My mom

Praise the Lord!

After 6 weeks of recovery, my mom went for a check-up today and the Doctor said she is doing really well and all her symptoms she's been having are all normal after major surgery and has extended her recovery time! The mass was benign which is such a relief. Her anemia is under control and is stable which is positive.

Today was a chaotic day so the good news was very welcome! Prayers as she continues to get stronger and fully recover will be greatly appreciated.

Banana's

So today, I decided to eat a jungle oats bar that was banana flavoured. I don't bananas as they always make me feel nauseous and unwell, but I thought this would be different....well turns out it wasn't! So i decided to do some research and it looks like I possibly have a food allergy to banana's!! They say people who are allergic to pollen are prone to banana allergies.

So all I can say is THANK YOU body for making me feel like shit!!

For future reference, if anyone is reading this don't ever let me eat or give me anything banana flavoured!!

On a positive note, I had a lovely and relaxing half term and am ready for the next 5 weeks until holidays!! My aunt and uncle always look after me so well, and feed me far 2 much, but I love them loads and am so blessed to have them as part of my family!

Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious week =D xxx

Frustration

Today we had our annual Inter-house gala. As usual Doz did a fantastic job of organising everything down to the tee. 

It always amazes me that little kids can get an instruction right but older ones cant?! I have never been able to understand that concept and today proved no different! The older I get (and I'm not THAT old) the more I find that kids seem to be loosing the common sense gene or concept....they have NONE! Actually come to think of it I'm finding that some adults also missed out! It boggles my mind.

I often find myself very frustrated at the lack of commitment and responsibility. I often get instant high blood pressure and see red and hit a rage!I get so full of anger and hatred that I take out on the wrong people. Today made me realise that if you don't control yourself and direct that anger to the right people or diffuse it, it just makes you upset, cos the others sure don't give a shit!so at the end of the day, you're the one that gets put in a bad mood, you're the one who gets upset and no one else cares...so what's the freaking point??

SO today's lesson is: Try diffuse a potentially frustrating situation before it explodes and stay in control of yourself!

ps. my legs go so sunburnt its not even funny :( but hey at least i got some sort of tan...now my legs wont be see through anymore :D

Hope you guys had a terrific Tuesday

Back to the life of blogging

So I've been out of action for quite a while now and have decided to get back in the swing of things...

A quick update of what I've been doing:

I completed my PGCE ECD and am working at Woodridge Prep in the Eastern Cape. I am really enjoying life here in the bundus and am so blessed to work with a wonderful, supportive staff. I have made some new friends which is always a good thing ;)

My great gran passed away on the 29th Jan 2013 which was a huge knock for me as we were really close. I miss her every single day and wish i had more time with her

My mom had major abdominal surgery this last December holiday to remove a massive mass weighing over 6 kgs!! was a very stressful time for us as a family, but she is well on the road to recovery, Praise the Lord!

I am writing with the soothing sounds of rain drops on my roof and a slight but lovely chill in the air...its been a scorcher of a summer here!

ok well thats all for now, take it easy xxx

Frightening...

So I seriously cannot believe that it is February 2011 already!!!Where does the time go...honestly

Well an update of my life is in order I think....

So I didn't get the permanent job after working there for 3 years but God had a plan....I was so upset and pursued it with legal action whihc never materialised....but God had a plan. I had been looking for a job since Oct 2010 and literally nothing came up despite sending my CV EVERYWHERE!! I was starting to loose hope and  that I was going to face some very tough times ahead...when I got a phone call from my old work asking if I was avaliable cos they need help =) wow God really did have a plan and everything worked out so perfectly (as to be expected when God is involved). So I now have a job for the year =)

I have 6 modules left to complete my Psychology degree =) yay for me I love it and have a deep passion for it and think that God has called me to study this so that in return I may hopefully help and heal others just like Jesus did/does!

My brother is off overseas to work and earn money to pay for his studies as he was refused admission to DUT this year =( I think it will do him the WORLD of good to survive on his own without mommy dearest (bless her soul) to bail him out all the time.

My mom turned 50 this week!!!AAAAHHHH but nothing has changed, still the same funny and cheerful bubble person =)

I am now very involved at Wesley Methodist Church running the junior youth programme along with some amazing leaders and am part of 2 worship teams, 1 morning and 1 evening. I feel so blessed to honoured to be able to use my God given talents to further His Kingdom.

So thats me in a nutshell for now...I have been absolutely terrible at this whole blogging thing but I will try blog more often.

Take care and God's richest blessings

Life...

Hey all you lovely people....so seeing as this blog is supposed 2 be about my life I thought I'd share what's been happening in the past couple months...

1stly,I have submitted my application to become permanent staff at my job...so please pray that God's will be done if it is for me to get the job =)

2nd, my gr8 gran fell on friday afternoon!=( wow what a weekend...tears, laughs, playing nurse (i actually enjoyed it) emotional rollercoaster!She is doing much better but still in pain. Please continue to pray for her healing and that her strength is restored...oh by teh way she is 92 YEARS OLD!!!

3rd, My brother had to move down to Durban for his studies this year...truth be told I really miss him,especially in times when things get hard,but I know he is much happier and thriving in his varsity work. He comes home some weekends and every long holiday which is good although we fight like anything,we also have fun =)

4th, My best friend Sam moved back home this year as well so I have not seen her in about 6 months...i really really miss her so so much. From squash dates at least 3 times a week, to helping each other with varisty, to having a good old bitch and moan, to just sitting, chatting and being around one another...I miss it all so much!But luckily there are things called SMS's and telephones to make calls with so we still keep in touch at least!

So thats about it in a nutshell...sorry i'm so sare with this blog,time just gets away with me....scary

God bless you all and be blessed by His grace xoxo

It's been a while

Hey all you lovely people =)

SO...its been like AGES since I last posted something...I actually forgot I even had a blog until my friend Ty mentioned it last night...thanks ty.

So it's a new year, with new beginnings and old habits. I am still in the books studying, still working and now am leading our kids youth program while our children's pastor is getting ready for maternity leave!

I can't believe we are already in March...wow time is flying past me I dont know where it goes, but it sure is in a hurry =).

Wishing you all the best for this year, hang in there and rely on God for strength and well...for everything really!!

God bless
