it's a new day
hi there all and all..
i just came from Wilna's blog and it is so much fun visiting there.. she always has the coolest stuff happening there.. makes the rest of us look so boring. i just love it. see, if i feel all creative i just tell you all to go there and suddenly i look good, just for knowing her.
i've been out of action for a few days, ok, ok, maybe longer, but i've been having so much fun. my house is overflowing with love and people, and people i love the last while. it is school holidays here by us, so everybody just end up comming to our house in the faint hope that something is going on here and there usually is.. we have been playing an insane amount of Balderdash, we play Super 5 and watch movies, we visit, laugh and the weekend decided to go out to a holiday spot about 60 km from home. what started out as a little fun for our family, ended in 17 people living in primative conditions and loving it. when we came home last night we were all so tired, i can't remember much.
we all went to help Hesmari pack up her house and get ready to move out, as she's visiting her mom for a few days and then it's JJS!! Just Jesus Sessions! be expecting photos.. Don't you just love this photo of Dagan and Megan (Hesmari's little girl) i love it,just love it.
Ok, there it is, now i'll go and see you soon.

Making big mistakes
but the big mistakes, that was just something powerful that she said.. after once doing something that she thought would be a catastrophe, her mother sent her one of her fathers sermons and in it, he spoke about making big mistakes. he said, big people make big mistakes, small people seldom do, as they are not willing to take the chance. then, think of the apostle Paul.. what comes to mind, how about brave, godly, courageos, matyr.. now what about David.. God's blue-eyed boy, songwriter, worshiper.. but do you also remember that both of them were murderers, Paul persecuted the church and David had an affair with Betsheba. wow, it just moved me. just because i make mistakes, that is not who i'll be remembered for, it is the chances i take in serving God that will in the end testify about my life.
I pray that God will give me more boldness, more courage, more surity about my beliefs, more of Him, daily.
just wanted to share that with you

words you NEVER want to hear
so, here goes. my little baby, you remember her, TAMAR, she is now 10 months old and has been diagnosed with Herpes Simplex. Yes, wilna, herpes. i thought i was gonna die. i freaked out, horrible thoughts went through my mind.. and then, when he could calm me down, the doctor asked me. Do you get fever blisters, does your husband? on both these questions, my answer was yes, only to hear, that then we too have Herpes..
but my poor little baby, she has it all over. her legs, arms face, torso and a nappy rash from hell.
i feel so sorry for her, but as there is no cure for herpes, she is on antibiotics for her infection and on Kortozone for the herpes. and other than that, we keep all her stuff seperate, put aquias cream on her and pray it will go away.. so, here is where you all come in.
i need all the old wifes tales, all the mothers advise as to building up her immune system, boosting her red or white cell goodies. anything you got will work.
everyone else is fine. oh, except me. picked myself up a bad case of flu. so my asma's got me not doing much and my 'poor little me, i'm sick attitude' has me doing even less.
OH yes, we saw the best movie last night. it's called RV and stars Robin Williams and then some. it was fantastic. watched it again this morning. my kids got to watch it with us, and i always love that.
anyway, got to get working again, always love chating with you

so sad
hesmari's heart is broken, and as the Casting Crowns song says:
Your holding her hand, your trying to make sence of it all. just love them like Jesus, carry her to Him, His yoke is easy His burden is light. You don't need the answers, to all of life's questions, just know that He loves her, stay by her side. Love her like Jesus.
so, that's me now. just being there, and making sure her leagal rights are covered. making sure that the fight that is just not in her right now, i'll fight, until she's ready to do so.
my heart aches for her and her children.. pray with me.
we did see Hillsong London live on Friday, and it was amazing! God has such a magnified presence when people honestly seek and desire His presence. i loved basking in the glow of His Glory..
Also, Shawn did a hair show with about 60 models that did their SA Finals.. Maybe next year we'll get to go to the SA's. then it's 5 days consecutive doing hair all day.. we were so tired afterwards, even i thought someone had spiked our water, we were just mumbling we were so tired.
have to work again, talk soon

Issue 2
hi there,
what a day was today! it rained almost all of the day and it was cold and wonderful.. hadn't had one of those in a while.. now, i knew Wilna had said she'll send something with her friend that is comming to SA, but last time i drove myself crazy, going to the post office every day, waiting, waiting, waiting.. so this time i didn't! i was very controlled! i only checked the mail every second day. and then with the car breaking, i forgot to take the post key off, so i skipped yet anouther day there. but today, today it was there!! I GOT MY PARCEL!!!
wow, what all was in there.. well, the most amazing CD! wilna is right about Leeland, they are amazing. that guys voice is just wow. Hesmari said it well, she said that she would like to go and stand on a mountain and through her arms out and listen to him singing all day. that picture worked for me aswell. i also gots meself some candy!! it is a hoot! it is dr Atkinson candy, it's ok for me to eat! jippee! i want to keep them all as long as i can.. like till... tomorrow!! i got fabolous scrapbook stuff. so exceptional. if i do a page with that, i'll have everyone amazed, 'cause no one has seen it befor!! great plan, wilna, we'll have everyone baffled!! i got my HALL OF FAME 2006! my own autographed copy and a Nov Keepsakes! Shawn and i looked at everything Wilna had made and she deserves her spot it the top 25, actually in the top 1!!
and so i've saved the best for last. i'll give you a clue, you can read this in there:
Blog 1 for 13 Nov!
was so proud of him. i think i might have blinded him with my flashing camara, you know how those cybershots can flash! But he was brilliant and i admire his courage and desperation for God's presence!
Then it was the long way home. we went with the bakkie, remember the car's still in the shop!! and i was driving, while like 8 guys, including Shawn slept on the back of the bakkie! now you can feel sorry for me, i was just as tired as all of them.
But the weekend was a great blessing, we enjoyed it and can't wait for the next oppertunaty to take the youth out.. still trusting for that transport issue, but we know God's busy with it..
all my love, watch out for issue 2 of what happened today!!!

wow word
well, for me it is day 2 of "dust", and i don't think it will be over soon. the crux of the message is that we have to be covered in the dust of our Rabi, Jesus. the deciples, of any Rabi, would walk behind him, and get covered by the dust of their Rabi.. see, already amazing. anyway, the storie goes on and he talks about Peter getting out of the boat, to walk to Jesus. now, all my life i beleived that Peter looked around him and saw the storm, took his eyes off Jesus and couldn't imagine that even God's own son could save him now.. well, in Nooma, he says it a bit differant. he talks of how Jesus was not the one sinking, it was Peter. so, whom did Peter loose faith in?
and the answer is himself!! he did not beleive he could be all his master meant for him to be.
isn't that so true. we often beleive God for big things, but deep down inside, we feel that we could never meet up to that standard and it is not really in us to do this thing.
so, we beleive in God, but do we beleive that God beleives in us?

to the faithful few!
Hesmari, your it!
while we were walking today, we spoke about it and i realised that Hesmari is a rather exsiting woman. i just want to make sure everyone gets to know her better.
let me tell you one very interesting thing about her! Hesmari embraces discipline! she really thrives on it. just like a little human sponge! and i am very proud for the changes she has made in her own life, for what she has allowed God to do in her life and for what she has meant to me in the last 2 years! thank you 4 being there!
that means, you Hesmari have to tell us some extrodanary things about yourself!! anything, but at least 5 of them..
can't wait to see.
talk soon..

have you checked out her blog lately, on one day she had like almost 60 comments! what's up with that!! come on now, i'm sure we can also make it into the double didgets here..
just kidding, but do leave your name and a short, yet detailed message and i will get back to you as soon as i can, oops, sorry, that one's for my phone. this one is more of a like drop us a line, love to hear what you think of the site!!
anyway, in my valley all is nervous! i have to give a speech on a camp this weekend and true to form, God is leaving everything to the last min! i have done my part, my summary, my speech typed out, now all i need is insperation.. it is a Purpose Driven life camp, and i'm speaking on the forth purpose, being a servant (ministry)! i'm so nervous, it's sommer helping me loose wight, as my whole body is just rejecting any substances! i know, to much information.
I also made the final draft of our official proposal for the Youth Centre. (the small one in town, not big fancy one outside town) and even if i do say so myself, it looks good. i hinted plenty for stuff!!! and made sure everybody knows we have a serious transport problem,as none of the youth have cars available and have to get lifts to go every where! what a mission. so, we are really trusting and relying on God to come up with a small (32 seater) bus or something. we have so many ideas, but everytime we get stuck on the transport issue! you trust with us, ja!!
My husband, hot as he is, has been asked to speak at a church in Hoedspruit! how cool is that.
so he is feverantly working on a sermon! i'm so impressed. it's rather unfair though, God's already giving him plenty of ideas!!
Count down has started for Planet Shakers! jipee! once again that darn transport problem..
all the babies are healthy, i'm good and God is great, so no worries, mate!
ok, it is really late, as you can gather from my weird blabbering. gonna say good night, good morning, good day
Love ya tons

An envelopes potensial..
quiet place to open my treasure.. on not being able to find one, i just open it right there in the queue. inside, is a Creating Keepsakes with Wilna's work in, aswell as the most stunning card. I find myself (in tears by now) running my fingers over the stiching, knowing her fingers were there, smelling it to see if i could still smell her on the card. with tears streaming down my face i go the the open counter to collect my other mail items.. then i make the biggest mistake of my day, i open the card.. inside is the most inspiring letter (just as we all know wilna) and a Basic Grey neclase, or charm or thingy, it is now around my neck!! bawling my eyes out, crying like a baby i go to my car. then painstakingly i read every word of her journaling on the page that was published.. so passionate, so real, so wilna. I remember how many times i looked at her work, always loved it, but i didn't always take the time to read it.. how i wish i could have those days back and do it over. to just know every thought, every emotion, every tear... how well you get to know wilna, if you read her work.
Thank you my sweet friend, i loved it, i love it, i love you.
Youryna
Happy Birthday, Erika!!
like any other day, but today is ERIKA'S BIRTHDAY!!! Congratulations my friend, i hope it is a wonderful day and an even better year. Hope we see each other more and more. I trust God will reveil himself to you in a more amazing way than you have ever experiaced and that you will feel His love and tenderness.
all our love,

Hey, I gots tagged!!
1. I have an extremely high threshold for pain. Now i know some of you think that is a bonus, it is not, because of it i am able to pull out my toenails and live through the pain afterwards.. BAD habit.
2. I love bathstuff for gifts. I love the smell, the texture, the promise it holds of relaxation. Even if i don't get to relax every time I have a bath, the promise is still there. I am not crazy about bath salt and those litte oilball thingies. Love soaps and fizzyballs..
3. My greatest desire (up until 2 years ago, when my best friend moved to Canada, now visiting her is my greatest desire) is to go to Disney Land!! At 33 it is still a dream. to feel like a real kid again.. Love it
4. I wanted to be a opera singer. Yes, I did! Still do! Not really much i can say about that one, your either gonna understand and love it or not understand and think I'm a loon..
5. I am rather addicted to people! I love talking and helping them, i like them at all ages and in any walk of life. I would much rather talk and find out stuff about people than do just about anything else.
So, I'm full of stuff, got a few more, but your only obligated to read the first 5..
6. I am nervouse to speak in front of people. Yes, you don't beleive it, but it is true. I almost always have some or other stomach problem if i have to talk to a crowd..
7. I don't eat stew!! makes me think of the hostel and we never knew what went in there.
8. I love CSI!! Love it. and Survivor! Love that one 2.
Ok, i think i'm done, if any other weird stuff about me pop up, i'll let you know..
That was fun..
In our lives things are extremely hectic!! Yes, some things really never change.. Today was no exception, but after seeing Wilna's web again, I just remembered that I use to love it to. so, put my new address on your favourites list, I am gonna try to make it last this time!
Matyn is ravishingly beautiful! Can't beleive that she is almost a teenager, and it warms my heart to still see her playing outside in the sand with her brother, or throwing the ball in the air to see how many times she can catch it.. She is still only a little girl..
Dagan is getting so funny. last night in sel, he was trying to talk to Shawn, while Shawn was trying to talk to the cel, and he "shushed" Dagan. D then promptly sat on the floor and giggled, saying "Daddy is so funny" Trying to gain control of his ever changing household, Shawn said "it won't be funny when it's on your bumm!!" to which Dagan giggled again and said "Daddies funny, like a girl!" that of coarse got the whole sel in stiches.. You try and get serious after that again..
And you can thank my new blogsite to Tamar, who finaly got her FIRST toothy today!!! Hoerai for my little shoeky!! And she has had this whole household running up and down, as she does not get teeth as easily as the other 2 did!
I do hope child no 4 is gonna be a breeze..
Now, i'm gonna love and leave you,
but I'll be back
