Encouragement Blog

So far so good I think. I don't have a lot of people yet, got around 20 so far. People are so busy that I am not sure how many people will actually keep reading my devotions, but my prayer is that more and more people will find my blog and keep reading it. I have only received feedback and responses from 3 people, but I will keep going. If my blog is meant to reach only those 3 people then it will go on. Christ left the 99 sheep in the fold and went to look for the one. If the 99 are safe, then the blog will be for that 1. I know I had expected a lot of good feedback from family and friends and haven't really received any on that front, but I am going to try not to be disappointed and try to work for the Lord and not for family and friends' nods of approval.

Its Friday today, preparation day. So after this I am going to get ready for the Sabbath :-). Welcome, Welcome ever welcome blessed Sabbath day!!!

Finally

:-) yep!!! I have finally started the encouragement blog. It feels good. I have been planning (mentally) to get started on the blog and I have finally started and even invited a couple of people. No turning back now :-). I am going to start getting material for the other blogs that I want to push out. Hope all of them are successful :-).

Feels very good. Maybe I should start one on all the dishes I try out that come out well.

Internet

Joo!! This thing can be hectic! I had a virus the other day and cleaning it was a mission and a half. Today I needed to send something to a friend that I had been meaning to send and getting online was a pain! :-) I am finally online now. I was reading somewhere that said that the UN had moved the Right to Internet Access was now a human right and not a need. I have heard people say that people at the UN have no job, but to have Internet Access as a human right? I do not know, maybe I am looking at this whole thing the wrong way but what exactly does the UN do or stand for? For me, it looks like they just sit and discuss what should be a right and a need.The UN has let me down tonnes of times so really, they are just there..... Maybe something will happen to restore my faith in the UN but yah, in this world, Christ is our only hope!!

24 hours.....

I woke up today with a list of things to do in my mind. As soon as my husband left for work and I sat down, I didn't know what or how to do it! I was blank! It stressed me a bit because I have been home for a week now and I have not really done anything. I had not wanted to clean or do any household chores today but because I was feeling bored and unmotivated, I figured I might as well get those out of the way for the week so I did cleaned and did laundry. Will be ironing this evening. Had wanted to cook or bake up a storm, but there is so much food in the fridge. I will do that maybe on Wednesday. I have brought a couple of books from home. I think I will switch off the laptop and start reading and writing. I will be starting a couple more blogs in a couple of days so I think going forward I will be busy. Need to get the financial literacy stuff out of the way though. Need to clear my mind though. Feels like there are a million things running through my mind at the moment. 24 hours seem like too much or too little at times.

For now, I am going to get ready for tomorrow and for supper. Clean the kitchen, cook and iron and think :-)

Home Sweet Home

Been gone 2 weeks and it feels like I have been gone forever. It feels good to be home :-). The thing with Air Botswana depressed me hectically and I was not able to even get out of bed. My baby came and reminded me that it could have been worse, reminded me that the people who messed us up are happy with their families and we should forget about it and enjoy our life. Like my baby always says, life is too short to spend it stressing and not enjoying ourselves so I am going to start living my life and enjoying and loving it. So no more stress over Air Bots. I am home and I am going to start living like it were my last day. That means more reading and writing and more cooking and more going out and doing stuff that I love doing.

Air Botswana

I used to be very patriotic, that is until I took Air Botswana on the 3rd of July 2011! I was left stranded at OR Tambo airport after having been repeatedly assured that my connection had been sorted out because of the Air Botswana flight delay. I got to Joburg only to be told that my contract with Air Bots was done as I was now in Joburg and no they could not sort out my connection because they had a technical issue with the plane, making that my problem. I was humiliated and inconvenienced greatly and ended up having to buy a new ticket to the value of R1172! I have no kind thoughts or words for Air Botswana and I think they would do everyone a huge favour if they could fire everyone and close up shop. They are clearly in the wrong business.
