Choose Hope

29 August 2021

We had our first break in on the farm since my husband passed away 30 August 2017.

This KIC fridge with interesting history, is among all the appliances that has been stolen out of our staff accommodation.

After two very depressing months, I woke up Monday excited to clean up some more memories before Monday 30 August, on my husband’s 4th death anniversary. With the hope that the 5th year without him, might be easier.

So this past week reminded me, of how we can plan, but God is ultimately in control. And even though I am cutted about the theft of appliances that I am not insured for, the sentimal value of those items, are irreplaceable.

However, this is my believe… When something bad happen:

My God WILL let it work out for the best.

So this event are pushing us closer to a nearing crossroad, to decide about our farmhouse turned guestshouse stading empty since last year March, except for one booking.

We LOVE our house in town, but physically and financially, it is a heavy burden to maintain two houses.

We are are still experiencing miracles. And many adversaries too. Not always smooth sails, but we have incredible much more to be thankful for, than we often realize.

The void Bolla left, will never be filled.

We miss him more and more!

Well, the next day after that break in, I got a call to enquire about the two caravans we had for our staff, that by then reduced from 4 to 2, and after checking, thinking and enquiring, within half a day, I let them go, bartering it as down payment on much needed borehole on this 5th generation, little farm, that never had developed water and with greatest of struggles sometimes, dependent on a fountain and rain water in tanks.

Definitely not fun for a women and children alone to handel, without my staff.

A year later, midst of renovations, our dear house assistant of 6 years, passed away suddenly and a month later, our last remaining farrm crew member just stayed away, never heard from him again!

However, God send angels and I can not believe I made it so far without then, however, now it’s getting to much and I just moved into the staff accommodation, I so lovingly build for my house assistant, while being forced to rent our our house in town and temporarily the guestshouse for 4 months, bartering for the remainder of very expensive borehole, that doesn’t give that much water.

IT IS TOUGH NOW!!!!

I am thankful for so many things, however, with all my heart I wish this farm could have been closer to civilization and my life could have been so much simpler.

I just want to have a routine and do Herbalife full time. However, we really do have a lot of HOPE still and God has set us up beautifully in the good and bad things. To Him alone I give all the glory.

At the moment I am to tired and to emotional, to think and hear the Holy Spirit clearly, however, I choose to cling to God more tightly than ever before.

This too shall pass!

My year ended with bitter sweet event, right after the funeral of a giant of a man, and I got a message from God:

“Choose HOPE!”

So that is what I am choosing now!

To believe and hope for things to get more easy again, however I am loving this messy bits of life too and super thankful to go strong through it, thanks to Brain Neuro-Coaching.

My heart goes out to our friend who passed away’s family, who had to let go of everything within in one month, after his death.

Maybe there is a lot of grace in that, as for me, God has grace with me to very gradually letting go.

Wherever you are and in whatever situation you are in, may you also CHOOSE HOPE!

Love,

Daisy
