Departure for South Africa

Hello my friends, 

I am sitting here with alot of mixed emotions tonight. Excitement, sadness, fear, uncertainty .... list goes on.  Then I actually feel ashamed for asking God for help, and then not having the faith to trust in Him.  (We do that alot right?)

 Something I read earlier ' Because the Holy Spirit knows you better than you know yourself, he'll give you exactly what you need to make this change. He's infinitely patient, so he'll let you test this secret—trusting in the Lord—in little baby steps. He'll catch you if you stumble. He'll rejoice with you when you succeed.'

This, did give  me a sense of calm.  EVERYTHING will be okay! 

Most of you know that I will be joining the working force again very soon.  One season coming to an end, another beginning.  I am going back to SA to kick start my career as Personal Trainer.  Also intending more studies, as soon as I am settled.  

Lucky for me I am a very, very blessed little girl with a AMAZING support system of friends and family.  

As you can imagine, I have been getting alot of questions.  So... yes, this was a hard decision and yes I did think about it long enough.  Sometimes you have to make hard decisions in life to progress in other areas.  

I am excited about my new adventure and hope to make a big success in the fitness field. 

All my bags are pack, busy prepping meals for the flight.  I am actually testing a new recipe.  Will let you have it if it works out :) .. smelling really good! 

I have to get up at 4h00 tomorrow morning.. uuuuuh... too early! ...and I hate day flights also.  They tend to go by so slow? 

Next blog from SA! 

Here is a little something to read I found to be true ------ 

“Perfectly Imperfect

We have all heard that no two snowflakes are alike. Each snowflake takes the perfect form for the maximum efficiency and effectiveness for its journey. And while the universal force of gravity gives them a shared destination, the expansive space in the air gives each snowflake the opportunity to take their own path. They are on the same journey, but each takes a different path.
Along this gravity-driven journey, some snowflakes collide and damage each other, some collide and join together, some are influenced by wind... there are so many transitions and changes that take place along the journey of the snowflake. But, no matter what the transition, the snowflake always finds itself perfectly shaped for its journey. 
I find parallels in nature to be a beautiful reflection of grand orchestration. One of these parallels is of snowflakes and us. We, too, are all headed in the same direction. We are being driven by a universal force to the same destination. We are all individuals taking different journeys and along our journey, we sometimes bump into each other, we cross paths, we become altered... we take different physical forms. But at all times we too are 100% perfectly imperfect. At every given moment we are absolutely perfect for what is required for our journey. I’m not perfect for your journey and you’re not perfect for my journey, but I’m perfect for my journey and you’re perfect for your journey. We’re heading to the same place, we’re taking different routes, but we’re both exactly perfect the way we are. 
Think of what understanding this great orchestration could mean for relationships. Imagine interacting with others knowing that they too each share this parallel with the snowflake. Like you, they are headed to the same place and no matter what they may appear like to you, they have taken the perfect form for their journey. How strong our relationships would be if we could see and respect that we are all perfectly imperfect for our journey.”
