Expressions of Myself

Have you ever gathered in a group and discussed someone, you know the discussions when a little birdie told you this and that and somehow when the story comes to you then the story has now been made a little bigger a little juicier(not sure if that is a word). Anyway I believe and I know that we have all for the most part been either affected by Gossip or we enjoyed partaking in it no matter who the subject at that moment was, regardless the point I want to make we were all affected by it somehow. You see in the Word of God is says that we shouldn’t let any unwholesome talk depart from our lips (Ephesians4:29) yet we find it so easy to listen in on “juicy” bits/stories. I am not oblivious to this I have been entertaining Gossip and boy I even part took in it until the Holy Spirit convicted me of it. You see we have a choice to do the right thing or the wrong thing and I can tell you this much, if you were in a group where they were discussing others believe it or not, they will sure

A friend of mine sent me this email below, I found it quite helpful, I am sure you would too, enjoy the read! Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark .   One   : Don't miss the boat .   Two   : Remember that we are all in the same boat.   Three   : Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.   Four   : Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.   Five   : Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.   Six   : Build your future on high ground .  Seven   :  For safety sake, travel in pairs.   Eight   : Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.   Nine   : When you're stressed, float a while.  Ten   : Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.   Eleven : No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.

All my life I have been searching and wandering and looking for people to believe in me and somehow I did attract those people, from my immediately(mom, sister, brother, friends) and 8years ago my husband, I was always wanting them to believe in me and support whatever I was busy with at the time, whatever I was passionate about and it made a big difference for a while, it even kept me going. But to some extent their belief in me was just not enough you know, I still felt a bit empty, that's when I started taking a deep look inside of myself, I started to get to know who I really am and I start loving me, you see most of the time we are so busy looking after others well being and making sure everyone is OK that we forget about number 1 ourselves. Its when I really started pursuing my relationship with God that my life turn around and God helped me to love myself, He helped me to believe in myself and my capabilities and its been an awesome journey. I grew from a shy girl never want

Ever been someone’s no.1 fan and you literally do everything and anything to get that person’s attention, you find out what they like, what they dislike and you go out of your way to please them, you actually become a "freak", or better yet you start your own fan club of this person, sounds dumb right? But we do that, you walk their walk and you even talk their talk, you have been there have you not? I have, yeah!! Not to mention the infatuation stage, when you call them or sms them daily or bbm or whatever means you use to get to be connected to them on a daily basis, at first they are all for you loving all the attention and all about you wanting to know you and then one day , yes that one day, you know the day I am talking about , there is just utter SILENCE, no word from them to you even though you were the one who still does the sms’s, bbm messages, suddenly the oh so mutual “me being your no.1 fan” and you returning the favor, turns into an irritation, been there, you

 My husband and I have been on this mission since coming back from our fantastic holiday, we have both decided that everyday we will have a “M.O” (Modus Operandi) for when we get home, each one has specific tasks to do and whatever we say we have to do, no matter how tired we are, the aim is to stay true to what we have said. Now some might think but that is quite silly or it’s mundane etc, BUT what we have experienced is that because we have started at home with this it filters through to our work lives as well, and every other area of our lives.   “ Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror   and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in wha

First of all I just want to make it very clear that I love all my friends with all my heart, and if one of you read this and feel a bit of discomfort then I think you need to examine your heart and find out why you feel a little discomfort, I know that this Blog will help you become a better friend, I strive for that everyday. Enjoy!! Growing up moving from Namibia where life is very much family orientated , you are constantly surrounded by mothers , fathers ,aunts , uncles, sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, cousins etc. This last week my husband and myself have been really talking a lot about “friendships” and we ask the question do we have real friendships or just acquaintances? I asked this question because when I moved from Windhoek to Cape Town I had no family and I made friends and over the years the friends circle has become a little less, the reason I am writing about this word “friendship” is because there has been something bugging me, you know how it is when you feel you

Being disconnected from everyone and even the life that you know as a norm or as your daily life can be a shocker at times, it's like having an addiction of sorts and the first couple of days you get "withdrawal symptoms" that leaves you somewhat unsure of what to expect, well for me being disconnected this last 2 weeks turned out to be the best gift I could give myself and my family. We take the people in our lives for granted because we get so caught up with ourselves, pleasing ourselves and we totally forget about the people closest to you, we forget about the relationships that need nurturing for them to grow and prosper, cos just like a plant needs water to grow so does relationships need time and communication, understanding for it to grow too. God has once again blown me away, He has once again showed me that His ways are higher than my ways, His thoughts are not my thoughts and He knows what's best for me and my family, being disconnected without any outside i
