Jesus is born


The shepherds said ‘let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.’  

Come let’s hurry to Bethlehem and see where we can find the child.  The shepherds rushed off and went into Bethlehem.  They found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.  

The met up with a couple of their friend and said ‘have you heard the good news?’  Looking at the shepherded they said ‘no, what good news?’

The shepherded said ‘The angel of the Lord appeared to us and told us of the arrival of a child that is born in the town of David. He is the Savour and he is Christ the Lord.’

‘Really?  What does he look like?’ they asked and wanted to know ‘where can we find him?’

At that time Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.  The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen which were just as they had been told.
Lord God, in humble prayer I come before You today and ask Lord that You will guide me, and show me the purpose of my life.  Lord I pray for wisdom and I ask Lord that You will teach me the way I should go.  I love You Lord and thank You for the time I have available and that I may come into Your presence.  I dedicate my life into Your hands today and I pray Lord for all the people reading my blog.

As each person reads it may Your Holy Spirit touch their lives and bring them into Your kingdom.  Lord You have favoured me with this tool and I pray Lord that I will use it to benefit You.  I pray Lord for the right words to speak and write.  I pray Lord for the right message at the right time.

Bless each person today Lord giving them their heart desires.  Help them face each day and know that You alone are in control over our lives.  We give You Lord all the glory and honour in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ I pray.  Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
