Wants vs needs


Good morning Darlings, what an awesome day it is today, getting up early and starting my day in humble prayer before the Lord God.  I sit in my bed and read through my daily devotions and then I take my Bible and read something in Genesis, Psalms, Proverbs and John.  This takes up about an hour of my reading.  I then pray and ask the Lord for guidance and pray that the Lord God will anoint my head so that I can face the day.  I get out of bed open the showers hot water tap and wait for it to warm up before I step in and take my hot shower.  I feel refreshed and ready to face the day.  My darling husband is still sleeping.  After I dry myself off I get dressed and dry my hair and put my makeup on.  Go to the kitchen make some coffee and lunch and then get ready to go to work.  

On my way to work I read one of the novels and by the time I get to work I am well read.  Walking into my office I greet my manager, and colleagues.

We start early and I try and get my work sorted out for the day so that I can manage whatever comes my way.  We have meetings, and its minutes of meeting, collation of documents, agendas, ag, you name it I do it.
Finally it is lunch time and I can spend some time reading something to lift my spirits, as the day seems to drag by and drain everything from me.  People around me can be so negatively charged and before I go home I feel the negativity hanging on me.

A normal day for me, but I want to change this, I have decided to make the best of my situation, I want more, I need to grow and live my life as God has planned it for me.  Once again I ask the Lord for guidance and I pray for the wisdom and understanding to see it and grab it with both my hands.  I need to become financially stable again.  We have so many needs that we want to fulfil, is this need or a want.  I have to establish that and work on my needs and not my wants.

So Darlings, is it just me or do we all face the same old thing everyday?

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...

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...
