Awesome Jess!!

Many tourists say that SA is the most beautiful country in the world...sometimes I dissagree with that, but maybe THEY see something about this country that WE don't! :)

Love you!

Hello there, Jessica. =) I met you on Buzz, and I found your blog through my sister, Taylor's blog.
I love your blog! It has such a nice, bright, template. I also love the pictures on your sidebars with the scriptures on them.

Have a good day!

Amy - there's a lot of beauty here but unfortunately there is also a lot we don't like. But I suppose that's the same with every country!

Emma - Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! Glad you like our blog and thanks for the link to yours. :D

Love,
~Jess

What a lovely song to be the anthem. I love the fact that it desires the Lord in its words.

That's really cool, Jess! Are you missionaries or something...?

Blessings,
~Laura

Jessica Rebekah said...

Laura - No, not missionaries as such. SA is our home country. :) But we as Christians trust that the Lord will use us wherever we are to testify of Him. :)

Thank you for sharing this! I admit that I do not know very much about South Africa, but I learned a lot in one of my recent online college classes. I read two books by South African authors, and it was eye-opening. Your anthem is beautiful!
