About Me

My Photo
South Africa
My husband, Brett and I live in beautiful South Africa and have been blessed with the most precious family. We have 2 very beautiful and brave daughters, Tianna (12) and Angelee (8) and a very precious little boy called Zac who touched our hearts forever in his 1 day here on earth. We never would have imagined that we would have to live this side of Heaven without our sweet boy who was born with half a heart, but every day Jesus carries us through and is teaching us more than ever how to live, laugh and love fully. Our faithful Great Restorer has graciously blessed us with one more son, Gabriel, who has just recently made his grand entry into this big wide world of wonder. We are all so in love with him already! "Love in Action" is our journey as a family to love the way Jesus is teaching us to love and live.

About the Journey

Life is certainly a remarkable adventure! You just never quite know what's around that next corner! I am a 36 year old wife and mommy to 4 amazing children. When I started this blog a few years ago I had no idea just how much I would learn about the depths of God's love in the years ahead! Back then I was a mommy of two little girls. In September 2011 we were given the greatest privilege to become proud parents to a very special little boy called Zac, our "lion heart". We were entrusted to carry him in pregnancy in an amazing walk of faith, because he would only be ours this side of Heaven for 21 and a half hours after birth. Our precious heart baby has taught us more about the reality of Heaven and the truly important matters of the heart in his short journey in our lives than a lifespan of living could have taught us. He continues to be our pointer to Jesus in remarkable ways. "Love in Action" has become our incredible journey through grief to live lives filled with grace, strength, increasing joy and purpose as we continue to heal and grow in God's amazing love as a family. Just a few weeks ago we welcomed our second son, Gabriel into this amazing big-wide-world-of-wonder! We are overcome with joy as the Great Restorer is faithfully at work in our lives! Please come and join me on my adventure. I'm one of those people who wears my heart on my sleeve. I'm a firm believer of living my life out in the open as I continue to pursue a life lived in truth and freedom. I am exploring the depths of God's personal love for us, and I have to say that life is far more colourful lived in His love. I would like to live my life having experienced rich friendships - both new and old and most certainly having loved and laughed my way through most of it. I welcome you to share your thoughts and comments with me. At the end of each blog entry, click on "comments" to add your thoughts. I can't wait to hear from you! Here's to life God's way ... RICH and FULL in Jesus Christ's overflowing love for us!

One last little sleep!!!

I want to giggle, do a crazy-happy-dancing-jig and laugh out loud because tonight is the last sleep!!! 
We are just hours away from meeting our son face to face! No matter how much I try to write, I will never be able to express just how full of love, thankfulness and expectation my heart is right now. God has gone to the highest heights to show us blessing every moment of this pregnancy. So while I don't have all the words to express all that I feel right now, I will share with you a few of the precious photo's I will deeply treasure celebrating being able to carry this little boy safely to his appointed birth day tomorrow morning. 


 




 



Thank you precious Jesus for these 4 precious children that you have entrusted to us ... Tianna, Angelee, Zac and now Gabriel. We are forever thankful that you chose us to be their parents for all eternity. I know that tomorrow Zac will be laughing in pure delight as he celebrates with us from his Heavenly home. Our hearts know peace and joy as we prepare for this precious moment. 
All my love xxx

These photos are Beautiful!! As I type this, your beautiful son has been born. Congratulations!! Looking forward to seeing his lovely face. This is such a precious time...a brand new Baby! To bury your nose into his warm, soft neck and breathe in that newborn smell. Heaven! My favorite smell ever! I believe that Heaven will have that same scent. Enjoy this very special newborn season, Jan.
Much Love to you and all of your family!

Wow, these photos of you and Bret on the last day of your pregnancy is so stunning; what a privilege to have such visual memories!! I just know Zac is jumping up and down in heaven in anticipation of seeing his baby brother for the first time. And he'll be full of joy when he sees his brother in the arms of the mommy he knows so well himself... Much love to you xoxo
