the 30 life Principles is where it all really began for Nasieinspirasie (afrikaans: inspiration for the nation). it was the year of my 30th birthday and I thought...to celebrate I would share the life lessons and cuts I experienced thus far...
these principles are so precious to me as I believe it not only builds us (through God's Word and God's Spirit), but it PROTECTS us (our hearts) from the nagging, unnecessary leaks of life. Hence the name; WATERPROOF Principles.
After the Principles were completed, I did not want to stop writing and thought I would start interviewing people...
My first ever interview is one I will never forget and that was the interview with Willie, The Fudge Man. He has been selling his Fudge at the traffic light/road in our neighbourhood. Each bag he sells has a printed bible verse included with the fudge which he says is his baking powder...
He really had an inspiring story and I felt greatly encouraged to share and keep sharing other people's stories.
The Heart of NasieInspirasie is to lift up, pick up and encourage all the nobodies (in the eyes of the world) that they may see themselves through the eyes of God.
God sent a Somebody Special, His ONLY Son, in our stead, to unite what was devided, to find what was lost. Jesus.
The Heart of NasieInspirasie is also to encourage people to stop looking at what we do not have and to use, thankfully, what we indeed do have and so multiply our gifts,and most importantly, the message of Christ through those gifts! So many of us feel inadequate and hide the very gifts we were given to develop in Christ.
furthermore, Nasieinspirasie has grown with the help, willingness and involvement of others using their talents and passions, bringing colour and creativity, giving Nasieinspirasie wings
and ways to reach out, not only locally, but accross borders and oceans!
a great big thank you to everyone ever
involved in the makings of this Blog.
God bless you xxx
So when I look back...
Where it all began...
How it has been taking form, shape
growing and reaching out...
I am thankful to God, Jehovah Jireh,
for this opportunity to Love
creatively and to have the courage
to Dream.
much love,
iskra
a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire
