WILL THE REAL YIDDY PLEASE STAND UP.?
Hi all it’s been so long that I feel I have let some of my friends down. So much has happened that one really does not know where to start, so I have decided to leave out all my past and just catch up on the latest stuff.
I recently had the pleasure of dining with two friends one very close friend and the other one I saw last in std 5 (Grd 7) and just catching up on what happened in the last 19 years shew I did sound a little like a real wild child.
However the impression that was left of me with this friend was one of total rebellion YES I jolled (partied) as did most of us. I also fell pregnant before I was married. I did drugs I drank it was all so high and the moment thing. And my life to my friends was wild but never an exciting moment.
However there is always another side to people. I had my fair share of problems and crazy moments. But that is not who I am now. Yes I can still have fun but I have changed. This old friend of mine made a statement that she would never leave her teens with me ever. How sad that she did not know that actually I have been involved with the youth ministry for almost 10 years now. And have recently started studying for my degree in youth pastor. My life is challenged daily but with such a powerful God I overcome each thing with his strength.
Now having been that crazy person before has helped me to be able to council and witness to many young teens who are desperate to be understood.
Its great how I can sit now and without shame tell you how awesome God has been in my life, I realise I just lost half my bloggers but I really don’t mind. Those who need to hear will, my life story is fascinating if you know where I have been and where God has carried me. I will share with you all as I am ready.
My latest victory in Christ was one of my bestest friends came to visit from the UK. I have known Lesley since I was seven years old, I think that pretty much sums that up anyway her family is mine and recently her father fell very ill after struggling with a long term illness. It was a honour when she allowed me to pray and witness to him. Now by the time I saw her father he could no longer speak but managed to say Thank You. WOW he heard and I knew it would be okay. When he went I knew it was to a better place.
So to all of you out there. If you bump into a long lost friend, be careful who you are judging things are not always what they seem.

hey ydnic!
i'm so glad you're back!
i think yours is an incredibly powerful story- one thats definitely worth telling...
Its Lesley, your longest and oldest friend who recently visited and lost my dad to a short illness.
I can honestly say, regardless of how wild your youth was, you were always willing to give anyone in need the shirt off your own back.
I did say if ever I have children, I'd leave them with you, I know you have a heart of gold, because of your wild days, you are a brilliant parent!
