Joanie Viljoen
This year was a year with so many challenges and disappointments, dreams that I built and put my whole heart and soul into them were destroyed in a blink of an eye, but I kept believing and trusting that the Lord put me on the path for a reason, I was for 2 weeks at SADTC dog training college, what a challenge to be behind the books again at 36 and my husband and children far away from me, with Sheriff by my side we tackled everything and unpacked a lot of tears, it wasn’t easy, but after 2 weeks Could I stand with my Certificates as a trained dog instructor, it was worth it, I built a lot of friendships and those that were already there were built even stronger, I know in my heart the Lord has a plan for our lives, no matter how difficult it is, I feed l also proud to be called His child and to be able to live out His purpose for our lives. Thank you to everyone at college and at home who assisted me and encouraged me to keep going and push through.
