My foundation has been shaken a couple of times and I realise that God is moving me into the place where I am supposed to be. I find it difficult to always stay focused and stay in prayer. I find that my current position makes me feel miserable and I am tired of the negative vibe in the office.
"Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established." Romans 13: 1
"May the best day of your past Be the worst day of your future." My Dad always wished me this Irish Blessing and I want it to matter today and every other day in my life.

Forgiven
Favour and Blessings for you
today, it is my prayer that you would enjoy God’s love, grace and healing
wherever you are. Forgiving our friends,
family or colleagues for some offense they performed against us is often
difficult. People are imperfect and can
do the strangest things. You may have
taken offence by a word or action against you.
Perhaps someone has said or done something to cause you to really feel
angry at them. You find that forgiving
them for their trespasses don’t sit well with you. The problem with forgiveness is that once you
keep the offence in your heart you grow another seed called bitterness. The thing about bitterness is that it grows really fast. People who tend to be bitter have suffered a really bad ordeal and the forgiving of the
offense seems impossible. Why would you
forgive someone who hurt you and still gets away with their offenses? Simple, they don’t even realise you are
struggling with forgiveness and carry on with their own lives, it doesn’t
really affect them. You on the other
hand have these thoughts that plague you constantly and the more you dwell on
the topic the bitter you become.
My friend the first step to forgiving someone is to actually
speak it out load so that your own ears can hear what you have said. The next step would be to phone or write the
person tell them “I forgive you for doing this”, it doesn’t mean you agree with
what has happened but it means you have dealt with it and you are moving
on. Then write it on a piece of paper
and go and burn it as a symbol that you have put it behind you.
God is faithful and will always help you through your trials
and tribulations. Lift up your heart,
body and soul to the Lord so that He may heal you. Isaiah 43: 19 ‘For I am about to do something
new. See, I have already begun!’
Father God, in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ I pray for
the forgiveness of sin in my own life.
Lord I forgive the people You know I have identified for the offenses
they have done against me. Lord I speak
life into their lives and set them free.
Lord I humble myself before You and ask that by Your mercy and grace You
will lift me up again. Lord I ask that
You sewer the seeds of un-forgiveness and bitterness in the Holy Name of Jesus
Christ, replacing these two bad seeds with compassion
and gentleness. In Jesus Christs Name I pray. Amen

Supernatural Favour
Joshua was one of those guys that hung around Moses and
Aaron and he wanted to experience the supernatural favour of God in his own
life. Wherever Moses went Joshua was in
toe. Joshua was really positioning
himself to get to know God through walking and talking with Moses and
Aaron. By being faithful in service to
Moses and Aaron, Joshua walked in the favour of God. ‘That day the LORD exalted Joshua in the
sight of all Israel; and they revered him all the days of his life …’ Joshua 4:
14.
It is my desire to pray for you this evening, I want to pray
and ask the Lord God to bless all my family and friends with His supernatural
favour. I want to ask that each person
that reads my blog will enjoy the supernatural favour of God in their own lives
and that they will know God is out there for all of them.
This little word that is out there … Lord blesses this word
that it may return to You. Lord thank
You for Your supernatural favour in my own life and thank You for this
opportunity in spreading Your word.
In the name of Jesus Christ … Amen

Dream
I
have many dreams but the one I dream about is going away for about a week to
Bora-Bora with my husband. Swimming in the see, laying on the deck in the sun
and soaking up some sun rays. We can
dream and who know God is great I will still have that opportunity.
So heres to my dream, Lord I would love to go to the Island
of Bora-Bora.
How beautiful!! Wowo

Not everyone is out to get you! ( Note to self!!! )
Good morning, don’t you want to make today one of
those days where you clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness and
walking in humility, gentleness and being patient with all the people
around you. Let’s take a softer approach when
we deal with our own families and friends. It seems we are harsher
with the people closest to us than with strangers we don’t even know.
Why do you think we do that? We forget that these people closest to us
are actually our loved ones.
I want to challenge you today to clothe yourselves
with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patient. Let’s put
this out there and work on this today. Let’s remind ourselves that not
everybody is out to get us, especially the
people closest to us. So let me know how your day went.
A verse to meditate on while we pursue our goal in being more gentle and kinder:
Colossians 3: 12 ‘As God’s chosen people, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.’

Psss you! Hmmm? Yes you.
These flowers are for you. Don’t you know that you are one of my favourite friend? Yes, You!
I don’t want others to know this; but you really are great!! I like your smile and I like your
laughter. It’s so nice to see you
sitting behind your desk reading my blog.
Thank you!
Today’s tip:
Galatians 6: 9
‘and let us not grow weary while doing good,
for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.’
Subscribe to being kinder and by looking for the good in all
your friends and family.
Stay focused
and don’t gossip.
Once you get that
under control you will be friendlier and more appreciated by your family and
friends.
Become that nice guy.

Blessing my Grandchildren
A little girl
has come into my life. As a grandmother
I am excited and happy to report to you that the Lord God has blessed our
family with a beautiful little girl.
Born 21 October 2012 at 15h00 in Johannesburg. This little darling has made her appearance
and it is my great honour to announce the birth of this little girl.
As a granny
of another beautiful littler girl aged 3 I want to speak a beautiful and
blessed life into these two little girls’ lives.
My blessing
for both of these little girls: May the
road ahead of them be filled with supernatural favour of God above and with man
on earth. May the Lord Jesus Christ be
their High Priest and may they both be a blessing to their parents and wherever
they go may people around them be blessed because of them. May the Lord protect them and I plead the
blood of Jesus Christ over both their lives.
May they know the Lord and be faithful to Him. They are a blessing to our family and may the
Lord bless them in the future. May they
know what they want to become one day and may they both pursue their dreams. God bless my Grandchildren!
