This is me with Nurse Thembi. She was my nurse when I was in ICU a year ago and came to visit me in the general ward! Horrbible photo of me though but I'm looking better by the day, I hope;) "Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.   20  For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them" - Matthew 18:19 It was this verse that got me through my time in hospital. Two things that I have known about the local African cultures and have evidently seen this last visit in hospital is their faith in Jesus and their LOUDness! You would think a hospital needs to be quiet, but I tell you, the only time it's quiet is maybe between 1am and 4am. Otherwise, it is constantly noisy. It's the trolleys for medication, trolleys for food, the cleaners, the floor polisher, the nurses with their VERY very loud voices. I have come to a conclusion that a hospital is not a p

One thing that I thought about tonight is this thing of God's universal Kingdom. It amazes me that God can knit the hearts of people together who come from such different parts of the world but because we are all part of another Kingdom and our most treasured "possession" is the same, we are all together sons and heirs. Tonight I said "bye" to Johnny and Connie who serve as deacons to Rivers of Joy and have also become friends of our family. They took us to an amazing Thai restaurant! Thai is some of my favourite food! They have been such a blessing not only to me and my family but to the church. All their children, Isaac, Elizabeth, Eleanor and Ivan have served and blessed Rivers on their short holidays in Bahrain, either through being involved in worship or sound. I have realised this last week that I am also very much sad to leave Bahrain and most importantly SPiKKeLs behind....haha no! but seriously. Somewhere in the Bible there's a verse  where it

Hello friends!! So I haven't blogged for a while, and to be honest, I think my love for blogging has had a bit of hit lately - not sure how long I'll keep this up. But Today I am blogging again to tell you of God's faithfulness. God has answered 2 of my prayers in the last 2 days. The 1st prayer, and less urgent one, is that of my ipod touch. A few days ago it died on me. I plugged it into a power source, pressed all the buttons for numerous intervals of time, but to no hope. It did not want to turn on. So a day or 2 later I decided that I will lay hands on my ipod and ask God to heal it. I thought that perhaps the perfume spill of 4 months ago, which had made my screen seem 3D, has finally taken its toll and sucked the life out of my music source! So directly after I prayed for it I tried to turn it on, but, nothing. Then a day or 2 later I thought that since I had asked God to heal it, I must at least put my faith into action and test it every now and again. So I plug
