To my Abba-man


 I'm writing you this letter as a reflection of my heart and prayers. I may not know who you are but I do know with the greatest confidence that our paths will cross at exactly the right time. I also know that Father put as much care into creating you and me as individuals, as He did creating you and me for each other, what an amazing gift! 

I pray for your strength, spiritual strength. Because I know that there will be battles that will require you to be strong of spirit and have the courage of David. I also pray for your physical strength because I like hanging portraits and photo's - muscles always come in handy! 

As much as I pray for you and about you, I also lay myself at Abba's feet and ask Him to mold me into the woman that you are praying for, that I may be the best and strongest version of myself to be able to serve you to the best of my ability. My heart is to serve my King first and foremost and I believe that the closer we move to God the closer we will move to each other. 

As difficult as being patient is, I find rest in the fact that it is all part of the bigger picture (what a cliché). I know that this waiting period is important because if you try and harvest too soon the crop won't be ready. I believe that your patience wears thin at times too, but the harvest will be much greater if we wait on Yeshua's perfect timing. 

I pray whole heartedly that whatever trials and tribulations you may face that you will turn your eyes heavenward and find solace in the arms of Abba Father. He knows your heart better than you do and will always have a plan up His sleeve. I trust Him to protect you and keep you until our paths cross. 

I have been privileged and blessed enough to have been surrounded by Godly men and women who set the standard so high, and I am so excited to one day join the big leagues with you in hand. They are quite a tough crowd, but they are definitely worth getting to know. 

I await your arrival with a great excitement in my heart, and I thank my heavenly Father that His plans exceed my dreams by far more than I can fathom. 
Enjoy the journey, see you on the other side! 

-J.

Advert adventures: Khaki English

Post advert, proud of the end product feat. Pappa's beloved Landy  Being a communication student, I am always ready to jump in to help with any assignment or project that requires creativity or language skills. Over the weekend, whilst visiting with family here in Potchefstroom, my cousin, Christine, took advantage of the opportunity to pick my brain concerning her English assignment - making an advertisement. A few ideas came to mind and after a few minutes, we had a basic blueprint laid out. After procrastinating the whole of Saturday, when Sunday afternoon was upon us we realized that it was now or never. We made quick work of arranging a set from a white table cloth and costumes out of Oom Christiaan's old khaki shirts and caps. Wikus, Christine's brother was roped in as cameraman and sound effect- maker, Jandri, the little sister, was in charge of lighting and Christine and I the actresses. After a few humorous attempts in the house and a rehearsal of lines, we ...

Wapad - I bid you farewell

Dearest Wapad From the moment that I put my CV into the blue folder on your door, it has been adventure and growth and glorious experience upon glorious experience. You have given me opportunities that I could never have dreamt of in my wildest dreams and for that I will forever be thankful. You have not only taught me that my comfort zone is actually an awful place to be but also that every person is worth having a conversation with and that the chance that they will surprise you is great. The excitement that came along with each "The newspapers are here!" message on a Thursday (supposedly but rarely) and the chaotic meetings filled with a constant chattering and exchange of enthusiastic ideas on a Monday evening are the moments that I cherish and will miss most! Thank you for the people that you forced me to allow into my life. They have formed me, changed me, renewed me but more than anything else accepted me (contradictory, I know but that's what makes t...

Visiting Cradock - the essence of South Africa

1600km. That is how far we traveled in four days, and I would do it again in a heart beat. Having never traveled to the Karoo or even to Bloemfontein, this past weekend has been one of new places and experiences. The adventure started Thursday afternoon, half past one where Alet (dear friend and Cradock local) and I caught our lift headed to Bloemfontein. We arrived late afternoon and were met by Alet's sister Marlè and her school friend Cathy. From the beginning of the journey, I was overcome by the sense of being privileged and blessed to endeavor onto ground that I had never trodden, and it all began in Bloemfontein. We drank a quick but very needed cup of coffee (little did I know that it was the first of MANY for the weekend) and then headed to meet Alet's mom at the house we were staying for the evening with pizza and wine in tow.  After supper, which was accompanied with plenty of laughs, we decided to grab an ice cream. Being adventurous with eating ice...
