Our Geeky Moms

It is such a pleasure to watch our mos in action.Seeing them sit on the laptops and typing away.These classes are really fun as we have good laughs together.Today Craig Ross is showing the moms how to use twitter to promote the a blog or business. First what will be required from the moms is that they blog a post and then use that post as a link on twitter.They seem very exited for the new things they will be learning today.Watch this space for our geeky moms.It is good to see th long way they have come.From not even knowing how to operate the internet on their mobiles to sitting in from of a laptop and blogging away.I salute these moms for stepping out and taking the leap of faith. Well dome moms and it is such a pleasure to be part of this class.You guys are a true blessing :-)

Thanksgiving

I will lift up my eyes to the hills from where does my help come? If it was'nt for the Lord where would I have been. This is a new day for me a day where I allow myself to live life to the full.I am wiser now I will not rush and be anxious for nothing. I always look out for people see to their needs and go the extra mile for them and thats good .It was in our devotions when one of our pastors had a word for the group at the centre.He spoke on thanks and thanksgiving and how we need to receive. There's sowing and reaping so you will get a harvest in due season if you bless you will be blessed. I could never be out there and think of myself, I gave of myself and of what I have.I now know how to receive always be thankful and thank God thank your family and friend. I have learnt to receive and allow others to love me and since Wednesday I have received two gifts. Give thanks with a grateful heart.

twitter and blog moms

we are a group of moms who are learning how to blog. I find it very exciting because they are things we were never exposed to. I'v learnt to go on facebook and twitter which I find very exciting because I can chat to my family and friends like one on one. Now the Mom2zero is where I love to blog about my family and grandchildren and friends. I have great fun with my grandkids, what we do during the holidays, and also the fun and games we have . Its also nice to be able to put the pictures with the story we are writing. Craig will be teaching us how to link our blog with twitter. Brent and Craig are great teachers.

our grandparents

today was the first day for our seniors feet after the long school holidays. early this morning I just became so excited to be there with all of them . I realised, when I started praying for my mom, that I needed to include all seniors because they are all very special people, who has been created by God for a time such as these, that we are still priveledged to be able to pamper them in this way. Some of them don't even get a foot massage from their own children. we as the children or grandchildren or ever greatgrandchildren need to take care of our senior parents, and not to neglect them. They are very special people, who needs to be loved, nurtured and pampered. Always make them feel special and loved, thats all they every want from us.

THE ONLY WAY

This endless road, today feels more gruelling than before not so much of a kneeless leg thats aching at it best because of an operation,five years ago,that was suppose to alleviate all agony and pain.but poverty and despair on peoples faces that were inneed of love and repair. This new day has barely passed, the eleventh hour and already signs of hopelessness could be found .A mom, dressed in but a gown, sits sleeping at her gate, oblivious of what the Saviour could bring.As I slowly approach,I purposely greet,wishing her blessings of God,s faithfullness and love.The immediate glow that touched her face,meant hope has been restored ,within that greet. I stopped and listened to hear her cry of hungerness, fatigue and how long its been, since last a meal has touched her lips, as all hope was gone. Remembering my prayer of a few hours before... ,asking God, to put those in need,this day ,a

My unplanned day

What to do? where to go?.how uncertain could one be, when such a day catches you in your stay.Its rather sunny outside,a beautiful day,to be enjoyed or maybe endured.So this gloominess thats engulfing, cant be outside but in me Cars are honking and a ponking, each driver I assume,celebrating, Madida,s Birthday it seems.Even the music seems enticeing, as pedestrains, with a hop in their step, make their way to the mall on shopping sprees instead.So here I am,washed,dressed and fed,.,what to do?where to go?The quietness, surrounding me,has a somewhat irritating tone to it. No cry.or goo from my grandson too, whose other ma has a birthday too.Is this the feeling of empty nest?Lets call another lonely soul, I think but the long engaged signal, merely leaves an envious tinge. What to do? where to go?..make

Back to work

It's back to work our programmes are starting again.The ladies came in whenever they had time on their hands.I think the ladies actually missed the Impact centre. I did not take time off because I want to take time off later in the year. Gail was very busy in the office, people just came for counselling, people need healing, people need the Lord!!!!!. My heart rejoices when I see a young lady leaving the centre with a smile on her face. People enter the centre down and out because of the pressures of life.I once was in their shoes with no hope but Jesus!!!! He turned my life around I feel good, safe and loved. I felt that I was just here on earth to be mocked, tortured, and stepped on.I hated everything about myself but Jesus!!!!!. I thought that I had no purpose that I was here to go through the motions. I was so wrong confused and looking down on myself. Then Jesus came into my heart He sits on the throne of my heart. It was a few months after my twenty firfst birthday when I acc

i'm not fast, i'm slow

I have all four grandkids for the June holidays with me. It took a lot to occupy them because of the weather keeping them indoors. uno, snakes and ladders, dominoes and lots of others games, then they became secretaries with laptops and phones, in the lounge. I realised it was past lunch time, and I asked them don't they want to fast for the day, and the one of four answered "I'm not fast, i'm slow. children with their sense of humour. they so innocent, but I love them to bits

My 2 years with Christ

Image
On the 10 July 2009, I celebrated my 2 year anniversary with Christ. When I think back to the night I walked through the doors of the Impact Centre still intoxicated not having any expectations whatsoever, little did I know God had other plans for me. The previous day I tried to commit suicide, looking in the mirror telling myself over and over that I was ugly. I never told a soul, but while The Apostle Roger Petersen was praying for me he felt my pain and told me exactly what I felt and what I attempted. I remember thinking this man is Psychic how can he know so much because everything he said about me was true and I never told anybody. That night I accepted Jesus Christ as my saviour and now know that God is real. The past two years have been so great for me I have achieved so much and know there are greater things instore for me and I'm thankful to God for reuniting me with my family, he has set me free from my addiction and blessed me with a beautiful healthy baby girl,he has a

ANSWERED PRAYERS

Saturday evening, I realised that we CANNOT stop praying for our loved ones. Our husbands, wives, sons daughters, grandchildren ,nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. No matter how long you have been praying, DON'T STOP! We become impatient, think that God is taking too long in answering our prayers, then we want to give up. We cry bucket of tears because of our situations, but to no avail. Well....... Its NOT up to us, and not in our time. Only in GOD"S time will ALL our prayers be answered. If we think or look back at our problems or situations over the years, we can see how God has been answering prayers, maybe not the one you in now. So leave the problem to God, Don't stop PRAYING, cos HE WILL, not MAYBE, answer . A family member was watching tbn and he had a Holy Spirit Encounter with God. I believe God touched Him, He can't explain it, but I believe prayers are being answered. Drug addicts in our family are being save now that the f

Our seniors

Wow, what can I say. Last tuesday, the 30th June, we had our seniors sports day with the Athlone Seniors Clubs group in Stellenbosch. they won 5 gold medals, and we are very proud of their achievments. there was the dress up race which aunty gerty adams did. she was a very jovial person, full of fun and laughter. always ready with a smile and a big encouragement to everyone. then two days later she passed away in PnP in vangate mall of a heart attack. that was so sad and I could not believe that she has died when aunty mona phoned me the friday evening. it made me realise we need to live so near to God, but not only live near to God, but to also know him as our personal savior, accept Him in our lives, to have a personal relationship with Him. I am truly gonna miss her, and I felt so proud of all our seniors who attended her funeral today, all had their Impact Direct Ministries sweaters and tracksuits on when they sang in church. One can see that she was a well loved

changes

Why does such a simple,but so powerful a word, make or break the human race...CHANGE All the promises of good and bad, this CHANGE holds in, is phenomenal.So many sayingS, allows the speaker to give hope whether consoling themselves or others We want to CHANGE our birth image, like so many of the rich and famous, by seeking cosmetic surgery.Many a times, we hear those who dont serve the Lord, proclaim, that they will oneday CHANGE if only....

feeling the lost

Last week was very hectic it was the Provincial Golden Sports for senior citizens. Everybody was on a high because Stellenbosch is like out of Cape town" buite" for some of the seniors. The practices went well and everyone knew what to do,they even improved on their speed.30 July was the sport day on my way to the Impact centre I saw the senior standing at the Community centre that was 7am. The bus arrived at 8.30 am but not all of our seniors could board the bus, as I mention that our clubs is growing by the day.A minibus and two cars took the rest of the seniors through. Everyone received breakfast and lunch and a t-shirt in the colour of their district. I must say I have never seen such excellence our moms and dads ( Western Cape) are really fit and active. The Impact ring the stick team received medals they came in second so we are very made up with that. We are also sad because we lost one of our own moms Aunty Gertrude Adams. She was a fun loving person full of ener

THE UNKNOWN

Today the most astounding thoughts or shall I say the most revolting thoughts crossed my mind ie our future generation.Two evenings ago a few educators were so engrossed in a topic, which unknown to them, were very dear to my heart.They were unaware of the affect this subject had on me that I silently went in prayer, not realizing that they too served this great God. Priscilla, the more bolder of the three educators, were commenting about the future of our children in twenty or even less years.As they young teachers, in their thirties,my thoughts were...They young and why such a great concern for generations to come? Where was all this leading to?...Thalidomide babies...this word shooked me.Yes we heard what happened to those babies born between 1954 and 1974.Their moms,during pregnancy, were prescribed thalidomide, a drug, to alleviate morning sickness.Most of these babies were born deformed .Did the state take care of them as nothing was ever heard
today i updated my bio for the world to know who i am.and loaded a profile pic.i looked so foward to this session today.god bless the guys for their patience
today was awesome at mom. we are learning all about twitter and to us as moms this is a new learning experience. I find it very interesting, to think that young men who are rehabilitated drug addicts, teaching us these skills. They are healed by the blood of Jesus, and we love them to bits. they are offering up their time to teach us. I've also put my bio on so everyone can see who I am.

the morning

Like any other day woke up,prayed and made breakfast for the kids.Had many other plans.Welllll when I started to feel confused.I had a moment to reflect why the feeling overtook me all of a sudden.Next I had a bath,got dressed took my bag and left for the Impact centre.Not sorry I come,prepared the soup so people will have something wholesome to eat,and started the preparation for the ladies mom2.zero class.All I can say Iam not sorry that my day did not turn out the way I planned but it went the other way because this was where I was needed this morning THANK YOU GOD FOR THIS DAY.
