lekker lag

for all the English folk that read this blog, the title means 'having a good old laugh'
last night was youth.. and since God has not yet given me my amazing Iveco comby (small bus more to the point) i go fetch the kids in my big little bakkie trucky thingy
so last night for the first time ever, i had a truck load of girls on the back!!
and you know a bunch of teenage girls.. the screaming around every corner, the concern about their hair.. and then.. the rain!! Yes, these poor girls, they were on the back of an open bakkie, driving at full speed through the rain! and i felt so bad for them. i started screaming about as loudly as they were screaming. My friend Ane, who went with me to pick them up was laughing more at me than at the load of screaming girls! and I'm incoherent, thinking, maybe i should stop (in the middle of the rain) not knowing what i want to stop for, but just stop!! and the more I'm screaming and putting on breaks and then speeding up again, the more my friend is trying to to get me to switch on the windshield wipers!!! can you believe, i 4got to switch them on! i was so worried and screaming and calling Shawn to tell him that we are caught in this terrible weather, that i completely forgot to switch on the wipers.. it was so funny!! and the girls, well, they just loved it! they were laughing and screaming and making jokes and it was awesome! God truely is good!
after cel i tried to organise lifts in cars for them, but they all insisted on driving on the back of the bakkie!!
we laughed so much that our stomachs hurt, our mouthes couldn't close and our hearts were as light as a feather.
and on top of it all we had an amazing cel last night.. i had the pleasure of leading a girl to the Lord and assure her that her life in now in the hand of the One who made Everything..
