Ok, technically I haven't packed yet. I plan to do that tonight - but man, am I ever ready to go!!! BLOEMFONTEIN - here I come! I am ready to learn, to be challenged, to grow. I have heard such amazing things about the LTT in Bloem, one year there was an Angel that sang with the choir!! For real - AN ANGEL!! Can you imagine the worship when an Angel joins you?? WOW, I am so excited - can you feel it? I couldn't sleep last night I just wanted to talk about everything I have heard the people telling me who have been there before...
So, I will be leaving tomorrow at around 1:00pm so that I can be at choir practice on Saturday and Sunday, cause the whole thing starts on Monday. Four and half THOUSAND people!! Can you imagine the preparation that goes into something like this. The sound equipment, for both the Muso's and the Speakers (That's people, not speakers for a hi-fi). The mothers room needs to be prepped with video feed and sound and all the stuff that mom's need to be comfy. Only very little children may go. Children between the ages of 3 and 14 may not go, unless they have felt a calling on their lives and want to learn more about being a purpose driven leader, and they have to be 14 years old to go. But it is so wonderful to see young people going all out for God. Hungry for more of Him, eager to learn and grow in Him.
I have heard people say too, that Bloem is just absolutely taken over for the five days of the LTT, we are everywhere. And ALL the guest houses are full and booked out. So if you ever plan on going to Bloemfontein - don't go in the last week of September!! LOL!! It could prove to be a bit of a problem.
Anyway, I have to go - I have a lot to do toady at work before I leave. So I cannot stay and chat. I will be back with you all on the 2 October. So, bye for now, love you all.

FAITHFUL IN THE VERY LITTLE
This weekend was really relaxing. And I learned a lot from Sunday’s message too. Peter, our Lead Elder was talking about being faithful with the little. And he said something that really made me think. He said we must ask God “What have I got in my hands?” by asking this we are asking God to reveal to us what we have at our disposal to use to bring glory to him NOW! We need to stop looking ahead to the future to when we will have our millions or when we will have our big house with the thought that “When I have my millions – then I can really serve God!!” That is noble – but God wants us to be faithful with what we have now too. Even if it is not much, like the story of the widow that we read about in 1 Kings 17 verses 10 – 16.
So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city,
behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, "Bring
me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink." And as she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, "Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand." And she said, "As the LORD your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of
flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. And now I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die."
And Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go and do as you have said. But first make me a
little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make something for yourself and
your son. For thus says the LORD the God of Israel, 'The jar of flour shall not be spent, and the jug of oil shall not be empty, until the day that the LORD sends rain upon the earth.'" And she went and did as Elijah said. And she and he and her household ate for many days. The jar of flour was not spent, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the LORD that he spoke by Elijah.
You see, because she was faithful and used the little she had to make the bread – even though she was feeling very desperate at the time – God provided for her, just as he promised!! This is a beautiful picture of being faithful with the very little, and God will be faithful with a lot. He is faithful and He is MORE THAN ENOUGH for us. He is Jehovah Jirah, our great provider.
How do we become faithful in the very little? By asking God to show us what we have that we are able to use now to bring Glory to his name. Take for example Moses when God spoke to him in the burning bush. God said to Moses “What do you have in your hands?” and Moses answered “A staff” and God told him to throw on the ground and it turned into a serpent…
God showed Moses that what he had in his hands right then and there could be used to speak powerfully to Pharaoh. And Moses then had to take the little he had and be faithful and know that God would come through for him – which he did, in a BIG way!
You see out God is so faithful, faithfulness is part of His character – He can never be unfaithful. So ask God to show you what you have in your hands today to bring glory to Him – and He, being faithful will show you. I know you will be surprised, and then when he has shown you, put it to use faithfully because He will be faithful in the big things when you are faithful in the very little things.
{Added later: - My mom is so clever and she knows me SO well. She came up with the perfect name for me!! it is (Trumpets and fanfare) Spookie the Warrior!!! So, there you go. You can all still call me Spookie - or whatever you want to call me - LOL. Thank mommy Darlin, you are so clever!!}

FOLLOWING A NEW PATH
Did you notice the changes?? Thought you were on the wrong blog did you - he he!!
I have decided to make a few changes. See when I started blogging it was pretty much pointless and had no "stuff" to it. But as I have been bloggin along I have felt a stirring in my heart that there could be and should be so much more to blogging for me. I felt the Lord really encouraging me to reveal my heart more and write about what I learn each day from Him and through Him. And to share about things He has taught me over time. And in doing so I could maybe help somebody else who is or has maybe been struggling with something I have already been through. I have always had a heart for evangelism and ministry - and I have definitely been going that direction more, lately.
One thing I was wanting to change too was my name. I am still Spookie - but I would like to change it to something else. So I thought I would ask you guys to help me come up with a new name. I cannot think of anything....
When you think of me - what's the first "word" or "picture" that pops into your head? Put in a comment and I will pick one for myself.
Waddayathink??

2,996: A Tribute to the Victims of 9/11
I will never forget that day in 2001, September 11. It was around 3:15pm and I was in my office working. My radio was on as it always is and there was a sudden “interruption” in the program to bring an urgent and disturbing news report that the twin towers had been hit by a plane. And not long after that the second plane hit. I was shocked and scared and speechless all at the same time. I ran out into the passage and asked if anyone else had heard what had happened and before long the whole building was buzzing with the news.
I live in South Africa, and I cried as I watched the horror unfolding before me on the tv. My heart broke for all those people who were in the planes and the towers. I felt so useless and helpless and I wished I could do something for someone – anything… the images of that day will forever be imprinted on my memory. And although I could never do anything then for those people I have an opportunity to do something now. 2996 has got a website where you can sign up to pay tribute to the victims from that day.
And today I am remembering Nasima H. Simjee, age 38, a resident of New York NY who died in the World Trade Center.
May the world NEVER forget the people who died that terrible day.

ANTICI ---- PATION!
My excitement is growing with each day! I don’t know if you all remember that I said I was going on an LTT (Leadership Training Time) with my church at the end of September. Well, that time is drawing near!! And I am so excited. I will be away from the 22nd of September to the 29th. I have NEVER been away from home for that long on my own and I know I will miss Happy and the kids while I am away, yet I can barely contain my excitement.
I will be part of the worship team too as a member of the choir. And I think that is what has me more excited than anything else. And also knowing that this will be an opportunity to build and develop new relationships with new people and Elders and also to connect with dear old friends who I haven’t seen in a while.
Most of the people from my church is going, so there will at least be some of my own family members there too.
I cannot wait to learn more, to grow more and to have knowledge that I can apply to my life and my family’s life too. There will be over 4000 people there – and I cannot wait to see a place filled with that many people all worshipping one God. I am counting the sleeps and from today it is only 14!! Can you feel my excitement?? Can you??

KING OF GLORY
Who is this King of glory, that pursues me with His love?
And haunts me with each hearing of His softly spoken words.
My conscience a reminder of forgiveness that I need.
Who is this King of glory who offers it to me?
Who is this King of angels? Oh blessed Prince of Peace.
Revealing things of heaven and all it’s mysteries.
My spirit’s ever longing for His grace in which to stand.
Who is this King of glory? Son of God and Son of man.
His name is Jesus.
Precious Jesus.
The Lord almighty.
King of my heart
King of glory
This song was on the radio just now – and they only played a little portion of it cause they were busy with a show, but it cut me so deep this morning that it left me in tears. It brought me to my knees and opened my eyes. Just the first line is enough to get me blubbering ALL over again…”this King of glory that pursues me [US] with His love…” A King! Of Glory! Pursuing me?? Why? Why would He even be even a teeny weeny bit interested in me? I am moody, snappy, irritable, proud, I am not worthy of a Glorious Kings Love. Yet he is always pursuing, relentlessly pursuing….
And the second line! I am sure we have all experienced that “haunting” feeling – specially when we go astray. We can always hear Him gently, softly and lovingly calling us back. And then the third line. May I NEVER forget that I need His forgiveness. May I never get too proud to get on my knees and ask for His forgiveness and may I NEVER forget the sacrifice on the cross, the absolute epitome of forgiveness.
Then the third line in the second verse. Oh I know that longing. And I have felt the wonder of standing in His glory and in His presence. And I felt it again this morning when He spoke to me through this song. He was reminding me that He loves me and that I need Him. Sometimes I get so caught up in the things happening around me and I get emotional (I am a woman afterall) and upset and I begin to snap at those around me - and all because of something so small and silly that happened at home or at work, not even something important or life changing!! And I start to allow my flesh to take over. And that is when God sends me a little love note, like this song just to ground me in Him again and He says "Hey! Remember Me? I love you. I died for you. Now stop your silly behaviour, take control of your flesh and let My Spirit work in you again."
And it is in those moments that I find myself on my knees at His feet where all the troubles in the world cannot reach me.
Who is this King of Glory? He is my Father, my Abba, my Daddy, My Lord!!
How blessed and fortunate are we to have such a loving, faithful Father. A KING, not just sommer anybody! And one who loves us so much. He is the King of my heart, He is precious Jesus. And I love Him very much.

PREJUDICED CONCLUSIONS...
Good morning bloggyville!! I am feeling much better now thank you. High on paint fumes - which is probably why - but none the less, feeling better.
I have been thinking alot lately about prejudism and drawing our own conclusions of other people. And I cannot tell you how often I have caught myself looking at someone in a shop or a parking lot and judging them. Like last night for instance we were driving to gym and a young couple was taking their little girl for a walk and she was running way ahead of them and I immediately thought to myself "I would never allow my child to run so far ahead of me. Look at how busy this road is, can't they keep her closer so she'll be safer?" And before I knew it I was judging them, even though it had absolutely nothing to do with me. This morning I was listening again to a song (which I will share with you in a moment) and it struck me so hard that we are all created in God's image - and equal, and that we are not here to judge each other, but to love each other. What and who gives us the right to assume we are better than somebody else just because of the clothes we wear or the ideas we have. Somebody who lives on the street is not loved any less by God, nor am I loved more because of where I live!
Somebody with an addiction problem is not loved less by God because of that. And I am not loved more because I don't have that problem. We don't know the history or the life story of strangers we meet - yet we are so drawn by our own conclusions of them that we immediately judge them and assume they are something they are not. Can you see what I am saying.
This song also struck me because I tend to have a very high opinion of myself. And I would often think to myself that had I perhaps lived in the time of Jesus - I would have known who He was and I would never have doubted Him! How can I be so sure? I can say that so easily now, because of what I have learned - yet I was brought back down to earth when I realised that I might not have known or believed who and what He was. I may have been one of those who dismissed Him as a madman. I may have been as proud as I am now and so sure of myself that I would have been blind to the truth.
I suddenly realised that I need to rethink everythng in my life! The way I see other people, the way I see myself and the way I treat strangers that I may come into contact with throughout the day.
I no longer have such a high opinion of myself - and I am working on it everyday so that I never get to that self inflated stature that I was before. And now I try very hard to love (The biblical Agape love) everyone that I come into contact with, withut judging them or laughing at them cause of what they may be wearing or because how they speak or their religion or whatever else it may be. I try very hard to no longer judge people. I want to leave a lasting Jesus Impression on people I meet everywhere everyday. And I want to be real, genuine and true.
WIDE-EYED (by Nicole Nordeman)
Well I met him on a sidewalk
He was preaching to a mailbox
Down on 16th Ave.
And he told me he was Jesus
Sent from Jupiter to free us,
With a bottle of tequila and one shoe.
He raged about repentance .
He finished every sentence
With a promise that the end was close at hand.
I didn't even try to understand.
He left me wide-eyed
And disbelieving, disillusioned.
I was tongue tied
Drawn by my conclusions
And so I turned and walked away
And laughed at what he had to say
And casually dismissed him as a fraud
I forgot he was created in the image of my God
Well I met her in a book store
She was browsing on the first floor
Through a yoga magazine.
And she told me in her past life
She'd been some plantation slave's wife
And she had to figure out what that might mean.
She believes the healing powers of her crytals
Can bring balance and new purpose to her life
Sounds nice....
She left me wide-eyed
And disbelieving, disillusioned.
I was tongue tied
Drawn by my conclusions
And so I turned and walked away
And laughed at what she had to say
And casually dismissed her as a fraud
I forgot she was created in the image of my God
Not so long ago
A man from Galilee
Fed thousands with His bread
And His theology
And the truth He spoke
Quickly became the joke
Of educated, self inflated pharisees like me
They were wide-eyed
And disbelieving, disillusioned.
They were tongue tied
Drawn by their conclusions
Would I have turned and walked away
And laughed at what He had to say?
And casually dismissed Him as a fraud
Unaware that I was staring at the image of my God...
I guess the point I am trying to make is that everyone we meet should be treated with almost as much respect and love as we would treat God if He was to walk into our shop or home or simply down the street. For as the Bible says - "whatever you have done to the least of the [people] you have done it unto me."
God bless you all, I shall be back soon!!
MUA! MUA!

RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE
This week has been so crazy!! I don’t know where to begin…
As you all know I have taken on more than double my usual load of work and not only that but all the extra files and cupboards from the office of the lady who resigned. I have been moving cupboards and files and stationary around for the last two days. I have now got a printer in my office, as well as a scanner – which I am grateful for…. But none of it is working yet!!! Which means I cannot work yet. My computers “brain” is standing on the floor and the printer with all its cables is just standing on my desk and the scanner is still in another office. I am so rushed and busy at work that I COMPLETELY forgot about my Donovan’s open day at his new primary school. And I was SO looking forward to going to that. My office looks like a bomb hit it at the moment and I have so much work to do and documents to make for new products that the factory has to start making and I cannot get started on any of it!!!
The guy who is supposed to be helping me install everything keeps promising to be here and I never see him. This morning at around 8:00 he said he would see me in 30 minutes. It is now 11:48 and I still have not seen him.
I am running out of patience and I am running out of space and I am running out of time. My last reserves are being used up and I am now leaning very heavily on the Lord for sustenance. If I don’t then I am going to start biting people’s heads off and I will very quickly climb down the “installer” man’s throat. I realize he is busy with all the activity happening here at the moment, and I know he feels bad that he has not gotten to me yet – yet I feel so powerless to get anyone to help me and get me settled so that I can carry on with my work!!
I don’t want to be a nag and I don’t want to be the crazy lady in the corner office who throws her toys when she doesn’t get her way – but my restraint is wearing thin. I asked him last week Monday to be sure he had time to come and help me this week and it is now Friday.
So this is why I haven’t posted for a while. Please keep me in your prayers that things will be sorted out here soon cause I can almost not keep my cool any longer…
And BTW – Madam is at home and still on crutches – but happy to be at home

The guy who is supposed to be helping me install everything keeps promising to be here and I never see him. This morning at around 8:00 he said he would see me in 30 minutes. It is now 11:48 and I still have not seen him.
I am running out of patience and I am running out of space and I am running out of time. My last reserves are being used up and I am now leaning very heavily on the Lord for sustenance. If I don’t then I am going to start biting people’s heads off and I will very quickly climb down the “installer” man’s throat. I realize he is busy with all the activity happening here at the moment, and I know he feels bad that he has not gotten to me yet – yet I feel so powerless to get anyone to help me and get me settled so that I can carry on with my work!!
I don’t want to be a nag and I don’t want to be the crazy lady in the corner office who throws her toys when she doesn’t get her way – but my restraint is wearing thin. I asked him last week Monday to be sure he had time to come and help me this week and it is now Friday.
So this is why I haven’t posted for a while. Please keep me in your prayers that things will be sorted out here soon cause I can almost not keep my cool any longer…
And BTW – Madam is at home and still on crutches – but happy to be at home
