As I was meditating, God took me back to 1986. I was eighteen years old, sitting in a tree, calling my dad to bring me a chair because I got into the tree but I couldn't get down. I loved climbing trees and then sit on the branch, day dreaming. Ha-ha! He brought me a chair, helped me to get down and said: "Don't you think it's time to stop climbing trees? It's time to become a lady. If you keep on climbing trees, you will never get a husband". Ha-ha! The memory, made me ask: "Why did I ever stop climbing trees?   I loved climbing trees, sitting inside the tree, being one with the tree." Ha-ha! God said: "The right man would have found you inside the tree, between the leaves and he would have got into the tree himself, sitting next to you on the branch because he would have the desire to view the world from your point of view. You see my darling, a woman must be so wallowed in Me, that in order for man to find woman, man must ...

I was caught up in the Spirit and God took me back to a place in my past. Lately, He has taken me there several times, showing me, revealing things to me, teaching me. I saw a much familiar scene playing off right in front of my eyes.   I was in the scene, but this time I was watching it standing on the outside, looking at my own life. The scene left me with a groaning inside me, a deep inarticulate sound conveying pain, despair, remorse … If only … If only I can turn back the clock. If only I can have the opportunity again, I would have done things so differently. I would have been wiser, responded differently to the beautiful love God put right in front of me. If only I could have another chance, to respond to love again. I would have loved deeply. I would not turn my cheek and push away. I would not say yes to the things this world offered that seem so completely empty now. I would have been whole and not broken, withou...

I have been feeling it for a while now – a sense of “change is coming”.   It’s like a gentle hovering inside me – something new is getting born. I will nurture it and let it grow.   I will not let anyone take it away from me. I can feel it down my very core. I’m going places. It’s my time. Enough of all this mountain climbing; It’s time to move the mountains. Though I have been experiencing every kind of pressure, I was not crushed.   At times I didn’t know what to do, but quitting was never an option. I was standing on a mountain top when God told me to look back.   He showed me the road I have been travelling and said: “You do realize that to have a new life, you have to give up the old life”. I answered:   “I trust You Lord.   But when will this happen?” He said:   “At the right time, I the Lord will make it happen quickly”. (Isaiah 60:22 The Passion Translation). “You see, they recognized the ano...

I was standing on a mountain top, looking back at my life, the road I have traveled and He was standing with me. I turned to Him, and said:   “If I ever have to choose again, I will choose You”. If I have to choose between You and saving my marriage, 15 years ago, I would choose You. If I have to choose between You and all the riches in this world, I would choose You. If I have to choose between You and fame, I would choose You. If I have to choose between You and building my own kingdom, I would choose You. If I have to choose between You and being married, I would choose You. I will choose You over and over and over again.  I choose You. There is just nothing in this world that compare to You. You are in every breath that I take. You are no longer on my mind, You became my mind. You are in my blood, pumping through my veins.   You are in every single cell in my body.   You are my DNA. Nothing compares ...

It is “that time of the year” again; December holiday season.   Every year, after every December school holiday season, I say to myself:    “You made it! Next year will be easier”. Have you ever been lonely?   Have you ever been so lonely that it almost feels like something is ripping and eating you from the inside? Being a single mother for two sons I know many lonely December holidays.   I spend many school holidays and Christmas days, all by myself.   Not only did my sons spend every second December school holiday and Christmas with their dad, but there were also many times, when they were supposed to spend their holiday and Christmas with me, but I just never had the heart to say “No”, when they got the opportunity to go on a “all expenses paid holiday” with their friends, over the holiday/Christmas season. Yup!   This is only one of the many sad wonders of single parenthood. Paul says:   “Though we experience ever...

Introduction Every now and then, Love will come like a flood and completely sweep me off my feet. It happens often; God’s love.   I might not even be much “God conscious” at that moment.   I might be busy, just carrying on with my everyday life.   Sometimes it will happen while standing in the shower.   When I am in the shower, I will simply put my hands on the tiled shower wall and enjoy His presence while the warm water is running down my back and whisper:   “I love You too.   Thank You for loving me in such an incredible way”.    Sometimes it will happen when washing dishes.   But this morning I was simply brushing my teeth and again it came like a flood.   He swept me completely off my feet.   Oh how I love how He romance me.   It is always so unexpected.   He never waits for “the right time”.   God is not in time.   When I am in need of intimacy with Him, He never gives me a cold shoulder. ...

The Story of my life I was born in Pretoria and grew up in the Dutch Reformed Church.   I committed my life to God during an alter call at Hatfield Christian church in 1982.   I am a qualified beauty therapist and had my own beauty salon when in 2003 I received a calling to ministry.   This was such a clear voice that there was not even a moment of doubt in my heart that this was a calling from God and I immediately answered the call.   I was awakened by an audible voice, three times during the night:   “Tend my sheep” (John 21:15-17).   God spoke to me to receive the water baptism.   The same night I was baptized with water I was also filled with the Holy Spirit and started speaking/praying in tongues.   One week later my husband of 17 years left.   I left the Dutch Reformed Church – always knowing/believing there has to be more. Suddenly I was a single mother for 8 and 10 year old boys.   In 2010 I received an invitat...
