Picking up the Batten once again!!!

At long last, I am able to pick up the batten and post snippets again. While at home, I couldn't do much blogging as I didn't want to use up all my parents monthly MB's. After my exciting trip to JHB I enjoyed a couple of quite weeks of just sitting in a comfy chair with my nose in a book.

I started work again last Monday and since, it has been all systems go! Poor Rahab, my helper is on sick leave as she had a pot of boiling oil fall over her legs on New Years Day.
Although I knew that it would be really hard without her, especially during the 'back to school' rush, I purposed to focus on trusting God to provide the fast, reliable and trustworthy help which I needed. Well God was so very gracious and He blessed me with THREE really good helpers.

At the end of last year, while the Marking Centre was operating, (much to my despair) Rahab was taken away from me to work at the centre. However, little did I know that God was using that time for me to train someone else to help me. In His Sovereignty, He knew that Rahab would be on leave and that I would need someone else. God's love for us constantly blows my mind.

By God's grace, we made it through the first week and a half. We did over R400 000.00 worth of sales and I have provided over 80 teachers with stationery. Now just enjoying catching up on my other work!
