🥶 my pen het ook vanoggend koud gekry en gesukkel om te skryf….nou vandag se vers bevestig eintlik net dit wat ons reeds weet.
God is able to do anything, beyond what we can even begin to imagine. And His power is within us too, although we are limited by our human abilities, we can sometimes look back at things that happened, wondering how on earth we managed that? Well, that is where God’s power comes into play….
Op die ou einde van die dag, kan ons net enige iets doen agv God se krag binne in ons. So as dit agv Sy krag is, wie moet verheerlik word? Dis nie ons wat dit reg kry nie, dis God se krag, so die heerlikheid van dit wat deur ons werk kom God toe.
Something to think about….my writing talent is not because of me, but rather God’s power that works through me to serve others. So to Him all the glory always!
Laat mens dink nê….? Aan Jesus Christus kom al die eer toe, ALTYD! Niks is uit onsself nie maar deur God wat deur ons werk!
I grew up in a world where there are so many myths, stories and also lies. Especially in children’s stories. Many people will tell you “It is just a story” and make it off as nothing. But, all these stories and things that we take in, is the enemy’s way of desensitising us, making us used to things that are not from God. So much so, that we cannot distinguish between right and wrong. We cannot distinguish between that which is from God and that which is from the world.
The one myth that I think about, is the one about a leprechaun(the short little man with the hat displaying a four leaved clover on it, who is always trying to trick people) with his pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. In these stories, everyone is searching for this pot of gold and in some instances, I think they see it, but it remains out of reach.
Now the reason why I am talking about this is, the world made up a story to let people believe that there is something precious to be found in a place that is impossible to locate. Of course, we know that the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow does not really exist. But, until you learn the truth from someone about something, you will continue to believe the lie, because you do not know of better.
This proverbial pot of gold that is being searched for, can actually be applied to any situation in our lives. We believe the lies, chasing after things that do not really exist, thinking that we will find what we are searching for. All the while, that which we are searching for, does not really exist and will never be found. As humans, we will always be searching for SOMETHING. We have a little hole we have to fill.
Now it feels like I am starting to think random thoughts and giving it through, but I am sure you will follow what I am trying to say here. The rainbow is God’s sign of a covenant with mankind, one that He set with Noah. Do you see how the world twists the beauty of the rainbow? Letting it symbolise different things in life, representing everything that it is not? In this myth that I refer to, it represents something valuable that cannot be found at the end of the rainbow that does not exist.
This brings me to this month’s bible verse. Here God confirms something and gives us a promise. The verse confirms that humans are ever searching for something. That something that we are searching for, is God. Only He can fill the hole in our lives. If we seek Him with all of our heart, we WILL find Him. How wonderful is this? The rainbow, representing God’s promise and covenant, leads to something more precious than a pot of gold. It leads to God. His covenant and promise to us as humans. If we do it whole heartedly, with everything inside of us, WE WILL FIND HIM!
Wow! I am so grateful for the revelation that God has given me about this verse. I pray that everyone that reads it, will continue the search for God rather than for empty promises, myths, stories and lies from the world. That which is waiting for us at the end of God’s rainbow, is so much more than that which the world can offer us. What are you searching for today? Are you following God’s rainbow or the one the world has to offer with a pot of gold that does not exist?
Ek het groot geword in ‘n wêreld waar daar soveel mites, fabels en ook leuens is. Veral in kinderstories en verhale. Baie mense sal vir jou sê “Dis net ‘n storie” en dit as niks afmaak. Maar, al hierdie stories en dinge wat ons so inneem, is maar die vyand se manier om ons gewoond te maak aan goed wat eintlik glad nie van God af is nie. Soveel so, dat ons naderhand nie meer kan onderskei tussen reg en verkeerd nie. Ons kan nie onderskei tussen dit wat van God af is en dit wat van die wêreld af is nie.
Een fabel waaraan ek dink is een van ‘n leprechaun (die klein kort mannetjie, met die hoed met ‘n klawer met vier blare op, wat altyd almal probeer indoen en om die bos lei) met sy pot goud aan die einde van die reënboog. In die stories is almal op soek na die pot goud en in sommige gevalle, dink ek sien die mense dit, maar dit bly buite hul bereik.
Nou die rede hoekom ek hiervan praat is, die wêreld het ‘n storie opgemaak om mense te laat glo dat daar ‘n iets waardevol te vind is op ‘n plek wat onmoontlik is om te kry. Natuurlik weet ons nou dat daar nie regtig ‘n pot goud te vinde is aan die punt van ‘n reënboog nie. Maar tot jy nie die waarheid van iets hoor by iemand nie, sal jy die leuens glo, want jy weet nie van beter nie.
Hierdie spreekwoordelike pot goud, waarna gesoek word, kan toegepas word in eintlik maar in enige situasie in ons lewens. Ons glo die leuens, jaag goed na en dink dat ons wel gaan vind waarna ons soek, terwyl dit waarna ons soek eintlik nie regtig bestaan nie en ons dit nooit sal vind nie. Die mens bly soekend na IETS. Het ‘n gaatjie wat hulle probeer vul.
Nou voel dit of ek deurmekaar begin dink oor goed en dit deurgee, maar ek glo julle sal volg wat ek hier probeer sê. Die reënboog is God se teken van Sy verbond met die mense, wat Hy met Noag gesluit het. Sien jy hoe die wêreld die mooi van ‘n reënboog verdraai? Sodat dit allerhande goed verteenwoordig, alles behalwe dit waarvoor dit regtig staan en beteken? In hierdie fabel waarna ek verwys, verteenwoordig dit iets kosbaar en waardevol wat nie bestaan nie, aan die punt van die reënboog wat nie gevind kan word nie.
Dit bring my na die maand se bybelvers toe. Die Here bevestig iets en gee vir ons ‘n belofte. Die vers bevestig dat ons as mense soekend is na iets. Daardie iets waarna ons soek, is God. Net Hy kan ons gaatjie vul. As ons Hom soek met ons hele hart, SAL ons Hom vind. Hoe wonderlik is dit nie net nie? Die reënboog, wat God se verbond en belofte verteenwoordig, lei na iets baie meer waardevol as ‘n pot goud. Dit lei na die Here toe. Sy verbond en belofte met ons as mense. As ons hard genoeg dit doen, met alles in ons, SAL ONS HOM VIND!
Wow! Ek is so dankbaar vir die openbaring wat die Here vir my gegee het oor die vers. Ek bid van harte dat elkeen wat dit lees, hul soektog sal voortsit na God en nie na allerhande dinge en leë beloftes, mites, fabels en leuens van die wêreld nie. Dit wat vir ons wag aan die punt van die reënboog van God se beloftes en verbond, is soveel beter as dit wat die wêreld het om te bied. Waarna soek jy vandag? Volg jy God se reënboog of die een wat die wêreld bied met ‘n pot goud wat nie bestaan nie?
Vandag se versie spreek soveel waarheid. Op ‘n stadium het ek leeg gevoel, so asof ek nie genoeg nutriënte inneem nie. Natuurlik was daar verskeie faktore wat bygedra het tot hoe ek gevoel het en een van dit was kos en ek het my leefstyl aangepas en probeer gesonder lewe.
But, another thing was still missing. I was still lacking something. What it was, I did not know. I used to read bible every other day, attend church every Sunday, but still that was not enough. It was only when I actively started spending time in God’s word that I could feel the difference.
Natuurlik het dit nog beter begin voel toe ek op my blad Uit die Pen van ‘n Beroepsvrou, my maandelikse oordenkinge begin deel oor die bybelverse op die “desk pad” en toe begin dit ontwikkel en toe ek weer sien deel ek op werksdae my oordenkinge oor die dag se bybelvers.
What a mouthfull, but, with that being said, I could feel the change happening in me and that is because I have been consuming God’s word daily too, not on every other occassion. And this is an active testimony of this verse today!
Just yesterday I sent a message to someone and ended it off with “Anything is possible with God”. It is like God wanted to confirm this for this person (you know who you are) by repeating it today.
Nou het jy al ooit gedink dat die Here iets nie kan doen nie? Of dat iets net regtig onmoontlik lyk vir ons as mense en dan twyfel ons of dit enigsins haalbaar is? Ek weet ek voel omtrent elke dag so met al die werksdruk wat daar is met konstante veranderinge in wetgewing.
All we have to do is to trust God. No matter what authorities or doctors say or what our circumstances are, God can do anything and is always aware of what is going on in every person’s life!
Wat lyk vir jou onmoontlik vandag? Wat is jou Mount Everest wat jy moet uitklim sonder toerusting en opleiding? Is dit werk? Is dit jou gesondheid? Finansies? Kinders? Of net sommer elke liewe aspek in die lewe? Onthou dan vandag se vers en verklaar dit hardop in jou lewe!
Today’s scripture reminds me of how one should approach Accounting, Science and Maths (and probably a whole whack of other subjects too). You see, these subjects in school we need to do exercises so that we can come to grips with what we are being taught.
Niemand kan goeie Rekeningkunde of Wetenskap (veral Fisika met Vektore en al daai ander somme waar die busse by mekaar verby ry op ‘n sekere tyd) of Wiskunde doen deur net daarna te kyk en te lees nie. Nee. Jy moet dit oefen!
Today’s scripture emphasises what we should do with God’s word. You cannot only read and listen to it, you must start practising it! They say practice makes perfect, do they not?
En dis hoe ons God se woord moet benader – oefen, oefen en nogmaals oefen! Sodat jy met jou Wetenskap som wel kan bereken hoe lank dit bus A en B gaan neem om by mekaar verby te gaan (alhoewel ek op skool nooit die nut van dit kon verstaan nie 🤣). Maak dit sin wat ek sê?
Vandag se versie leer ons dat dit wat in die Bybel geskryf staan, steeds relevant is tot vandag. Die Amplified praat van “for our instruction” wat vir my sê dat dit instruksies is wat gevolg moet word.
The best part of this verse is that those instructions give us hope and encouragement. That is so needed in an upside down world we find ourselves in these days!
Dis wonderlik hoe lewendig God se woord is en hoe relevant dit bly….al is dit meer as 2,000 jaar gelede geskryf!
Oh what a day 🤣 lekker Excel skedules gebou en somme gemaak en goed geleer en hier is ek nou met vandag se skrifversie. Nou iets waaraan ek gedink het toe ek dit lees is, om in die donker te stap.
In my house I walk in darkness often, but not total darkness – there is usually a lamp somewhere in the distance providing a little bit of light. But, what I felt the Holy Spirit saying is – where you walk in familiar territory, you don’t always need as much light, but you still need light so that you do not bump a baby toe or step on lego blocks.
Maar wanneer dit kom by die onbekende areas, het ons lig nodig. Ek gaan loop nie in stik donkerte buite rond nie want ek weet ek sal myself beseer. Net so is dit met die lewe. Onthou net ons weet nie regtig waarheen ons lewe lei nie. Ons beplan en maak planne, maar die Here bepaal ons weg (soos dit in Spreuke sê).
And THAT is why we need God’s word – to guide us on this path so that we don’t step on hypothetical spiritual lego’s on the way. God’s word is there to help us, guide us through situations that we do not know how to handle so that we do not break a baby toe or step on lego.
Maak dit sin wat ek sê? Ons kan nie anders as om tyd in Sy woord te spandeer nie. Dit gaan lê in ons harte en dit wat in ons harte aangaan bepaal ons lewe….o hoe hou ek nie net van God se goue draad in die Bybel nie!!
Not too long ago, one morning after attending church, a friend of mine, Tanja Smith, calls me closer. She introduces me to Karien Bosman, saying she should ask me. Like the obedient friend I am, I stand closer, ever so slightly confused with what needs to be asked of me. The conversation leads in the direction of selling tickets for a table, attending a Cherish morning for women, at our church, Doxa Deo Xanadu. To be a hostess at this event.
I have never in my life before, portrayed the role of a hostess at an event such as this (I was always hesitant for these types of things, the one reason is the fear of the unknown, and also fearing that I will be asked to do something that is outside my comfort zone). None the less, here I am, acting as a hostess. I must sell 9 other tickets and then ensure that the tea pots are full of hot water and filter coffee. I reckoned that this is easy enough and agreed to this, selling tickets to other friends and people I know.
One Saturday, at my nail appointment, I chatted with Irene about this event and she asked what it entails. I shrugged my shoulders saying that I don’t know much. Just that it includes something to eat. She started to laugh, because that was not what she had asked. She wanted to know who the guest speaker is and what she is going to talk about. Again, I could not really answer her, and we left it at that. She reserved a seat at my table, and so the process started with other friends reserving seats at my table.
The day before the event, all the hostesses had to get together to help set up in the hall. Everyone is responsible to set their tables with everything that is provided by the church. It does not sound too difficult to do, and here I go from the one side of Hartbeespoort Dam to the other side, to fulfil this task that was assigned to me. Part of the things that have to be placed on the table, is Khayelitsha Cookies. Now let me tell you quickly – I took a photo of the biscuits and I had to double check the spelling of Khayelitsha from the photo, because man of man, I would not get this right on my own.
None the less, I do as I am told and don’t wonder too much about what is going to happen. I did not try to figure out who Adri Williams is and didn’t think twice about the biscuits. At some stage I heard Karien saying that when Adri flies in that evening, she will bring this, that and the next with her. Now in my mind I am starting to do calculations about where Adri is from. Khayelitsha (oh my hat I must check this word’s spelling the whole time!!) is in the Cape Province. So I reckoned that she is somewhere from the Cape area.
On the day, someone mentioned to me that Adri purchased Khayelitsha Cookies for something like R1 in 2013, I think, and turned the business around. Again, my head starts doing calculations and I reckoned she will be giving her testimony of how God turned that business around into one massive profitable business. And like that, the morning started, coffee, tea and boiling water is carried to the table, and I convinced myself that I will get my daily steps recorded on my exercise watch, because, my table is on the far side of the hall, right on the opposite side of where the coffee and boiling water is. Then it was Adri’s turn to speak.
I am trying to remember all the facts, but I must admit, she talked a lot and mentioned so many things, that I just cannot remember everything. I also did not sit to make notes, so here it goes. I am going to say what I remember from the morning. I also reckon that her story cannot be fitted into a blog entry, so I will give the short version. Her story is worthy of a book, I don’t even think a morning like this, can describe in detail all God’s miracles. Because that is what it is about, is it not?
You see, I am someone that likes the detail. I like to hear HOW God lets people’s paths cross, how someone prays over here and someone, 700 km away, hears something, experiencing how God just brings everything and everyone together in His Godly manner. Something that cannot be fabricated by people. The long and the short is – Adri was in a cosy corporate job. Had a company car, marble countertops in the kitchen and the works. Real fancy. Then at one stage, she quit her job and joined Khayelitsha Cookies (oh man me and the spelling of this word). The role that she portrayed, I could not detect from her testimony, the year I cannot remember – was it 2003 or 2007?
Adri mentioned that her family thought she was crazy to do something like this, but now they are rock solid behind her, supporting her. Somewhere in her testimony, she was involved with a Children’s home (I think with her church…?) and every second Saturday, they would do an outreach to these kids. She always kept to the toddlers rather than the babies (from what I could understand, she was afraid she will break them if she holds them, so she rather just avoided them). One particular Saturday, a baby was placed in her arms, the nurse asking her to help give the baby 15 ml of milk before she leaves that day, else the child will surely die.
She mentions a shocking fact that 1 out of 5 children die annually because of malnutrition. Now this is where the Cookie company came in, somewhere around here (now I am avoiding the spelling of Khayelitsha because it frustrates me too much to constantly check how it is spelt). She shared with us how she became a fellow shareholder, after the previous owners wanted to close down the company, because they were operating at a loss and just could not pay the bills anymore. This company does not receive government funding I learnt, and they also bake at a profit margin of 1% (I may have the % incorrect, but it is not very big) on the sales of the biscuits. She tells us where she started with three small ovens like those you would use in your home (I know exactly what oven she refers to – for many years, that was what I had to use in our house before we upgraded to a bigger one). She showed us pictures of where they are now, a wonderful space with big ovens, something that looked like a vision that God gave her right at the start when she joined the Cookie company.
At this point, her testimony turns to something that I did not expect. She tells us how she heard God’s voice audibly, one year on Christmas day, while having Christmas lunch with her family, about cattle feed that she must take to a farmer. She proceeds to tell us how God just let everything fall into place, like only He can. How cell phone calls dialled through to places where there is no cell phone reception. How the farmer prayed to God for help on that same Christmas day that she heard God audibly, 700 km away, about what to do. It is just AMAZING and the detail is too much to share here (I am most probably going to get the detail wrong, I would have to sit with her, making notes, because I want to get the detail right).
The story progress further about how she started to arrange and organise a fleet of trucks to deliver cattle feed, doing research about what feed different types of cattle eat (because yes, there is humour in this story – the very first feed truck that she arranged, was food that sheep do not eat and from what I gathered, it was taken to a sheep farmer). She further had to do due diligence investigations about the farmers that needed help, because it is other people’s money and donations used in this process and she cannot afford for anything to go wrong here. She drove with each truck where feed is delivered, arranging the diesel, drivers, trucks, cattle feed. You name it, she had to arrange it. We learnt how God touched farmer’s lives (and hearts) who had become hard hearted towards God, how communities turned back to Him. How they prayed for farmers’ wives, serving others like only God can.
Then came the accident. A gruesome accident where they thought she would not survive. She tells us how the car rolled 6 and a half times after a tyre burst. How her right arm twisted twice I think, in an unnatural manner and was totally out of place. The arm was crushed in medical terms. She tells us how God sent someone, to pray for the woman in the car. A man that looked like her dad and called her Miss (Juffrou in Afrikaans), something that only her dad called her. She was freed from the car after 3 and half hours of cutting away at the wreck, with who knows what machinery (I cannot remember everything). How God sent farmers to pray for her health, because it looked like she was not going to survive.
An ICU ambulance was sent from the Cape, to transport her for medical assistance. She tells us jokingly, how the coloured paramedic was fighting with her to stay alive so that they can help her in the hospital. It is just trauma upon trauma upon trauma in her testimony and all the way, one cannot help but to notice God’s hand in everything (and His humour too, because three years after the accident, she learnt that the local doctor was not available and the doctor that was standing in at that time, assisting her, was also the local veterinarian). It was so amazing to notice God’s hand in everything, to hear how He is in the detail in everything that happened with her. She tells us that she flatlined when she saw her family at the hospital and how they resuscitated her. How she had all these thoughts going through her mind, while she was lying in the wreck, coming in and out of consciousness. How she wondered if she was truly a good mother to her children and whether she really did everything right and did enough?
The core of her message was this – we are enough, but we are also at times our biggest enemy. Every person has a story. We must testify of God’s goodness, how He provides. How He helps us when people can’t. She told us further that the doctors did not have hope for her arms, that she had to go in for the umpteenth time for an operation, signing forms beforehand authorising doctors to amputate her arms if they feel they cannot do anything more for her. How her husband pledged R777 at a local radio station in the Cape province, how he was praying for the healing of his wife and her arms. At this same event at the Radio station, was Gary Kieswetter.
Gary felt that God told him that her arms will be God’s trophies. She goes on by telling us that Gary phoned her, telling her what he felt God told him. After all the operations, the lack of life that the doctors spoke over her arms, she still has both her arms and full use of them. God restored and healed it completely! Only a living God can do this! The biggest miracle of all? The scars on both her arms are 27cm long – this represents the number of trucks that God asked her to arrange. The total holes in her body, as a result from the stitches, amounts to 161. This represents the number of farmers that God assisted through the feed trucks that were arranged. I cannot help but to see someone standing in victory, arms flexing upwards.
True trophies with engravings of God’s goodness and favour. Just like Gary Kieswetter experienced and shared with her. Even after all the revelations, there were more operations, and the other miracles of these operations? No additional stitches or cut marks were made on the surface of her skin. If there were stitches, it was placed internally. How wonderful is God? Wow. I did NOT expect to hear this type of testimony. I almost felt ashamed about how boring my life is and how I feel that I do not do enough for God. How I almost started to listen to the lies from the devil, that I can only write a blog and nothing more. I mean, what does a blog help for draught and cattle dying from a lack of food? But a very important thing was said by her – we must not compare our stories with those of others. Everyone has their own story, unique and written by God.
Of course, I got my answer from God about Beroepsvrou. I have been struggling for a while now about the purpose of Beroepsvrou and whether I should not retire the Pink Feathers ® range of Beroepsvrou. To just focus on writing and my day job and life that keeps on happening, raising two kids and just doing my part when it comes to that… but God’s answer this morning was clear, audible, spoken by Adri. Do not stop, keep on doing something for God. It does not have to be something that you make a living from. Just keep on. I cannot recall her exact words, but this is what I got from it. Testify, because everything comes back to our Creator. How great He truly is. How He is in every single detail.
Adri, my prayer for you is God’s goodness and favour over you (here I go again with the spelling) and Khayelitsha Cookies and everything that God lays on your heart to do. Your obedience and testimony are so inspiring. It is wonderful to know that there are other crazy people out there, doing things that do not make sense, but just being obedient in that what God lays on their hearts to do. There is a song from Casting Crowns called Crazy People – one of my favourite songs. Go and testify and keep on praising God’s name, bringing glory to Him, because it is His breath in our lungs, and we cannot do less than that – to praise and worship His Name!
Een oggend na kerk, nie te lank gelede nie, word ek deur ‘n vriendin Tanja Smith voorgekeer. Sy beduie na Karien Bosman en sê sy moet my vra. Verdwaas weet ek glad nie wat ek gevra moet word nie, maar staan toe nader soos ‘n gehoorsame vriendin maar doen, jy weet? Die gesprek lei toe na ‘n tafel se kaartjies verkoop, by ‘n Cherish vroue oggend by ons kerk, Doxa Deo Xanadu. Ek moet as gasvrou optree op die oggend.
Nou ja, nog nooit in my lewe was ek ‘n “gasvrou” by ‘n damesoggend nie (ek was maar altyd sku vir die goed want ek het nooit geweet wat dit behels nie en was te bang iemand vra my om iets te doen wat buite my gemaksone is). Wel, nie te min, hier is ek nou, gasvrou. Ek moet 9 ander kaartjies verkoop en dan sorg dat die potte vol water en koffie bly. Maklik genoeg reken ek. Ek stem in en daar begin ek kaartjies smous aan ander vriendinne en kennisse.
Ek gaan doen een Saterdag my naels, gesels met Irene wat my naels doen en sy vra uit oor die oggend en wat dit behels. Ek trek my skouers op en sê ek weet nie veel nie. Net dat dit eetgoed insluit. Sy begin lag, want dis nou glad nie wat sy gevra het nie. Sy wou by my weet wie is die gasspreker, waaroor praat sy. Weer kon ek haar nie regtig antwoord nie, en ons laat dit daar. Sy bespreek ‘n kaartjie aan my tafel en so begin ek een na die ander vriendinne en kennisse inryg om by my tafel te sit.
Die dag voor die geleentheid moet ons almal aanmeld om die saal reg te kry. Elkeen dek hul eie tafel, met alles wat die kerk voorsien. Klink nie te moeilik nie en daar gaan ek van die een kant van Hartbeespoortdam na die ander kant van die dam, om hierdie taak te verrig. Deel van die goedjies wat ons op die tafels moet sit is Khayelitsha Cookies. Nou kan ek net gou vir julle vertel – ek het ‘n foto van die koekies geneem en ek moes wragties die spelling van Khayelitsha van die foto af kry, want mense ons, ek sou dit uit my eie uit nie reg kon spel nie.
Nie te min, ek doen net wat vir my gesê word en wonder glad nie te veel van wat gaan gebeur nie. Ek probeer nie uitwerk wie Adri Williams is nie, dink niks van die koekies nie. Ek hoor net op ‘n kol Karien sê wanneer Adri opvlieg vanaand gaan sy dit, dat en die volgende saam bring. Nou begin my kop somme maak oor waar Adri vandaan kom. Khayelitsha (liewe aarde ek moet die heeltyd die spelling van hierdie woord nagaan!!) is mos in die Kaap. So ek reken sy kom van die Kaap af.
Op die dag van die geleentheid, noem iemand vir my dat Adri Khayelitsha Cookies vir iets soos R1 in 2013 gekoop het, ek dink, en die besigheid omgeswaai het. Weer maak my kop somme en reken ek sy gaan haar getuienis gee van hoe die Here ‘n besigheid geswaai het in een groot winsgewende organisasie. So begin die oggend, koffie, tee en kookwater word aangedra, ek oortuig myself dat ek my steps gaan inkry op my oefen horlosie, want my tafel is heel aan die ander kant waar die kookwater en filter koffie is. Toe is dit Adri se beurt om te praat.
Ek probeer al die feite onthou, maar jong, sy praat so baie en noem so baie goed dat ek nie alles KAN onthou nie. Ek het ook nie gesit en nota’s maak nie, so ja, hier gaan ek nou uit die heupe uit skiet met dit wat ek onthou. Ek reken ook dat haar storie nie in ‘n blog of webjoernaal inskrywing gaan inpas nie, so ek gaan maar die verkorte weergawe gee. Haar storie is waardig vir ‘n boek, ek dink nie eens ‘n oggend soos vanoggend, kan al God se wonderwerke in detail deurgee nie. Want dis mos waaroor dit gaan, nie waar nie?
Jy sien – ek is ‘n detail mens. Ek hou daarvan om te hoor HOE God mense se paaie laat kruis, hoe iemand hier bid, en iemand daar, 700 km ver iets hoor, ervaar en hoe God almal net bymekaar bring op Sy Goddellike manier. Iets wat mense nie kan fabriseer nie. Die lang en die kort was – Adri het ‘n lekker cosy korporatiewe pos gehad. Company kar, marble toonbanke in haar kombuis en die werke. Fêncy verby. Toe op ‘n stadium, bedank sy haar werk en sluit aan by Khayelitsha Cookies (ai alweer ek en die spelling). In watter rol kon ek nie optel uit die gesprek uit nie, die jaar kan ek nie onthou nie – was dit 2003 of 2007?
Adri noem dat haar familie gedink het sy is mal om so iets te doen, maar nou bankvas agter haar staan en haar ondersteun. Iewers in haar getuienis was sy betrokke by ‘n kinderhuis (ek dink saam met haar kerk…?) en elke tweede Saterdag sou hulle gaan uitreik na die kinders. Sy het haarself altyd by die kleuters gehou eerder as die babas (soos ek verstaan het, was sy bang sy breek die baba’s as sy hulle vashou, so sy het hulle eerder vermy). Nou ja, die betrokke Saterdag, word ‘n baba in haar arms gedruk en gevra sy moet help om 15ml melk vir die baba te laat drink voor sy huis toe gaan, anders sou die baba doodgaan.
Sy noem ‘n skokkende feit dat 1 uit 5 kinders voor die ouderdom van 1, jaarliks sterf weens wanvoeding. Nou dis hier iewers waar die Koekie plek in gekom het (ek vermy nou maar die spelling van Khayelitsha want dit frustreer my net te veel om kort- kort te gaan kyk hoe word dit gespel). Sy deel met ons hoe sy ‘n mede aandeelhouer geword het, na die vorige eienaars die maatskappy wou toemaak omdat hulle verliesse ly en net nie meer alles kon bybring nie. Die maatskappy ontvang nie staatsondersteuning nie van wat ek verstaan het, en hulle bak ook koekies teen ‘n klein winsmarge van iets soos 1% (ek mag dalk hier die % verkeerd hê maar dis nie baie hoog nie). Sy vertel ons waar sy begin het met drie klein huis oondjies (ek weet presies waarna sy verwys hier – vir baie jare het ons so een in ons huis gehad voor ons opgegradeer het na ‘n groter een). Sy wys ons fotos van waar hulle nou is met ‘n wonderlike spasie met groot oonde, iets wat lyk soos die visie wat die Here haar gegee het toe sy net by die Koekie plek aangesluit het.
En dis op hierdie punt wat haar getuienis draai. Sy vertel hoe sy die Here se stem hoorbaar gehoor heteen Kersdag, terwyl sy en haar familie Kersete geniet het, oor voer wat sy vir ‘n boer moet vat. Hoe sy vertel hoe die Here net alles in plek laat val soos wat net Hy kan. Hoe selfoon oproepe deurgaan na plekke waar daar nie opvangs is nie. Hoe die boer die einste Kersdag gebid het tot God vir hulp en die Here haar, 700 km ver, hoorbaar gesê het wat sy moet doen. Dit is net AMAZING en te veel detail om hier te deel (ek gaan tien teen een helfde van dit verkeerd kry in elkgeval, ek sal met haar moet sit en nota’s maak, want ek wil die detail reg kry).
Die storie vorder verder, hoe sy ‘n vloot trokke begin reel om voer af te laai, navorsing wat gedoen word oor watter voer watter diere eet (want ja, daar is humor in die storie – die heel eerste voer trok wat sy gereël het, was toe voer wat skape nie eet nie, en dit klink vir my was vir ‘n skaap boer geneem). Sy moes verder ondersoek instel oor die boere waar voer afgelewer word, want dis ander mense se geld, skenkings en donasies en sy kan nie bekostig dat iets iewers verkeerd loop nie. Sy ry saam met elke trok waar daar voer afgelewer word, reël diesel, drywers, trokke, voer. Jy noem dit, sy moes dit reël. Hoe die Here geharde boere se harte aanraak, gemeenskappe terugdraai na Hom toe. Hoe daar gebid word vir boere se vrouens, bedien word soos net God kan.
Toe kom die ongeluk. ‘n Gru-ongeluk waar hulle gedink het sy nie sou oorleef nie. Sy vertel verder hoe die kar 6 en ‘n half keer gerol het na ‘n band gebars het. Hoe haar regter arm ek dink twee maal gedraai het in die pootjie en heeltemal uit plek uit was. En eintlik maar vergruis was in mediese terme. Sy vertel hoe die Here iemand stuur, om vir die vrou in die kar te bid. ‘n Oom wat soos haar pa gelyk het en haar Juffrou genoem het, iets wat net haar pa haar genoem het. Na 3 en ‘n half ure het hulle haar uit die wrak gesny, met wie weet watse toerusting (ek kan nie alles onthou nie). Hoe die Here boere stuur om te bid vir haar beterskap omdat dit regtig nie gelyk het of sy gaan oorleef nie.
‘n ICU ambulans was gestuur van die Kaap af om haar te neem vir mediese hulp. Sy vertel spottender wys vir ons hoe die kleurling paramedikus met haar raas en baklei om te bly lewe tot hulle haar kan help in die hospitaal. Dis net trauma op trauma op trauma in haar getuienis en al die pad kan mens nie help as om die Here se hand in alles te sien nie (en Sy humor want drie jaar later, na die ongeluk, het sy uitgevind dat die plaaslike dokter nie beskikbaar was nie en dat die instaan dokter wat haar behandel het, ook die plaaslikse veearts was). Om die Here se hand in net alles te kan opmerk, te hoor hoe Hy in die detail is met elke liewe ding wat met haar gebeur. Sy vertel hoe sy geflatline het toe sy haar familie by die hospitaal sien, hoe hulle haar bygebring het. Hoe sy allerhande gedagtes gehad het terwyl sy in die wrak gelê het, terwyl sy in en uit bewusteloosheid sluimer. Hoe sy gewonder het of sy regtig ‘n goeie ma vir haar kinders is en of sy regtig alles reg en genoeg gedoen het?
Die kern van haar boodskap was dit – ons is genoeg, maar soms is ons ook ons eie grootste vyand. Elke mens het ‘n storie. Ons moet getuig van God se goedheid, hoe Hy voorsien. Hoe Hy ons help wanneer mense nie kan nie. Sy vertel verder hoe die dokters nie hoop gehad het nie, sy vir die soveelste operasie moet ingaan op haar arms, vorms moet teken vir toestemming vir amputasie as die dokters dink hulle kan die arms nie red nie. Hoe haar man R777 gepledge het by die plaaslike radio stasie in die Kaap, hoe hy bid vir sy vrou se arms en herstel ten volle. By hierdie einste byeenkoms by die Radiostasie, was Gary Kieswetter.
Gary ervaar toe dat die Here sê dat haar arms God se trofeë is. Sy vertel verder hoe Gary haar bel, vir haar vertel wat hy ervaar die Here vir hom gesê het. Na al die operasies, na al die dood wat medici gespreek het, het sy haar arms behou. God het dit ten volle herstel en sy het volle gebruik van beide haar arms. Net ‘n lewende God kan dit doen! Die grootste wonderwerk van alles? Beide snye aan haar arms is 27 cm lank – dit verteenwoordig die hoeveelheid trokke wat die Here haar laat reël het. Die gaatjies oral op haar lyf as gevolg van steke se totaal is 161. Dit verteenwoordig die hoeveelheid boere wat die Here gehelp het deur die voer trokke wat gereël was. Ek kan nie anders help nie, as om iemand te sien wat in oorwinning staan, arms geflex na bo.
Werklike trofeë met graverings van God se goedheid en guns. Net soos Gary Kieswetter ervaar het en met haar gedeel het. Selfs na al hierdie openbaringe, was daar nog operasies, en die ander wonderwerk van hierdie operasies? Geen addisionele snymerke of steke gaatjies was gemaak op haar vel nie. As daar steke was, was dit inwendig geplaas. Hoe wonderlik is God nie net nie? Wow. Ek het GLAD NIE verwag om hierdie getuienis te hoor nie. Ek het amper skaam gekry vir hoe boring my lewe is en hoe ek voel ek nie genoeg vir die Here doen nie. Hoe ek ampertjies begin luister het vir die vyand se leuen van net ‘n blog skryf. Ek meen, wat help dit vir droogte en vee wat doodgaan a.g.v. geen weiding wat beskikbaar is nie? Maar ‘n baie belangrike ding wat sy genoem het is – ons moet nie ons stories met ander sinne vergelyk nie. Elkeen het hul eie storie, uniek en deur God geskryf.
Natuurlik het ek my antwoord gekry oor ‘n vraag wat ek die Here gevra het oor Beroepsvrou. Ek worstel al vir ‘n geruime tyd oor Beroepsvrou se doel en of ek nie maar die Pienk Vere ® reeks van Beroepsvrou moet laat uittree nie. Net fokus op skryf en my day job en die lewe wat gebeur, kindertjies groot kry en net my deel doen in daardie opsig… Maar God se antwoord vanoggend was duidelik, hoorbaar deur woorde wat Adri gespreek het. Moet nie ophou nie, hou aan en doen iets vir die Here. Ek hoef nie ‘n lewe daaruit te maak nie. Maar hou aan. Ek kan nie haar presiese woorde onthou nie, maar dis wat ek uit dit gekry het. Getuig, want alles kom weer terug na ons Skepper toe. Hoe groot Hy werklik is. Hoe Hy in elke liewe detail is.
Adri, ek bid God se goedheid en guns oor jou (hier gaan ek alweer met die spelling) en Khayelitsha Cookies en alles wat die Here op jou hart lê om te doen. Jou gehoorsaamheid en getuienis is so inspirerend. Dis wonderlik om te weet daar is nog ander crazy mense daar buite, wat goed doen wat nie sin maak nie, maar tog net gehoorsaam is in dit wat die Here op hul harte lê om te doen. Daar is nie verniet ‘n liedjie van Casting Crowns genaamd Crazy People nie. Een van my gunsteling liedjies. Gaan getuig en hou aan om God se naam te verheerlik en vergroot, want Hy het Sy asem in ons longe gesit en ons kan nie minder as dit doen nie – om Sy Naam te loof en prys en groot te maak!
Hoe wonderlik is dit nie om te dink dat ons uit die duisternis se kloue gered was nie? En dat die Here vir ons ‘n kans gegee het om Sy Seun Jesus te kan leer ken EN verlossing te kry deur Hom is net wonderlik om te weet!
The most important is, we are forgiven from all of our sin. Thank goodness for that! We sin daily, sometimes we don’t even know that we are sinning…..
So lekker om die naweek te kan afskop met so ‘n wonderlike vers en wete dat ons gered is deur Sy bloed en dat ons sondes vergewe is!!
Hoeveel keer bid ons regtig vir mekaar? En hoeveel keer bely ons as ons iets verkeerd gedoen het teenoor mekaar? Ons is so vasgevang in veroordeling en die vrees van veroordeling dat ons nie net openlik met mekaar kan gesels oor iets wat fout gegaan het nie.
Then we don’t get round to praying for each other and then the healing does not take place. And I don’t think this is just physical healing. This is emotional healing too. Note that this verse refers to the fervent prayer of a righteous person.
Vurig beteken hard en aanhoudend, iets wat nie sommer stop vir niks nie. Dit dra groot krag! Nie lou of flou gebed nie maar vurig! Gebed het soveel krag, ons moet net aanhou en uithou en deurdruk met dit. Dan sal ons sien wat gebeur in ons lewens!
Ek sê altyd dat ons die Here se asem in ons longe het, so ons kan nie minder as om Hom te loof en prys nie. Vir seker het ons almal oomblikke en is ons nie sonstrale dag in en dag uit nie.
But, our Creator has given us life and each day is a gift from His hand (hence why it is called the present 😊) – what do you do to someone who gives you gifts? Do you talk badly about them, to them? Or do you thank them for what they have given you?
So ietsie om weer oor te dink. Van die oggend tot die aand wil ek die Here se naam loof! Ek kan nie help om te dink aan Kim Walker se Rooftops liedjie nie. Waar staan jy vandag? Wat doen jy met jou asem wat die Here in jou longe geblaas het? En wat doen jy met die tyd wat Hy elke dag vir jou gee?
I don’t think I have seen this many capitalised words in the Amplified version before. Clearly this is important and hence the capitalisation. The long and the short is – we are CHOSEN by God to be His people who can receive Mercy.
Nou saam met hierdie uitverkorene volk en dat ons gekies is kom soveel goed. Ons is spesiaal, uniek, toegewy (consecrated) aan Hom, geroep uit die duisternis. Ons was eens nie God se mense nie maar nou is ons. Kon nie genade ontvang nie maar nou doen ons.
Wow so wonderful to think of it this way, have you ever thought of it like this….?
Sjoe elke dag se versie voel vir my soos ietsie om oor te dink en te herkou tot ons hom lekker en goed verstaan!
Vandag se vers is iets wat ek oor en oor raak sien in die Bybel op verskillende plekke. Ek dink die Here probeer iets vir ons (my) sê deur dit….deur herhaling….
To trust confidently means there is NO DOUBT. Do you fully trust God? Do you think He knows what He is doing or do you second guess Him sometimes….? Harsh question I know, but if you do not have confidence in something or someone then there is doubt right?
Die beste belofte is dat Hy ons rots sal wees. Weet jy wat dit beteken? Dit beteken dat as die storms van die lewe kom, die twyfel wat die vyand kort-kort probeer saai, die lelik en sleg van die lewe – wanneer dit ons tref, sal ons nie omval nie.
Yes we do have our moments when times are tough, but with God as our Rock, we can have certainty that we will be protected and kept safe no matter what comes our way. Because the end prize is still eternity….
We are taking a road trip so no video or pic of me writing the daily verse. But here is today’s digital image.
Nou vandag se versie gaan oor God wat ons wêreld wil herstel as ons Hom aanroep en weg draai van ons sondige lewe af. Let daarop dat ek sê wêreld en nie land nie. Want nie net SA is op ‘n plek wat God se ingryping nodig het nie.
The whole world is in turmoil! Everyone needs God. We need to seek Him and fill ourselves with Him and His word. Become difference makers. Then He will restore our world.
Wat doen ‘n middelaar? Dis mos iemand wat tussen twee partye staan en praat en word gewoonlik in situasies gebruik waar mense nie altyd ooreenstem nie, is dit nie? Of is dit ‘n bemiddelaar? Nou wonder ek of middelaar en bemiddelaar dieselfde is?
I think it is the same as the Amplified refers to it as Mediator. Anyway, let me keep to the verse rather than language lessons! This verse ties up with the one where it states that no one can go to God except if they go through Jesus Christ.
Want Hy is die weg, waarheid EN lewe! Wow so Jesus tree in vir ons met God want op ons eie sou ons dit nie gemaak het nie….Hy is ons Middelaar….o en die ander ding wat uitstaan vir my is die woord EEN.
There is only ONE God and ONE Mediator. Don’t be confused thinking there are other gods and mediators….
What an interesting day I had today….so here I am, posting today’s bible verse after 7 pm. Anyhow, back to the verse. The part that stands out to me is where Paul spoke about that it is better to give than to receive.
Nou die deel wat uitstaan is die laaste deel van die vers. Dit is saliger om te gee as om te ontvang. Hoe waar is dit nie net nie….? Het jy al ooit gevoel hoe dit voel as jy iets vir iemand gee, veral as hulle dit nie verwag het nie?
That feel good feeling is always the best feeling and makes you feel “lekker” does it not? Ever thought that this is a Biblical principle….?
Nou ja toe, soos vele kere tevore – ietsie om oor na te dink….
O my hat! It is cold. On days like these I want to be able to keep warm while doing work and other things but that seems impossible. You are either warm and not doing anything or you are not so toasty warm and doing something.
Vandag se vers is eenvoudig. Dit kom uit die Onse Vader gebed uit wat Jesus Sy dissipels (en ons) geleer het hoe om te bid. En dis so maklik soos om net te vra vir wat ons vandag nodig het. Nie volgende week of môre of volgende jaar se voorsiening nie. Nee, net eenvoudig vir vandag.
That is actually how simple it is. We should not worry and pray for the future, rather for today. The present moment. Because that is where we are now and what we need now.
Is dit nie wonderlik nie? Hoe hierdie versie eintlik vir ons sê om dinge een dag op ‘n slag te neem….? Ietsie om aan te dink! Hoop almal bly warm vandag! Ek het myself tuis gemaak langs die kaggel en probeer maar hier gewerk kry anders kry ek niks gedoen nie 🤣😂 want as ek koud is, vries ek amper…..
Hoeveel keer word jy wakker en voel net nie jou vrolike self nie? Dis iets wat al gebeur het met my – as ek nie lekker geslaap het nie is ek so bietjie meer “Momster” as “Mamma” en grimmig tot ek bietjie beter begin voel en meer wakker word.
But this verse here tells us that Jesus is always the same. No matter what or when, He is the same, waiting for us with arms wide open! Is that not wonderful? To know that He is the same, He does not have moods.
Hy is nie vandag bietjie minder lief vir jou en môre weer bietjie meer nie. Glad nie! En as ons Hom as ons rots in ons lewe het, kan ons nie anders as om stabiliteit te ervaar nie. Ja die lewe gebeur en die golwe probeer ons soms omslaan en kry dit partykeer reg. Maar, met Hom as ons anker, ons middel punt van ons lewe, kan ons nie anders as om staande te bly en weer regop te kom nie.
What a day again! This seems to be a Friday thing…..🤔 anyway. Today’s scripture comes back to the biggest commandment of LOVE. We have to do good and love our enemies….in other words do not do unto them that you do not want to do to yourself.
Ek dink nou nie die versie bedoel jy moet hand om die blaas wees met mense wat jou vyande geag word nie (goeie aarde maar dit klink verskriklik om na mense as vyande te verwys). Kom ons sê eerder mense met wie jy nie so fanstasties oor die weg kom nie. Dis nie nodig om lelik te wees en hulle nie met respek te behandel nie.
You still have to show Jesus to the world, because how else will they get to know Him if everyone treats them with disrespect….? I think the crux of the matter in this verse is to do good without expecting anything back in return.
Dis moeilik, want soms voel ons of ons nekke en rûe gebreek word soos wat jy goed probeer doen, en miskien het jy dalk gedoen wat jy nie moes nie….maak dit sin? Ek wil nou nie sê jy het te veel goed gedoen nie, maar miskien gaan mens te veel uit jou pad om iemand te akkommodeer. Miskien moet jy net as dit oor jou pad kom, en die situasie doen homself voor, goed doen en liefde wys teenoor ander al is jy nie altyd lus nie.
Oh my, does this make sense what I am trying to say here….? I think I may need to chew on this verse too….but also note that God is also good and gracious to the wicked and ungrateful….makes you think does it not? God lets it rain on the wicked people’s crops too….and they live to see another day and get provision even if they don’t necessarily believe….
Die grootste belofte hier is, wanneer ons goed doen teenoor die wat nie glo nie en die wat ondankbaar is, word ons gesien as kinders van God want dis wat Hy doen. Doen kinders nie wat hul ouers doen nie….?
Now I was going to wait until I have used my newly acquired gadget, before blogging about it. But, today’s training session that I attended, just sold it even more to me (the demo last week sold it to me when a simple recon was done in a few seconds). I decided that I MUST write about this, before my enthusiasm flies out the window. Now you are probably wondering WHAT I am going on about? If you are an Accountant or Auditor, continue reading here. If not, well, just continue reading so that you can enjoy my sense of humour in what I experienced during today’s training session.
The invention that I am going on about is called The Audit Toolbar ™. To dumb it down a bit – it is an Excel Plug In that is incorporated in the toolbars of Excel. What this thing does, is, it saves you so much time filtering through data, deleting unwanted rows and cells, to name only a few. It is more aimed at auditing, assisting with things like sample selections, catching out people hiding things in sheets (yes, we can now virtually see everything clients give us), errors in formulae, etc.
Now I am not going to reinvent the wheel here, retyping everything that I have learnt in my two-hour session. The only thing that I do want to say is – Christiaan did virtual pull ups when he was showing us what this toolbar can do with messy data. A pull up is one of the most difficult exercises to do in my opinion. When I attend weekly Cross Fit exercise classes, and either Kerneels or Schwartz (our instructors at Steel Eagle Fitness Gym in Skeerpoort) demonstrate the movement, they make it look so easy.
This was the same for me during today’s training session. Christiaan made it look so easy. I always say that my brain has muscles like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Although after today, I think Christiaan’s brain has more muscle tone than my brain, and rightfully so! This is such an incredible invention! So much time and effort went into this development. Those who think a program just works, think again. It is hours and hours of blood, sweat and tears that go into something like the Audit Toolbar ™.
Having a quick chat with him last week after the demo session of the morning and signing up to purchase the toolbar, I learnt that Christiaan took a huge leap of faith in resigning his full-time job (with a confirmed income also left behind, just by the way) to take on this invention. This was approximately two years ago. Now, he can see the fruit that his labour is bearing. And I must say, I think it is great. It is almost like one of those old cars that have been taken from a rusty and dusty old thing that does not work, to a polished, pretty red car that can move at the speed of light (almost).
Like every newly developed system I expect some teething issues, but, from what I can see on reviews on this product, is that Christiaan is always ready to assist. His aim is to resolve queries within 30 minutes, which I think is also great, because if you have a deadline, stuck with a schedule and need help, you cannot wait for weeks or days for it to be resolved! Christiaan – I truly hope that you will get some sleep and that the 30 minute rule does not apply to issues submitted after hours. Because anyone that has friends that are Accountants and Auditors know that we work strange hours at times…
I look forward to doing my first GL cleanup with this toolbar, actually being able to recover all my time on an engagement. Getting more done in a day/week/month and year. With the pressure we have and with everything going on, such as changes in legislation, anything to assist, will most certainly help and be welcome! Christiaan, from my side – congratulations on a well written and designed product! May you experience God’s favour in abundance, and may He bless you with this new baby that He has entrusted with you.
Ek wou wag tot ek my nuutgevonde gadget wat ek aangekoop het, meer gebruik het voordat ek daaroor skryf. Maar, na vanoggend se opleidingsessie wat ek bygewoon het, het die produk homself net nog meer aan my verkoop (die demonstrasie van laas week het homself aan my verkoop toe ‘n eenvoudige rekonsiliasie in ‘n paar sekondes gedoen word). Ek het besluit dat ek hieroor MOET skryf, voor my entoesiasme by die venster uit vlieg. Nou jy wonder seker waaroor ek aangaan? As jy ‘n Rekenmeester of Ouditeur is, hou aan lees. Indien nie, wel, hou net aan lees sodat jy my sin vir humor kan geniet wat ek ervaar het gedurende vandag se opleidingsessie.
Die uitvindsel wat ek oor aangaan word genoem The Audit Toolbar ™. Om dit so bietjie eenvoudiger te stel – dis ‘n Excel plug in wat in Excel gebruik word as ‘n toolbar. Wat die ding doen is, dit spaar jou soveel tyd om data te filter, ongewensde rye en selle uit te wis, om net ‘n paar te noem. Dis meer gerig op oudits, om te help met goed soos om steekproewe (samples vir die wat nie weet wat ‘n steekproef is nie) te kies, mense uit te vang wat goed wegsteek in skedules (ja, nou kan ons virtueel alles sien wat ‘n kliënt vir ons gee), foute in formules optel, en so meer.
Nou ek gaan nie die wiel hier herontwerp en alles oortik wat ek geleer het in my twee ure sessie nie. Die enigste ding wat ek wil sê is – Christiaan het virtuele pull ups gedoen toe hy vir ons gedemonstreer het wat die ding kan doen met morsige data. ‘n Pull up is in my opinie een van die moeilikste oefeninge om te doen. Wanneer ek weekliks my Cross Fit oefensessies bywoon en Kerneels of Schwartz (die instrukteurs by Steel Eagle Fitness Gym in Skeerpoort) vir ons die beweging demonstreer, laat hulle dit so maklik lyk.
Ek het vandag se inligtingsessie ook so ervaar. Christiaan het dit so maklik laat lyk. Ek sê altyd dat my brein spiere het soos Arnold Schwarzenegger. Maar na vandag, dink ek dat Christiaan se brein meer muscle tone het as my brein, en regtens so! Hierdie is so ‘n wonderlike uitvindsel! Soveel tyd en moeite het in die ontwikkelling hiervan gegaan! Die wat dink dat ‘n program net werk, dink weer. Dit is ure en ure se bloed, sweet en trane wat in iets ingaan soos the Audit Toolbar ™.
Na ‘n vinnige gesprek met hom laas week, na die bekendstelling sessie die oggend en na ek opgeteken het om dit aan te koop, het ek geleer dat Christiaan ‘n massiewe geloofstap geneem het deur sy voltydse werk te bedank (en saam met dit ‘n vaste inkomste ook agter te los net so tussen ons) om hierdie uitvindsel aan te pak. Dit was ongeveer twee jaar gelede. Nou kan hy die vrugte van sy arbeid begin sien. En ek moet sê, ek dink dis wonderlik. Dit is amper soos een van daardie ou karre wat opgeroes is, onder dik lae stof lê en nie werk nie, wat getransformeer word in ‘n blink rooi kar wat teen die spoed van wit lig (amper) kan beweeg.
Soos elke nuwe ontwikkelde sisteem verwag ek ‘n paar geboorte pyne en uitdagings, maar, van wat ek kan sien van kommentaar oor die produk, is dat Christiaan altyd regstaan om te help. Sy doelwit is om navrae binne 30 minute uit te sorteer, wat ek dink wonderlik is, want, as jy ‘n sperdatum het, vasbrand met iets op ‘n skedule, kan jy nie vir weke of dae wag voor die probleem opgelos word nie. Christiaan – ek hoop werklik dat jy slaap sal inkry en dat die 30 minute reël nie van toepassing sal wees vir probleme wat na ure gerapporteer word nie. Want almal wat vriende het wat Rekenmeesters en Ouditeure is, weet dat ons vreemde ure werk soms….
Ek sien uit om my eerste grootboek skoon te maak met hierdie toolbar en om werklik al my tyd op ‘n taak te kan verhaal. Om meer gedoen te kry in ‘n dag/week/maand en jaar. Met die druk wat ons tans het en alles wat aan die gang is, soos veranderinge in wetgewing, sal enige iets wat kan help welkom wees. Christiaan – van my kant af – wel gedaan op ‘n goed geskryfde en ontwikkelde produk! Mag jy God se guns in oorvloed ervaar en mag Hy jou seën met hierdie nuwe baba wat aan jou toevertrou word.
