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...

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...
