Stellenbosch

Yesterday I found some time to visit Jan marais nature reserve in stellenbosch. They have a labyrinth and I wanted to walk the labyrinth.  I did and sat for a few minutes to contemplate and think anout the things that are worring me, I parayed for thoae I am concened for and asked gid blessing on the project we have at uwc so that it can be completed. I am sure heavenly father will help us get this complete. I prayed for the wrench family and for beauty and her family.

I took some photos and admired the beauty of the gardens. As I walked around it occured to me that I might never walk that path again. I hope that I can one day visit there again but it might not happen.
Customer

3 june 2016

Whats going on in my life. What is on mind. Work, buisness, responsibility. Sore shoulder, ros. Des.. 1 june was my 18th anniversary at vacutec. how long will I still be there. There are lots of changes in my life. Home and church have had major changes. There have been changes at work to, they are on going. Am I adapting to the change?

The quote .. only change is constant comes to mind... I wonder who said that.

Last night was the last smb meeting,  just a service project and I'm done.

How to get  customers for the machine. ?. How to make money...and get out of the debt that is weighing me down. The debt is for the machine that sits there like a white elephant. Large expensive. I prayed about it. I thought it was the right thing to do. I thought it would work, but do far it has not, nothing I have trued has worked. What should I do. Was my choice about this wrong or am I not seeing the bigger picture.

Feelings...
This weekend I listened to some of conference. Some at home and some at the chapel. I had also listened to some in the week before. I listened to Pres. Monson's talk 4 times and read it once. It talks to the question I have: Where am I going, where is my life going? I feel like Alice at the cross road not sure what path to choose because I don't know where I want to go.



It has been said that the door of history turns on small hinges, and so do people’s lives. The choices we make determine our destiny. Choices By President Thomas S. Monson

The prophet Said: Our goal is to obtain celestial glory, and the choices we make will, in large part, determine whether or not we reach our goal.

I keep asking myself is this my goal and how do i get there. how do I break this goal up into small measurable goals.

I have made two commitments for this week to help me toward this goal. No series this week and no YOUtube other then conference or church.

Unlike Alice, we know where we want to go, and it does matter which way we go, for the path we follow in this life leads to our destination in the next life. Choices By President Thomas S. Monson

Although it is imperative that we choose wisely, there are times when we will make foolish choices. The gift of repentance, provided by our Savior, enables us to correct our course settings, that we might return to the path which will lead us to that celestial glory we seek.

May we maintain the courage to defy the consensus. May we ever choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.

As we contemplate the decisions we make in our lives each day—whether to make this choice or that choice—if we choose Christ, we will have made the correct choice.

Choices By President Thomas S. Monson

Japanese Garden in Durban

I have not blogged for ages. Is it because I have been busy, distracted or not had the desire to blog. So many good things vie for my attention.

The first week end of April Des and I went to Durban. We both had work there and I got a lift with him and decided to spend the weekend together. It is good to spend time together just the two of us especially since we both travel a lot and that will probably increase this year. One Sunday we went to the Japaneses garden. It was beautiful. I enjoyed the time we spent together. 

Driving Down We had an Audiobook of short stories. I slept while Des listened. The stories all had sad endings.

January has been a busy month

I have not made an entry in a long time. Life has been busy and full these past months. So much has happened.

What should I write about.
All that I have done
My thoughts
My hopes and dreams
My Questions

I think I will write about what is foremost on my mind today.

I have been exploring the topic of Sexuality within marriage. I have read several articles and visited some sites. Mormon and Christian. I am looking at this from the point of view of my faith and what is right and wrong. Where are the boundries in marriage. I realised recently when talking to madelaine that some things I have not problem withe others do and there are things I am not sure about yet. I also wanted to find some offical statements from leaders that might help me in search.

I have been interested in sexuallity and what is right and wrong for a long time. These are almost two diffrent topics and I have treated them as such over the years, but I am not so sure that they are so seperate. I have bought some books over the years to try and understand what makes my body tick from a sexual point of view (my husband tells me he has been trying to figure that out too). We have had a furfilling sex life and keep learning new things about each other. I am amazed after 22 years we are still learning about each other and probabbly enjoying sex more then we did when we where first married.

Things I am sure about. Sex is a gift from God to be enjoyed by a man and a women who are married to each other. Married to me means completely commited to each other, and who love each other. ( Someone could be leagally married and not fall into this definition) Sex is sacred and God intends us to treat it that way. The world does not and this brings suffering and pain into the world. When ever sex is not treated as sacred pain and suffering follows. When men and women do not stick to there comitments pain follows.
