As most of you know, I have taken my time to settle into this new life of ours. New job, new church, new, new new everything, and much to my surprise I am not as flexible as I might have wanted myself to be. But the good news is that finally Slough is my home and the coffee shop is my job and I AM indeed the pastors wife, oh and the even though our home still smells funny, I am use to it. I don't cringe every time I realise that the smell isn't going anywhere. Today, I spoke to one of my very pregnant friends, she is due in 3 weeks. I got so exited. Realising that there will be a time where I too will only have a couple of weeks to go! I can't wait! This baby, or dare I say boy, I call the little thing my boy, I am convinced it is a little man. I may be pleasantly surprised if it was to be a little lass, but my gut feeling is saying blue shoes. (sorry ma albrecht) 32 Degrees today, I got a nice tan and it is lovely being to hot! It doesn't happen often. We live in a...

So we had the privilege of having our first scan of Granie today. It was absolutely amazing! He/ she was so active and we could see his hands and feet and everything. Almost unbelievable... Please click here  to see the photo.

I've added a few pages to the blog. As you can see there are a few tabs at the top, which will take you to these pages. I've just added some photo's of Suzanne's new place of work, which is in Windsor and is really beautiful.

The slogan that's been running through my mind lately. I think many people have bad connotations to the word 'revival'. Maybe because the world has seen some weird stuff in the name of revival or maybe because people are afraid of change. The way I see it, though, revival basically means new life... and we need a lot of new life in the world. God has been doing amazing things in and through our church. To be 100% honest, I'm surprised! I know I shouldn't be, I mean, He's good and He wants to show Himself strong on our behalf. But we're just a few people stumbling over our feet... so, we expect those kinds of results. And that's what I love about His kingdom, the fact that He uses people like us, that we have the Spirit of the living God inside our puny bodies, the love and power to face and change every kind of evil that befalls ourselves and those around us! At home things are good. A friend gave us a little baby suit yesterday and Suzanne is super ...

I will only know how far pregnant I am by this Friday, so I think I am 11 or 10 weeks 10 weeks Congratulations! Your embryo is now called a fetus, which means "offspring". She is about 3.1cm long from crown to rump and weighs less than 4g. She may be small, but she's very active, swallowing fluid and kicking her new limbs. Her vital organs – liver, kidneys, intestines, brain and lungs – are fully formed and functional, while her head is almost half the length of her entire body. Her forehead temporarily bulges and sits high on her head, but later will change into a more baby-like feature. If you could take a look at your baby, you'd be able to see some exciting details, such as fingernails and peach-fuzzy hair. The outline of her spine is clear to see, too. Spinal nerves stretch out from the spinal cord. And it's not just your baby who's growing. Your uterus (womb) is now the size of a grapefruit. You may even be able to feel it above the middle of your ...

This week I started working at the chocolate theatre company. A pastry chef, who has won many many awards has opened up his life long dream of a chocolate coffee shop. We bake a variety of about 30 different cakes and treats. We also sell a list of about 15 different hot chocolates all made from real chocolate buttons! Our food is just a wide variety of friendly sandwiches, but all in all it is a very popular little place. I am a part time manager there, even though the staff have all been there for years and they manage me,  I have the privilege of overseeing the day. It has been quite a adjustment to stand on my feet for 9 hours again, but luckily we are so busy, I almost don't feel it. This little baby in my tummy is most definitely going to be a healthy active one, seeing that I haven't given the poor thing a moment of just being, I am up and about, which I am very grateful for. Great news is that we have managed to change our scan date to this Friday!!!! I am so happy, ...
