“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.  Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”

They always talk about the Eastern Cape being a small place. It doesn’t take long for you to talk to someone before you realise you know someone they know. True as Bob.

Even though David and Olga are not from the Eastern Cape (they have lived almost in every province other than the EC), they have just moved to Port Elizabeth and half way through the shoot we clicked that we know the same people. The more we talked the longer the list of people we knew in common got. That’s when I realised…hierdie is my dam se ganse…hierdie is my hart se mense.

Liewe David en Olga- dankie dat ek hierdie fase van julle ouerskap op kamera kon vasvang! Dit was so heerlik om julle te onmoet en ek is so opgewonde vir julle oor die koms van Joshua. Wat ‘n blessing! Mag die Here julle deur elke stap van die swangerskap en geboorte proses behoed en bewaar, en julle soveel wysheid, krag, liefde, vreugde, vrede en rus gee as ouers. Ek weet somer die Here het groot planne vir julle as ‘n familie vir Sy koningkryk en glorie. Blessings en liefde vir julle!

Dankie ook aan my dierbare assistent en man, Fanie. Jy is die beste :)
