Waking up with a smile for the 1st time since losing most amazing husband ever.

God truly are still good.

His goodness sometimes become real through good people reaching out.

So yesterday, was a good day. Feels a little bit like how things used to be.

I am deeply thankful for my daughter's friends being such an amazing support to both my children. For they're parents, devine intervention to have been working 10 minutes from where we live and only people in 5 months to have visited us so far. Very special 1st braai done and dusted one Sunday after church and last night 1st dinner, with them.

And then my 11 year old son started cleaning up the kitchen all by himself, and we went sleeping with clean kitchen, on the very 1st night that our house assistant are sleeping over in beautiful caravan, temporary accommodation.

And typically like his dad, he check on everything during the day and even made coffee for our guests after dinner last night.

Anyway, things are kind of falling in place. It is more complicated to get a blog than I thought.

I am frustrated that certain things take so long to fall in place, as winter is upon us.

But I tried my best to get ready for 1st winter without our superhero in this place. Slow progress, but all in good faith always that God will provide and protect.

Always aligned with God!

My Pastor’s wife, especially chosen by God for me!

Perfect match!

Love you Louise K! Appreciate you and miss you!

Throwing my toys out of the cot this morning!

Trying to be super single parent.

2nd term back in to school and all the reasons WHY God nudged us specifically into homeschooling, screams out!!

But I have to let my daughter make her own decisions.

Love how God speaks even through our home cell, Connect too, with Pieter and Lindi.

So all I can do this morning, after near 20 months of trying to get in routine again, is take up authority in Jesus and pray for miracles for everyone so desperately in need of it.

May we all find balance! And soon too.

God first!

Then husband and wife. Then children.

Let Go and let God.

Old saying, but so valid and true!

Such a privilege to celebrate my friend’s birthday with her and her beautiful family.

After very emotional Saturday morning, God really blessed me through this angel friend of mine.

Her niece’s husband, are connected to my family in 3 ways. One is it’s my daughter’s best childhood friend’s uncle.

However, during the evening he asked me if I can make chicken pie....? I can’t and thought what a weird question, but then he shared something priceless.

He said your mother made the most delicious chicken pie. And he shared how my Mom used to make food for 200 people at the stock car events.

At the end of the evening, I recalled something from our children, when they we’re little and shared with them my late husband’s reaction.

Then I had the privilege of another priceless memory, as I heard a story from when my husband was little and in hostel.

I can’t wait to share it with my mother-in-law.

My amazing friend and her husband really make us feel like family, and by the grace of God I feel supernaturally blessed through them.

After relaxing evening, while I wanted to take a Sunday afternoon nap, they spared no trouble to give the kids a good and fun time.

Nothing is ever to much trouble for them! You never ever hear them complain of talk bad.

When you leave they’re house, you have forgotten all your problems and feel like you can move mountains.

After hearing in church Sunday morning something:

By your friend’s you will be known.

What a privilege to have friends like these!

A lot of people just disappeared. Maybe we also pushed people away to avoid memories.

It is not easy to be a widow, but then again, it is not even easy these days to be married. Life is hectic.

I don’t grant it for anyone to every become a widow or widower. Everyone's journey is different.

Sharing is caring. I find myself wanting to share our story, preceded by my husband also being a fatherless child, raised by my extra-ordinary mother-in-law as widow. Under extreme difficult circumstances.

Widows have they’re pride. It is not easy to accept help.

Coming up to 5 years since my husband past away, I am tired, and I have made many mistakes. I have wronged my children and they have wronged me.

In our hurt, we keep on hurting each other and other people who want to help us.

MY ONLY COMFORT I CAN ONLY PUT IN GOD!
