Go, Bafana Bafana!
































































Ke yona

‘Feel it. It is here.’ :) Cammy came with us to 3Ci’s ‘fan park’ yesterday, to watch SA score the first goal of the 2010 World Cup! The vuvuzelas got a bit much for him (and me!) and we spent a good deal of the match jumping on the trampoline outside. Still, the atmosphere was awesome.

'I wearing smart undies like Dad!'

We are now fully into hardcore potty training, and so far so good. Only two accidents in three days! Cam is wearing undies at home and around the campus, but he still wears a nappy if we go out, and when he sleeps. His teacher, Aunty Lyn, says we must send him to school in undies on Monday (with several changes of clothes). He’ll be going to school a couple of days a week through the holiday, so as not to lose his rhythm, and to get used to the fact that Aunty Lyn will be leaving at the end of the month. Cam will miss her desperately. He has absolutely thrived under her love and teaching. But, we know there’s a plan and that even though Cam is so little, God is building his character. These little hardships are ‘the small, the scorching / Ordeals which fire one’s irresolute clay’ (C. Day Lewis).

Of sleepless nights and hope

We keep praying for a full night’s sleep for all in the Reyburn household, and that Cam would rest secure in the love of Jesus at night, because ‘perfect love expels all fear’ (1 John 4:18).

‘When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flag...’
(K’naan)
