Holding your universe

Sometimes you feel you have more power when your life is in your hands, handled by yourself, structured the way you think it should be. 

Life then comes around and shows you, you were never in control in the first place, it may turn your world upside down, cause confusion in your thoughts, but you then find the real meaning of why you exist and why you breathe. 

Holding your universe is not always your responsibility, you will have to make decisions and take chances, you will have to get hurt to become whole again, you will have to be nothing to become something. 

People may not always know your value but God does, He knows your hearts desires and has your life planned out before Him. 

Let Him hold your universe, do not take that struggle on your shoulders. Your universe, your life, your dreams that makes you who you are. 

Can i have your eyes?

What do you see when you look at me? What do you see when you look at her?

There are people in life that sees the real you, people that appreciate who you really are. Those are the people you cherish. When you look at someone what do you see? Someone fragile and hopeless or do you see the potential that is really there.

There are cracks in each person's life that does not define who they are, it makes their struggle so much more unique and significant.

Make sure the way you look at someone makes a difference and does not break a soul apart. Be there to validate and create a masterpiece.

'n Lewensaar vir mekaar

Ek het die voorreg gehad om hierdie gedig te lees op my skoonpa se troue. Soos ek dit lees besef ek dat elkeen van ons het 'n perfekte maat, ons lewe van mekaar se woorde en dade.

Baie van ons is al deur hartseer as dit by liefde kom maar ons kom weer op n plek wat jy besef wat liefde regtig is. Dit is om onvoorwaardelik iemand lief te he en te weet dat daardie persoon jou ken vir wie jy is en jou aanvaar net soos jy is.

Die lewe het aan baie al gekou en dit kan wees dat jy somtyds die lewe wil berou maar jou maat maak dit die moeite werd om die lewe te leef en aan te hou kleef aan die hoop vir iets beter en sterker.
Daardie persoon inspireer jou om beter te wees en harder te probeer.  Daardie persoon gee jou moed vir elke dag. Daardie persoon maak dat die lewe weer sin maak.

Miskien is daai persoon aan jou sy of miskien is daardie persoon slegs n droom. Eendag sal daardie droom 'n waarheid word. Eendag word jy iemand se lewensaar.

A scar that lasts forever

I have walked a life that left many scars.

Scars that shaped so much of who i am. These scars taught me to stand up on the inside and fight for who i am. These scars taught me to be bold. These scars taught me never to believe other people's negative or bad words about me. These scars taught me to look at myself in a different way, the way that my maker sees me.

I chose to use these scars to create my future. I used these scars to help others overcome circumstances that i had to overcome. I have always wanted to be someone who's life meant more than just being, i wanted to be someone that could make a difference, somehow.

My scars make me who i am, although i got them through pain and sadness, i learnt so much from them. I learned to be woman, a lady, a friend, a sister, a daughter, a wife, a mother.

My scars are me.........

Jaarringe

Wat jy al deur is in die lewe en wat nog gaan kom, gaan bou aan wie jy is en waarheen jy oppad is. Daar het dalk al soveel dinge gebeur wat veroorsaak dat die lyne op jou gesig "jou siel" so sigbaar is, jy dink dalk dit los merke maar daardie merke wys dat jy lewe en kan veg vir wat jy glo en vir wie jy is.

Daardie merke wys dat jy al opgestaan het vir jouself. Daardie merke wys dat jy nie stil gebly het nie maar jou standpunt gestel het. Al swoeg en sweet jy deur donker tye, die lig skyn weer!!!!

Jou storie wat geskryf word is uniek en dra by tot die lewe om eendag vir iemand te kan vertel hoe jy kon opstaan in jou situasie. Vrees vir wat kom hou ons somtyds weg van wie ons moet wees en waar ons wil gaan maar dit bly jou keuse of jy gaan toelaat dat vrees jou onder kry.

Jy het 'n storie om te vertel, die begin klink is dalk nie soos ander mense sin nie, die middel van jou storie is dalk seerder as ander of dalk nie dalk nie? Jy skryf jou storie, skryf dit met 'n uniekheid sodat jy eendag vir mense om jou 'n inspirasie kan wees!!!

Die wereld het jou storie nodig!!!! Moenie ophou skryf nie................

A Kings Love

A Love you can not describe in words.

A Love that took me from being ordinary to extraordinary in being who i am. A Love that never judged me for making mistakes. A Love that never criticized. A Love that made me feel special, always.

I got to know this love only when i opened my heart to it. When i felt distant this love stayed. When i felt angry this love stayed. When i felt discouraged this love stayed. When i felt alone this love stayed.

It was not always easy to accept this love when i was not deserving of it, but i got it anyway.
This King loved me enough to stick by my side, forever!!!!

Satisfaksie

Ons is almal mense wat hinker na 'n beter lewe, na beter optredes, na 'n beter verhouding, na beter kommunikasie, plein net na 'n beter lewe. Die lewe begin by ons.

Maak dit regtig saak wat ander dink van wie ons is nie? Maak dit saak dat jy anders is as ander? Maak dit saak dat jou opinie dalk sterker deur kom as 'n ander persoon sin?

Jy laat toe dat die lewe jou vorm. Jy laat toe dat besluite jou lewe in 'n rigting draai. Dit is jou keuse wat jy met jou lewe maak. Jy kan kies watter woorde uit jou mond uit kom. Jy kan kies wat jy van iemand anders praat.

Laat toe dat jou woorde lewe skep en liefde gee. Laat toe dat jou woorde mense laat spesiaal voel. Laat toe dat jou woorde mense bemoedig en sterk maak. Gee jou mond die satisfaksie om woorde te spreuk wat bou en nie breuk.

Jy word geskaaf elke dag. Jy word gevorm en blink gevryf. Laat jou siel genees deur nie die lewe te vrees. Jy is sterk en vol moed. Die lewe is jou hoed, dra hom met gemak.

Questions and Answers

I realized that life will give you both questions and answers. You decide what questions you answer and which one's you don't. Will you hide from certain questions or face them head on? Will you only answers those who make you feel comfortable or will you let those invading questions penetrate your thoughts and own up to what you need to do to change?

Will you answer truthfully? Will you answer with no regret? Will you answer no matter how the answer sounds? 

Giving answers are not always easy but giving answers reveals your character and your personality. Giving answers gives you the opportunity to grow. Giving answers gives you power to change.

Do you only want to ask questions or do you want to give answers? Will you let questions and answers shape you into becoming the person you should? 

Never stop asking and never stop answering.............reveal the real YOU!!!

WORDS CREATE FUTURE'S!!!!!

What silence creates

When i was younger and very immature silence was my biggest friend. I never spoke up and never gave my opinion on anything. Being wordless and without opinions made me dry up from inside. I wanted my voice to be heard but never knew how to make it heard. I wanted to be that real me i knew was in there but how?

I started walking this journey called life and accepted challenges and climbed several mountains, with that said i climbed the same mountains twice even three times. You would ask me why? My answer is simple i never embraced ME, and never gave myself a chance to develop into something unique.

I cried tears day in and day out, tears of sadness, loneliness and anger. I was angry at people and myself for living this life i am, and then i made decisions and career changes and suddenly my life started turning around, still experiencing challenges and mountains but now i had a purpose to climb and even cry.

I learned that tears are good, tears give me hope for a new day because things can only get better form here. I could not let silence define me as a person. Silence kills the dream inside you that you might be hanging onto for dear life. don't hang on to tight, don't suffocate your dream and your thoughts. Speak up and Speak out, make your voice known.  YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!

Jou stem is sterk

Ek dink vanoggend aan sekere vrouens wat veg vandag vir hulle lewe en hulle gesondheid.
Ek dra hierdie op aan daardie vrouens wat oggend in en oggend uit na die bekommernisse kyk van vandag en leef om more weer te sien.

Ek is trots om hierdie tipe vrouens te ken en te weet hulle kan staan en hulle stemme dik maak en vertel van hulle vrese en hulle pyn. Hulle kan lewe in hierdie moeilike tyd, maar soveel hoop gee vir mense daar buite wat hopeloos verdwyn. Hulle trane vloei daagliks en hulle arms moet omhoog gehou word want hulle is swak.

Hulle leer ons van vertroue en van rus, hulle leer ons om weer by God te berus. Hulle stel n voorbeeld deur hulle pyn en smart, dat ons kan opstaan en weer kan praat. Hulle gee ons weer n stem, hulle gee ons weer 'n rede. 

Vrou van hierdie geveg, ek eer jou vandag vir sterk wees en jou gemoed, dat jy nie moed opgee en nie ophou veg. Jou lewe het betekenis en jou lewe het glans jy kan weer jy wees hou vas aan Sy hand en moenie moed opgee nie, Hy ken jou!!!!

The Fragrance of a lady

What is the real definition of being a lady?

Do you allow people to give you that meaning or do you supply that meaning to yourself through God's eyes?

Are you strong and courageous? Are you weak and frail? Whatever you are currently does not define you. You can be everything you want to be and more. Your life is dependable on God's grace and His grace alone. Your beauty is not subject to what people say or do towards you. 

Peoples words can create chaos and confusion if you let it. You are special in your own unique way.

Your smile, Your face, Your elegance that is who you are. 

Being a lady is an honor and a privilege. Stand up for who you are and never let anyone talk down to you. Keep your chin up and start looking people in their eyes and take control of your confidence. 

Make sure you find your purpose and your anchor of hope!!

Reflections of truth

Going through a specific difficult time in my life i had numerous occasion where i was confronted with who i really am and what i am becoming. I had so many questions about life, myself and circumstances around me.
Sometimes i became scared of the reality of the life i was leading and went through situations with certain blinders on my eyes. I had to face harsh realities, like making certain decisions to change my situation and experiences.
I was hiding behind pride, knowledge and pretenses. By allowing myself to embrace change and the real me and growing in new challenges and situations i can start now to embrace my life, my meaning and my future.
Everyday is a new challenge and a new journey, but i know that for me to go ahead in life i have to take up all challenges and even questions and try to get the answers i need from the right source. 
Only by grace and love i can achieve my goals and be who i truly need to be.

Reflection of truth is something pure out of my heart about my journey so far.....
