it was weekend, well kind of...

so it was the weekend that just past. not sure what happened, rather what did not happen. 


went from work to training to work. to some more work. got to see a dear friend and then to work again. not sure of the future but seriously hoping the work gets more entertaining and exciting.


ending the weekend on a monday morning with early coffee, mango and train to uct vibes. hoping she stays safe. looking forward to the week of work, friends, test, kids, and God ever present and unchanging.

Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night," even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. Psalms 139:7-14...


God is ...

the week and endings and farewells...

so the busyness of the week, early mornings and sounds of trains still sound in my mind, followed by goodbyes, kisses and hugs.

so another week ended and weekend started with tired bodies and refreshed on the saterday with a run down to a beach and followed by some productive workings and time spent together.

then it was off with friends to the strand and epic fires and braais, with abundant food and great games of poker. ending with a midnight drive home.

everything seems simple late at night. as it should be. 

weekend ending with sadness but with joy and love in our ♥ ...

so our sister is off to korea. but not to late, not to soon.

we shall see you soon.

we miss.
we love.
you.

♥

it is ♥ day.

week started early. on a monday morning. no electricty there. and a running pipe.


but its valentines day. what it holds. not so sure. but all that is needed to be known. love abounds. always. everywhere.

my heart. is His heart. with her heart. joined.

your valentine. always.

so yes. you guessed it right. this is a post to say happy valentines day. (not so hard to guess if you read the heading).

but this is me saying thank you. saying thank you.

thank for the past many months. for the amazing moments. special times. and countless hours spent together. every moment will be remembered. always.

thank you for the coffee surprises. the sugar. the brownies. my favorite dishes. the naps. the movies and random series on the laptop while i am asleep on the couch. thank for the photo shoots and swims and tans. thank you for the love shared in ice cream and desert. thank you for the tears of joy. for the prayers of strength. perseverance and love. thank you for the early wake ups. allowing me to intrude on the nao and nici time. thank you for hugs when most needed. 

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 1 John 4-7

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 

or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 

it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 

Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 

For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 

When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. 

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-13 

thank you for family. thank you for forever. 

thank you for you love.

ice-cream, coke, roundabouts, beach and weekends...

amazing Sunday.
church, lunch and then a beach filled afternoon. with ice-cream from our favorite ice-cream shop and the playing on the roundabout at the park and then a blissful walk around town.

all to end with a vintage coke glass bottle in hand [they always taste better that way]

You ✝...

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork - Psalms 19:1.

ticking off time . . .

Time spent. All of it. Perfectly. Unproductive. More blessed so.

p.s. i now love white hot chocolate :)

weekend spent with poker and friends...

weekend spent in many ways matters not. weekend spent with that of friends matters all.

the long weekend started with pizza and poker, continued to a burger evening with friends and movies the following evening, to family dinners and such enjoyable chats around the dinner table.

ending weekends of with glorious sundays spent with family, church, lunches and sunday evening movies - which i this case was cougar town series with coffee and company on the couch :)

p.s. life is bliss if you don't know where you are going, but you trust where you will end up...

c a m p . . .

stillness, loudness, God everywhere.

Fun, hurt, team building. best thing. May be winning, but even more so knowing we are saved by the gospel.
