About Me

I'm just a girl determined to live my life Intentionally!

WELCOME TO MY JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE!


Welcome to my newly revamped Blog. A lot has happened since I last blogged in June and it seems like such a long time ago.


I am a wife of one husband, and a mother of 5 kids, although they don't seem like kids, they are all taller than me and and range in age from 17 -26, four boy kinds and one girl kind. At times I make a huge effort to understand them and then I get exhausted and practise putting on make-up instead, I feel I get that right sometimes!! If you don't agree, I don't need to know, thanks anyway!


The kid in the picture on the sides, thats me, I felt it necessary to let you see yourself that I had the whole fashion thing happening when I was 8, even knew how to accessorise with the clip in my hair and the peg holding my cape on, was wooden, not some plastic junk!


I have just launched a new business that I am excited about called "THIS IS WHO I AM". So I will pop over every now and then and share something funny, wise, stupid, sad and hopefully inspiring.

I want to hear from you, drop me a line, and for those who have asked me to write about something in particular, I'm getting on to it!


Many times I have been asked to start blogging so I have finally taken the plunge. My blog is going to be about everyday life and sharing the journey with you, hopefully you will be encouraged and I will learn how to do life better.

I have a busy, fun, crazy life but don't know that I would swap it in a hurry for a quiet, boring life, although every now and then would be nice.


I will be adding interesting and funny photos along the way!

Looking forward to the journey.

I HAVE LEARNED THAT IF GOD HAS A PATH FOR ME AND I WANT MY OWN WAY, I WILL ONLY BE SETTLING FOR SECOND BEST.

I work tirelessly to work something out in my
own strength, (usually my future) knowing
that I have bitten off more than I can chew,
knowing that if I keep working tirelessly I
will only get exhausted but I still haven't
tried out Option J, K & L yet, its obviously
not time for me to reach out for some expert
help, I haven't quite hit that brick wall yet
that is certain to stop me in my tracks.

Ever feel like you get on this treadmill of
"if it's to be its up to me?" and just end up
exhausted and disillusioned?
I clearly remember a time where I thought
to myself that this treadmill is on a cycle
going nowhere and I'm not happy, am I?
I had to stop and take stock of what was
going on.

I knew that it clearly said in my bible
"I know the plans that I have for you,
plans to prosper you and not to harm
you,plans to give you a hope and a future"
and yet I wasn't feeling that hopeful or
harmless, I was feeling trapped and
tired of things not working.

When I rested on verses like this one
in Jeremiah 29:11, and trusted God for
my future, I learned that all my striving
would only get me second best compared
to the future God has planned for me.
