Life-changing investment

In 5 months time it will be 10 years ago when everything changed. I found myself looking for answers in all the wrong places. Partying, drinking and thinking I am having the time of my life. Involved in a relationship that I did not think was important until I realised I'm playing with someone's heart. This time around  it was not just someone who are here for temporary fun but someone who actually saw a future with me.

For someone who have been hurt multiple times this was a reality shock and I realise I was on the wrong path. I thought I could play with people's feelings because of the hurt and disappointment in relationships I had in the past and thought  I could do it with anyone and move on.

This was truly a reality check for me. The realisation of being on the wrong path drove me to searching for a place where I could go and praise God again. I have drifted slowly and surely away from the house of the Lord since I moved away from home. I have explored the world through many things I am not proud of today. 

But God has started to plant the desire to search for Jesus again in that year.  August 2016 was God ordained. It was a weekend of a Women's Conference which started on a Friday and carried over to the Sunday. That Saturday, 13 August 2016 was the day God has set aside for me to run back to the feet of Jesus Christ. 

How Jesus loves me. I thought I could run away forever, but He has marked me since the beginning of time. How greatful I am to be alive still today to tell the story. I want to shout about how precious Jesus Christ is to me. 

Giving my heart to Jesus Christ happened in the midst of plenty women praying for each other. I went to the conference not knowing anybody at all. Just familiar faces from church as I started to attend church few weeks ago. We were invited by the speaker to pray for each other. 

Cancelling and replacing spoken words over each other. I told the lady that was my partner for the session about a dream I had and I just knew this dream was about Jesus Christ inviting me to accept Him as Lord and Savior. She confirmed it and just there she led me to Jesus Christ.

 I still don't know her name today but I know I had met Jesus that day and I am still at His service today. There are much to tell but for now I leave it just here. 

Women Conferences are really transforming lives. God has appointments for His people who are hungry and thirsty for transformation. 

This past weekend I have attended a Women's Conference on the Saturday for Brunch. Lives were transformed. Women ran to the altar and God touched them and changed their lives forever. God is still changing and transforming lives. What He did for me almost 10 years ago He is still doing today. I personally were touched over and over again by God's presence. He is truly alive!!

Now step out in faith to go and get all God has set out for you. Because believe me I am!

Just be expectant and ready to receive. 

Until next time....

Jy is spesiaal!

Soms wonder jy of jy genoeg is? Of jy mooi genoeg is, slim genoeg is, ryk genoeg is of self invloedryk genoeg is. Dit kan jou dan laat wonder of jy ooit spesiaal genoeg is om te wees waar jy jouself bevind. Tog kan jy nie help dat jy gebore is in die familie wat jy het of dat jy in die dorp, stad is waar jy is. Veral as jong dogter of seun wat nie vir hulle self werk en sorg. Jy is nog afhanklik van ma en pa en soms wil jy so haastig klaar maak met skool om onder hulle sorg weg te beweeg.  Tog as jy wel wegbreek besef jy dat dit maar altyd beter en soms lekkerder by die huis was as wat jy nou op jou eie is. Hier waar jy nou self moet uit haal en wys en verantwoordelikheid moet opneem vir jou eie lewe. As jongmeisie of seun het jy weer ander uitdagings soos bv  wat jy nou eintlik uit die lewe wil hê. Jy scroll op social media en hou ander mense dop en wil dan soos hulle wees of self die goed he wat hulle het. Tog weet jy dat jy dit nie kan beskostig nie. Dan kom die vraag weer....

Dreams can come true

Do you have a dream so bad that you would do anything to achieve it?. Before you can answer this question I would like to know ," how far are you in accomplishing it"? It is fine to have a dream but it is another story to make that dream into a reality. How bad do you want it? We get to realise that it is the things in life that brings value by the small contributions we make towards others.This does not necessarily need to be money or material things but just a smile, compassion or a listening ear will mean the world to those in emotional pain. We all have a part to play in serving one another. It does not only have to be in church but it is actually outside the four walls of church where the real church should happen. You and me being the church to someone.  In doing the things we love and things that make us tick we discover our purpose on earth. We sometimes want things to hit us like thunder to discover our purpose on earth whereas it has been with you the whole time. Ev...
