Wow it's been a while....


And i'm leavin on a jet plane.......on my way out of the country tomorrow.....


I'll be boarding a plane to Singapore where i'll be for about 2 weeks with some of my church family. It's not so much a mission as it is an educational, inspirational trip. The focus is actually paradigm shifting. We've been meeting once a month as a church and to connect with ppl who did unconventional and innovative things - breaking through paradigms - to become successful at what they do (of course your defn of success is important). It's amazing cuz many (all?) biblical leaders had to allow God to break their paradigms in order for Him to do mind-blowing things in and through them - Moses, Elijah, Nehemiah, Paul, Jesus! So we'll be meeting with similar ppl out there...should be exciting....we also gonna hit Malaysia, Indonesia and Korea in the same trip - should be intense!

A Chinese Tea arrangement that my boy's friend served us,

I was fascinated by the size of the cup and all the tea making instruments

ya apart from that things are shaping up. Here at AE i've been working steadily on the film festival; the good thing is that now my workload is spread out among more staff. For a while there i was pulling the whole load on my own - was too much! It's looking good for next year tho - any interested visitors????

My car was in the workshop for a bit; had to do pretty much an overhaul on the engine. That was kind of sad, but at least i was still able to get around using Lerissa's car (luvin respeks!) and it's healthy again. There are a few other things to mess around with on it though....i'll do that after the January blues most likely.




Nelson Mandela's house in the Transkei



What else..........oh, believe it or not i'm playing piano in church! I used to play years ago (over a decade) and didn't remember much. In fact, i wasn't even interested in relearning it. But God is amazing eh? I went to a women's conf our church was hosting and this lady prophesied into my life about how the piano playing ability was laying latent in my fingers - she said she could feel it. So the very next weekend i took a step of faith and began playing for our worship team - God is great and greatly to be praised! Things are happening on that front which is kool cuz it's opened a whole new way of experiencing God in the music....beautiful!



Aight famz, that's all for now! Be strong!

tapfuma, i want to visit in july. for realz. does that work for you? wanna show me around town? and the continent? :)

i love that you gloss over the fact that you were attending a women's conference ;) it's awesome that you are open to having your paradigms challenged by Jesus. it is such an encouragement to see my friends following hard after Jesus.

hope your advent is getting off to a good start... in asia... how exciting!!
