James grew up in a long tradition of a German family with their Zulu labourers on the Stegens Heim farm in the Umvoti valley. \u00a0James’ father also ministers to the Zulu community in the valley and are much loved by the people. \u00a0So when James finally brought a lady to the farm to introduce her as his future wife, the demands were made clear: “We helped in your upbringing and prayed for your future wife, so we want a traditional wedding…and we will do the wedding!”<\/p>\n

And what a wonderful way it was to greet the end of 2012 and meet the beginning of 2013 on this beautiful piece of heritage. \u00a0We were received with such a warm welcome and soon felt part of the family. \u00a0Both James and Annette come from big closely knit families, which made the fellowship and experience so precious. \u00a0Since we arrived on the farm, we could sense the beautiful spirit in which all the Zulus committed their labour. \u00a0Antie Frita (who helped to raise James) and her team of Zulu ladies worked hard to prepare a\u00a0sumptuous\u00a0meal for all the people \u00a0in the valley that came to celebrate in this joyous day. \u00a0We thoroughly enjoyed a long day of beautiful Zulu traditional events. \u00a0And although the 2 days were rainy and misty most of the time, we couldn’t resist to also do a few late afternoon couple photos of them on the farm, seeing that these images will become part of the history of the farm and it’s families.<\/p>\n

James and Annette, we are so blessed in getting to know you and share in all these amazing memories with you. \u00a0We can’t wait to sit on the stoep with you in 5 of 10 years’ time and look back on all the grace that God has bestowed on us and how amazingly His plans has unfolded for us, all to His glory! \u00a0Lots of love from us! \u00a0Lucinda and Petrus<\/p>\n

And we know that in all things God works for the good\u00a0of those who love him, who\u00a0have been called\u00a0according to his purpose.\u00a0\u00a0For those God foreknew\u00a0he also predestined\u00a0to be conformed to the image of his Son,\u00a0that he might be the firstborn\u00a0among many brothers and sisters.\u00a0\u00a0And those he predestined,\u00a0he also called;\u00a0those he called, he also justified;\u00a0those he justified, he also glorified.\u00a0\u00a0– \u00a0Romans 8:28-31<\/p>\n
