A New Season

It has been a while since my last post, and in the meanwhile, we had a wonderful Christmas and a lovely New Year celebration holiday at home; visiting with family, training, playing, having fellowship and just enjoying Life! The last month we’ve been hard at work in getting all our administrative things in order and in line with our vision for 2010.


I am so impressed with myself; right through this holiday season I’ve stuck to my training program! We were diligently training for the Argus Cycle Race (the biggest of it’s kind in South Africa) in March 2010, unfortunately our electronic entry forms never reached the organisers. Therefore, we decided to skip Cape Town this year and focus on races closer to home. I strongly believe in a healthy lifestyle and for each one of us there is a specific way in which we can become and stay healthy. For us, Cycling and eating the correct foods is our way of enjoying the physical part of life.


Closer to home, we’re experiencing some exciting things. Our youngest son (Warren) started with High School (Grade 8) this year, our middle son (Stephen) brought back home very impressive Matric results and is taking a ‘gap year’ – working at a Golf Pro Shop. He’s continuing his drumming lessons and is very excited about things for this year. Ivan, our eldest started his first year at Varsity, studying B.Comm Financial Management. He’s still playing cricket for his club in the Premier League in Pretoria. Unfortunately he broke his thumb a week ago at a practice session, but soon he will be playing again.


During December we had such an awesome time in the Word of God, the Holy Spirit showed us some awesome things, which I would like to share with you over the coming weeks together with the rest of "In Pursuit of Truth".



This is the time of becoming aware of God's love for you, and I’m serious!! I have shared this with a number of people and they respond in the most peculiar way; as if they had known this all along, but when we really get down to the detail of it – they start to experience the Father’s Love like never before. So, you ain’t see nothing yet guys!! Once you truly understand the Father’s Love for you, you will not, you can not be the same ever again. My prayer for you is the same prayer that Paul had for the Ephesian Church:


Ephesians 3:18-19 "That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; (19) [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [ may have the richest measure of the Divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!"


May this year be the one you have been waiting for your whole life. The year in which you will come to see and understand the meaning of His love, and the practical outflow of that love in your daily life! I pray that you would come to the place of really knowing and understanding what Life is all about, without looking to people or any other distracting thing anymore, but looking to Him, Who is all and in all!
