Day Before 21

We had to make the long trip across town to Benoni to pick up Matthew's laptop bag because he had his ID book in the bag and he needs it for Monday. But I decided we should make it a day and visit my Aunty Rene in Pretoria. So we stopped for shortbread cookies, as my aunt loves shortbread and inventively gatecrashed my 2nd cousin Simon's 21st birthday party. Well Simon's birthday is actually tomorrow but they could get the whole family together today so why not.

All we wanted was visit my aunt and the whole side of their family was there. Well we aren't that big in family get togethers but Matthew and I were well received, I supposed because we not often in the area, it was good to catch up on family.

Exhilarating and Terrifying

So before work this morning, it is church time, and I look forward to spend time with my family at Centre Church. A bit off the wall but on centre. The other day in my quiet time I read about faith and this summed me up perfectly, "I don't let my faith out of the shallow end of the pool. But the very thought of floating freely in the deep end is both exhilarating... and terrifying."

And where I stand now with the little faith that I have, I know his promise still stands, I am still His and that He has never failed me and never will.
