What a last 14 days

The last 2 weeks have been good. The challenge of one car is still there but I must admit I think I am starting to enjoy the chauffer driven lifestyle as Rob's drops me off and picks me up from work. And Rob's is alot more economical on petrol which is especially helpful with the R10 per liter mark being reached.
 
Holiday club was an absolute blessing to Rob's and I saw her excited, motivated and absoluting thriving on her involvement there. I realised that working with young kids is an absolute passion for Rob's and something she needs to pursue further.
 
This last weekend saw us having not one but yes two weddings on the same day within 6km of one another. Man we felt like we were in the scene for the wedding crashers. It was however two very awesome weddings and we wish both couples namely Jana & Nico and Marna & Martin, all the best as they start the next exciting chapters in their lives as married couples. May their love for one another grow from strength to strength and may it blossom as they grow closer to the Lord.
 
We also heard the Scott & Lia and the two awesome little ones will be returning to the states (no not the Free States) in 6 weeks times. They have really become part of our church, cell and lives over the 13 months they have been here. This brings closure to there time here in SA and we really wish them well with their planning to return home and we will miss them. At least they can say that they made a baby in afrrica, something not many Americans can say.
 
anyways, all good and so we keep on bouncing, sometimes backwards but mostly forwards.

Book Review Corner

Holy Discontent - Bill Hybels

The author challenges us to say what is our / my Holy Discontent. What is that thing that you just feel I must do something about, at whatever the cost! He uses the example of a Mother Theresa in India, a Martin Luther King who said I cant stand for racism and inequality any more.

What did I take from this book? Well what is my Holy Discontent? What is that thing that drives me deep to the core and at whatever cost I must do!
