He works all things out...

And just like that my life has changed, from dreaming of becoming a Teacher and having my own class things changed just like that. I survived my first full week at school. Days of preparation and laying of foundation. As I sit and type these notes, my heart is so full. I am filled with immense gratitude to God for paving the way for me. I work with the most amazing colleagues who have the love of education rooted deep within them.

The lesson I learned this week is that preparation is key, if I want my day to flow the next day, I need to prepare the day before so that I can get everything done.

When one has had so many trials along the path of life it's hard to believe that relief is here and that it's just teething process we have to get through now.

God does give you the desires of your heart when you trust Him to do so. When we submit our plans to Him, He works out a perfect plan for us. He promises in His word that He will work all things out for our good (Romans 8:28).

WOW! Lord who am I that you are mindful of me. Don't give up, don't give in, strive to make your dreams a reality, it's hard work and lots of sacrifices however God will be with you all the way, He really doesn't leave you nor forsake you... (Hebrews 13:5).

I keep saying this aloud to make it a reality for me: I am a Teacher now!!! Ms Louw is activated!! What a feeling!!!

What do you want to become? What do you want to study to better your life? Do it now don't wait, cease the moment!!

It's OKAY not be OKAY...

TODAY is one of those days I don't allow myself to have many of... A day where I am extremely emotional and teary and life seems to have gotten the better of me just for today. I don't tend to dwell on my negatives I am known to be the optimistic one and always positive however today I am far from that. I allow myself to be in this space because in this moments of being emotional and allowing myself to cry because they say tears are healing waters. I am very much aware of my surroundings and giving myself this space to just process every disappointment and whatever else I am dealing with. A close friend and mentor of mine told me a few months ago that I should learn to unpack things as they happen and not bottle it all up and then I explode when things just get too much. As a mother, wife and whatever else I am to whoever it all just got too much. Have you ever gotten to a point where you question "Why?" "Why do I even bother talking non stop with my k...

No one is always busy...

Such truth in this picture. I saw this picture message on a page I follow on Facebook and it made me think and reflect and I shared it on my page but I didn't elaborate at the time because I was still filled with negative emotions. Then this morning a friend of mine shared it on her page and these are my thoughts about this and I am referring to friendships/relationships with family and just relationships in general. So please allow me to express myself.. What is most difficult to comprehend is that we allow people to have so much space in our lives and they give so little of their time to us...It hurts immensely when you know how committed you are to certain friendships/relationships and you get absolutely the bare minimum and that fact is what is making me walk away from many. Zainonesha had this to say about it " So true...then one has to settle with lame excuses as if our lives are depending on it. Be Honest I would say" Yes I understand that we are all in dif...

Being a MOM

While I pride myself in being a Mom, a nurturer and everything that goes with it, I have been feeling much like a failure of late. My girls (especially the middle one and the eldest one) have been struggling in their schoolwork not the understanding of the work but the self discipline that goes with making progress at school. A week ago I sat on one of the benches at the station and just managing to at that time (7am ) of the morning to write notes to teachers in message books as I had kept the girls at home the previous Friday because I forgot to do it the night before. As I went from one message book t o the next I opened the last one that was my middle daughter’s and here two warnings and a nice message from her teacher stared at me. As I proceeded to read the note I was filled with anger and much disappointment... I completely became one of those ladies that just let it “rip” on the train station and yes the “nasty” mom came out you know the one where you switch to Afrik...
