This is definately the thief of time :-(!!! I had a marvelous idea, it included mining the brains of one of the most intelligent historians this country has ever seen who also happens to be related to my mum! And guess what, I kept delaying, for years and years I shelved the project. I discussed it with tonnes of people but never got anything off the ground :-(!! He passed away today :-(
No more procastination!!

Good Monday
:-( feeling sick, funky lunch!! Not having the same thing tomorrow.
Training is very very cool though. Having lots of fun and learning a lot on leadership as well, plus its getting my creative juices flowing.
That reminds me, need to put together a complete invite! Need to be organised! And I need to start packing :-)

Joy beyond measure
I cant explain it, but I am feeling so happy, so warm, so inspired. Like I have been given a new lease on life! Reminds me of the first time I went to UB, I was so so happy. Deep down, I would walk to campus and all I could see where the flowers, ideas were overflowing in my mind. It felt like God was right there, telling me that it will all be okay, that I will excel, that I will meet wonderful people.
:-) I have the exact same feeling right now! I have this wonderful feeling that everything is going alright, that I am going to succeed!! That I dont have to worry about anything. It feels like I am walking into a new season and I so cant wait :-). I am so so exctited, got out all these books that I feel I should read, I guess now I just need to create the time to read them.
I think I should go bed and bask in the glory and goodness of God :-)

Be still my soul
A friend asked me: 'Would you rather have a bigger cheque, more benefits or be married to Farai'? And without thinking I said, married to Farai of course!!
I must admit, there are days when i get so ... whats the word? Afraid!! That's the word!!! Why I don't know. Afraid of the future, afraid of its uncertainty! God says he has not given us a spirit of fear.... He says perfect love casts out all fear :-)
When Farai asked me to marry him, I wasnt afraid of the future (in fact i was so glad i was going to quit my boring job)! But then my dad spoke against my quitting my job...i have always looked up to my dad and valued his advise (even where i could see it was wrong).
:-( it feels like i have to choose between my dad and my husband, do i have to? In this instance though, my husband wins. Yes, I have days when I can hear my dad's voice speaking out against my quitting. :-) but i can hear another friend saying 'Surely your dad hasnt seen the way Farai looks at you, Farai loves you and that will be more than enough'.
And another friend said the most profound statement, "God is listening!!"
I have been blessed with a great husband who reminded me that, "We have nothing to fear for the future least we forget how the Lord has led us in the past........we need to trust him......we also need to be still".
And God himself is telling me that if he provided for the widow in the old testament, he will do much more for me! :-) I am blessed!!

And do not forget to entertain strangers...
The text for the sermon today was from Genesis 18:1-8
The story were Abraham is sitting at the door of his tent and sees 3 strangers and runs to them and begs them to take a rest stop in his tent. They agree, he runs to Sarah and asks her to bake 3 cakes and Sarah doesn't even ask why, but bakes the cakes which Abraham gives to the gentlemen.
How many people would do that in this day and age? Invite not just any visitors, but strangers into their homes. I know it would be difficult for me to do that, I would think of all the evil that might befall me if I were to do such a thing! But the bible says some of us have entertained angels unawares. Surely people were still evil in those days, after all, the 3 men were on the way to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah because of the evil in those cities! Why are we so afraid of man? Cant God take care of us? I am sure he can and I pray that my hubby and I can be like Abraham and Sarah, entertaining the strangers that God brings our way. I pray also for protection and the ability to discern those who will want to do us harm.
It was such a humble inspiring sermon..... A call to true Christian living, not just the lip service that we pay to Christianity.
