I'm taking a leap of faith

I've been offered a job as production manager on a NatGeo Documentary.

Pro's - Better money and exposure. Working with a well know producer.
He has won more Golden Panda Awards than any other filmmaker. He won 2 Emmy Awards and the Queen's Award for Export Achievement.

Con's - Daily rate i.e. No work no pay. No bonus. No Leave. Only a 3 month contract.
I'm leaving a "safe" permanent job and I cannot afford to be unemployed so it's a big risk.

I'm taking a leap of faith and accepting his offer.
When you walk in faith success is inevitable.

The Break In :)

Well, I was sick this week. Didn't go to work from Monday to Wednesday. Thursday I was back in the office and my husband called me at 13h00 to say that we've been burgled.

Here's what happened:
10am the police saw 2 guys walking down the road carrying 2 big and suitcases and a computer screen. They stopped and asked the guys where they got the stuff. The guys told them that their boss gave it to them because it's broken. The policeman told him that it seems suspicious and they want to either A. meet the boss or B. take them back to the station to test the equipment. They chose option B.

The policeman plugged the computer and screen in and it all worked fine. They called the internet service provider (IBurst) and they gave them my husband's contact number.

The policeman then called Henk and told him we were burgled.
We had to go identify our stuff and got it all back. The only thing we lost is my daughter's cellphone.

For those of you outside of South Africa this is a MIRACLE!! and here is what they did wrong:
My son Matthew is an absolute believer. He wanted a PlayStation II. He prayed for 3 months and one day one a young guy at work asked me if Matthew has a PlayStation because he bought himself a XBox and he no longer uses his. He gave Matthew his PlayStation II and 7 games. It was my son's first miracle and he believes that PlayStation is from God.

Back to the burglars, These guys made the mistake of stealing that PlayStation... You don't steal something that was given by God!

God Bless!
