May Hope.

Romans 15:13 Amplified Bible (AMP) "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises." Hope: A feeling of expectation, and a desire for a particular thing to …

Staan op!

Jy bepaal jou eie geluk. Dit was my groot boodskap die afgelope jaar. An attitude of gratitude brings a lifetime of happiness. So klink my lewensleuse.  Wat het jy hierdie jaar gedoen om jouself te verbeter of om jou drome in te haal? Wat het jy hierdie jaar gedoen om deel te wees van die …

Find rest in Him.

It's been a rough day or two. I haven't been in the best mood and I am so tired I'm struggling to function properly during the day. The Word says in Matthew 11:28 Come to me all who labour and are heavy burdened and I will give you rest. When we are tired and overworked …

Mind games.

I think the hardest part of living abroad and away from family and friends is the mind games your mind plays on you. Today my heart is just aching with every breath. The whole day my mind has been wandering around all the places I’ve been growing up and our holiday time share we had …

This year will be better.

This year is already better than last year. I did not decide before hand on a list of “new year resolutions”, because they generally only last the first week of the year and I didn’t want to post a list and then fail. I hate failing. It’s because I set such high standards for myself …

100 years from now.

Well hello again… It seems as if life is getting back to normal with the kids back in school and we are getting back into the swing of things. Personally I prefer Winter for a couple of reasons: 1- No flies or Mozzies 2- Everything slows down. 4- It’s cold and I’m not sweating. 5- …

Would you?

Question 6 of 200. Again another tricky question. You discover your wonderful one-year old child is, because of a mixup at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to try to correct the mistake? This makes me think of king Solomon and the two mothers. 1 Kings 3:16-28New International Version A …

A cure.

Question 5 of 200. In all honesty, I don’t know how to answer this one… Do I say yes to this people will be upset with me. If I say no to this, people will be upset with me. 😂 This could have been a conundrum, but I am not in the people pleasing business …

One year of happiness.

Question 4 of 200. If you could spend one year in perfect happiness, but afterward would remember nothing of the experience, would you do so? If not, why not? If I had the opportunity to spend one year in perfect happiness and afterward not remember it, I would still do it. Psalm 16 A miktam a of David. …

No regrets!

Question 3 of 200. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet? I believe in always and constantly telling my friends and family that I love them. It never gets old for me and …

Do you believe in ghosts?

Day 2 of my 200 questions challenge. 😉 Do you believe in ghosts or evil spirits? Would you be willing to spend a night alone in a remote house that is supposedly haunted? I giggle at this question, because I have, since I was a little girl, had experiences where demons tried to scare me. …

The book of questions.

We love going to thrift stores. Almost everything in our home has either been thrifted or gifted. In South Africa I always loved to go to the local thrift store. Thrift stores are filled with vintage treasures, brand new clothes and books. I love books. Books teach us. Books take us to a different world. …

Overcoming fears

What fears have you overcome and how? As a child I was afraid of many things, but I do think the thing I was most afraid of was people. People tend to change in the blink of an eye. It’s either that or I am poor at judging people’s characters. My hubster will probably agree …
