Calling on the Lord in my weakness



2 Corinthians 12: 10 ‘That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.  For when I am weak, then I am strong.’


Good morning Darlings this morning I got such a fright, I was taking my children to school and as I stopped at the stop street a Taxi with school children in it bumped into me.  The road was too busy to just get out and confront the man so I had to drive to school and drop off my child.  On getting there I got out of my car and confronted the man.  He said something in his language and pointed his finger at me.  I asked him what was wrong with him and if he was drunk?  Did he not notice he was driving children around in his Taxi?  He jumped back into his Taxi and speed off.

This brought me down to earth, I realised that if he was driving any faster he would have crashed into us and it would have been an extremely ugly accident.  I am just glad that the Lord has been with me all this time. 
All I can do today is but call on my Lord and saviour.  This verse springs to mind that we will be persecuted and we will face difficult time and hardships will come our way.  Not forgetting the insults that come to us but we should shirk it and turn to our Lord and saviour.  


Lord Jesus I pray that in my weakness I can draw on Your power.  I pray Lord that You will help me face today, I plead the blood of Jesus over our cars, our homes, our children, our grandchildren and everything we have.  I ask Lord for the courage to face today and the strength I need for living my life as You will it.  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...
