The clock is ticking




Acts 17:26Amplified Bible (AMP)

26 And He made from one [common origin, one source, one blood] all nations of men to settle on the face of the earth, having definitely determined [their] allotted periods of time and the fixed boundaries of their habitation (their settlements, lands, and abodes),

The Lord of Israel our God made us all in the image of Himself, Adam was our forefather.  Looking at my reflecting in the mirror at times I realize my hair is going grey, my skin isn’t as lovely as it used to be.  God allotted a certain amount of time for me to live my life on this earth.  How I wanted to live was totally up to me, I decided to get married and with God’s blessings have three beautiful children and two beautiful grandchildren.


Then life happened and the hardening of my heart took place I divorced my husband and moved on in my life.  Then I met someone really stunning, a man really precious and kind and most of very loving.

The best of all is time is moving so fast, I realized today, I was in July and thinking about where I am right now it’s almost my birthday in November.  Gosh the clock is ticking and time is flying, I feel like I don’t have enough time to do all the things I am supposed to.

My thoughts are am I in God’s perfect will?  Am I in God’s permissive will?  Where am I in God’s will?  

I really want to know, Lord God please show me.

Submission to Governing Authorities

Romans 13:1New International Version (NIV)

13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 


Listening to the kids talk about their teachers and friends it struck me that today's children do not respect people in authority.  I also notice the way they address me and the way they speak to me.  I wonder what their futures will look like going forward.  It seems to submit to people in authority means that you are weak and have no ‘back bone’ according to what I hear.

Going forward it is my heart’s desire to be submissive to people in authority and to work as though I am working for the Lord and not for people.  Always going the extra mile, continually working hard and making my work the best there is.  Perhaps by leading by example people will change their perspective on life.

Prayer:  Abba Father humbly I submit my life into Your hands and pray for guidance, asking that You will help me be submissive to authority and realise Your hand is over each one of us.  Guide us as we go through this day in Jesus Holy name.  Amen

What Will love Be Like in 100 Years?



When I look at today’s people I do wonder if there will be love in this world in 100 years from today and I do believe that we will still see love on this earth.

God is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow and let’s be honest God is love.  I have always maintained that love is not a feeling but an act of your heart.

People will probably be techno geniuses and they will do all kinds of interesting things, but love will never change, our hearts will always be in the right place.

Women are always going to be beautiful and I believe mothers that will love their children.
I can see people walking hand in hand laughing and looking after their children.  They will want the best for their children.  

Love will endure whatever comes its way, because love is kind, unforgiving, compassionate, friendly, passionate and available to help you always.  Even in a 1 000 years love will endure and stay forever.  Jesus so loved the world that He died for our sins and arose and sits on the right hand of the LORD Almighty God.

My wish list - Royal Albert set ;-)


Today I am putting this out there, it is my heart’s desire to own a beautiful Royal Albert set, as a South African it seems almost impossible but I do so love this set.  My aunty used to serve us coffee in her set and I used to admire the beautiful cups.

To my mind this was a sign of such royalty, I would also love to have tea with Queen of England one day.  You know just sitting in her company chatting about the Lord.   

God says in His word that He will give us our hearts desires.  I believe that one day I will be the proud owner of this lovely set.


God is good, all the time!!

Secret to life ...


Jeremiah 29:11 New Living Translation (NLT)
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

As I think on this verse as many of you do as well, I believe that the Lord is speaking into my heart.  

Think about this for a moment, to me:

  •  This is my foundation in life
  •  The Lord says: ‘for I (the Lord) knows the plans He has for me (Yvette)
  •  They are plans for good and
  •  NOT for disaster
  •  To give me (Yvette) a future and a hope
Awesome! The Lord Almighty knows me, He knows the plans He has for me and they are for good and not a disaster, to give me a future and hope.  

The secret to my life is God Almighty, the Bible and Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit. 

What is your secret?
