Take up my cross daily




Luke 9: 23 ‘Then he said to them all:  “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.”

Hello darlings, how are you today?  I know taking up my cross each day is something I have to do and so do you.  Each morning when I rise and I face the day I can decide whether I am going to have a good day or a bad day.  Sometimes my circumstances don’t allow me to have a good day.

It will be a phone call or something I see on Facebook.  The only means right now in my life to bring the word of God to people around me is to write something on my day.  Looking in from the outside you probably would think, what can I offer you.  I don’t know if there is anything I can offer you, I am a woman with limited resources.  In that respect I cannot offer you anything, spiritually, I am doing as much as I can to get the word of my Lord and Saviour out into the world. 

Writing something as much as I can, the Lord saved me and died on the cross for my transgressions.  I am a child of God and I can trust in Him.  I don’t want to shame my Lord and let HIM down.  I want to let you and everybody else know that God loves you.  He son Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins.  He was raised on the 3rd day and sits on the right hand of Our Father God.  The Almighty God in heaven.
The Lords eyes on over the earth, searching for people who are serving Him, devoting their time and efforts in studying His word and drawing near to HIM.  

Take up your cross with me today, let us walk the distance and follow the Lord Jesus Christ.  Through Him we will have eternal life.  Take up your cross and come follow HIM.

This is my heart’s desire, that the Holy Spirit will come into Your hearts and mind today, that You may have a hunger and thirst to find our more about our Lord Jesus Christ.  Holding Him close to You and allowing the Holy Spirit to renew your minds, body and soul.  Changing you so that you too may become more like the Lord Jesus Christ.

Bless you as you read this today.
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...

#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...
