I am a small town girl living in a small city world (although I did live in the big city – Jo’burg, South Africa - for 20 years). Knowing the Father means that living life is the most exciting journey one could be on. I have to say, that we have been blessed on this journey, with the most extraordinary friends, who now live in South Africa, England, Northern Ireland, Australia, Botswana, the States, Canada, Costa Rica (our other son Daniel) and now in New Zealand.
My heart belongs to Jesus, who I want to know more and more and my precious family, Ian, Betha and Andrew, their spouses as well as our gorgeous grandchildren. Our immediate family connections – parents and siblings – are solid and strong and they continue to love and support us even though we are at ‘the ends of the earth’ and don’t get to see each other much.
I have had the privilege of being involved in some amazing things eg working in Hillbrow with kids, Rouxville Baptist church (where the worship journey started), Orange Farm squatter camp, the Valley Vineyard worship team (yes all of you over all those years), King's School Robinhills, worship conferences in Zimbabwe and SA, reconciliation trips to Kosovo and Northern Ireland, a songwriters retreat in LA and being part of a team that recorded with Vineyard Music South Africa. But for all of that, I have to say that the relationships that we have built over the years have been the most special thing for me.
Rumours of worship, is about family (whanau) in all its many forms and to encourage all of you who we know and even those we don’t, that we are called to a ‘long obedience in the same direction’, even if there are some valleys and mountains in the way. Be strong and courageous! “Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord” Ps 27:14.
