Uniting Presbyterian Young Women's Fellowship

Today was an emotional day for me and my peers at church. We took yet another oath of being followers of Christ. Another stage of affiliation called the Uniting Presbyterian Young Women's Fellowship. We began another journey of spiritual growth.

We wore our uniform in both excitement and sadness. It was an excitement of wearing a uniform that most young women don't want to be associated with because of many reasons, one being "we are too young to bind ourselves in God's staff, we still want to enjoy life" forgetting that God is always with us wherever we are and deserves to be given all the praise all the time. Who said life can't be enjoyed when you choose God's path? Anyways, It was sad to hear the beautiful messages from the our Miniters' wives who played a big part in this life event. Those women shared beautiful stories and messages that made some to shed tears relating back to their life's experiences. They made a nice analysis of an Eagle's life, I will share the story on my next blog.

It was amazing to see the support we had from our families, friends and our elders at church. It meant a lot to us. I pray to God that it does not end here but be a beginning of something new. I thank Him for this wonderful thing he led us to and the love He has for us. In Jesus name Amen...#Peace

I am blessed.

Me expressing how blessed I am.

It is not often that we speak about how blessed we are but too quick at complaining when we feel like blessings are for others and not for us. I went home from work yesterday feeling blessed to have my family, my job, my friends and every little thing I have. It is not often that we feel blessed to have our jobs but we are very quick at pointing out the things we don’t like about them. It is not often that we feel blessed to go to sleep with a full stomach but it is likely that we complain about never eating at fancy restaurants. Blessings are not about what we feel we deserve but about what we have. I stopped complaining and enjoy the benefits of God's presence in my life. I feel blessed to know that I am blessed on a daily basis. If we can change being negative about our lives then maybe we’ll see and appreciate the blessings we have.  I remember telling my aunt that I live by Matthews scripture that says we mustn’t worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. I claimed that scripture as my percept in life and I feel blessed because God surprises me daily.

Hi, my name is Paballo Seipei and I am blessed.

Selfie with them Zebras!

I was so lucky to come back to work after a weekend of relaxation at home to find Zebras out in the park to be admired. After my experience on Friday, I decided to let go of the hunt and wait for them to come looking for me! *Wishful thinking*. But I found them enjoying the park and decided to take pictures of them, and a selfie of course. They are not as big as I saw them when I was scared and running around with Mpho. I guess I was a little delusional. Anyways, The Zebras in our park are so cute and lovely. Maybe Cute and Lovely should be their names...Oh, I just want to give them big hugs and kisses...*Another wishful thinking.* #sigh

We have Zebra’s at work!

Mpho & I laughing at our childish behaviour

Have I mentioned that I work in a “zoo”? I can’t remember sharing this but I am proud to mention that I do. It’s called the Mogale Business Park. Today the park welcomed two new members, the vulnerable, big Zebras! We didn’t expect such giants, they gave us a fright and we ran separate directions. We were told not to interrupt them, just to give them time to settle in but the curious Mpho and Paballo went on a Zebra hunt. We wanted to take “selfies” with them but they are too agitated, so I decided to take pictures with the friendly ones instead. Hopefully they’ll allow us to take pics after two weeks. I am so excited i can't hide it!

Mpho and I running away from the Zebras lol

Solange the Jay-Z kicker!

The day when Solange slapped Jay-Z

It seems like the attention has shifted from all the Boko Haram or the SA politics stories to Solange the Jay-Z kicker. She is the new trend setter. It’s funny to see her hit Jay-Z like that. The video is astounding, it took me by surprise. I know we have people we tell when things go wrong in our relationships but the thing about this is, when the third person interferes, usually the couple reconciles and that person gets left behind like a douchebag. It doesn’t matter what happens between Jay-Z and Beyoncé but Solange remains the bad person in this. They will continue with their happy lives and she will remain behind like most of all those who like being third people in other people’s relationships. I say, let’s leave people to solve their issues, give them a bit of advice here and there and not expect a miracle to happen out of it. It’s wrong for a man to hit a woman and it’s also wrong for a woman to stay in the relationship but it’s all about choice. All I want to say is that, at the end of it all, the two people who decide what they want are the couple not the third party. So people, “Ditaba tsa batho ba i2 ga di tsenwe!” please!

First Mother's Day present from Bokamoso

 I have always liked the idea of being a mother long before I could have my son. I loved mother's Day and enjoyed making presents for my mom and aunt but now the wheels have turned. This Mother's Day was special, I didn't send any present to my mom or my aunt or even my sister but I was blessed with a present from my son. I know it was a bit selfish of me to just relax but this year was mine. I got my present and I loved it. Happy Mother's Day to all the beautiful Mothers!
