Welcome to my part of the woods


This is my Chalet, Andrew Murray, which is similar to a dorm. I live with four other girls and they are absolutely lovely! Each are so unique and I am so blessed to know them.


And this is my room.

This is one of the flower bushes that grows right beside one of the main rooms for our classes. These small, lavender flowers produce the sweetest aroma and I often stop to take a big whiff, drinking in their fragrance.

Say hello to the waterfall behind my chalet. The rushing sound of this majestic creation provides the ideal background noise for studying and the perfect natural shower after a jog in the heat of the sun.
This is just a little glimpse of of what my little corner of South Africa looks like.
May the Lord bless the place you call home, knowing that your true home rests in the arms of His love.
All my love,
Gennavieve

Hampton Court Palace

Today, I toured Hampton Court Palace, an official historic, royal palace. Following are some of the sights I saw, history I learned, and favorites I enjoyed. The guard chamber of King William III. The magnificent display of 2,871 items of armor and weapons displayed a message that William was a great soldier and peacemaker. William's Presence chamber. Only high-ranking individuals were permitted into this room. William would be distinguished by sitting on a Chair of Estate. Those who entered his presence were required to remove their hats and make three low bows to the King, or even his empty chair. I'm grateful to serve an accessible King, who is with me wherever I go. William's eating room. He was expected to dine here on occasions "in front of persons of good fashion and good appearance," in order to display the sumptuousness of his food and to reassure everyone he was in good health. He was served by three servants on bended knee. William's P...

Praise the Lord

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. ~Philippians 4:6-7 The Lord is faithful! Can I get an amen? THE LORD IS FAITHFUL! Last week, I felt the pressures of my Biology exam creeping upon me and the night before test day, as I studied, I came to a point where I simply prayed, "God I give this up to you, I have studied the material given to me and I will not worry about this." And I got a sound night of sleep. My fellow classmates were up very late, stressed, and anxious about the exam and for some reason I had this overwhelming sense of peace. I now know that the peace was from the Lord and I am proud to say that I got an A+ on the exam. Know that the Lord is mighty and the small things in life He cares about. Our God is a God who knows what plagues our minds and when we give it up...

Let Us Love

Idelette McVicker, founder and editor of She Loves magazine wrote a poem titled, "Let Us Be Women Who Love." Below, please find the poem. I bolded my favorite stanzas. Upon contemplation, I believe this poem challenges, not only women, but both men and women to stand up and lead lives of genuine love. To allow the overwhelming love of Christ fill one's heart to the brim until it pours out onto others. I simply desire to share this manifesto and encourage you in love. Let us be women who Love. Let us be women willing to lay down our sword words, our sharp looks, our ignorant silence and towering stance and fill the earth now with extravagant Love. Let us be women who Love. Let us be women who make room. Let us be women who open our arms and invite others into an honest, spacious, glorious embrace. Let us be women who carry each other. Let us be women who give from what we have. Let us be women who leap to do the difficult things , the unexpected thin...
