daily fix

there were times when i knew addictions.. all different ones. some were very dangerous to my self esteem, my body, my mind.. actually, in my case, most of them were bad.. but still i did have some addictions that i still have and that are uplifting.. like seeing people smile, happy, feeling good about themselves. seeing them achieve things they never thought was possible, and knowing that i at least played a small part in helping them be all that they can be.. wow, i sound like an infomercial.. anyway, i still love speaking hope and faith into peoples lives, now just with the added bonus of knowing what the eternal value of their souls are!!
but why do i talk about addictions today, probably because that is what God is speaking to me about!! what am i addicted to.. wow, scary stuff.. do know what is even more scary.. why am i addicted??? now there is a conversation i don't even know if I'm ready for. really scary to think there is STILL so much wrong with me!! not that i ever thought i was perfect, but i do sometimes want to think of myself as ok.. and then God comes, as the still small voice and He calls me into myself, and there is this broken, frail, scared and lonely girl... crying, begging, hoping.
no worries, it's all good, i mean it's God.. what more can i say.
matyn's new school books have arrived and they are really cool. I'll bring my camera 2morrow, and take photo's for you.. we are so excited about them. so, we're full stream ahead!!
scripture memory for the week: with matyn Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found. I like it.. something to think about though, while He can be found... maybe someday He won't be..
and memory work with my cel Joshua 1:8-9 This book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success. Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go..

Don't you be worried

i'm still around!! still living, just so very busy!!


let me run through a week.. (and notice, it does not include the being a mommy, a teacher, a shop owner,a wife and a me) Monday nights is Young Adult sel, so that means prep through the day and nights out.. tuesday i'm starting a coarse called Love, Sex and a lasting relationship at one of our hostels, for girls, Wednesday is Youth Cel, that goes with plenty of planing and plenty of time. Thursday's i'm at home!!! Shawn has music ministry and matyn has Junior Youth and then it's Friday again, Shawn has youth and i'm blissfully at home!!


so, my days are filled with planning, worship lists, schoolbooks, bank runs, post office, music shop stuff, supper, lunchboxes, long chats late at night, and oh so much more. we have a youth camp coming up in 4 weeks and beleive it or not, i'm already scared!!! yes, it's me again, worried that i'll fail, worried that it won't be planed properly.. worried, worried, worried.


i've decided to be more orginised this year.. ha ha!! only those people that know me are allowed to laugh with!! so, i'm keeping better track of what's happening at youth, trying to put the DVD's back in the shelf after watching them, doing filling more than once a month (or two).. just trying to stay more or less on top of things. and you know how that will help you, well i don't, so if you do, well done for you..

I will try not to move away and keep in contact, so keep your eye on this space, although it is not even closly as cool as wilna's space, but i'll be here.. that has to count for something!!
love you
over and out

Isaiah 12

My Strength and song
And you will say in that day,
'I thank you, God.
You were angry
but Your anger wasn't forever.
You withdrew Your anger
and moved in an comforted me.

"Yes, indeed - God is my salvation.
I trust, I won't be afraid.
God - yes God!! - is my salvation!"

Joyfully you'll pull up buckets of water
from the wells of salvation.
and as you do it, you'll say,
"Give thanks to God.
Call out His name.
Ask Him anything!
Shout to the nations, tell them what He's done,
spread the news of His great reputation!

"Sing praise-songs to God. He's done it all!
Let the whole earth know what He's done!
Raise the roof! Sing your hearts out, o Zion!
The Greatest lives among you: THE HOLY OF ISRAEL."
