My life as a mum

It 's Friday again and that means that it's time for another Five minute Friday post.

Today we are writing about : Present


Go

I love presents. Apparently, receiving gifts is one of the 5 love languages and I must say that what I love about it is that it makes you feel special, loved.  So I guess I can agree that it is a love language. It’s nice and loving that someone thought about you and wanted to give you something. In that way they show that they care about you, appreciate you, that you mean something to them.


It makes me think about the presents that God gives. The God Who loves us so much that He gave His only Son to us , to die on the Cross for us, so that we can be saved and live eternally (go to heaven) .  A God Who is love and gave us the gift of life together with a  plan that we are supposed to follow if we want to be truly happy.  Today as we live our lives let us remember Him Who loves us so much, Who gives so freely of all that we need.  Let us honor Him with ou…

It's five minute Friday again. We are writing about ' In Between'.



Go

Today it’s the last school day and it is the last day that you will be attending the small playschool where you started last year. I put you on a special outfit with your favourite character Hello Kitty and last night I blow dried your hair for the first time so your hair looks a bit different today. I gave one of your teachers our camera to make a few shots of your last day in the playschool. You no longer will be going to that big room with all the toys and the art work on the wall, the place you learned to love and are even asking to go to when it’s weekend. Now you’re growing up. You will be going to big school. But not yet, first there is the in between time, the time of holiday, the time of fun, the time in which you will continue to learn on a daily basis but in a different way.
Have a happy holiday time Yovannah! I love you very much and am very proud of you.

It's Five minute friday. And I'm joining Lisa-Jo Baker for another session of five minute writing.

 Today we are writing about ; Imagine



 Go

 I love having kids. I love how they can surprise you by using certain words or doing certain things of which you were not aware that they could say them or do them. I love how clever they are.
I love to take care of them and to see them grow in to the people they are supposed to be one day. Now they are little people, my little people. A wish fulfilled, a blessing from God and I can’t imagine how life would be without them.
I can’t imagine a life without tiny arms that wrap themselves around you and say ‘I love you mummy’, even though they are only two. I can’t imagine a house without toys , the buggy with dollies in the corridor, the little wooden bike in the living room, the forgotten stuffed animals behind the sofa.
Though I sometimes wish that it was easier, that they made less mess, I surely can’t imagine life without them.

 Stop

It’s Five minute Friday.
Today I decided to join Lisa- Jo Baker again, writing for five minutes without editing, just whatever comes up.

Today we are writing about: Song
Here it goes.
Go
Today is one of my favourite days of the week. Because today I get to go out and do something that I really love to do. I love singing. I loved it since I was a child and have been in a few choirs since. I also had the chance to sing solo parts now and then. But what I love most about Friday nights is that I get to sing for my Lord. I get to worship Him with all my heart and with all my might, with all that is in me. I get to meet Him in a way that only worship can do. I get to be in His presence and soak in it, allowing Him to heal me, to change me, to deliver me, to encourage me. It’s amazing how much a song can do. How a song can bring me into Gods presence, right before His thrown, how a song can change me and heal me when I sing it with all my heart to my loving King,. To worship Him. Because to…

Today, I'm joining the Five minute Friday club again at Lisa-Jo Baker

Join in, will you ?

Today we are writing about :Graceful.

This is what came out when I started typing on my laptop.

Graceful

Wouldn’t we all want to be called graceful? Yet, it’s the same word, we all wouldn’t describe ourselves with. Still , I somehow think when God created the woman out of the rib of Adam, what His thoughts about her would’ve been. All that He created was perfect in His eyes. So somehow I have the feeling that His thoughts about the woman would have been nothing less than graceful.
He made her with His own hands. She was created by a perfect God with a perfect plan. She was made perfect in Him, with all the potential that she could have. He made no mistakes. He knew what she would be capable to do, if only she would walk in His perfect plan for her life. If she would stay close to the God that created her and allow Him to lead her in all that she does.
He made her nothing less than gracefu…

It's five minute froday again. Here's another try. We're writing about beauty.

Go
She was born with beautiful skin, a beautiful creation by God. But she must’ve been two/three months old when her skin started to change. She cried and scratched her face. We put her tiny hands in socks. It was heart breaking to see her cry. Nothing we could do.
Now 6 years later, we’ve passed the nights of waking up crying and scratching. She has used so many creams that her skin has become thin because of it.
And lately her skin is getting worse. We’re considering to relocate so she can have better medical care.
Her skin might still be in poor health but her beauty inside will always remain and one day I’m sure God will give her a beautiful skin again because there is nothing that He cannot do !

Yesterday I talked to my mother on skype. She said that she was worried about Ixora but that we need to keep believing and yes we will.
Gods grace is sufficient. It’s all in His hands and …

It's been a while but today I decided to join The Gypsy Mama again, writing for five minutes without editing, just whatever comes up.

Today we're writing about ; Whole.

Here it goes.

Whole

Is a word which immediately makes me think of God as there is nothing and no one in the world that can make me whole the way He can.
He is my creator, He knows me deep within. He knows my flaws, my weaknesses and my strengths. He knows what to do to make me complete, to make me grow and excell above my own expectations.
By trusting Him and allowing Him to lead me always, I become that complete person, whom He has destined me to be.
I am apart of Him. He breathes His life in to me, moulding me each time to look more like Him. He is the gentle Friend, the Lover of my soul, the One who makes me whole.
He knows just what I need and will never stop to heal me, to deliver me, to nourish my soul.

Stop.

Would you like to join too ?

Today we're writing about :

When seasons change.

Thinking about this and writing for 5 minutes, this came out.


when seasons change something new begins.
No matter where we are in life, there's always a chance to start over again.
To be the person that we want to be, to start a new chapter in our lives.
We always get a chance to start over with God.
God Who with His loving arms is waiting for us to follow His perfect plan for our lives who makes room for our mistakes for the times that we choose our own path , our own plan and He is waiting for us to return with our hearts totally open and dedicated to Him to listen to hear what He wants to say.
What His plans are,. What 'His next' is...
Instead of our next.
He is faithful and will continue to guide us and promnpt us in to His perfect plan for out lives.
We gat the chance to miss the boat now and then but we through His grace get t…

It's Friday again so it's time for Five minute Friday from the Gypsy Mama. Five minutes writing without editing.

So I had another try. Today we're writing about 'Deep breath'

Here we go.


Deep breath,

when I look at all my three children how they seem happy and content at a certain moment in time while just a few moments ago they all seemed to be crying out for me at the same time. A deep breath ,knowing these moments -when all or just one cries and there's nothing that you can do about it right away because you're already taking care of another sibling who needs you - will always pass away in just a little while.

A deep breath, knowing that the Lord is with you and sees you and watches over you and your children.
A deep breath, knowing that they will be alright even if they have to wait a little while and you have to let them cry.

For God knows and sees.

Your every step and every breath ,

also every time you take a deep breath....

S…

So today Five minute Friday is on again and I'm going to make another attempt to write for five minutes about a subject without editing.



This week it's about

Motherhood should come with....

Go ...

A revelation that every woman is designed to become a mother. So even if we struggle or feel overwhelmed at times, we can rest in the assurance that God has created us with the ability to be the best mother that we can be for our children.
Every woman is created with just the right tools and ingredients that she needs in her job as a mum.
God makes no mistake and He knows that we are more than able to do our job right.
All we need to do is reach within us and we will find what we need : an extra portion of love, patience, flexiblity, strength, creativity and a sense of humour.
All of those things will get us through and we will find that little by little we have turned into the mother that He has planned (and designed) that we should be.

I did it. LOL But... by the grace of God…

I decided to join in the challenge of five minute friday by The Gypsy mama to write for five minutes about :


If I knew I could, I would......


do a miracle. I would instantly let the hair of my oldest daughter grow back on every bald spot.
But I know that our Lord aleady has started His healing process in her.
When my 6 year old was one year, she started to get a spot on her scalp where there was no hair.
Gradually her hair became less and less untill when she was three, she only had a tiny bit of hair in the middle of her head. She also had no eye lashes or eye brows.
The doctors couldn't find what was wrong with her. They couldn't confirm that it was alopecia.
They advised us to look for an alternative healing.
And being christians ofcourse we put our trust on Jesus Christ and He healed her.
Her eye lashes and eye brows are now back and there is hair at the back and we believe that He will complete His work.

Yeah, so this was only a try.It wasn;t easy at all. I didn'…
