Those in Jesus have un-surpassing peace in their hearts, and know what the future holds; patiently waiting on God. The fear of death past, with the promise of eternal life for those who are in Christ. The grave conquered by the crucifixion & resurrection of our God come to earth, through His son named Jesus, becoming one with man to sanctify His creation.

My God of all – including time – saw what was needed from beginning to end for His beloved: a Holy Sacrifice that would re-unite where the prince of this world, satan defiled His creation.

Seeking Gods truth is in His Word, promises to prosper us, for a future, peace & hope.  Transformation starts to take place, true identities revealed as sons & daughters to the most High. Do you know God has created a link between us & Him to experience the un- comprehendible?  To know the things that is given, freely to us by God, not by our works? Yet, still we are in the dark when it comes to the promises of God for His beloved? (Psalms 118:8)

There is a key to unlocking a relationship with The Creator, is with the Comforter – Gods Spirit. The Spirit of God has also been on earth for over 2000 years, sent after Jesus ascended into Heaven. The Spirit dwells in the midst of those convicted of being Righteous. Jesus said it was actually better he left, so that the Spirit of God could be with us all the time, everywhere. Space-time limited Jesus in this world, as He was partially of flesh. Christ deposited a gift into the spirit of man by breathing on the disciples: Tongues, activated when the Spirit of God descended upon them: This heavenly language untaught or unheard of until the Spirit descends upon you, as it was for the disciples is a direct ‘hot-line’ to Gods throne, unable to be detected by the enemy.

When cleansed by the blood, shed willingly & under Gods instruction by Jesus, your body becomes His temple. Old nature’s do not suite any more the new creation you have become, bad habits are broken instantaneously without withdrawal, cravings gone, as you take on Christ’s resurrected identity & nature.

Faith of things not yet seen or experienced is the first step, where you do have something to lose: condemnation. The judgement for your state falls to the price already paid, Jesus at the cross. His innocent, precious blood was a price paid, a sacrifice for the apple of Gods eye – us, His beloved. Remission of unbelief by confession of a sinful state and receiving the gift of God, Jesus His son, given freely out of His love to unite us with Him yet again, is the ONLY link.

Gods Rath was everyman’s destiny, God saw that He could not be with us (sin cannot be in His presence) if we had to stand as we are now, on our own in God’s presence – our sin would cause our flesh to melt off our bones. Jesus covers us so we can stand in the Holy of Holies to speak to God until we are in the next eternal life. With Jesus blood as a gift to us by God, we can now be anointed by God and be in un-comprehendible, un-experienced, and undeserving love by being deserving enough through His perfect love, not our version of love. The atonement of God is where we are washed white from our red stain sins, in the whole time-span of our life here on earth! How do you be grateful? Receive & Praise the majesty who is truly God of all, and get to know who you are & what He destined for you through His Word.

Please don’t take my word for it, God is a personal discovery, he meets you where you are, on your level, as you are – imperfect, full of flaws!

Father, for those who have read of Your Mercy today, and have not yet experienced you personally or need a fresh touch from you, a revival; I pray where they have no words but desire to..

‘Holy Spirit of God; open the eyes to their hearts so they can see you. In thy own gentle way, speak to them, show them how to seek, be their Gravity & Compass. Protect the ones You love, who You have called out from darkness. Thank-you Father that You are the author and finisher of our faith – Amen’

So step 1: Find a best friend to help and be creative with you. We’ve been window shopping secretively, for the ring, the dress, the venue, since we planned the baby shower 10 months ago… But seriously, who has fifty freaking thousand Rand to blow on 5 hours? So… You budget!

A girl’s intuition is like trying on a pair of shoes, and knowing they’re going to kill you wearing them… So only invite those who you feel comfortable with (no need for blood relatives to all be there if they hardly know you)

Find Magical ways to fill up the 5 hours! If you’re Greek, definitely invest in the ‘breakable’ plates & do the ‘Ola’ dance. If you’re a fairy like me, find a stunning venue like shades of Green, where there are tables up in the trees, and ponds with Koi fish and cobble stoned pathways leading you on an adventure to your destination – the chapel, it’s so relaxing!

Here’s a quick look at my budget, to give you an idea. How you choose to finance your fairy-tale is a personal decision, but there are some things in life worth celebrating. If that means waiting and buying one thing a month – do so . Build up a wedding trouso’~ it’s your day, and you should feel like a princess ,even if you feel like Cinderella right now… Your prince and you can do this together. It’s exciting and bonding, you’ll get to know each other ‘for better or worse’.

Some advice:  you and your prince charming, are like two rough stones colliding together, and eventually, all the sharp, rough edges become smooth, an eternal love diamond… It’s a process, and takes time~ even if your prince is not so charming when it comes to getting to know you better/ letting you know him better…

So, the retail therapy will definitely help your love diamond ~ha-ha! Men are not the shoppers us women are!

Here’s what us girlies can do to get started; think out the box ~imagine your day!

The season with the most decorations nature has to offer, is Spring, Summer & Autumn (lots of flowers / colour in venues with Gardens.) I like Spring (symbolic of new beginnings, fresh new flowers everywhere) also the climate is not too hot or cold, so you and your prince will feel comfortable in your wedding attire.

I chose a breakfast wedding: 15 adults (incl. the wedding party) and 2 infants, here are the numbers crunched, and some creative do-it-yourself ideas;

You don’t have to be a “bridezilla’ it can be like a beach walk when dreaming about the day, walking down the isle of bustling people can be the tourists! It’s all about perception & having fun!

Hope this article inspires those who do plan on tying the knot, it should be fun, flirty & fantastic!

The Football Association (FA), who are formed by most of the London clubs, decided that rules are needed to play competitively. Their Laws of the Game are still in play today, with some few modifications

1. Field of Play

The surface on which the game of soccer is played on

Line markings & soccer pitch dimensions;

Soccer Pitch          :  90 – 120m long and 45 – 90m wide, and rectangular in shape

Goals                        :  7.32m long and 2.44m high

Centre Circle        :  18.3m in diameter or 11m from to the goal, for a penalty goal

Penalty spot         :  11m perpendicularly on goal

2. The Ball

Must have a circumference between 68 and 70cm,  and weigh 410 – 450g

The ball can be made out of leather, or a similar material

3. Number of Players

A team can bring in 10 outfield players and 1 goalkeeper on the pitch, with 7 sub’s on the bench

The number of benched subs that are allowed to play in a match with the outfield players, vary with the type of the game played

In official matches, only 3 sub’s are allowed in play, with up to 9 players on the bench

In friendlies, the coach can fit in as many players as he wants on the bench, and also swaps players with a sub, as and when he needs to

4. The Kit

A player must wear a shirt or jersey, footwear, shin pads, shorts and socks

The two teams must have different kit on, so that they can be identified on the pitch

The players number and name appears on the back of his shirt, and his club’s badge on the chest. Club sponsors are advertised everywhere else! (The jersey markings aren’t compulsory, but has become a given)

5. The Ref’s

The ref enforces the rules of soccer, in the match he has been appointed to

The Center Ref:  is  helped by 2 assistant ref’s, 1 on each side of the pitch. A 4th ref handles small issues, like showing injury time duration, checking a substitute player’s equipment, as well as replacing 1 of the 3 main ref’s, if they can’t continue the game

Assistant Ref’s: have no decision power, and can only signal a game issue for offside, a foul, handball etc… (It’s up to the central ref to take up the assistant’s advice)

6. The Duration of the Match

There’s 2 halves of 45 minutes each, with a 15 minute break between

This is not the actual time of play, since this 90 minute clock ticks even when the ball is out of play (during substitutions, etc…)

In order to try balance this timing , the end of each half also brings a few minutes of  ’injury time’

When there is a knock out match, a winner must be decided. 2 extra mini-periods of 15 minutes each are then given, with no break between

If the match is tie again!, then there’s a penalty-shootout that will eventually decide the winner – gripping stuff really!

7. The Start and Restart of Play

Starting with a kick-off. The game is also restarted with a kick-off when a goal is scored
If a player kicks the ball out the side lines, the opposing team then gets the opportunity of a throw-in
The goal kick is awarded to the defending team, if the attacking team took the ball out of play on the defending team’s goal line. The game is restarted with the goalkeeper kicking it from within the safety box
A corner kick is awarded if the defending team touches the ball last, and it goes over their own goal line, outside of the goal itself. The kick will be taken from the corner nearest to where the ball went out
An indirect free kick is awarded, when there is dangerous play or offside. The ball has to be played by 2 players, before a shot can be taken for a goal
A direct free kick is caused by a foul or handball, occurring on the field, excluding the the goal box area, and the player can shoot for a goal
A penalty kick is also warded due to a foul or handball, but the offence occurs inside the defending team’s penalty area. The game is restarted with one of the attacking team’s players shooting for goal from the penalty spot, with nothing but a goalkeeper to beat
The dropped ball occurs when the ref stops the game for a special reason, like an injured player. The game is restarted with him dropping the ball from shoulder height in front of 2 players who will fight for possession

8. Ball In and Out of Play

The ball is in play throughout the match duration, except when it passes the goal lines or goes outside a field line

When play is stopped by the ref, the ball is out of play, and the players cannot score goals or interact with the ball

Substitution players can only be put in the game, when the ball is out of play

9. Methods of Scoring

As long as the ball is in play, players can score goals

A goal is considered when the ball crosses one of the goal areas with its entire circumference

10. Offsides – this is a bit hectic to explain, so here’s David

If a player purposefully targets his opponent and punches, kicks or pushes him while the ball is in or out of play, this is misconduct

If pushing or kicking was accidental while the ball was in play, this is a foul

The ref can issue a yellow or a red card, in addition to a free kick or penalty kick (depending on the severity of the misconduct or foul)

12. Free Kicks

Players from the opposing team must be about 9m away from where the free kick will be struck

Also, the player that takes the free kick, can’t touch the ball again, until a teammate or opposing player touches it

13. Penalty Kicks

If a  foul or handball is committed within the 18 yard line, or penalty box of the opposing team, a penalty kick is issued

But, if a player commits dangerous play inside his own penalty box, the ref will award an indirect free kick from the place that the offence occurred to the opposing team

The only two players in the 18 yard box are the penalty taker and the defending team’s goalkeeper

Everyone else is outside the box, and can only move towards the ball once it is kicked, so if the penalty is saved by the goalkeeper / strikes the bar, the player can run from the edge of the box and gain possession

14. The Throw In

When the ball goes out of play on the side lines, the opponent of the player who last touched the ball will throw the ball in

The player taking the throw must keep his feet outside the side line, with the sole on the ground and the actual throw must be executed with the ball over the thrower’s head

15. The Goal Kick

After the attacking team moves the ball over the defending team’s byline, the game is restarted

A goal kick is like a free kick, and will count if kicked from anywhere on the field

A goal kick can be re-taken if the ball is not kicked hard enough to count as a goal, and the goalkeeper executes the goal kick, and passes the ball to a teammate in his own penalty box

16. The Corner Kick

If the ball passes over the defending player’s goal line, with a defender having touched the ball last, a corner kick is taken

The corner kick is taken from the corner of the pitch

If the ball passes the line on the left of the goal, the kick is taken and the ball placed in the left corner arc, visa versa
Opposing players must be about 9m away from the corner, the kicker can’t play the ball a second time until it’s touched by another player

To the girls who actually finnished reading this – well done

To the guys who read this, and learned something about the game  - yay!

Cheers

A young urban Mom of three beautiful children, Vanessa, Jordan & Logan. Engaged to my fabulous fiancé, Nick! I lead by example, very passionate and excited about life ~right now, I’m more creative, social, and inspirational.

My blog was designed to engage & network with the top bloggers in the blogosphere arena, while finding creative style in writing, but today want it to be a tool to share my life and inspire through my new-found life-style!

I’m a lover of Christ, plenty of space and peace in Him. It’s my new reality; feeling re-charged, the earth is a beautiful place if you walk with God! Light piercing darkness = 100% fail proof! Just want to rest and enjoy life, as it should be.

I’m very passionate in everything  I do. If there is an easier or smarter way of doing something, I’ll strongly motivate why others should do things this way (hence the name).  I’m a creative thinker and I believe in my intelligence and love dreaming and imagining my future. This is the very place where success is born. I am a curious creature, about  the world around me.  Learning something new comes easy to me, always asking questions, and now realize it’s not about understanding it’s about believing – in something more powerful than me, my situation and to realise how I’ve been lied to and believing in the lies has corrupted me to a state where I was disappearing… He who is in control of the universe (incl ‘lil me) came to the rescue, and carried me to a place of safety and restored me, taking away the weeds tangled in my life and restoring me to how I was created – perfect!

I have discovered and am defining my true self in Jesus, with his grace, which I truly don’t deserve…Starting to live the destiny that has been written already for me – hello??? how awesome is this!!!!

I love joking around & laughing when happy, and treasure the good times, living in the moment….forever starts now, what are you waiting 4?

I love being straight forward and truthful,with myself and others, this has benefits when change is needed.

I was born again 22-Aug’10 and delivered from curses 25-Aug’10 – it felt like my heart had black whips pulled off ( while my new friends who were praying for me last night.) Curses strangled my heart’ thats why I felt like I was floating! Was so light afterwards – never felt that way before – stunned didn’t know whether to cry or jump!

I know how weird it must sound! You had to be me in that moment with my friends V and Bryan to fully understand it! (luv u guyz!!!!) Thank-you for praying for me, and showing me how to let go of my unforgivness to everyone in my past, which was also my present reality xxx

I’m curious to see how different or similar we are, will be actively reading your blogs as I follow you on Twitter & Facebook (so far, some blogs are hilarious & some very smart too!)

Luvies,

Bossy Babe
