Thought for the Day

Verse: Psalm 27:14

Be of good courage, and He (The Lord) will strengthen your heart!

- Trust in the Lord.
- Have faith, do not despair.
- Be brave and courageous.
- And HE will strengthen your heart.

PRAYER: Lord, as I embrace this new day, help me to be strong and to take
heart. Thank You that You will come alongside me and strengthen my heart.
Amen.

Fears and hang-up's

I've been meaning to blog about this for a while.

We all have them! We all wish we could find a way to avoid them! In general
we just don't want them...

But - Reality Check? Here we are! And it is with us...

I need a whole week to tell you about mine. Since I have the time now I can
just as well scribble down a few, so here goes.

Fears 101:
- Losing my family
- Losing my two dearest friends
- Unhappiness
- The 'Unknown'
- Change
- To not be loved
- To be alone
- Moths!
- Dentist
- etc etc etc

Hang-Up's 101 (or rather 1001)
- Not knowing how people feel
- To be kept in the dark
- Not to know how to fix someone
- Not to know how to fix some things
- Sniffing
- A Mess (of things or feelings)
- etc etc etc

Well these lists can go on for a very long time, but I would like not to
bore the people reading this, right?

Yes - Right!

I want to tell my dearest friends that without the fears and the hang-up's
we will be perfect, right? And how boring will life be if we were?

BUT we need to sometimes just close our eyes and take that step. Face that
moth! Go to the dentist, to fix that hole!

Believe me when I tell you this, because I must do it to.

God is good!
God bless you!

He will ensure that everything will work out just fine!

Amen....

True words...

The aim of an argument or discussion should not be victory, but progress.

So tired...

I'm really tired.

My far-away friend told me to do the positive thinking thing, and I'm going
to try that, as soon as I sleep for six hours!

The thing is, I have all these things running through my mind at the same
time. Not that, that is a bad thing!

Better!

We did some unintentional bookshop-location hunting today! I think I found
it! A good location, no coffeeshops and no bookshops in the area, busy
shopping center!

It was the first people we spoke to that was really helpful, as well!

Please Lord that this be it?

Some other 'better' stuff:
- it is pouring down with rain so it helps with the humidity!
- I bought two new books!
- my friend went proper food shopping today!
- and again (sorry have to say it) I think I found the Ash's location
today!

Some 'un-better' stuff:
- My friends still did not talk to each other!


PS: I know un-better is not a word!

Holiday...

So, the last morning of our holiday. It would have been nice to stay a few
more days! It was hot, fun and relaxing. We did what we planned to do -
nothing!

At least we don't have to drive for hours today...

The letting agent phoned to put a damper on my excitement. Jip, they don't
want Ash's in their shopping centre, so I really don't know what to do! Do
I look for another location? Where do I look for another location? So many
thoughts running through my mind, it's confusing.

I will not give up today - I made that decision!

I'm not the giving up type of person, I will follow my dream...or will I? I
don't know yet!

Its been days since I heard from my far-away-friend. I truly hope he is ok?
I won't pressure him in any way, because I think he needs time... My
prayers are with you D!
I miss you...

I'm off to pack the last things, shower and then hit the way home.

Maybe I will go look for a new location for Ash's?

Ek hoop...

So, hy was nie reg om die stap te vat en te kom kuier nie. Maak dit my
bekommerd? Ja, dit doen nogal.

Ek dink dis seker maar net hoe ek aanmekaar gesit is. Ek gee om, ek doen.
Ek dink ook dat hy met die hulp van ons Hemelse Vader, deur al hierdie
dinge sal kan werk.

Ek hou nie daarvan dat hy dit nodig gesien het om vir ons te jok nie, maar
omdat ek so baie omgee, verstaan ek.

Die gebed in my hart vanoggend is dat hy ok sal wees, dat hy sal kans sien
om hierdie stap in sy lewe te neem om weer in SA te kom kuier. Dat die
spoke en die hartseer en kwaad is sy lewe iets van die verlede kan wees.
Dat hy kan gelukkig wees en weer kan kans sien om werklik te kan lewe, en
die mense om hom, kans te gee om te wys dat hul vergewe en vergeet.

Ek hoop en vertrou met al my hart, ek doen.

Sjoe, ek is a redelike pissie vanoggend en ek wil so graag beter voel, ek
wil! Ek is op vakansie, flip!

Here asseblief verhoor my gebede?
Amen
