Tribute to Samke Khumalo...

Although I didn't know you that well, you were always so polite and friendly when I saw you. My brother always spoke of you...what a great friend you were, a brother.

It's tradegic that you had to leave us, just as you were begging a new chapter in your life's journey, but you fulfilled your plan on earth and now God calls you to be with Him, in Heaven.

As headboy of St Charles College, you led by example with honour and pride. You made history being the 1st African headboy...it was no coincidence that you were chosen to lead the school. That was Gods plan for you, and you obeyed willingly and gave your all.

Now that you're physical being no longer dwells with us, you spirit will always remain in those people's lives you touched...and there were many.

Samke, I will remember you as a brother 2 my own brother, you 2 helped each other overcome so many obstacles and found joy in each others company and shared so many happy and funny moments.

So thank you for being the legend you were and will always be. May you find eternal happiness and bring comfort to those who are in mourning of your passing.

Thank you God for this mans life, although short, he did what was required of him and did us all proud. Please bless his families and give us all strength to comprehend and understand and may we see the everyday blessing in our lives even when we think that amidst the storm there cannot possibly be any light.

And all God's people said....Amen

Weak,Beaten,Bruised & Scarred...

Like a new born child, weak, helpless, defensless but with a distorted image....body bruised and scarred beyond recognition.

The hurt caused by somebody you love and should trust...devastating.

The realisation that your upbringing has been based on lies...

The perception of family members has been a lie...he actually isn't that bad, he was looking out 4 me but maybe didn't do it in the right manner...

The information been given by someone unexpected, that has never been spoken of...soul destroying...

The fact that the wrong person has been blamed all this time...hurts

The deciet, lies, anger and revenge that have controlled your life...that you have suffered under...that you have had to make sacrifices for 2 try survive....all a waste cos you didn't actually have to if she had just taken responsibility...

The burden you carry for the sake of others...is to heavy and has crushed you

We live in a fallen world...and I don't want to be a part of it anymore

Exams...let the stress pile on!

Well punks and punkettes its that time of year again...the dreaded E word...yes EXAMS!!! I have already written 1 and have 6 left....didn't go 2 badly cept the essay topics were rather rubbish and challenging.

I don't know bout you guys but I get stressed SO easily and sometimes even get panic attacks...its really bad but then when I get to the exam and start writting...i feel so dumb 4 stressing and worrying cos 9/10 it turns out alright...well managable!

So...all the best to those of us who are writting exams, I pray that God will clam your nerves and give you a clear head and understanding.

God bless xxx

Exciting Possibilities...

Hi punks....wow its been quite a while since I last blogged,just shows how crazy life has been. Haven't touched base with so many of my friends and family so I thought I'd share my potentially exciting news about my future...well at least next year. I have decided to apply for the childrens' pastor at our church (Wesley Methodist). I'm so excited about it...the new challenges it would entail, being around kids and watching them grow with Christ, I can't help but be excited and enthusiastic about the growth within the community.

It's so amazing how God works, it truely is. I was thinking that next year is going to be the worst and hardest year ever as my best friends are going overseas and i'm going to miss them SO MUCH. I was feeling very glum and down about what my life was going to be like next year. But every sunday when I went to church and read the notices, the advert for a Children's pastor kept staring at me, I ignored it despite people telling me to go for it...why would I, im stil a kid myself (not 4 2 much longer though). But the notices kept coming up and nobody was clearly applying. So I had a bit of a thinking session...ja take cover-a blonde thinking...some serious combustion happening lol! I want to eventually become an educational psychologist, which would ultimately lead me to work with kids...and then bingo I hit the jackpot. Maybe God was letting me see those recurring adverts for a reason, and maybe I should investigate it a bit more. I have been praying about it for a while now and will hopefully receive the info today and then make a final decision of whether I stand a chance or not and whether this is what God wants for me.

So hold thumbs and pray like crazy that things turn out the way they meant to be....
