I was lucky to witness a truly spectacular sunset, it looked like the horizon was on fire – amazing! The wonders of natural beauty, the sky is natures canvas….

On our last trip up the West Coast, of Cape Town, we visited the seaside town of Langebaan. Which we frequent because of the lovely beach-side cafes and restaurant’s to dine in. We were fortunate enough to witness, an extraordinary sunset when we arrived; I grabbed the opportunity and shot some wonderful photographs. I love capturing sunsets; there is something truly magical about them and I am always left in awe of the magnitude of beauty that surrounds us.

At this point in my life the most difficult thing for me, is to relinquish control over my destiny. All of me, body and soul would like to determine who I am going to be and where I am going. I am slowly realising that actually, I am not in control.
This could sound quite bizarre to some people but it’s not to say that I do not make choices and follow a certain path but all these things are pre-determined, by a far higher power. I guess it’s like trying to paint in the dark, you have the vision of what you would like the painting to look like but you are unable to determine the colours and you cannot see the canvas. Yes, the result would probably be a complete mess! I guess God is like the light, He helps you see what the end product should look like, and He gives you the plan and the skills to get there. You just need to be willing.
A great deal of what we experience in life is beyond our understanding and fighting destiny, is not a comfortable place to be. So my challenge is to take a step back and let God work in my life, however hard this may be for me.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Today I would like to encourage you, not to lose sight of your dreams. Be inspired and motivated to live your life as you always imagined it. God intends great things for all of us, so never lose sight of this. Life brings us so many challenges but we need to look beyond this. Keep believing and know that everything happens for a reason; to shape and mould us for our great destiny.
Have a wonderful Friday and a peaceful weekend. ‘Dream big’!
