hope you had a good weekend!

how was your weekend? mine was, well it was interesting.. i have some heavy stuff ocupying my mind, God is doing some hectic stuff. You know, when you'd rather just keep your tent poles exactly where they are, but He decides it's time for you to learn something new and move to a new level.. well, i hope I keep up and get to move on, 'cause i don't realy know if i'm comfortable in the actual moving phase.. but God is faithfull and will never give us more than we are capable of handleling.

i went out to my friend Louise and visisted her on their farm, as Shawn had a youth rally in Gyani, a rural area near us, and to go with the 3 kids, asspecialy Tamar, is just not practical. so, he took a whole bunch of kids on the back of the bakkie and off they went. and when they all came back, i was ready with Milo and a movie. It is truelly fun having all of them here in our home. I am proud of my husband, as he is so diligent in the setting the basic rules.. it is uncanny how the youth flock to him,'cause i think they feel safe.

Today was another friends birthday, Jason!! so, we all went out to his moms house for a birthday braai, but the birthday boy didn't pitch for the party.. To bad, so sad!! we still had a ball. we were all just so very, very hot, that we came home after and spend an even longer time in the pool than at the braai.. summer is so here!!

anyway, remember tomorrow is voting for Wilna again, so make sure you get around to it..

love you

An envelopes potensial..

it is amazing how a simple envelope, can send your heart racing, can make you go cold, from head to toe in an instant.. that is exactly what happend to me today.. just a routine run to the post office.. on my way to the queue my eye just caught the corner of the big brown envelope, that didn't attract me at first, but now suddenly, it had all my attention.. my heart started beating in my ears, in my throught.. suddenly i couldn't breath properly, 'cause there in my own hands, was a simple envelope, but with the most beautiful handwriting in the world. immidiatly i start looking for a

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.

Happy Birthday, Erika!!

Come on father time!!!!

I'm going crazy.. what time is it there, let's move it now!!! Who won, or came in the top 2??? who, who who!! if you are now all confused, go check out Wilna's spot again.. the suspence is enough to drive me to sugar!!! and i have not had sugar in the last 4 weeks, understand the desperation... the 28 comments on her blog, should give you an idea that i am not the only crazy person going balistic over her.. i just have the most to loose, see i'm her biggest fan, not the weird crazy stalker, peeking through her window type, but the praying till i drop, having all the faith in the world type.. You go girl, I'm so very proud of you..

can't beleive i skipped out on walking, to check out the blogs and see if maybe they told be4 12, no go....

love you all

oh, and stuff here are all good.. i love our cell, love our friends and find myself standing amazed that God has been so good to me. I might have had to give a great friend so that the rest of the world could share her (for a while), but He has blessed me with so many loving friends. He is truely God.

take care, be cool and remember, i love ya

Thursday, promise day

that is about the best way for me to look at today.. there has to be promise for a better day, not much can be worse!!

Yes, today was one of those days that really sucked.. had to much work, realised all the stuff that I would have loved to have done by now, remembered that I had hardly done any.. then to top a bad day off, I had a huge fight with Shawn.. one of those whoppers, that makes you amazed that all of that was probably already there and you didn't even know it.. did get something good out of it, I sorted out and fixed the scrapbook room. I just realised that I missed having that emotional outlet. and you know what they say, "impression without expression, leads to depression." Good one hey?

I did walk about 6km. yes, you read right, 6km. i am sort of getting rather addicted to exercise. it's a good thing i think. Wilna remember that time when you started going to gym and ended up spending so much time there, well, I'm there.. and if i can't go i get irritable. bad character, i know, but i am adamant to loose 40kg. now at 8!! Long way to go..

So, I'm gonna read a good book, finish up in the scrapbook room and go to sleep, 'cause 2morrow morning i go walking at 5:45.

Love ya, pray for me

What's up!!!

Hi all out there in cyberland..

You won't beleive it, we have NO people at our house 2night.. well, one guy, but he is fun to be with.. although, now it makes all the other people sound like not fun to be with, and that is so not what I meant..He is just baby christian, eager for everything, kinda fun..

jipee, got it done. ok, let's try the kids now.. ok, got Tamar on, will try the rest 2 morrow. I have to run again, but i'm not doing anything yet, 2morrow, so I should have time to chat.
Please keep praying for us, we need it.
Great love, me

Go check her out...
Love you wilna

Hallo!!

Yes, i know, you want some photo's, but you can't have it all.. my time is truelly not my own and at this stage, making time to blog, is all the time i can squeeze off. as i'm typing, i have a bunch of people sitting waiting for me, confident that i am working.. we are all going to watch Arch Bishop Ash, speaking about what happens between the Time God promises until it is Fullfilled.. so, we have a bunch here. and now, they are singing all kinds of wierd songs, about not making salad without tamatoes, and not having a life without friends, i agree with the second statement.
I had such a productive day, had breakfast with all our hairdressers, went to have my Limphatic System drained, visited a sick friend in a different town, and got some excersise, prayerwalking and still made good food for my family...
Yes, Chrystal, their is talk of anouther child.. It will be a boy child, and closer to the time i'll reveil his name..
Tonight Matyn has Junior Youth, so she and her friend are out and about.
We're going to Planet Shakers.. all i have to do is book, but my husband said we could go!! Jipee
Anyway, I love youz all.. so lots and lots. by the way, do you all know my friend Wilna, if you don't, go check her out..
May God's full joy, and His peace, that surpases all understanding, be with you, until we meet again..
Me

Hey, I gots tagged!!

Yeha! I forgot, Wilna tagged me, so i have to tell you 5 things you would never see on my blog otherwise, so here goes..
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..

Yeah, I know, you thought aliens beemed me up!! well, then here it is, final and provable evidance, aliens do not exsist!! Yes all, I am back!!
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
