I'll talk about it when I'm over it.
2017 is nog baie onbekend vir my. Om nuwe jaar in te gaan in die veld op my perd se rug onder die sterre naby die karoo terwyl ek en my twee beste vriende oppad kaap toe is is al wat sover op die lysie is.
Wow. Hard decision.

... And many many more....
I'll buy a farm and build my dream and care for my grandparents for the rest of their lives and then spend the money wherever God wants me to use it.
Let out all my secrets and tell all the special people in my life how special they are to me and I don't know... Do one last very crazy thing with my best friend... Go to a public place and tell people of Jesus' love...Do something that will mean a lot to someone.. Visit all my little cousins and do crazy things with them ...Sit beside my dad and talk to him... Tell my family that I love and appreciate them... And then go sit on a mountain top with my two favorite people and my twin sister and talk about meaningful things... Then paddle with Chanry into the ocean and say my last goodbyes to her... And my last minute thing that I would do before I die is to take my horse to a remote place in the mountains, take off his bridle, and just gallop very fast into nowhere and feel the wind on my cheeks and his mane in my hands and then I'll die.
My best friend, Chanry Tromp.. Because she understand me and would do anything with me... She knows me best.. And she inspires me everyday. We are both different from the rest of the world and that is what draws us to each other. Because she is my partner in many adventures.. big or small. And as well, Petrus Bezuidenhout because he makes me laugh every day, cares for me, has my back, shares many adventures with me and makes me a better person.. pushing me towards my dreams. Xx
Horses, and my dreams to build a natural living and natural horsemanship lodge/retreat someday. Who I think about most... well... He knows :)
Yes, it would never be classified as a religion. But what you believe, or choose to believe, whether it is to believe in nothing, that is still a belief. A very self-centered belief. Sorry that I am so direct, but I think I know who you are and in the past you have never had an open attitude to my and my sister's religion. YOU have only sought to marginalize MY religion, and take the opportunity to self-uplift yourself through your clever debates, but never to learn from it or see any value in my belief. I don't think you really care about what I believe anyway, but only want to destroy it... So I think if you truly DO want to seek a healthy person to debate it, who's clearly on your intellectual level, try a theologian. I'm merely an ordinary girl who believe what I believe and have grown so much as a person because of it. This argument would be totally unnecessary if you knew me in person.
Religion IS to bring us to a higher, more healthy, level, yes. Religion is in the humans best interest. I think it is very unwise how people nowadays make decisions on who they are based on makes them feel good. It is self-indulgence .. and Religion is based on self sacrifice so all can live better. But that does not mean that other people outside op religion is marginalized.. or seen as less insignificant. All humans are precious. Some just choose to walk away from the blessings a spiritual life can bring them.
What do you see as marginalizing God loving people? And how can you NOT religion? Even if you don't believe in anything, then that will be your religion.
First of all, I believe religion is above science. Science is because of what I believe. Science is merely the study of HOW God created, and the study OF his creation. There IS only one truth. So much of the 'science' we take in today are only the result of other people's thinking; other people's theory, that we have been brain washed to believe as facts. In my walk with God, in working with nature and His creation, the science that I have experienced FIRST HAND, have never contradicted the existence of my God. In fact, it has only manifested Him and brought Him to more light.
Secondly, even if the whole world would decide to try to prove the Holy Trinity as a myth, I could not... because I have first hand experienced what God through His Son Jesus Christ have done for me in the deepest parts of my heart ... How He has healed damage, pain and brokenness that I can't express to anyone. No one.. not even the whole world can take that away from me, because I know and I won't ever be able to deny what He has done in parts of my life only known to me. This is how I keep my faith in my religion.
