I survived the last of the packing (SO didn't want to see another box anytime soon!), the drive, the unloading (truth be known I just directed traffic!) and my first day on Monday (more on that score later!).
I love my new home with its mint green kitchen and bathroom, its red light fixtures, orangey-brown carpet and pink-grey-white-black speckled curtains. Why? (you may well ask!!) – because it's all here just for me!
As we pulled up early in the evening last Thursday, the call went out (just like we were in the wild!) and then from nowhere everyone just appeared and the trailer was unloaded in about 5 minutes flat! - It was so fast all I could do was stand in the doorway and direct traffic!
My fellow cadets are just lovely. Home-baked biscuits have appeared just in time for a cup of coffee, a fruit basket arrived just after putting the empty fruit bowl on the table and my flattened pile of boxes found their way to the skip secretly one night. We’ve been in and out of each others places having lunch, dinner and cups of coffee.
As of today, we’ve all been warned that our time management plans need to be set and ready to go as our ‘free time’ is going to disappear before our very eyes and boot camp (as we like to call it down here!) has begun – duties are 7am every morning. Serving is all part of it!
Overall, I’m actually really enjoying it. There is going to be so much to learn I'm kinda keen to get underway! I've gone from working at 50million miles an hour to about 5! The verse that’s on my mind 24/7 comes from Zandea – a great friend from the Faith Factory (bless you heaps girl!):
Colossians 3: 23-24
Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and the Master you are serving is Christ.
Be assured, I miss you all heaps especially my Faith Factory family.
Roll on 7am!! … Brasso here I come!

Hey K,
So great to finally hear how it's going, I've been thinking of you heaps. 5 miles an hour.... I WISH!!! Great to hear that there's some good support down there, and some coffee etc. happening. That verse is awesome - I needed it! Take care, can't wait for the next update. R.
Hey Jazminda, guess who this is from?
Hey Jazminda, this is from 'guess who this is from's' husband!
Hey Jazminda, has anyone guessed that the J in KJ stands for Jazminda?
