IT’S TIME TO MAKE ALIYAH!

The Hebrew word for immigration (aliyah) means ascent or a spiritual going up.

Whether you are Jewish or not - It’s time to make aliyah!

A long, long time ago, in 1984 to be precise! Through my tears and anguish over the loss of my marriage and the dissolution of my family - I was only just learning the pain of divorce, I cried out to God and He said….. ALIYAH!!

What on earth did it mean? I had absolutely no idea! At that time I was searching the Scriptures and Revelation 2 mentioned that overcomers receive a new name only known to themselves, and for many years that is what I believed it to be and mean.

Revelation 2 vs 17 - He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.

I prayed and prayed to meet a Jewish person who could explain a lot of the Scriptures to me and in 2002 my prayers were answered. I met, through organic vegetable farming, my very dear born-again Jewish forever friend. This Princess and daughter of the King taught me so much, but the blessing she brought was The Lord’s Supper Celebration - the knowledge of the key of Sabbath-keeping!

So making aliyah was explained to me.

Nowadays of course all one has to do is…… a google search!!!! It’s all there for anyone to see!

The golden pyramid of the New Jerusalem, as is told, has 12 gates …..

Revelation 21 vs 12 - 14

It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. The wall of the city had twelve foundations and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the lamb.

Which Jewish name will you bear when you arrive at the gates - and which gate will you be able to enter? Or is the New Jerusalem only for Jews - who incidentally don’t read the New Testament unless they are born-again - gets you thinking now doesn’t it?

Revelation 21 vs 7

He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.

SEASONS GREETINGS FROM ZUMALAND

My Crown Prince and I attended the over-crowded 8am church service at the Grace Family Church in my home village Christmas morning. Having been nearly blown away by the introductory music - which is so loud and almost shouted out - blow me down with a feather - the message came, entitled - WHAT’S IN A NAME?

Could the pastor, Mark, have read my blog? His theme - the good old-fashioned faerytale - obviously featuring the star-crossed lovers or TWIN SOULS - Romeo and Juliet and their not so happily ever after!!!! His point being the importance of a name - Jesus!

From the Songs of Isaiah!

And he will be called

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace,

Of the increase of his government and

Peace

There will be no end.

He will reign on David’s throne

And over his kingdom,

Establishing and upholding it

With justice and righteousness

This was written on the screens from another Bible version - other than the NIV and said it all a little differently - the important part being that the last part……..

From that time on and forever.

The zeal of the LORD Almighty

Will accomplish this.

………. was left out!

The pamphlet reads:

QUOTE - The theme for Christmas - HOPE OF THE WORLD - Matthew 12 vs 21.

It comes from Matthew chapter 12 and the verse says,

His name shall be called the hope of the world.

The rest of the passage connects hope to justice, and from a biblical view, hope is about everything will be OK and, justice will prevail. UNQUOTE

Leaving the church became something of a nightmare - having left the faerytale and the happily ever after behind - and the hope that the new President of the ANC Jacob Zuma will be OK - the congregation needs policing to get out the parking lot and to OBEY THE RULES OF THE ROAD!

Yes, in order for the next bunch of believers to arrive on time for the 9,30am service the Metro Police were called to dutifully insist, by carefully placed orange cones at the entrance, that all believers TURN LEFT and DO NOT CROSS OVER THE SOLID WHITE LINE AND TURN RIGHT TO GO INTO THE VILLAGE (thus endangering the lives of on-coming motorists and their own) AND ensuring a more steady flow of traffic - making it QUICKER for us all to get away!!!

Self-governance and the decision to do what is right has not yet hit home!!!

What will happen when the last part of the song of Isaiah takes precedence -

Establishing and upholding (His kingdom) with justice and righteousness….

From that time on and forever.

The zeal of the LORD Almighty

Will accomplish this.

??????

Ever wondered what heaven would be like???????

Everyone doing their own thing - pulling in hundreds of directions - all wanting things to go their own way - pretty much chaos - call in the cops to sort it all out!!!

S.A.F.A. SONG

1 Peter 2 vs 16 and 17

Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil;

live as servants of God.

Show proper respect to everyone;

Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honour the King.

Living the Faerytale - Part 1

Having married at 19, had two children by the age 22, and divorced by age 29, I had clearly lived the fairytale without the happily ever after!

Totally disillusioned I decided - I’m the man. This was 1984!

I was brought up, as is common these days for girls, to be educated and take up a career in the same way that men do - encouraged to regard marriage and bringing up our own children although seriously, but something to be taken on, after/during focusing on our careers!!! Clearly I did not see marriage/motherhood as a full-time, hands-on, this is what I want to succeed at, let me put all my energy and focus on, quest!!! I naively assumed this would all sort itself out as life went along!

Once my children were of school going age my worldview was severely shaken up. Working as a secretary at the time, I suddenly thought being a teacher would have been a far better career option as I could then work and be with my children when they finished school!! When making my career choice as a school leaver this was furthest from my mind - the last career I wanted to do was - nursing or teaching.

Once divorced I realized to be I’m the man, I needed to earn more than a meager secretaries wage - I wanted to be the boss!

About a year of being the boss in a business that I took over from my Granny was enough for me and I decided to take up my first love - music and combine it with my new found career option to earn a living and I started teaching guitar!

Soon I was music assistant to the Director of Music at a prominent private Durban boys preparatory school - and writing my own songs - 1987/88.

Living the Faerytale - Part 2

During this period I met and married another prince!!! This time however, I became the Wicked Stepmother - this was around the time of the release of the movie My Stepmother’s an Alien I never got to see the movie, but I know that this title made lots of sense to my step children at the time!

This marriage lasted about 18 months and left me pretty exhausted to say the least.

The chaos that we experienced when two ready made families amalgamated was more than any of us could bear!

A statistic once again at the ripe old age of 33 - I, who did not believe in divorce - was devastated and broken hearted.

Because of the chaos and sibling rivalry going on during my 2^nd marriage, my two children had decided to go to live with their Dad and stepmother - my worst nightmare had come true!

The Light at the End of the Tunnel

Having lost my home for the second time I packed all that I could fit into my little Nissan bakkie and moved into a rented room About 8 months later I had managed to rent a cottage and even though I had no furniture this was much better than sleeping on a mattress on the floor in my one room!

My devastation at being a statistic was complete - but I hung on to the thought -

For every Adam there is an Eve.

One day I threw myself face down on the mattress and cried - Beam me up Scottie - if this is it - then beam me up - for I have no purpose here. After hours of crying of course there I still was - going nowhere fast!! But a peace that passes all understanding was mine!

LIVING THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER

Weekends in my little cottage were very lonely, and I spent most of the time sleeping (I had many symptoms of ME - but that is another story). I could go to bed on a Friday night and wake up Sunday morning - eat - and go back to sleep until Monday morning when I had to go back work!

One such weekend on the 16th December 1990, I was feeling very low, and grabbing my guitar I started strumming the beat of a waltz that was to turn into a yearning love song for yet another chance at the faerytale in order to get to the part I had twice missed - the happily ever after!!

I was way past the stage of blaming this one or that, this circumstance or that and had grown to realize that even though I had not been perfect in both marriages - but neither had they - the princes - I deserved another shot! This time I would follow the star given to me - no matter what!

Alienated from family and friends - no one understood my pain, my circumstances, my situation, my decisions - I longed to be understood and accepted for who I am - warts and all!

On the 22^nd December 1990, by a miracle, rent by the Stars and the Source of my light, engineered by my lioness forever friend, I met my Lion Prince! We have been together ever since - all of 17 years this December 22^nd and married for 12 and a half years a month later on 22^nd January 2008!

It all began ……..

Once upon a time …….. oh yes, first we had the faerytale (this too is another story) and only after killing many dragons, we finally reached…………

……..and they lived happily ever after.

MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS

Once I realized that the Garden Of Eden in the Bible is actually the garden of my mind, everything started to make good sense. When I understood Genesis 2, when Adam is told not to eat from the tree as he will surely die, means do not eat from the tree as you will surely lose your mind - everything became clear to me.

As a result of this revelation and having regained my mind, I have slowed my life down to three meals per day. That means every day is spent, planning, purchasing, and preparing three nutritious home cooked / home prepared meals. Hectic you might say! Not in the least - I am so blessed and enjoying every minute of my life.

Here I am! I Stand at the Door and Knock

November 30th, 2007

SONG NO 1

Chorus

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock,

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.

If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,

I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

Verse 1

Come, all who’re thirsty, come to the waters;

And you, who have no money, come buy and eat!

Come, buy wine and milk, without money or cost.

Why spend your money on what is not bread?

Listen, listen to me and eat what is good, and

Your soul will delight in the richest of fare.

Give ear and come to me; that your soul may live.

I will make an everlasting covenant with you.

Chorus

My faithful love, promised to David.

See, I have made him a witness to the peoples,

A leader and commander of the peoples,

Surely you will summon nations you know not,

And nations that do not know you, will hasten to you,

Because of the Lord your God.

Seek the Lord while He may be found;

Call on Him while He is near.

Chorus

NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE - CASTLE OF THE HOLY GRAIL

GRAIL KING- KING LUDWIG II

King Ludwig II.

King of Bavaria 1864 - 1886, * 25. 8. 1845 Nymphenburg,
13. 6. 1886 in Lake Starnberg.

The young king

In 1864 Ludwig II acceded to the throne at the age of 18 without any experience of life or politics, but adored by women. Looking back in 1873, he described it thus:

I became king much too early. I had not learned enough. I had made such a good beginning … with the learning of state laws. Suddenly I was snatched away from my books and set on the throne. Well, I am still trying to learn…

In 1866 Ludwig II suffered the biggest defeat of his life: in1866, the expanding state of Prussia conquered Austria and Bavaria in the German War. From then on, Bavaria’s foreign policy was dictated by Prussia and the king was only a vassal of his Prussian uncle.

Wagner

Crown Prince Ludwig was already fascinated by the music dramas and writings of Richard Wagner. He wanted to bring the composer to Munich as soon as he became king, and realize his dream of an opera festival. In 1864 he summoned Wagner to him and thus rescued him from a serious financial crisis.

… Today I was brought to him He is unfortunately so beautiful and wise, soulful and lordly, that I fear his life must fade away like a divine dream in this base world… You cannot imagine the magic of his regard: if he remains alive it will be a great miracle wrote the composer after his first meeting.

Grail King

Ludwig II increasingly identified himself with Parzival, the legendary medieval figure who became Grail King through his purity and faith and thereby redeemed his sin-laden uncle. The inner battle for freedom from sin and purity is distressingly evident in the diaries of the extremely pious king. This particular legend is the subject of Richard Wagner’s last work Parsifal which he began in 1877. Wagner and his circle privately referred to the king as Parsifal and his problems were incorporated into the drama of the Grail. Neuschwanstein, originally a monument to the minnesingers of medieval times, was reinterpreted as the Castle of the Holy Grail and the Throne Room was redesigned as the Hall of the Holy Grail - dedicated to the mystery of salvation for the world.

Fantasy world

Ludwig II was possessed by the idea of a holy kingdom by the Grace of God. In reality he was a constitutional monarch, a head of state with rights and duties and little freedom of action. For this reason he built a fantasy world around him in which - far removed from reality - he could feel he was a real king. From 1875 on he lived at night and slept during the day.

Idealized designs by scene painters for a New Hohenschwangau Castlehigh above the tranquil Hohenschwangau of Ludwig II’s father, a Byzantine Palace and a copy of Versailles were already in existence by 1868. From the beginning, Ludwig’s fantasy world embraced several different epochs. The New Castle(subsequently Neuschwanstein), was based on Christian kingship in the Middle Ages, and the new Versailles, built from 1878 on the Herreninsel, recalls the baroque absolutism of the Bourbon King of France. Linderhof in the Graswangtal, built from 1869, imitates a variety of styles, with the help of the latest technology.

The recluse

The ideal monarchical poetic solitude which the king chose for himself was not in the long run compatible with his duties as a head of state. The new settings he was constantly devising for himself were equally beyond the private means of a king. Ludwig failed through his desire to anchor his illusions and dreams in reality.

From 1885 on foreign banks threatened to seize his property. The king’s refusal to react rationally led the government to declare him insane and depose him in 1886 - a procedure not provided for in the Bavarian constitution. Ludwig II was interned in Berg Palace. The next day he died in mysterious circumstances in Lake Starnberg, together with the psychiatrist who had certified him as insane.

THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER

THE AWAKENING OF THE SLEEPING BEAUTY

Once upon a time there lived a little girl, in a small now-famous village on the east coast of Africa , who grew up to be a princess. When she realized that she had been born with a golden crown filled with light and love, she decided to open the door and let that light shine out to the whole wide world!

It wasnt’ always like that. Life was a struggle, strained relationships, broken marriages, single parenting, financial difficulties, major health issues she could have written a book with all the episodes, traumas and tragedies of her life.

But once she realized she was a Princess who lived in the now, all that changed like Cinderella, into the happily ever after that we are all searching for.

Long, long ago in the early 1970’s this Princess bought herself the book Linda Goodman Love Signs A New Approach to the Human Heart. In this book, she read the saying:

If it is negative, it didn’t happen, except in the world of illusion.

She wondered how that could be when everything around her was tattered and torn, in pain, crying, and as sure as it was born - dying, sometimes a slow death and sometimes a jarring, shattering, shocking sudden death.

This is what happened to her marriage of nearly ten years. The shock of a divorce is something most people do not recover from. The scars, the suffering and the pain go on, and on, and on, the curse goes down to the fourth generation leaving the children in despair!

Where, oh where is (love?) my Twin Soul? she would cry!

LIVING THE FAERYTALE

HERE I AM! I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK!

The peaceful air of this quiet Sunday morning was shattered by the ringing of my husband cell phone! The alarm was going off at our business premises, and the incoming call was from our security company saying that they suspect a break-in!! The time 5,27am!!!

Ten minutes later my husband called the security company to find out that it was a break-in but when the call out car arrived the suspects had already left! My husband had a quick shower and drove the ten minutes to see what was happening.

He is still not back as he is busy with the police!

It is another cloudy day here in Umhlanga, which is situated about 15 minutes drive north from the greater Durban area of a normally sunny South Africa! The wind is picking up and I wonder if the kite surfers will be able to harness it later on, down at kite beach just north of the Sun Coast Casino and just south of our famous river mouth the Umgeni, which is commonly known as the Blue Lagoon!!

But all is well here at home! The birds are still busy making their nest under the eaves of our patio! This is the 3^rd within the month of November. The first one blew down. It had 3 little eggs in it which cracked and splattered on the beautiful porcelain tiles! The little sparrows then attempted to make another nest on the other side under the eaves this one blew away within a few days. And yesterday they began making another home in the same spot as the first nest had been. Every day busy they are bringing pieces of grass most of which fall down the minute they stuff them into the gap in the eaves and litter the patio! They never take the fallen piece and try again they fly off and find another more suitable piece to use! Never tiring of their daily work, and already the nest has taken good shape.

The butterflies are hopping and skipping amongst the plants beside the pool and the water from the little waterfall at the pool is splashing merrily! The sea is a beautiful blue/grey and appears to be calm and placid for the time being! Even though it rained during the night, the road and wooden sun-deck is dry and it is altogether a glorious morning!

And my husband is on his way home; it is 7,30am!
