""The Value of The Gift of Time""

Time is precious and important;

Time cannot be waisted, Time determine how much we can do within a moment; Time can limit and not limit one. Time spending praising God is not wasted but great inheritance on one's life on earth.

After watching the movie "The Greater Yes" The true story of Amy Newhouse desire to give Her life for building the kingdom of God, Help the less fortunate and make a difference;

Yet instead of a Dream prevailing had to face biggest fight of her life, a fatal disease and still believe God had a purpose for all has happened!! So moved by her Faith and making me realize God has a plan for each and one of US. According to His Will, sometimes His No, could mean a Greater Yes!! Might not make sense but to Him it does and this teaching US never to loose HOPE. KEEP believing and Praying!!

All I could say after watching the movie, is Thank You God for every moment I breath, alive and protected. Thank You for Good health and Heart for your Kingdom. Forgive me if there might have been any times I did not give thanks and follow your will Father.
Most Important!! Thank you for the time you have blessed with on earth and Help me use it according to your will.. For your Glory God"

Colossians 1 :1-29 "a Thanks Giving and Prayer"

Inspired by a powerful inspirational sad story "The Greater Yes"

Be blessed and inspired

Honours for Maties trio who beat the odds

"Hard Work, Humility and Perseverance pays off especially when you trust in the Lord,   He always makes a way. If they did it what is stopping you!!"

Supplied Professor Leopoldt van Huyssteen (far right), acting rector and vice-chancellor of Stellenbosch University with the recipients of the Rector s Award for Succeeding Against the Odds, (left to right) Blain van Wyk, Caroline Pule en Agnes Molebatsi.

Cape Town - As a child Blain van Wyk was often teased because he looked different. Born with a cleft lip and palate he often felt like an outsider but now the 22-year-old from Paarl s using his own experiences to help others.

Van Wyk is the founder of the Operation Smile Student Society at Stellenbosch University which raises funds for Operation Smile, an international children’s medical charity that performs cleft lip and palate surgery. 

Last week, Van Wyk, who is studying towards a BA Honours in political science, was one of the recipients of the Rector’s Award for Succeeding Against the Odds. The award honours Maties who excel academically despite challenging socio-economic conditions, limited opportunities or disability. 

Van Wyk, who had his first operation when he was three months old, enrolled at university in 2010 and initially studied engineering. But he struggled academically and after a few sessions at the Centre for Student Counselling and Development enrolled for a BA in international studies. Initially Van Wyk asked fellow students in the Wilgenhof Men’s Residence to make a monthly donation of R8 to Operation Smile. But soon others started donating and since 2012 the Operation Smile Society on campus has managed to raise enough money for five operations. Last year he went to Rwanda with Operation Smile as a student volunteer and described it as one of the best experiences of his life. “Having been able to use my personal experiences to make a difference in an other individual’s life is the greatest success of my life thus far.” Van Wyk completed his undergraduate degree with 10 distinctions and plans to continue working for Operation Smile. 

The other recipients of the award were Agnes Molebatsi, a first-year theology student from Khutsong in Carletonville and Caroline Pule, a PhD student in molecular biology and human genetics Molebatsi’s first few months at university were difficult as she didn’t have money to pay for registration and had no accommodation, books or pocket money. Through the help of people from her church she found accommodation and a loan from the university bursary office. She finished her first semester with a distinction, achieving 81 percent, for one of her modules. 

Pule started her studies at Cape Peninsula University of Technology, studying biotechnology. After her grandmother died in her second year of study, she started writing a book about her journey to motivate her. She intends publishing it after completing her PhD. She managed to fund her BTech studies with bursaries and also got a job at Stellenbosch University. She was accepted to do her MSc degree in 2012, provided that she pass her BTech subjects with distinctions. In 2012 she enrolled for her MSc at Stellenbosch University and passed with honours. 

Each recipient was awarded an R85 000 bursary.

Ephesians 2:8-9

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. not by works, so that no one can boast."
