Welcome to my little writing corner. I count my many blessings to be a cherished wife and an ever-learning-loving-growing mother to 3 amazing children this side of Heaven and a precious little boy in Heaven. Together as a family we pastor a precious church community called Redeeming Hope Church. I've had the privilege of loving and following Jesus Christ since my earliest memories as a child. No matter what I've gone through in life, He has always been so present. At heart, I'm an encourager ... so this is a place where I get to wear my heart on my sleeve and share my journey of learning to live a life of love in action.

A most blessed week in every way!

Oh my gracious ... this week has truly been filled with the most beautiful memories. Here's my look back at a week filled with precious highlights ...
On Monday we found out that out we are pregnant with our third child! It was so awesome to find out just in time to tell my sweet firstborn on her 10th birthday on Tuesday :0) The girls are over the moon!!!
Boy did my Tianna love all our spoil-ies! I just love this treasure girls heart. She appreciates so very much!
 On Friday I had my turn to be spoilt rotten! I still cannot believe that I am 34!
I was so humbled by all the messages, surprises, visits and love poured out from those so dear to my heart. 
Seeing as my big girl and I share the same birthday week - she chose some of her special friends and I took them off to a day of movies, fun rides and yummy treats. 
By the end of the arvie I needed to put my feet up! I got to have my own "party" with a few of my sweet friends & family over supper at a fun family friendly restaurant. 
And as if I hadn't been spoilt enough, yesterday my handsome hubby surprised me with a night away ... just the two of us! It will always be a little adventure I will never forget. We packed the bags and drove out of town to the loveliest get-away. 
I have the most beautiful pictures to share with you next week of our time away. Here's a pic of the two of us at our little get-away. It was the perfect ending to the most precious week. My heart is blessed beyond measure.
May you have the most beautiful week ahead. Sending you all my love xxx
Janine

What a lovely retrospective in a world where people rarely are thankful for the simple things or the people in their lives.

Thanks for sharing and putting a smile on my face!

Reasons to Celebrate

I am quickly typing this in between trying to pack up for Cape, and while packing I am having this to celebrate :0) What to celebrate you may ask ... well you would be amazed at how many amazing blessings you will discover of how good God has been to you when you start looking back and remembering what He has walked you through. Today I am celebrating many wonderful things! I am celebrating how no matter how dark certain moments have appeared to be, His light has ALWAYS broken through!!! Hope & Love have ALWAYS overcome the deepest of fears.  I am celebrating the precious family He has surrounded Brett and I with and the amazing friends and loved ones who have cheered us on and been praying us through. I celebrate how He has cocooned both my daughters hearts with the same peace He has cocooned Brett and my heart with and sheltered our precious family in constant hope of abundant life! I celebrate that as an extended family He has faithfully taught us all how to walk in victory

We are Seeing the Miracles Unfold!

Precious friends and family ... we are starting to see the miracles unfold! We just KNOW that we are living in the miracle :0) Yesterday we had a scan with the specialist who discovered and diagnosed all of Zac's heart defects in August. It's been about 6 weeks since the day we heard the horrible news. As you may remember, the defects she discovered that day in "that" heart were so complex ... not only one defect, but multiple! There was the issue of only 1 chamber; only seeing one major valve from the heart to the lungs where there must be 2 and then the complication of not being able to clearly see the arch of the aorta. What she saw of it, as well as  several other specialists, it looked too narrow and underdeveloped from what we could understand. When we came back from that first scan and spoke with our friend and paediatrician ... this was one of his biggest concerns. The aortic arch is so important in the functioning of the heart!  So before we went for the

The Day of Promise has Arrived

Precious friends ... The big day has finally arrived! Come 4pm today we will be taken into theater to meet our precious miracle son! Our hearts are filled with the Promises of our Beloved Jesus. This post is our hearts response of praise and adoration to Him because He has faithfully carried us through each day with "heart peace", strength, hope, faith and incredible love. He has coached us in how to stand leaning into His Almighty power, wisdom and goodness and has taken all the fear out of this journey. Today our hearts are soooooo excited. It is the day of promise ... Zac's appointed day to shine forth His Glory. As a family we want to thank each and every person and family who has lavished their love, encouragement and prayers to stand with us in looking to Jesus, the Great Physician in knitting Zac's inward parts intricately and wholly in my womb. We will keep you posted as we rejoice in great expectation at witnessing God's amazing love in action! Our eyes
