Crime, Time and Sometimes

Hi all,
Even as I am writing this I am wondering how fast time flies and fast things change. You know those phrases…”In the olden
days…”. When filling up your car tank full of petrol only cost you 50c. You will be lucky now days if it costs you R200. Things have changed, prices have gone up, climates are either getting hotter or colder depending on where you are in the world.

People have changed. I don’t
actually know what to make of it all, I don’t know maybe I have just grown up and noticed how different things are.

Crime now is like a full time job for some people. Nobody is safe anymore. Sorry that this is so dark and gloomy but it is the truth.
Nothing is sacred to the people
who depend on crime to get on in life and make so money. So the question is…”What can we do…?” Pray and hope that things change that’s all we can do…
Anyway as I said time is rushing on and I have
loads and loads to do.

I’ll Write again soon….I promise!!!
Remember to have a good day and 2 behave yourselves.

PS Just some stuff for you…
SOMETIMES...We must be hurt in order to grow,We must fail in order to know,We must lose in order to gain.Some Lessons are learned best only through pain.

SOMETIMES...Our vision clears only after our eyes are washed with tears.We have to be broken, so we can be tender,We are sick so we can rest and think better on things more important thanwork or fun,We are taken for trip near death, so we can assess how we've run.
SOMETIMES...We have to suffer lack, so we can know God's provision,We have to feel another's pain, so we can have a sense of mission.So take heart, if you don't understand today,Instead of grumbling, ask God what He means to say,In order to learn you must endure, and learn to see the bigger picture.In order to grow, you must stand and look beyond the hurt,Trust in God's loving hand that takes what is Good, and gives what is Best,And on this blessed thought, rest your anxious heart with all the questions,God's hand only gives what his loving heart dictates,SOMETIMES...The Lord calms the storm,
SOMETIMES... He lets the storm rage... and calms His child.Better go through the storm
with Him,Than smooth waters without Him.
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they
were meant to be there...to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a
lesson or help figure
out whom you are or who you want to become. You
never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them, you know
that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
Someone Special

And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible,
painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without
overcoming those obstacles
you would never realize your potential,
strength, will power or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means
of luck. Illness, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer
stupidity all occur to test
limits of your soul.
Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved,
straight, flat road to nowhere, safe and comfortable but dull and
utterly pointless.

The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that
you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be
learned from. In fact they are probably the most poignant and important
ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive
them because they
have helped you learn about trust and the importance
of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because
they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and open
your heart and eyes to
little things. Make every day count. Appreciate
everything that you possibly can, for you may never experience it again.
Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and actually
listen. Let yourself fall in love,
break free and set your sights high.
Hold you head up because you have every right to.

Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if
you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in
you.
Create you own life and then go out and live it.
Share this with anyone whom you believe has made a difference in your
life!
"If you take your eyes off your goals, all you see is obstacles"

More Movies....

Hi all,

It is Monday once again, sun is shining with a breeze. Friday I watched “Batman begins” with Christian Bale and Katie Holmes. Saturday watched “Eye for an Eye” with Kiefer Sutherland, Sally Fields and Ed Harris. Saturday we were all boiling alive in the heat. WOW it was hot.
Thankfully Sunday was a bit cooler. Sunday
I watched “Stealth” with Jessica Biel, Jamie Foxx and Josh Lucas. Then watched “Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin, Diane Keaton and Kieran Culkin. Ja I know it’s a lot of movies for 1 weekend.
But it is not my fault if I love to watch movies. They were all very good movies. “Father of the bride” was a comedy and believe me it was extremely funny. A total family drama. “Stealth”, “Eye for an eye” and “Batman Begins” was complete action and motion with a little bit of romance along the way. Okay enough of movies.
Who of you remember “Echo Point” a soapie that used to come on TV about 8 to 10 years ago. Can you believe the guy who acted as “Zac” is actually Martin Henderson from “Torque”.
As for me, I am okay I guess no
real changes in my life. Just very hectic buzy. 26 days to my birthday and then I will be 23. Every year people ask me if I feel any different in since I was probably 16 or so I have always answered no I don’t feel any different maybe this year though will different for me, I dunno but I will let u know. Do u guys ever feel different on your birthdays? Like you have aged another year or that you feel more wise lol :P.

Anyway it’s time for me to go back to work.
I’ll Write again soon….I promise!!!

Buzy, work and horses

Hey,

Friday at long last…it’s gonna be a hot summer I can tell. It is only the beginning of January and already this heat is intolerable.
It is quiet in my office not to say that it is not buzy, it is.
Every 1 here works in this quiet buzz u know. Except for the telephone constantly ringing and some staff talking.
Goin horse riding today I haven’t been since mid December and I miss the horses and the riding. It is so beautiful there cool, loads of trees, green grass, stables and of coz loads of horses.
Its like I want to be there all the time.
Cause the horses seem to get you more then humans do sometimes. Or maybe it is just that God gave them a special instinct so that they know how to act around us.
My mom and dad are still on leave until the 9th of January luck for them. I read “The Fireman” by Stephen Leather, which is good kept me in suspense all the way til the last page.
Watched “Torque” with Martin Henderson, Ice Cube and Jay Hernandez. It was action all the way, fast moves and even faster mouths. Very cool.
Did you like the fireworks, I thought they were absolutely stunning! Brilliant colours, shapes and brightness.
Anyway I got loads and loads to do b4 I go home today some must go but…
I’ll Write again soon….I promise!!!

Sabie, Sight seeing and mist

Hey,

I am back now from Sabie. It was lovely there. Rained a lot though which is kinda hectic if you are in a tent.
After Christmas day went all the way to Ficksberg (OFS-SA) to go and see my uncle, stayed the day and then we drove all the way to Sabie (NE Transvaal – SA).
Wasn’t able to put up the tent straight away because we got there so late so we had to sleep in the car until 5am…was very uncomfortable believe me. Then we put the tent up and slept a little b4 going to sight see.
We did a lot of sight seeing:-
Nelspruit, White River, Hazyview, God’s Window, Saldwana Caves and Dinosaur Park, Ermelo, Mac – Mac Falls & Pools, Lydenberg, Ficksberg (OFS), Kruger National Park and Sabie of course.
At Merry Pebbles (
Campsite-@Sabie) there was lovely heated pools, a waterfall and a resturant.
It was very interesting and hugely exciting. There were huge amounts of forests and mist as well
as mountain scenery. At the kruger we saw Elephants, bucks, Kudu, Giraffes, Rhino and turtles. While we were in Nelspruit we saw the movie “Rumour has it…” with Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Costner and Shirley Maclaine. The movie was okay and very funny, all about rumours and family secrets.

Chat later
