ordinary peopleInside a box	StickyFebruary 5, 2014The words Canvas
Have you ever felt as though you live inside a box? Squashed into a square tube forced to look through others tunnel vision?
Have you ever wished you could just be alone? Sitting on a deserted beach with the wind playing through your hair. No one around you just nature, the sound and smell of the sea? Or in a forest surrounded by trees and chirping birds and other animal sounds. Embraced by the honesty of nature.
Why do I feel as though I’m the only one who see the uselessness of our days? I look around me and all I see is people who don’t want my spirit to be free.
How to react. You smile at people who seem to think your oblivious to what they don’t say.
“Take me away. Don’t remind me of night and day. Take me away. Away from masks and insecurity. Away from power play. Just away.” Just take me away. Away from politics, riots, murder, traffic, hustle of relationships that are full of lies……
These boring conversations comparing so called worldly knowledge. Have you ever felt as though you live inside a box? Squashed into a square tube forced to look through others tunnel vision?

ordinary people-read the pic- it says it all-	StickyDecember 18, 2013The words Canvas
Why do some people think they have a right to make assumptions of your life? To judge, comment, gossip, spread rumors? Because some of them probably are sorry for taking you for granted when they had a chance to be in your life. Because their lives don’t shout total freedom. Because their lives are empty. Or simply because when they talk about you the spotlight is taken off them for a while. Maybe you where a doormat for so long they got use to stepping on you.
Once you stood up and fought your worth they saw your beauty and your glow and they missed their cute little doormat. Today’s thought is simple……
Life’s circle is fair.
what is given to you will be fair.
Sometimes its not fair…….
But what you make out of it, is what counts…
Some of us are fighters, strong woman, vigilant in fighting for what we want. Even when others prejudice remarks is meant to break you down,
You still manage to smile, rise and stand tall. So today celebrate being a woman.
Celebrate being able to rise out of the ashes.
Celebrate being able to wear heels.
Celebrate being able to show what your made of. Rise, shine, smile ……
Love even if you have been hurt.
Enjoy each day… As it is given as a gift. Don’t listen to judgmental remarks of those who’d love to see you fail. Xxxx The words Canvas Standard

Life pushing you back to first gear,
Throwing your naked soul to the ground,
Flying like a spear,
Grinding teeth, blood splatters,
Dream bubbles popping,
All that’s beautiful shatters,
Demonic anger in his eyes,
Not hearing your painfull cries,
Pushing, shoving, his anger loving,
This war I come home to,
Pushing, shoving, shouting,
Blood splatters, watching mom suffer,
Anger, frustration, pain,
Filling my soul in this war,
We have nothing to gain,
Everyday broken promises,
The same old feeling of gloom,
listening to mom’s angry-painfull screams,
Wishing I could end it all,
Just end this aching, weak feeling,
All this happening all over again,
This must be some dark dream,
Hearing myself scream,
Blood splatters, grinding teeth,
And my children watch,
As their mother bleed.

*The dagger to goodness*
The dagger is one of history's most infamous tools. This short double edged blade has been used in close combat for centuries. St peter used a dagger to slice off the ear of a roman soldier on the night Jesus was captured. Ceaser was stabbed over 23 times by his closest allies.
The dagger is paradoxical symbol. Its small size and easy ability to be hidden makes it often associated with duplicity and treachery.
The dagger is a concealed or hidden weapon. *The connection*
Searching for the connection today I saw this in my minds eye. For a minute imagine the “goodness” in you taking on a outerbodilly form. Facing the “not so good in you”. Faced with the goodness in you what do you do? You take your hidden dagger and stab the goodness?
My connection between the two might be a bit confusing but let me explain.
No person would ever want to deliberately destroy the goodness in themselves nor the goodness in their marriage.
But by choosing to hide the truth from your spouse and choosing to be unfaithful you are committing “goodness murder.” “https://berdie75.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/11120unfaithfulness1.jpg”>
As if your deliberately stabbing the “goodness” facing you in outer bodily form. The goodness symbolizing all that God intended for a marriage. Breaking the unity,
Crushing the person you vowed to cherish, honor and respect?
Unknowingly you are letting a third party into your Godly union with your spouse.
This creates an opening for all the negative things to enter your holy union formed before God.
In the modern age we have tended to reduce the notion of hypocrisy to duplicity. The modern notion is a person who says one thing but does another. A person who is two faced, inconsistent or phony. Playing the duplicate role of loving spouse and unfaithful partner, creates the characteristic “duplicity”.
Stabbing your role of faithful trustworthy partner. Not only are you deliberately killing all that’s good in yourself but you are literally squeezing your partners heart as if you want to squeeze the life out of them.
Your stabbing your partner in the back.
All that was promised….broken.
All that was intended to flourish….is now destroyed. Unfaithfulness is the dagger to goodness….
Your handing Satan this double edged tool as if your giving him permission to destroy the person you say you love….
The bible gives us a wonderful marriage guide.
1 corinthians 7 verse 1- 40
Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” 2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control
The person who shares your life…
Who believes you are true….
Believes everything you say….
Who naively believes they are your one and only….
One act can destroy all that’s beautiful.
But as we read the bible we have hope.
If we confess our sins and live a clean, honest life we have hope.
With god’s love all is not lost.
You can win back that person’s heart.
And for a lucky few..
They are forgiven..
*Thought for the day.*
Never hurt others for the wheel of life is fair and your turn will come.
Always be faithful, love with all your might. God is a fair and faithful God. He protects His flock.
Never soothe your ego with anothers pain for the layers of your lies will soon start to show.

ordinary peopleLife’s scraped knee’s	StickyOctober 28, 2013The words Canvas
I’m sure all of us are familiar with a scraped knee. As youngster we use to fall and scrape our knees way to often to forget. In adulthood our scraped knees turn inward and life tries to teach us important maturely lessons…
We sometimes learn a lesson and get up again and our scraped knee heals. As when we where young it sometimes took a few falls and a few scraped knees before we learned not to run without looking where we’re going, to listen when we where warned to watch where we’re going. But as adults its as if we just don’t turn the page we keep playing our fall over and over again. We scratch open our healing scraped knee and refuse to learn the lesson. So life keeps repeating the fall keeps repeating the scraped knee until we one day have a break through and realize we need to change. We all have been stuck on one page, have been falling in the same place and we all have asked ourselves
“why on earth does this keep happening to me?”
Most of the time we’ve been blind staring at the answer.
Just like when you where young and kept running down the stairs when mum has told you so many times not to and you keep falling down those same stairs because you just don’t listen.
Just the same in adulthood we keep making the same mistakes, wrong choices, poor judgment. Our scraped knee’s don’t heal because we don’t change. We don’t stop and think maybe we need to do things differently. Sometimes things need to go wrong.
So that they can go right again. Sometimes life needs to be cruel so that life can be kind. So that when we stop and decide to change we can enjoy the view!
Believe me its beautiful at the top! Especially after you get up and change your page. Posted from WordPress for BlackBerry.
ordinary peopleThe myth of time travel.	StickyOctober 26, 2013The words Canvas
A thought ruled by time can be expressed only in myth.”
Have you ever wished you could clinb into some scientifically created machine. Travel back in time and meet your younger self? Pour some knowledge and wisdom into her brain. Tell her that life is not fair, that everybody’s not always good. Give her a heads up and keep yourself from making stupid mistakes.
Maybe even give her your bitch guide on how to tell when someone’s trying to sugar coat their lies.
If you could change the course of your path. Keep yourself from being hurt, used, stepped on. Tell your younger self to appreciate your parents more, to avoid wrong decisions. But being realistic this isn’t possible!
And even if it was possible do we really want to change things which has taught us so much? Has given us wisdom. Things that has shaped us into the powerful beings we are today. If we stopped all those things from happening. How then would we be able to give our children advice, help them, guide them?
Without experience. Life teaches us these lessons in order to prepare us for our future. If we aren’t mature enough we would not be able to handle our current everyday situations. We would be ignorant to certain situations and we would not have the depth we have from learning the hard way. We would inevitability make those mistakes even with time travel.
Because we would not know how to recognize the wrong choice. “ignorance”
Wisdom is taught through mistakes.
I say we need to make mistakes and trust the wrong people, in order to grow.
We need pain,
Just as much as we need love…..
The one can’t be appreciated without the other. Information on time travel:
the worried heartShe’s got her running shoes on	StickyOctober 18, 2013The words Canvas
Have you ever heard the saying “when a woman has her running shoes on she’s always going to keep running”?
😦 sadly this has been a term we’ve all been all to familiar with. Which we have experience in. Honestly until recently I didn’t really understand why. We all experience pain through our lives. We are faced with pain sometimes so unbearable you want to hide inside yourself. Loosing a lot and being rejected and hurt. You tend to clam up and build walls not everyone can get through. Then…..
You meet someone you instantly want to belong to.
You find yourself wanting to heal, wanting what you see around you each day.
You place your heart on a platter exposing that which you so much want to protect.
Protect from being crushed…..
You place your faith in someone who is only human….
Someone with faults as we all have…
Someone who is also hurting….
Who is also worried…..
Whom also has walls build so high it takes time to climb over….
Two broken individuals trying to move on, trying to mend that which has been broken….
You as a woman who’s been hurt..
Feel so weak..you feel needy…
You feel silly….you are constantly reminded that you don’t have a guarantee he won’t stop wanting you,
Won’t stop needing you,,,,
Your insecurities take over and you see him pulling away,, you feel his silence,, see his deep thoughts,,,
Watch him giving lesser and lesser of himself….
See him not saying what’s on his mind…
Watch him as you get the feeling he needs space?…..
That’s when you start to ache for what you had in the beginning. When his eyes smiled as he looked at you…
When he shared a moment with you..
When you felt connected to him…
Now all you feel is alone,,,,,
Then at some moment the strain that has been building up in your relationship explode…
And you fight..
You say things that should never have been said….
And you reach deep down in your soul to that part of you that you thought you buried,,you reach out to that strong,cold woman who took control when you felt so damn weak!….
And she hands you the “running” shoes…
Running from the one thing you so much wanted…
You clam up and close yourself -no one gets through- no one…..
This a result of being hurt and lied to so many times…
Not an excuse I know..
What that womans eyes see is this..
He needs space,,,he doesn’t want me around…I’m in his way….
He is only being polite that cold politeness you give to people you tolerate out of kindness….
The one thing the woman in his life shouldn’t get,,,he’s polite kindness,,,
He’s neighborly conversations,,,,
You are the one who shares his bed shouldn’t you be the one who receives his best? His love..
His honesty,,, Why then does he make you feel as though he wants you to run again just so that he can miss you all over again?
Marriage isn’t a game,,its not a sometime,,when I’m bored time..
Its a promise you made before God.
To cherish,love and protect each other.
When somethings get in the way and we feel distance between our partners and ourselves,,,
We shouldn’t assume,
We shouldn’t guess,
Putting on our running shoes because were scared just isn’t the answer..
We don’t gain anything from it but pain…
We should try and listen to each other.
Love is a everlasting promise of friendship….
Mistakes are to be made..
Were only human….
Forgiveness is the key putting away the running shoes

Love found & lostfeeling separated	StickyOctober 18, 2013The words Canvas
* battling to pray* Have you ever experienced a day when you simply feel separated from God?
When you have a heavy feeling and your troubles seem to burden you more than they usually do?
When the pain of being hurt, turmoil, sorrow just seems to heavy to carry?
You feel all the wrong feelings and have trouble smiling. You feel alone, forgotten, forsaken. You kneel to pray but your heart is overlaid with worry. You don’t feel “connected”. Your words are hard to find. And everything is just to much?
There’s a guide to help us know what to do when we feel this way. When we doubt our faith and we can’t seem to pray. *psalm* 46: 10 *
*Joshua* 1:5 *
“no man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses; so I will be with you. I will not forsake you. I’ve had days where my pain and burdens has been to much where I think “Lord I can’t do this. Its to heavy to carry”. be still and know that I AM GOD! A simple answer a guide. When we feel heavy Jesus wants us to meditate in prayer, to be silent, to listen to His voice. He wants to calm us. Thus when we feel we can’t pray we battle, we feel separated from Him. We need to be silent and remind ourselves. “be still and know that I am God”
-Referring to my piece on depression-
Jesus can relate when we feel “heavy” when we feel lost, broken, forgotten…..
What a wonderful God we serve! So today 🙂 if you feel heavy, burdened, lost,…..
Jesus wants you to cry on His shoulder, He wants to remind you how much He loves you!
No matter how heavy our burdens get,
He will help us carry them!
He will never forsake us Posted from WordPress for BlackBerry.
ordinary peopleBitterness	StickyOctober 11, 2013The words Canvas
You know what its doing to you but yet you still choose not to forgive and “get over it”. You are letting the poison work! *lets have a look at bitterness*
When we are young they teach us to forgive. We are taught to love our neighbors, to honor our parents. And when we are young its kind of easy to do. As you grow older life knocks you around. Optimists will argue that these trials are life lessons and that every dark cloud has a silver lining.
What about unspeakable, unfair, injustice? Things that happen to the innocent? And what about things that hurt so much that you hold on to anger and hurt? Unlike when you where young you just can’t seem to get past what the person or persons has done to you.
So you don’t forgive. You hold on to those emotions. Simply because you are angry and you feel what they did is unforgivable. This is where the bitterness settles in. Bitterness is like a deadly poison. It slowly starts to kill you from inside.
Making it impossible to move on and “get over it” *The antidote *
How do we let go of bitterness you ask? I’m going to use a very important book as a guide. The bible. *ephesians 4: 31-32
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you. *proverbs 15:1
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. *proverbs 20:22
Do not say ” I will repay evil” wait for the Lord and He will deliver you. * Matthew 6:14-15
For if you forgive others their trespasses your heavenly father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses. The bible clearly states that we should “strive for peace”, that we should forgive. Forgiving doesn’t make you weak!
Being bitter is not the answer! Bitterness roots deeply and causes the. Poison to work. Why would we deliberately poison ourselves when we can “let go” and be free? *Hebrews 12:14-15

Written by: Bernadette Du Toit. For mom.
RIP: 1954-2013 Knelt in prayer,
That God would be their savior,
Call upon God each child by name,
While tears softly her face frame,
Plead with Jesus,
That deep in their hearts He sees,
To keep them safe as her children leaves,
Even though her heart is bruised,
Her tears land safely,
On bible pages,
Does no one see her tears?
As she worships and praise through sorrow fountains,
Jesus sees each one,
This precious woman to them He gave,
He sees a mothers sorrow,
Safely He catches her tears,
Each one he frames,
Each one given a name,
God’s iris flower,
Picked, given to her children,
On Jesus shoulder she rests,
As she tries to teach
Them of His love,
Faithful and yielding,
As she weeps for her children.

Watch, stand fast in faith, be brave, be strong. Only medication soothes these emotions and at times even not.
one emotion that wipes away sadness is joy. Creating your own depressive world has made you onlt concentrate on “you”. When you voice your problem,
Prayer and faith. Proverbs17:22
But a broken spirit dries the bones Knowing you are not alone breaks depression and bit by bit you heal.
The bible shows clearly that Jesus can relate to our depression. Hebrews 12:2,3
Love found & lost, UncategorizedJealousy * the cancer in a relationship *	StickyOctober 7, 2013The words Canvas
The cancer in a relationship.
But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, self-control, against such there is no law.
I’m sure all of us have met the little green monster. That little bit of negative emotion that later transforms into the killer in any relationship, if not dealt with. We are all human and we are weak at times. We hurt the ones we love. (sometimes unknowingly)
There’s nothing that hurts more than that feeling of self-doubt when our partner starts to show signs of un-trust. The emotions that follow starts with constantly having to reassure him/her that you are faithful. Constantly worrying if he/she believes you. Not knowing if your spouse is even happy. How can you be truly happy if you constantly doubt your better half?
Marriage is not only a sacred bond but a life long friendship meant to grow and flourish. We are meant to support, compliment and care for each other.
The moment the cancerous emotion (jealousy) enters that bond there is a crack.
This spreads like cancer and grows.
And slowly kills what is beautiful and sacred.
For jealousy is a husbands fury; therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
The spouse is left feeling hopeless, despondent and crippled.
Many may argue and say a little jealousy is good for a relationship.
But to its extend….
When meant to protect..
But jealousy in a darker form takes hold of all emotions, thoughts and starts to control you.
Your loving, happy emotions are replaced with constant doubt, suspicion, undeserved anger and resentment towards your somewhat innocent “best friend”.
Pride takes over and you find yourself constantly fighting and accusing each other.
Idolatry,sorcery,hatred,contentions,jealousy,outburst of wrath,selfish ambitions, dissensions,heresies.
But if you have bitter envy and self seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.
This wisdom doesn’t descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.
This forms a pattern and with time it becomes a habit. One spouse always explaining, nervous, anxious, hurt….
The other always thinking negative for example..” he/she is alone all day. How do I know what he/she is up to?”
“he/she isn’t being truthful, I know he/she is lying”
constantly, secretly checking his/her phone. Throwing hints “I saw the way he looked at you”. “why did it take you so long to answer the phone?”
With time attempting to reconnect takes effort because of the state your heart is in.
The bible clearly says what love should be!!! 1 corinthians 13;4-8
Love suffers long and is kind,love does not envy,love does not parade itself, is not puffed up,
Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the TRUTH, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, love never fails.
Husbands love your wives just as Christ also loved the church and He is the savior of the body.
Wives submit to your own husbands as to the Lord. If both partners are looking for ways to make the others life the best it can be,
They will not allow thoughts of adultry, jealousy to even enter their lives.
1 peter 3;7
And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Forgiveness is the key.
We should never let any disease like emotion grab hold of anything God has put together.
Jealousy is not from God.
Its a cancer that eats away.
But unlike cancer……
It can be cured……
With unconditional love!!

Originally from Pennsylvania America Sam walked a path not so different from a lot of youngters but he’s story has a wonderful twist to it. He was a troubled teen and always use to get into trouble. He later became a armed guard (shotgunner) for drugdealers. He later met Lynn who became he’s wife. As time progressed he started to distance himself from his former life meanwhile he’s wife started going to church again. He got work at a construction company and their life prospered despite he’s continued drug and alcohol abuse. Sam began to re-establish his relationship with God and began a life as a Christian. Their lives began to prosper and soon Lynn gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Sam started his own construction company and upon his preacher who urged him to join a mission program to help repair huts damaged in conflict. In 1998 Sam went to the village of Yei in Southern Sudan. They where in the midst of second sudanese war and Sam witnessed a child been blown up by a landmine. He pledged to God to do whatever he could to help the people of Sudan. He returned several months later and Sam received a message from God that he was to build a orphanage for the children. In the village of Nimule.
The lord’s ressistance army (LRA) militia, had kidnapped and murdered 30 000 children and had murdered hundreds of thousands of villagers. God wanted Sam to help these children. Although the local people thought him to be mad. Sam did as God said. He build an orphanage. Since 1998 Sam Childers has been helping thousands of children torn apart as a result of the LRA’s actions.
To this day he keeps fighting to protect them. Called by God.
