There's a peace I've come to know Though my heart and flesh may fail There's an anchor for my soul I can say "It is well" Jesus has overcome And the grave is overwhelmed The victory is won He is risen from the dead And I will rise when He calls my name No more sorrow, no more pain I will rise on eagles' wings Before my God fall on my knees And rise I will rise There's a day that's drawing near When this darkness breaks to light And the shadows disappear And my faith shall be my eyes Jesus has overcome And the grave is overwhelmed The victory is won He is risen from the dead And I will rise when He calls my name No more sorrow, no more pain I will rise on eagles' wings Before my God fall on my knees And rise I will rise And I hear the voice of many angels sing, "Worthy is the Lamb" And I hear the cry of every longing heart, "Worthy is the Lamb" Song by Chris Tomlin..

Something I have asked recently for is that wherever I go, May I have Love, Joy,peace and self-control. I then read that all these are fruits of the Spirit. So prehaps thats where it starts. Having the Holy Spirit in my life and giving Him all room. One of the above, PEACE, has been missing from my life epsecially through 2009, as instead of Peace my life was filled with fear. I was scared of crime, scared of people and what they would think, scared of failing(which I did). The last while I have read this verse: "Always be full of JoY in the Lord. I say it again-rejoice!

Then you will experience God's peace which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:4-7 To me That sounds like a promise. and Psalm 138:2b in my translation

This is the story of how I got Spikkels. One thing you must know before hand is that purebred dogs in this part of the world are very expensive and will cost on average R6000-R8000. Before my parents moved to Bahrain they would come and visit Bahrain atleast once a month and stay with friends of ours. The one week when my they were staying with these friends, my mom saw a lady walking outside with 2 little miniature dachshund puppies. Because our family love this specific breed, my mom ran outside and went to chat with the lady. This ladies' puppies had little booties on to protect their feet as Bahrain get extremely hot in the summer. My mom asked the lady that if she knew of anyone who is selling or looking for a home for this breed of puppies, that they must just return to this villa and tell our friends. So about 5 months later while I was still in hospital, a lady cam knocking on our friends' door and said that she wants to give away a little dachshund puppy. Our friends k

One thing that I have not mentioned yet but was the biggest part of my time in hospital is the prayers of the saints. It was the prayers of so many people and churches that carried me because I did not have the strength in the situation to pray most of the time. People I did not even know and others I hadn't seen in years were praying for me. Almost everyday some of my friends and family friends would come visit me. At my brother's wedding, my parents met people that were from my sister-in-law's side of the family who's church had been praying for me. During my time in hospital I was merely facing each day as it came and there were times when I felt very discouraged and alone but it was the prayers of everyone else and their encouragement that kept me strong. EVERY SINGLE visiting session my mom or aunt would be with me and there was only one day where I did not see my mom which was the day of my brother's wedding. This was such a security to me as I was often too t
