My first post and we've been on this journey for over 3 weeks. We've been super busy with #imagine and the opening of the Jeffreys Bay high school Global Leadership Academy. We've been learning a lot about serving and with what heart you are serving. Our vision is Live, Serve & Grow. We have been challenged to live together as a team doing everything together. You can imagine that with 6 girls living in a small space. I can't lie. It's been great. We have a lot of fun but it has it's challenges. I feel like this is a...

28 Maart 2017 Last week we had an amazing teaching on our identity in Christ given by Mamma Cita and uncle Mike. It resonated with our hearts. All of us in the adventure bound team is still young and it's encouraging to discover who we are in Christ. We learned that it is very important to find our identity in Christ and not in other things like our social status, our appearance or our success. When my identity is strong in Christ it won't matter to me what other people say about me! I love the comparison mamma Cita gave us....

They said "#imagine", and we asked "what can we do?".... craziest commitment ever It's almost like a really bad poem that ends beautifully with a lot of life lessons in it. Work hard, don't stop. Offense is a choice, don't waist food, don't get attached, you need friends, good friends. And you are gonna need a moment. Growing is something we can do on beautiful days, you know? Like a day you too would sing about. But I do not care so much for those days because windy, bad, sunny, crazy warm, not beautiful days you can grow on too...

15 Maart 2017 Adventure bound We are a team and our adventure has finally begun. Adventure bound exists out of 6 girls living life together for 4 months. It is so exciting and so much fun. The Lord really blessed us with an amazing house. This journey is going to be amazing, but I know that it is going to stretch me and challenge me in many ways. An area in which I know I have to grow a lot in is time managment. I am not aware of time and I know that it can be frustrating for people...

It's like that Father to daughter, daughter to Father conversation that goes something like "Dad my life is falling apart!" "No it's not here is some cake" kind of thing. Yes this is crazy. Yes I am freaking out and yes it feels like my life is a movie but it is okay. I am okay. God keeps blessing me in crazy ways like we got one week to go home and when I went I did not know how I was going to get back to Jeffreys Bay, and then God just provided. It was through people I did...

Sitting here, staring at a screen and trying to think of words that I can use to fill this blank space. Trying to find the words to describe what Jesus has done in my heart and all the things I have experienced during Training 2017. As I think back, I am absolutley speechless and all I can do at this moment is praise God because he is truly amazing!!! I wrote a poem (more like a descriptive paragraph) in training, I think it is a good way to kick start this new thing, called blogging and to share some of...

I am content This... this took me 18 years and 8 months. I just got at this point were I gave over and yes I still get those breakdown moments where I try to open the door of self control again but,I am content. God came these two months like a mighty crane and demolished everything I knew and everything I thought I knew. Then, well then He came to me in my broken and stripped place and talked so soft and gentle.He knocked and I did not want to open the door but still He went to gather lilies...
