Gratitude Journal
This morning Lord, You led me to starting a gratitude journal with my kids and I was so grateful for what I learnt in the process.
This led me to notice something new I've not noticed before about my children and probably all children. I noticed, and I realise that since I've been a mother for 15years and then some - you would think I'd have noticed this before, either way; while my kids were writing in their journals I realised they immediately sat down and started writing, they never questioned me, they never argued with me and I realised that as their parent, as an influencing adult in their lives I would need to be attentive to what I start in their lives and more than that, what I allow them to get involved with, what I allow them to start I need to allow them to finish as well.
Scarlet Thread - journey
When I moved to Cape Town the 2nd time, at the end of 2021, I had a prophetic word that I would be working as a Scarlet Thread to those around me.
Well, I had no idea what this meant, but I came and life carried on and suddenly one day I found myself washed out and drained from the new. New school, new house, new classes and classrooms for my children, new teachers and new ways of teaching, new friends and families to get to know and new ways of doing life… wow… it was all so much and I was struggling to wrap my head around this all... when suddenly, out of the blue popped an old friend…
About
I had a beautiful about page on my previous site and if you want to know how I started on my writing journey, you're welcome to check it out on https://orderingmayhem.co.za/
However, yesterday, 7th January just before I got the download of my calendar, I was contemplating who I am... who am I ... what are the nuts and bolts that make up Asnée... mmmmhhhh
Boy did I start off on the wrong track... I went straight in there for mother of 2... yes I am that, but there must be more... what happened before that... Uhhh yes.... wife... I'd had to have been a wife before I could have become mother of 2... yes... that's it, then I realised, no my life actually existed before I was married and so I went on to another obvious, like sibling, but more fundamentally a daughter to my parents... and then it hit me... I existed before that...
First and foremost and this is my most favourite place on earth,
Come away with Me
Whenever I hear people speaking about a topic I like to know the history they share, personally, with the topic. This got me thinking, who am I to speak on purpose?
Ultimately, you’d like to know that somewhere along the line the Lord has directed me to this point, right? That would be my train of thought.
If you knew me, you’d know I struggled with this one. I’m a loner, someone who doesn’t naturally take to groups, don’t think I’ve made many major achievements in my life and yet the Lord is constantly calling me to write about purpose on my blog.
