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

don't start stressing out, didn't do nothing bad.. just ended on my face in front of the TV as a woman i think Cindy Jacobs or so was speaking about how we loose faith in God to do what He said He'd do. and i realised that if anything doesn't happen, i do loose faith. Easily.. so, i did what any good bad girl should, i repented, cried and will now watch the condition of my heart even closer.
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

You Are 80% Peaceful

You are a very peaceful person. All is good in your world, no matter what's going on.
Occasionally you let your problems get to you, but you generally remain upbeat.
Your inner strength is inspirational - much more so than you may realize.

words you NEVER want to hear

I'm hoping that this will be the hardest blog i'll ever have to do. you see, it's already difficult to journal this event in our families life, and yet i know that God's grace and mercy is big and that He has kept myself and my family safe from all kinds of terrible things..
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

we had such a great weekend. we laughed, worked our butts off and then we came home and cried. Hesmari's husband has decided to end their marriage. he has chosen not to serve God, but to go against His word.
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
