oh what He's done for me, I am gonna tell everyone of what He has done for me.

oh the Lord has been so good. Actually dear blog, I do not like using such expressions. I prefer saying: the Lord IS good.

It has been an amazing couple of weeks. I know I have been quiet for  a while,in fact my last entry was on the night of my birthday. I wish I had put down more on that night but the excitement and the festivities of the day had worn me out and I resolved to rest instead. It was a beautiful time. I am so grateful.

What have I been up to?
Where to even begin ...

Well as you know the weekend of my birthday was actually the beginning of the varsity vacation. I spent the winter break in Cape Town doing a month long course in Company Law (actually the results just came out yesterday, and they were so distinct).  I love the winter here, my philosophy is simply: be as close to the London weather as possible.The wind, the rain and the dark clouds turn me into a "toasted coconut marshmallow" anytime. Cape Town definetely gets the tick. Perhaps it's the romance associated with the weather *smiles*, or the idea (fed to us by American movies) of cuddling up to a blanket on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate ( or rooibos in my case). Whatever the motivation, cuddle I did. I would say I spent most of my break watching series and movies. Ofcourse I was able to fit in some study time as well as that awesome road trip with Lukey. Good times I tell you!

Looking back on the break that has now gone by so fast I can easily say: I had a great time. I have some great lessons in-scripted somewhere on my mind. Important of which is the lesson of respecting time. Time is indeed a commodity, the time we have to spend with  people should be spent in love because we may not get the opportunity again.The bible speaks of "...redeeming the time..."  (Ephesians 5:16). Using time effectively is so vital particularly in these last days, people need to hear about these good news of what Jesus has done. These good news have to be taken to the ends of the earth.

Despite having enjoyed spending time watching series and movies, these thoughts about using time effectively began to help me reconsider how I use mine time, and the things I choose to invest it in. I began to reflect on the form of information I expose myself to (and its source), and how it affects me. During mid-week service Pastor made a profound statement, she said: "the only adjustment we need to make for success is to change the source of our information" . We spend our life time feeding on information.

With this knowledge in mind I was inspired to do an 8-week course with my church known as Foundation School , which seeks to teach the foundational truths on the New Life we received when we were born again. This has been my 3rd week in the programme and I can say just reading through the manual and making use of the prescribed material has been so life changing. I would equate it to being catapulted to another level in the spirit realm, making strides in the spiritual realm.

I have learnt so much about what I have received from the God through Christ. Jesus didnt just die! He was raised from the dead. And I have a new life in Him, I was not reformed. I am a new man, I have anew life. The old man (me) died with Christ and I was raised to a new life. I am alive to God! Hallelujah!

Oh what he has done for me ...  I am gonna tell everyone of what He has  done for me.
