I dedicate my Life into the Lord Jesus Christs hands


I believe with all my heart and mind that the Lord Jesus Christ loves me.  Looking at Ephesians 3: 18 – 19.  May I be able to feel and understand, how long, how wide, how deep, and how high His love really is; and to experience this love for myself, though it is so great that I will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it.  As so at last I will be filled up with God Himself.  It is my desire to become more and more like the Lord Jesus Christ.  I dedicate my life into His hands and I thank Him for the opportunity in being able to become a part of Him.  My answer for today is that God Loves me and I am His child.
Praise You Father God, Holy Spirit and Lord Jesus Christ!

How awesome is my God



We all believe someone or something is awesome.  I believe my God is awesome.  This is a dedication to the one and only true God.  Lord Jesus Christ.
Lord Almighty God, I will bring you praise, honour and worship You.  I love the Lord my God with all my heart, body, mind, soul.  You are worthy to be praised.  Your word teaches that if we dwell in your shelter that we will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the LORD, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.  I will come to You every day of my life and worship at Your feet.  I will bring You praise and honour and worship You.  Surely You LORD will save me from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.  I believe Lord You will cover me with Your feathers, and under Your wings I will find refuge; Your faithfulness will be my shield and rampart.  I believe LORD You will command Your angels concerning me to guard me in all my ways, they will lift me up in their hands, so that I will not strike my foot against a stone.  I will tread upon the lion and the cobra; I will trample the great lion and the serpent.  “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.  He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honour him.  With long life will I satisfy him and how him my salvation.”
How awesome is my God, Lord Jesus Christ I declare before all the world that I love and worship You.  I am Your child and thank You that You are my God.  Amen

Consider Your God



Today I want to consider my God.  I want to come into the Lords presence and I want to bring Him glory, honour and praises.  I have so much to be grateful over and I have a Lord who loves me and has chosen me.  I know that I am His child because I have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and saviour.  I know that the Lord has good things in store for me, things to prosper me and not to bring me harm.
Today ‘I want to praise the Lord my God, with all my heart; before the ‘gods’ I will sing your praises.  I will bow down towards your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.  When I called, you answered me; you made me bold and stout-hearted.’ Psalm 138

I will proclaim that ‘you hem me in – behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too loftily for me to attain.’ Psalm 139

Father God I will praise You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

What an awesome God I serve, I will not fear any harm to come to me, Lord You have called me by my name and I am your child.

The Spider



Today I was listening to Pastor Chip Ingram, I enjoy his services on the iPod very much.  I feel that he inspire me and that I keep a constant check on who I am.

‘Balancing Life’s demands’ is a series that I have been listening to and Pastor Chip has been talking about how to balance our lives.  I have come to realise that I am just like anybody else, I am preoccupied with all kinds of things and I keep busy with a lot of this, that and the other.  I run around the house cleaning, cooking and ironing.  Making sure everything is in place but the thing that should take priority in my own life is honest time and dedication to the Lord my God.

My spider I would say is ‘busyness’ I have forgotten to balance my life and I have become entangled with being so busy.  

The Lord has brought me to this place in my life where I need to stop, become quiet and listen to the Lord.  I believe God is making me take some time out and spending it in His presence.  I want to grow spiritually and I want the Lord to lift me up from my situation.

So what are the spiders in your life?  Are you accountable and taking responsibility for our own actions and setting time aside for God?  

Wow, not that easy hey?  You may say, I read my Bible and pray every day.  Yip, so do I and I am thinking I need more of God to help me balance my life.  What about you?

The end of fall


The leaves are still falling from the trees and there is a chill in the air.  The puppies come in and follow me all around the house.  We tidy and clean and then I come and sit behind my computer and start making notes of my days.  It has been almost two years now that I have worked in an office.  I miss the buzz and the busyness of the people around me.

My husband works till about 19h00 at night and then only gets home after 20h00.  He works most weekends because the pay is good and the project needs to be done.  He is a great man; I admire him and think the world of him.  He works hard and loves us all.  The children don’t know how lucky they are to have a dad like him. 
With winter knocking at our door I am grateful for spending time with the children and being able to collect them from school and check their homework with them.  It is stressful at times when Pieter doesn’t do his homework and he doesn’t tell me he had something to do.  He always seems to forget – my goodness.

Well I am hoping my tulips will come up this year and bloom, I am looking forward to seeing what they will look like.  Then when spring arrives we are hoping to see our second grandchild.  The knitting is going strong at home so hopefully I would have completed something nice for this little one.  But let's get through this winter and hopefully the Lord will open a door for me to go back to work again.  In the mean time I am enjoying the time in God’s word and learning as much as I can.  We too have sessions in our lives and this is what I am learning.  How great is our God, He cares about us even when we believe He has forgotten us.
