Draai weg / Turn away

Laat ek die daaglikse inskrywings weer probeer. Liewe genade, mens se wêreld word omtrent omver gegooi as siekte besluit om met jou paaie te kruis. Maar dank die Here, ek voel vandag weer beter na behandeling laas week. Elke dag gaan nou weer beter en beter gaan.

So today’s scripture is short and sweet. Simple to read and easy to follow. Turn away from evil, do good and seek peace. I cannot help but think of Miss Congeniality, the movie, where each contestant always answers the rhetorical question they get asked of what their true desire is. The answer? World peace.

Dis in God se woord – gaan soek vrede, en nie hoe nie. Jy moet dit najaag (persue in Engels). Om iets na te jaag, beteken, jy doen dit dag in en dag uit. En dis wragties wat ek probeer doen. Dis nie aldag maklik nie. Veral as jy nie gesond voel nie en medisyne wat soos gif is, deur jou are kry nie. Maar, ek probeer!

So here we are, my first official entry for 2024. What are you going to persue? World peace as they say in the pageants? 💪 let’s do this day! ™

The last day of radiation for Sharney

Soooooo most of you know by now that I talk to strangers in weird places 😂🤣

These people I met today and could not help but congratulate them on this achievement – it is her last day of radiation today as the shirts proudly proclaim.

Sharney, I am elated with you for this wonderful news!!! Keep on spreading the awareness….

Die woord / The word

Het jy al ooit gewonder waar kom wysheid vandaan? Dink jy dis jy of iets anders? Ek weet wysheid kom van God af. Hierdie vers bevestig dit, dat Sy woord in ons moet woon in ALLE wysheid.

Not partial wisdom or 10% wisdom. No in ALL wisdom which to me implies 100% wisdom….we are also instructed to teach each other and to correct each other with psalms and praises. Not by shouting, yelling or out of own insight.

Dawid het meeste van Psalms geskryf (daar was een wat deur Moses geskryf was sover ek weet en iets wat ek onlangs geleer het). Nou Dawid het sy hart oopgemaak teenoor die Here. As hy gewonder het waar sy hulp vandaan kom, of as hy angstig was.

There is a reason the writer of this verse refers to Psalms in this scripture and I think it is to remind us that we are only human. If we were perfect we would not need Jesus, but we strive to become more holy and like Christ on a daily basis.

Wanneer jy Psalms lees sien jy so te sê al Dawid se emosies. Tog draai hy heeltyd terug na God toe. As hy angstig gevoel het, soek hy sy hulp by God. As hy teneergedruk was – soek hy God. So kan ek deur al die emosies gaan.

Then this scripture talks about singing praises and showing gratitude towards God. And those praises are also written in Psalms….wow, how wonderful is it not to know that even if you feel at your lowest low, you can turn to God. He is always there for you no matter how blue you feel.

Die belangrikste van alles is om dankbaar te wees vir alles. En om God te eer altyd. Dis wat ek probeer doen. Ongeag my omstandighede, ongeag hoe ek voel wanneer ek behandeling kry. Ek weet ek kan altyd na God draai, Hom loof en prys met dankbaarheid.

💪🏻let’s do this day! ™️

Follow up sonar

Praise the Lord! Went for a follow up sonar at Prof Joseph and the one lymph node has shrunk in size, as well as the lump itself. The other lymph node seems to be unchanged. All of this is good news!

We forgot to take a pic at the Breast Clinic but took one in the car on the way home….and yes I missed the flamingo on my shirt again 🙈

The one with the hair (again)…

So this is just a brief thing to share what is happening on my journey.

A proper blog entry will follow, as this truly deserves an entry, because again – it is not just hair.

The kids’ reaction was priceless as was my husband’s.

Her name is Rachel and she will be with me for the next few months….I did not realise that I needed hair. I really thought I was ok without it, and I was.

But when I put her on, it just did something for me, something I did not realise that was missing, something that will help to get through this – in the physical of course.

And a big special thanks to a special friend….thanks Lorinda! I appreciate you so much more than you will ever know!

Die pad / The path

Vandag se bybelvers in die Afrikaanse weergawe voel amper bietjie Grieks vir my. Te hoog vir my brein om te verstaan. Toe gaan kyk ek maar wat sê die Amplified weergawe net om seker te maak…..

Luckily the Amplified version made more sense to me. Not sure if my brain is just tired or what, but anyway. This explains it a bit better though. When you learn from instruction and correction, then you are on the right path.

Dit dien ook as voorbeeld en stigting vir ander. Om reg te leef en in God se Wil te beweeg help ander om daarna te streef. Maar dan kry jy diegene wat dit net ignoreer. Soos die Afrikaanse gesegde lees – Van die wal af in die sloot in.

That is what happens to those who do not listen to God’s instructions and do not make themselves open for correction. This too is seen by others and I suppose we can say used as an example to others of what not to do.

Watter pad volg jy? Staan jy op die wal of in die sloot? Laat mens so bietjie dink nê….?

Being led / Om gelei te word

So today I decided that I must find my rhythm again. In between what feels like chaos, being sick for a week every 21 days. The days that I do not feel sick are the days that I must try to find some normality in my life. And the first way to do it, is to write the daily scripture and my thoughts on it.

So, ek voel so bietjie onfiks wat dit aanbetref, maar hier gaan ek. Iets wat ek nou al geleer het om te bid, is, dat God se waarheid geopenbaar sal word en dat Hy my en my gesin sal lei en leer, om te doen wat Hy wil hê dit is wat ons moet doen.

Little did I even begin to think or know that this is a scripture in the Bible. I also noted that David waited expectantly on God, the whole day long. Something I have also come to learn is this – God never fails and God is always terribly on time.

Hoe wonderlik is al hierdie dinge, wat ek in my gees ervaar het oor soveel jare nie net nie? En die feit dat dit in een Bybelvers vervat is, nog soveel te meer!

💪🏻let’s do this day! ™️

The friends in the shirts

So I have friends, who, out of their own said they will wear these shirts when I go for treatment….some are still waiting for their shirts (these are hand made so they take longer to get out)…..

Dankie vir elke een wat my ondersteun op hierdie manier. Ek waardeer dit so baie!!!

And I cannot tag them on socials! But they know who they are!!!

The One Without the Hair

And so the next chapter begins….

The One without the hair….

En NEE dis nie NET HARE NIE. Dankie vir almal wat probeer ondersteun deur dit te sê, maar dis meer as dit.

Only once you have gone through this will you fully understand and even then I don’t think our brains (those going through this) can even begin to comprehend what is happening….

En ja ek kort rooi lipstick om die GI Jane look af te rond 😉 net jammer ek kan nie nou burpees doen nie….en jammer die lyf kom nie saam met die afgeskeerde hare soos Demi Moore sinne nie….

The last one with hair (probably)…..

Today I twisted Heinrich’s arm….he snuck away from his laptop (which he was tied to by the way since my first treatment) and we went for a Wimpy breakfast……how lovely…..

This will probably be the only photo with me with hair this short….it is falling out a lot now and the next step will be to shave it all off to get some relief from the pain (it feels like when your hair is tied up too tight….)

So geniet maar die laaste een van my met hare….ek weet nie hoeveel hare teen Maandag oor gaan wees wanneer ek die volgende behandeling moet doen nie…..
