Faith In Action

Maybe you do not like where you are now. Maybe you are praying for a better oppertunity to come your way. So in the midst of still waiting you find yourself becoming miserable and trying to do things in your strenght and become so negative that you cant see anything good in anything or anyone.  What if you are being placed there for such a time as this. Where others see no future you can be the light carrier of a bright future. You have the ability to change things around with the right attitude. With a positive attitude of showcasing the character of Christ within in.  What if this place is just the way God's gory will see itself being manifested. How is it that we tend to always want the attention on us and not seeing God in the midst of our storm or challenges. What if God is using this difficult situation to build your character. See the difficulties as an oppertunity of God being glorified through you. Become the vessel God want to let His glory to be revealed. It about H...

Our identities is probably one of the biggest things holding us back.  I thought I knew who I were until I lived a little longer.  I am no longer willing to be silent to make people comfortable.  I am no longer willing to act like I don't know who I am so other people don't feel intimidated.  I am no longer willing to be the quiet one in the room so that I don't get picked out in any  way  Everything I learn about myself I had to start write it in pencil because it is subject to change  As you grow your identity has to evolve to hold everything that you are. If you written certain things in permanent marker you will never become more.  I used to say I'm an introvert and it wasn't that I am an introvert.  I learned how to edit myself because when I  spoke people listen. What if you aren't really the quiet one,  you just do that so other people don't feel uncomfortable.  What if you walking into a new experience of yourself means...

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 throug...

The other day at work I was asked  "How are you doing"? I said I'm doing good. The person asked me if I am sure that I really am. The question than changed to how are you spiritually doing"?  I said goooood.. With a surprising face.  So I ask why is she asking. She said to me that "Your light is not shining as usual"! Since last week I observed it. This really hit me! After our gathering of roll call as we call it in my working environment I went to look for her. To tell her she should pray for me as she saw it without me realizing it. Long story short I did not find her as she was occupied in a meeting.  I however walked  into the office of a man of God and I told him about what happen as she is a friend of his. This is someone I usually also talk about the things of Christ.  He said so powerfully how we are the reflection of Jesus through our way of doing life everyday as children of God. We do not always have to say too much words of encouragement but ou...

The first of many post still. I  am greatful that I have made it into the new year. Thank you Father God. I am so expectant to walk in all God has called me to be. I am also unapologetically going after everything that has my name on it. The Bible says the violent take it by Faith. I am siting here and already grabbing it with both my hands. Nothing can stop me now!! Lord God you are so faithful. You are Lord over everything. You are beautiful Father. Thank you for just everything. I owe you everything and therefore I do not want to loose or even break communication with you OH Lord. I am so angry today and I am just venting tonight by Your feet. Many things are not always as it seems and I have come to learn the hard way dear Lord. Guide me in all my ways. May I see You in all I do and as I begin tomorrow with work may I find you in it Lord. I am invite to walk with me. I need you Lord. 

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....

Liewe Sandy Ek sien jou swaar trek aan die laste wat nie eers joune is nie. Jy wat nie eens jou kop soms by die huis wou uitsteek omdat jy so skaam is vir goed wat jy nie eens gedoen het nie. Soms voel dit jy wil jou kop in n gat steek as die polisie van weereens n draai kom maak na goed wat jy nie eens create het nie.  Tog voel jy skaam as of jy iets gedoen het. Jy is maar daar omdat jy daar beland het vir n doel. Jy kon dit nie in  daardie oomblikke gesien het nie. Maar dus aande op aande wanneer musiek reg deur die nag doef doef wat jou uit hou vermoe kom leer het.  Jy wou al so baie kere net oppak en weghardloop maar omdat jy n doel gehad het om skool klaar te maak, het jy maar deurgedruk. Ooh maar jy is n brawe meisie Sandy. Ek het nie geweet jy kan so baie dra nie. Jy het tog iemand gesoek met wie jy kon praat maar daar was niemand beskikbaar gewees nie .  Ons Hemelse Vader het ook geweet jy sal dit maak al was daar nie iemand met wie jy kon praat maar tog weet...

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...

How do one truly know if the connection is healthy for you or it is  time to cut such connections? You now hold onto such connections out of obligation and because of peace. You tell yourself you will rather let it continue.  You don't want to hurt feelings but how can you keep on trying to make a connection, relationship, friendship work if it's just when it suits them or rather beneficial for the other person. It is almost as if the other party is afraid that you will outshine him or her. There is the gut feeling that you have received for a long time and you keep on pushing it under the rug. Connection is to relate, combine, join or unite. Covenant is a promise, contract, bond or a pact. It's fine to be connected but if it does not come with a bigger picture in mind to almost lay down your life for the other person than its not worth holding onto.  It's than better to cut such connections. All the signs are there. Don't feel bad. Sometimes it's just that the ...

There are times that feel that you are just out of your depth and maybe not valued. That you are not seen. But those thoughts are not the Truth because the Truth has set you free.  Whenever you feel like you are loosing and don't know how to move from out of the depth of your circumstance,its the moment you look back on your life to trace the goodness and faithfulness of God. Then you start to praise and worship and see the salvation of the Lord!!!   My brother my sister, this God of mine is Almighty, He is strong, all powerful and mighty. Nothing that my God can't do.. He has made a promise, faith have to believe it, courage have to take hold of it and patience has to wait for  the promise  to come into fruition. Do not back down now!! Rise up and fight in prayer, fight in the Spirit and speak and declare  the word of God. Do not give the evil one hold of the lies he is pla...

Why am I counting down my days towards forty? It is written in the Bible that we ought to ask God to help us count our days or rather number our days so we may live it pleasing to God. That we may grow in Godly wisdom and pleasing unto God. Psalm 90:12 We as human beings can easily become choked up in worldly wisdom. Having all the plans of how to become well known or influential. We live in a day and age where we see any oppertunity to become the most influential. But at the cost of what? Loosing our identity, values and integrity in the process. I have become rather conscious now of what I say, when I say it and too who I say it. It's also so needed to know who to share it with because sometimes people say they are happy for you but just to find out they were actually silently competing with you and just using and stringing you along having their own agendas and motives.  Such occurrences makes you just reflect more on life and treasure even more people that are genuine and uprig...

I have literally counted down the days towards my 40th birthday and I am just so unsettled Lord. I do not know why I'm having such a feeling of great expectations in my stomach. I feel that I am about to have the greatest life ever!! The one that is driven by purpose, enthusiasm, motivated and full of courage. We had the desired outcome of moving to the Western Cape and we are so greatful to you God. Truly am. I however know You Lord are about to blow my mind. Blow my husband's mind. I am inviting you Lord into the next 71 days as I am opening myself up to hear from You Lord as I am leaning into Your word for  wisdom, direction, strategic movements and to heal in all areas of my life so I can walk more boldly. Unmask the areas where I need healing still that I am not aware of. Use me as a authentic vessel and teach me how to preach, teach, motivate, mentor and coach. I pray that I can help other people, men and women to see themselves the way God sees them.  Whatever Lord you ...

Those new to this blog, I am a woman that loves personal development. I commit easily to programs, events that will be beneficial for my personal life, family and career. One of such an event was the 1 Life insurance life changing lessons in collaboration with Wisdom and Wellness in Capetown on the 21 March 2025.   The founder of Wisdom and Wellness is a woman that I greatly admire since 2018. I have been following her brand and I really can draw so much from her and her husband's wisdom to life matters.  To be able to be in the room during their very first live podcast was a such a honor and privilege. To share  photos with them shoulder to shoulder was a moment of awe. I visualise this moment since forever from my couch whenever watching a podcast on their YouTube channel.  To be able to attend this life changing moments with my husband was so surreal. I believe he thought it will be a 'girly' event but when the guest was Mpoomy's husband th...

I wrote a letter to God on 11 July 2024 where I said that I trust Him with what He is doing.  I was still waiting on a open door for my transfer. During that period I was on course. Now I cannot contain my thankfulness towards God because even if it took time, he made it happen according to His purpose. I am in awe of His faithfulness.  So whilst I was still on course in Capetown my transfer signal came through. This was my authority to move from Pretoria to Cape Town. How awesome is God. End August 2024 our family's breakthrough came!!! In the same year end of September 2024 my husband got a new oppertunity also in Cape Town. The faithful God we serve. How can we not serve Him? This year I'm going all into receiving what He has already made available by grace to us!! I pray that we will use our gifts to serve others needs in a community that God will direct us too. Thank you heavenly Father.  Amen.  Your daughter Chrisandy

I sit here in Cape Town listening to the wind that is  blowing so heavily outside. The weather is not good at all. Schools have been closed for two days and will only commence on Monday. I am suppose to prepare for my test of tomorrow but I feel I already covered the most. So I decided to write something. I miss my family so much. This is the 2nd week away from home.I am on course for two months.It is part of my career to do these courses. So I have to complete it and than I can return home in early September 2024.  I have ample time to sleep alot when not in class or writing a test. Time to read, to write, eat and sleep. Through all this I learned to trust my Father for the season also this side. May I see God in all of this and know He is taking care of my family. I trust in God for the transfer I am also waiting on. He knows what is best for us so we trust and believe. This is a time in our lives we will forever remember of how God remained faithful even when I sometimes do...

Don't be surprise if everyone won't clap for you. It's just part of the journey. Some will create the illusion that they are but actually it is just to quiet their own feelings of fear that arises everytime they see you becoming better or doing better. It is a fear that is 'what if she/he will do better than them' . It can also be showing the world that I'm celebrating him or her eventhough they never personally said 'Well done!'or' You know I'm proud of you! '. Beware if their actions in front of the whole world does not match their actions in secret.  Let this however not demotivate you to continue what you do best at your own pace and in your own lane. You have only one goal and that is not to outshine anyone else but only the person you were one year ago. If you still wondering if you must open your business, do it, if you should write that book, do it! If you should apply for that job, do it! If you should develop yourself on a personal ...

You will always be tested before your next promotion /elevation. E. G in the military there are courses that you need to do and be found competent in order to move  closer to your next rank or position.If you do not take the course you move down the seniority list for courses. Sometimes we are setting ourselves up for failing the tests. Let us not be our own stumbling block.  Do not stand back to take each test you get along your way. The journey of life is constantly bringing you tests and it will take all your courage to face the test, pass it and move to the next level or repeat the test over and over because you are not yet found compotent. Do not postponed taking the test because you will block your own pathway to elevation. Prepare for the test, Take the test, Pass the test and Move to your next level.

Each individual has a story to share. We all will have to experience a  beginning,middle, turning point and ending during our journey called life. Each chapter of our life gives us a lesson if we are seeing it earlier than later in life. Sometimes it takes years for us to see the bigger picture but d have so much gratitude at the end of a certain chapter in our life stories. We don't always see the end or even think there will come an end to a chapter. Whether good or bad, it is for a reason. So let's think about the change we want to see in our life episodes. What can we do to accomplish those changes? Sometimes we are our own stumble blocks and we prevent ourselves from reaching our full capacity in life. I want to be the change to also infuse change into someone else's life. We want good change and not change that will be harmful to us. I choose change to impact others life's. So let's embrace changes we need to to do on our own lives first before moving on to th...
