Über mich

Motto
to live a life that counts for eternity
Ich über mich
Hi, I'm Rachel, and I'm a westie born and bred. Went to Massey High and now at a law firm in town doing administration stuff.

Jesus Christ is numero uno in my life, my saviour and friend, he makes life extreme and beautiful. He fills the hole in my life that nothing else could.

Love my family and my friends, my awesome husband Sam, and all the crew at North West Baptist, my home on earth.

I am a passionate believer in making a difference and want nothing else in this life than to make the world a little better for someone, somewhere. We are so blessed in NZ we can do anything we put our minds to. I have a sponsor child in Malawi named Charles and Patrick in Uganda I'm so stoked to be blessed enough to be able to do

Also love D&M's (deep and meaningful's!)

  • We're engaged!!!

    Hi friends and family!

    Exciting news!!! Sam and I got engaged last night!!! We are both so happy.

    My Monday morning began like any other, but I was excited as we were having a team lunch at work. Little did I know the real reason behind this "team lunch"! At 12:30 my workmates and I got together and walked down to Wagamama restaurant in High Street, needless to say I was very surprised to see my darling Sam waiting outside the restaurant with two backpacks packed. I have no idea what is going on! Jenny says to me "Well Rach, take the rest of the day off, seeya later!'" and with that, Jenny, Jess and Laura take off! I sense something is definitely up and am so nervously excited I can hardly eat my yummy lunch! Sam is secretive as usual and never tells me what is going on so he keeps me guessing!

    After our meal we get up and walk towards downtown where we head to the ferry terminals and he gives me my backpack and tells me to go change! I discover board shorts, togs, teeshirt and jandels... hmmmm.... We then board a ferry to Waiheke! Yay! I still had no idea what we were doing though. Sam takes me down to a kayak hire place down in the bay on Waiheke where we don a two-man kayak and head out for a few hours on a very beautiful relaxing and fun little adventure! We met a couple coming back from their kayak who took, a few pics for us which was cool. We pulled up in a little bay for afternoon tea and drink grapejuice and eat strawberries and chocolate in a cute little cave (I got chocolate sauce all over myself it was hilarious!) and then we headed back in to take a ferry back to the city. While we were waiting for our ferry to come in we saw two beautiful stingrays gliding along and an electric pink jellyfish!! Awesome!!!

    When we got back to Auckland and Sam's car, we dropped off our wet gears and picked up some nice clothes and stuff to get ready for dinner and headed to my work to have a quick shower and doll up! He was so thoughtful he knew to bring my favourite new dress and perfume :) I was very impressed!! We then walked to a little restaurant called Tony's which is in Lorne Street in the city. It was absolutely perfect! They played Frank Sinatra and had vintage pictures on the wall and served amaaazing food. When we arrived there was a table all set up for us with rose petals on it and my favourite flowers in a vase - scented white lilies!! We had crumbed Camembert and amazing steaks for dinner, although I was surprised that Sam struggled to finish his, very unusual which made me question whether he was nervous about something... At some point after dinner he stood up and pulled me to my feet and said "it's time!" and lead me towards a piano in the corner of the room which I hadn't noticed! My heart was going a million miles an hour!!!! He got everyone in the restaurant's attention and announced he would be playing me a song!! I was stunned speechless!! He played and sung me the most beautiful song he had written himself in which he sung about the things he loves about me and how with God as number one in my life, he wanted to be my number two!!! I was so blown away I just stood there almost in tears and shaking! After he had finished he came out from behind the piano, got down on one knee and proposed with a beautiful diamond ring! Of course I said yes straight away and we hugged and kissed and everyone applauded in the restaurant!!! The waitress brought us out some sparkling grape juice to toast and people kept coming and congratulating us, we even had one lady come and give us her card (she's a wedding photographer!!) and we just sat there grinning excitedly (me squealing a bit and saying ohmigosh ohmigosh!!!) and talking about exciting things to come and the beauty of being able to talk freely about a future together now. A few older married couples told us that marriage is awesome and how happy they are and we will be which was really special. After all this we left the restaurant and Sam drove us to Parne

  • Don't Limit Yourselves!! (Some Inspiration)

    “Don’t allow age to limit your success. Be willing to learn and grow continually, but refuse to put yourself in a box that says you won’t have significant influence at this stage of your life. You have opportunities to influence every day. Be willing to take risks, take on tasks that will stretch you beyond your comfort zone and empower you to move to the next level more quickly.”
    - Valorie Burton

    "When God chooses a man to do His work, He usually selects one who must rely upon Him."
    - Louis Bartet

    “Dare to do what is just, not what fancy may call for; lose no time with what may be, but boldly grasp what is real. The world of thought is escape; freedom comes only through action.”
    – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

    "The world is desperate to know that it’s possible to believe in something so strongly that you’re willing to live for it… or even die for it. When they see someone with that kind of conviction, it’s magnetic. They can’t help being influenced by it.”
    – Ben Ortlip

  • Ben Harper - Forever

    This is a beautiful song. It moves me. Makes me think.

    Not talkin bout a year
    No not three or four
    I dont want that kind of forever
    In my life anymore
    Forever always seems
    To be around when it begins
    But forever never seems
    To be around when it ends
    So give me your forever
    Please your forever
    Not a day less will do
    From you

    People spend so much time
    Every single day
    Runnin round all over town
    Givin their forever away
    But no not me
    I wont let my forever roam
    And now I hope I can find
    My forever a home
    So give me your forever
    Please your forever
    Not a day less will do
    From you

    Like a handless clock with numbers
    An infinite of time
    No not the forever found
    Only in the mind
    Forever always seems
    To be around when things begin
    But forever never seems
    To be around when things end
    So give me your forever
    Please your forever
    Not a day less will do
    From you
