Metarmorphosis

Metamorphosis. That is what my Blog is currently undergoing. You see, when I started this blog, I truly thought that I would keep it Afrikaans. However, as time has passed by, God has shown me that there are English readers too.

When they have to read long Afrikaans entries that I wrote on this blog, it takes them hours. My husband told me shortly after starting the blog that he thinks I should make it English as well.

I did not listen and felt that it should remain purely Afrikaans. This past weekend, I had the absolute privilage to attend a Bible journaling camp hosted by Adorned Through Christ.

On this camp God connected me with three woman whom I shared a table with while having meals. Two of these woman were English. One of them was not shy to say that it takes her a few hours to read through one of my blog posts, because she is English.

Lynn Grobler, from Journaling on the Way, you confirmed to me, that I should start writing in English. I hope I will be able to think more English when writing these posts. Ek is mos Afrikaans en wanneer ek praat oor die Here dan is dit in Afrikaans!

I know that God will not fail me when writing and that I will be able to produce what he places in my heart in English when it needs to be English and Afrikaans when it needs to be Afrikaans.

The cover photo that I had selected was the Monarch Butterfly. The reason for this is to symbolise the change, the metamorphosis that this blog is undergoing. I also chose it, because of the distances these butterflies travel over a short period of time, how they are created for a purpose and how they survive.

A dear friend of mine told me about this butterfly approximately one year ago. I have not studied it in depth as much, but I have read about them and what they must go through to survive. Now I am not at all saying that this blog is a Monarch butterfly! No surely not, what I am saying and praying over the blog is for God to help this Blog to reach people that He wants to be reached.

To cover long distances over short periods of time. To do what it was created to do. All the glory be to God always. It is never about me, always about Him. May He always inspire my thoughts, my words, my hands that type these blog posts. In the Name of Jesus. Amen and Amen.
