Waterproof Principle 34 - Persevere




Persevere


When I started this adventure, almost 5 years ago, all my posts were studies and reflections on life principles.


One principle for every birthday.


So now, I don't know if that was such a good idea. Lots of people will now know my age. (Hehehe!...Guess I'm taking one for the team).

I remember saying to myself that if one person out there, somewhere, should happen to read the posts and be encouraged by it, that I would continue writing. It would be worth it.
Deep stuff nê.

Well, Ok, if that one person is your mother then you kind of feel like, ok aaaannnyone else except my mother, if anyone ELSE reads it then I'll continue to write....

My husband, sister, mother, some family members and friends were always reading my posts and supporting me in what I was doing. So I kept writing and the support kept growing.

Thanks to all the somebodies, especially hubby, mommy and sussie, that were not out there somewhere, but somewhere in here❤️. Thanks for supporting me and your continued love and support. Also to all the new readers and friends.

Imagining we are musketeers...or maybe star war heroes. All of us, our gifts and talents, are like the swords/weapons we can USE to crush the mundane of normal that is "killing us softly" - wherever we may be.

When I was worked into a corner (literally, my previous office desk was in a corner - at some point), studying God's principles and writing creatively was my weapon of choice.
The pen really is a sword.


Fight off the boring.
Fight off that negative vibe of insignificance.
The color and joy we allow into our lives are mostly because of a change we decided to make or an adventure we decided to embark on.

It requires one to move in faith.
It requires one to work in faith.
Change and color will meet you in the field.

So on this very day.
Another birthday.
The principle I would like to share is to
"build in faith and to persevere."

Yes, we will get tired.
Yes, we will encounter nasty vibes and certain uncertainties.

Do not give up!
Win by keeping your eye on the Prize.
The Author and Finisher of our faith.

Keep doing what you are, wholeheartedly, convinced you were born to do!
The light will break through when the time is right.

Let's Start and End with Love, in the highs and lows.
Let us not forget Who gave us life and Who it is all really about.



James 1:12
Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

#Bakgat Gesondheidsbeskuit

My ouma het altyd gesê: “As jy kan lees, kan jy bak”. Ek het dit altyd geglo en wyd en syd verkondig, maar vandat ek self begin bak het vir ‘n lewe, het ek agtergekom dat jy meer leer met ondervinding as wat enige resep jou kan vertel. Soos ek dan nou hierdie resep met julle deel, deel ek dan ook my ondervinding, wat ‘n paar vrae dalk vir julle sal opklaar en natuurlik die mite dat beskuit moeilik is om te bak van die tafel afhaal. Bestandele: 1kg Bran Rich Self Raising Flour  (of gewone self raising flour as jy nie so baie van semels hou nie) 10ml Bakpoeier 10ml Sout 125ml Klapper 250ml Sonneblom sade 100ml Rosyne 50ml fyn gekapte neute van jou keuse 500ml All Bran Flakes  (goedkoper bran flakes ook goed, maar proe nie so lekker nie) 250ml Suiker (wit of bruin, maak nie saak nie) 500ml Oats (maak nie saak watter ‘brand’ nie) 500g Botter (gesmelt) 500ml Karringmelk Hierdie is die basis waarvan af ek werk. As ek nie bv. Oats of rosyne het nie, sal ek dit vervang met ...

Die klippie in my skoen - geskryf deur iskra

Wat 'n knaende verraad! Daardie klippie in die skoen. Daardie ding wat krap en pla en mens soms verleë laat. Dis 'n pes as jy dalk jaag van hier na daar, soveel dinge wat aan jou trek; jou aandag vat; daar is nie tyd nie! Vir jou om net te kan sit, skoen uittrek en die verdomde ding uitgooi! Pfffeeeu...! Wat 'n verligting as hy eers weg is! So klein dingetjie met soveel praat in sy kneuse...daardie klippie in die skoen. (Talk about rubbing me up the wrong way!) Ons het almal maar ons klippies. Klein goedjies wat haak en pla. Daagliks knaag dit aan ons..maal dit rond in ons koppe, laatnag, wannneer ons eintlik moet slaap... Ons veiligheid. Ons kinders se toekoms, gesondheid. Hoe gaan jy hierdie maand daardie rekening betaal? Jou huwelik of 'n vriendskap is dalk op 'n snaakse plek of selfs naby skipbreek? Dalk ons eie gesondheid wat 'n lelike rapport gekry het... 'n finale een...wat jou asem weggeruk het...wat jou, die mense om jou, dae en minute met '...
