My Wêreld van my eie wêreld!
Waar mense in liefde weer mens word vir mekaar, groei die hemel oor die aarde!
Isaiah 43 verse 2
You are the protected one - you are a child of the almighty high GOD and that makes you the best protected and best preserved specie on this earth. No waters can sweep you over - no fire can burn you - there is no storm in your life that can not be overcome. The LORD is on your side and nothing but nothing is impossible for HIM to do.
Be encouraged today to take that fire, that river or that storm and place it at the feet of our loving LORD and experience HIS immediate protection - you will not be burned - flames will not set you ablaze. HE loves you with a love that never ends

N baie kosbare boodskap-Take the High Road
(Exodus 14:14, AMP)
From Joel and Victoria
In life, we're always going to have critics. We'll always have difficult people who try to upset us and steal our peace and joy. But, you don't have to respond to every critic. You can decide to take the high road and let God fight your battles for you.
Sometimes, no matter what you say or do, there are people who aren't going to accept you. They just don't want to be at peace with you. In fact, when Jesus sent out His disciples to certain homes, He told them to always speak peace over those homes. And then He said in effect, "If they don't receive the peace that you're offering, then it will come back to you." That tells me that if you will do your best to be at peace with people, even if they won't take your peace, the good news is that peace will just come back to you. You'll not only get your peace, but you'll get their share as well! That's double for your trouble! When you do the right thing no matter what is happening, God sees it and rewards it. Today, stay in peace, cease from strife, and take the high road. Sow good seeds into others and watch the harvest of blessing come to your own life in return.
Dis die woorde wat ek gehoor het van God nadat ons veld deur die brand verwoes is + 2jr terug.
— Genesis 28:15-17 —
Want Hy sien tot by die eindes van die aarde.
Lewens lesse!
--Don Herold
Om mooi te wees.....
ou Bantoe-spoorsnyer in die jagveld van Afrika het geantwoord :"Om mooi te
wees, moet die hart van die vrou drie dinge wees:"
"Dit moet
wees soos die gras wat deur die diere afgevreet word,maar altyd weer
groei.G'n seer moet dit doodmaak nie."
"Dit moet
wees soos 'n fontein wat deur die diere vaal getrap word,maar daarna altyd
weer helder word.Geen man moet sy modderspore daarin agterlaat
nie."
"Dit moet
wees soos die rooidag,wat elke môre die donker nag oorwin.Geen swaarkry
moet dit kan doodkry nie".

Dankie Rick Warren vir die Kosbaarheid!
You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with his wife now having cancer and him having 'wealth' from the book sales. This is an absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren, 'Purpose Driven Life ' author and pastor of Saddleback Church in California .
In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said:
People ask me, What is the purpose of life?
And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.
One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me.
I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity..
We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.
Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one. The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy. We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness. This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.
I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore.
Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life..
No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on.
And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.
You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems:
If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain.' But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.
We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her- It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.
You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life.
Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy.
It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease.
So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72.
First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit.. We made no major purchases.
Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church..
Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation.
Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to serve God for free.
We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?
Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?
When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do.
That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.
Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD.. God's Blessings

Ek en my Hubby
--George Eliot
Japie het sy hoed op wat Tru-Nell en Simon vir hom gekoop het in Australie. Te spoggerig
Wat God saamgevoeg het Sal ons nie skei nie!EK EN JAPIE
Ons twee is ingemessel waar God ons geplant
het.
Ons is net eenvoudig gestel baie lief vir mekaar.
Ons persoonlikhede verskil dag en nag maar
ons is die beste maats vir gesels en gesels om n kosmaakpoging aan te wend
enige aand wat kop uit steek.
Ons liefde vir Onverwacht Flora
Met Eagle’s Nest is ons by hoofstuk twee
verby en ons vorder fluks met die komende hoofstukke van ons romanse boek.
Ons vertrou dat altwee akkommodasie plekke
saam n eenheid sal vorm wat vir ons nog baie genot sal verskaf tot in lengte
van dae!
Met Japie se impulsiewe geaardheid en my
goed deurdagte geaardheid sal ons Eagle’s Nest en Onverwacht Flora na die beste
van ons vermoëns bedryf met God se Krag en Genade.
Gen:1:26
God said: Let Us make mankind in Our
image,after Our likeness,and let them have complete outhority over the fish of
the sea,the birds of the air,the beasts,and over all of the earth,and over
everything that creeps upon the earth.
