Day 46 (16th June)

Today was an awesome day. The Women event went brilliantly with about thirty nine women in attendance. There were many more South African ladies than expected which was great because it is through the locals that we would be able to impact the citizens. We have very positive feedback in the evaluation which would be incorporated into future event, one being the use of a microphone!
Karen Van Vuuren’s session was good. She gave very succinct points on how to be successful with biblical passage to back these up. Pastor Titi really nailed it when she spoke about Integrity being important ingredient for success. Mama Rose shared her story about living positively with HIV & AIDS since 1990, twenty one years ago and she looks good. Her session really moved the women and I believe each one would take the right step in doing something in their world for those infected or affected. It is always so fulfilling after these events, seeing people connected and interacting with each other and the decisions being made to take action on one thing or the other. Already thinking about the December event! There is need for these sort of events where Women could be encouraged, motivated and inspired to be more. We had some surprising attendance which was great.
I was depleted after the event. I put a lot of energy into the preparation and the events and immediately after it I always feel depleted and need some quietness to recover. But it is good deplete. I remembered to send a thank you message to all the speakers before I went into a straight two hour sleep.
I give all glory and honour to God for a successful day.
