Heathering Heights: December 2014

http://www.heatheringheights.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 17, 2014. Africa Advent: Free from Fear. Ne of my favorite stories in Scripture would be in Exodus 14. The great escape. But being in Africa I stop and pause on Exodus 7:10-12, the very first plea to free the people. God told Moses to have Aaron throw down his staff and it would become a serpent, so they would know God’s power. But then Pharaoh called the sorcerers and by “their secret arts” they also turned their staffs into serpents. They find liberation and freedom in a God who&#82...

Heathering Heights: October 2013

http://www.heatheringheights.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 10, 2013. When Dreams Don't Come True. I never imagined my life would be like this. I dreamed, with my Gen Y mindset, that I'd be superstar, climbing the corporate latter, traveling the world with a disposable income. I dreamed of fancy cars and nice clothes. Anything I'd put my mind to, I could accomplish. I dreamed I'd be great. I'm pleased to say,. My dreams didn't come true. No really, I am. I make enough money to support myself, tithe and save for a sunny day. Links to this post.

Heathering Heights: January 2014

http://www.heatheringheights.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Friday, January 31, 2014. A Time to Learn, A Time to Love. From my last day of work to my first day of training… it’s been a humbling journey of gratefulness and love. Leaving my job of almost seven years, a good boss, great friends and so many memories was already hard enough. I cried one (maybe four or more) of those days, because if not leaving all those really great things, aforementioned, I’d also be leaving one of my favorite people in corporate America… my big sister. Go with God Heather! You deci...

Heathering Heights: Happy 1 Year In Africa

http://www.heatheringheights.com/2015/03/happy-1-year-in-africa.html

Thursday, March 26, 2015. Happy 1 Year In Africa. I’m sitting here trying to remember what it felt like to pack up my belongings, get on a plane and arrive on a continent almost 9,000 miles (over 14,700 km) away from “home,” family and friends. It’s been one year, exactly, today. It’d be a cliché to say, “It’s all a blur. Time flew by quickly…” But the truth is, time did fly and some of my memories, so far, exist only in pictures. And oh, how I’ve learned. I’ve gone; it’s whom. Doesn’t have to stop...

Heathering Heights: December 2013

http://www.heatheringheights.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Sunday, December 22, 2013. People told me all my life, "it's not how you start it's how you finish." Weeeellll, this statement means everything and nothing when you sign up to run. Stretched emotionally, physically and mentally, we sometimes considered "opting out." Out of crazy, out of pain, out of training, out of somewhere we'd been too long. we didn't know, we just wanted out. We never did that though. Instead we encouraged one another and cheered one another on. "We can do this. We can. Takin' It to...

Heathering Heights: Sweet Sustaining Grace

http://www.heatheringheights.com/2011/05/sweet-sustaining-grace.html

Sunday, May 8, 2011. Not until the work in hand has failed and we are despised and rejected shall we begin to discern the intent of our heart. -Watchman Nee. By the sweet grace of God I know Christ and claim Him as my testimony and reason for living. After sharing my testimony with a mentor, she put my testimony in a nutshell saying, “Your salvation has been sustained by the grace and mercy of a faithful and loving God." Finally. here's my story, in writing for all to see. My little sister was very.

Heathering Heights: April 2014

http://www.heatheringheights.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 5, 2014. I know some people wondered, and even I wondered at times, what will I eat in South Africa. It's not the most pressing question. except from my mom, simply because of my dietary restrictions. Restrictions, used loosely. Because I eat practically everything except meat. No worries ma, Jozi feeds me well. In fact, there's every kind of food here and every kind of people and it turns out I'm in one big melting pot of culture and it's delicious. The food is fantastic.

Heathering Heights: July 2014

http://www.heatheringheights.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 2, 2014. Here in Jozi places close early. The only place that stays open later. Is the movies. While I'm all over that I miss evenings on the patio, live bands and good restaurant venues. Needless to say you gotta do your exploring in the morning, afternoon and weekends. If you happen to find yourself in Johannesburg, SA, be sure to make your way out to the Irene Market. It's a blasty blast! Food, crafts, antiques, food, jewelry, food, Irene Market has it all. Did I mention food? These ki...
