About Me

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.

Brett's Fun and Fabulous 40th

Believe it or not, I have still not yet got to working out how to get the photo's my sis and I took from our US holiday from my ipad onto my pc ... so today I am posting all the beautiful pics I took of my handsome island boy's 40th birthday bash almost 2 weekends ago :0) Inspired by our amazing holiday in Mauritius ... we went island for the evening. And look at what a blessed woman I am!
This is my handsomeness looking too hot to handle ;0) 
 And this is me getting to snuggle that handsome man! Yay for me - hee hee ;0) 
My sweet little girls helped get things ready and looked the perfect part don't you think :0)
 My beautiful Leelee.
 My beautiful Tianna.
And what all follows is a bunch of some really precious friends who came out to celebrate my wonderful man!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Even the kiddies had their besties over for the festivities.

In between all the festive fun, our precious friends Neil and Mandi blessed Brett with one of Neils masterpieces. So blessed!
 
 
Then it was time to get stuck into supper! 
Then we tackled the speeches. It blessed my heart so much to hear such warm words of love being poured out on my precious man. He is a pillar of strength and such a faithful man who loves God and loves people. It makes me smile to remember how much these words meant to him. 
 
 
 
  It was so cool for Brett to have his best mates all together to celebrate this milestone. 
 
What a wonderful evening! Such joy watching him take it all in. 
 
  If this is his entry to 40 ... bring it on baby!!
And that's it from me for today. Thank goodness I still have 5 years to plan mine ;0) hee hee
Love Janine xxx

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 vic...

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.
