hello world

hello out there. i thought i'd give you a bit of an intro into who i am, and then what i was sort of thinking of doing with this blog.

ok, so here we go...

i'm a blogger. i've been blogging for about 2 years.

i'm a child of God. i've been a christian all my life, but i only really feel that i've been living it, discovering it, this year.

i'm a career woman. i have aspirations of owning my own business one day... who knows it may not be so far away. in the meantime i work as a business analyst by day. and some nights.

i'm a south african. and proud of it. loving it. living it. i live in such an amazing country (cue rumbling thunder setting off car alarms), we have friendly (mostly) people and awesome weather. we have thunderstorms. and sweltering hot days. and different weather climates across the country. people of all sorts of skin tone and nationality and culture. and wildlife - in game reserves and nature reserves and sometimes in our backyards. it really is a rainbow nation. a rainbow country.

i'm a casual mountain biker. really casual. i do more cross country stuff than anything else. rocks are not my friends, yet... i participated in a whole lot of mtb races here in south africa last year, which is when i started cycling, and i plan on picking it up again in this next year. i can count the number of rides i've done this year on one hand... maybe two.

i'm a potter. once a week. it's fun and i can explore the creativity God has blessed me with.

i'm this and much more. but you're going to have to stick around to get to know me more.

victory*three... the name is derived from my own... victoire. it means victory. but apparently that's only half of it. i have been told that it means victory in three - victory in the father God, son Jesus, and Holy spirit. that's something special.

which gets to the purpose of this blog. i thought i'd blog about my adventures as a new christian, perhaps even make contact with others like me out there. but that's up to you.

now it's begun. enjoy - i hope you do as much as i hope to.
