Happy Sunday, Steem Fam. I haven't actually posted about this officially, but @morkrock and I are NOT coming to SteemFest 😭

I've let a few of my Steem family know, but we had major passport issues, and were not able to get our visas in time. When we came to the realisation that we were not going to be able to go, I was obviously a bit sad, but I felt very calm, like it was meant to be.

I knew God had something planned for me, but I obviously didn't know what it was.

Fast forward a few weeks, and @morkrock's mom phoned me to let me know his uncle had passed away.

We spent the week in Swellendam, with his whole huge family, and we've just gotten home today. I now know that this is the reason we couldn't go to SteemFest. Our family needed us to be together, and God made sure that we were.

It's always amazing to me how that stuff works out. It shouldn't be, but it still amazes me.

I'm truly glad you got to spend time with family, everybody just props the other up as needed.

yeah, that's exactly how it went, it was good to be together x

So sorry to hear about your loss. Another big reason why we must trust in him to look after all our needs.

Steemfest...... now we can all go together next year if it is meant to be. ❤️

thank you so much my friend! Yes, you are right.

Ohh! It's sad to know that you lost your relative May God give salvation to his soul. Mam it's another bad news for us that you are not going to Steemfest as we will miss some interesting information, but life is not as easy and straightforward as we thinks.

God bless you dear Mam.

thanks my guy. I appreciate your kind wishes x

❤️ Ecclesiastes 3:1

God is really awesome..all are happened with a reason..and i think that was the true reason why God did not give you visa..

Condolence to my friend @morkrock

Sorry for your loss, thought the visa issues are only peculiar to my country.

nope, seems it is all of africa 😆

Ever watch Blood Diamond? TIA!

Yes, it's one of my favourite Leonardo DiCaprio's movies.

Sorry for your loss have a peaceful and enjoyable day

thanks so much, Paul!

Sorry for your loss. you are right. sometimes we try to force certain things when the universe knows perfectly what we need. We should always allow things to happen as they should, because we dont always know the reasons. May you and your family find comfort at this time. 🙏🏽🕊

thanks Michael. I just felt like I had to let SteemFest go, something within me felt... just let it go. Now I know why

<3 Condolances to @morkrock and yourself. Death is painful, but it's a weirdly soothing feeling to suddenly feel all the loved ones coming together as well. Life has an interesting way to help us being where we need to be. Big hugs!

thanks my babe! Yes, it was pretty amazing to feel all the love, we really united as a family x

are you in krakow?

Not yet, I'll leave Tuesday morning :-)

yay! have fun, and document it for us x

I love the backdrop behind you. Look so peaceful and relaxing. I am also dreaming of going to Steemfest someday .

Condolences @princessmewmew ❤️

So sorry for the loss and thoughts with all the family, the saying god works in mysterious ways is so true

yes it is! That's why, I always just put everything in his hands :)

I didn’t used to be that way but nowadays I very much am it’s the best way to be
Everything has a reason even if at the time we do not see it

So sorry to hear that i was sad too when i choiche to do not come at the steem fest i was not able to afford it because ive got extra bills to pay so i understand the feeling of sadness, by the way God plans are unknow to us so i hope we can join next year steem fest.

me too! Sorry that you are not going!
