Dark clouds of Depression???



1 Peter 4: 12 ‘do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you.’

These past couple of days sure have been trying and I must be honest I am glad I have God to turn to.  I need to constantly pray Lord my God please set a guard over my mouth, keep watch over the door of my lips. So that I don’t destroy the good thing You are doing in my own life.  I used to get so upset and distressed when trial came my way.  I used to feel that I am worthless and not a real Christian.  My thinking would become desperate and I would almost find myself in a deep depression.  These past couple of days were just as difficult, I have to steel myself against my negative thinking, reminding myself of God’s grace, God’s love, God’s supernatural favour in my life. 

Looking at people around me it sure seems they don’t have a worry in the world, they seem to life live so easily.  No complications, no problems, it seems to be a breeze for all the people I know.  I am sure when you sit down and talk to them you would be surprised at what is really going on around and with them.

Darlings, take heart, don’t be too concerned when the fiery trials come your way; turn your attention to the Lord God.  Give them over to the Lord and watch as He works it out for you.  It may be difficult right now but be patient and trust in Him.  I am blessed and highly favoured, you too are blessed and highly favoured.  Have a blessed day, God bless you.

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...
