Aging ...

Me and my grandchild Anabelle on my 50th

I don’t know if it is true for any of you beautiful young woman, but aging has become such an issue for me.  The first sign of aging is pre-menopause, night sweats and hot flushes.  Then all the other issue that come along with menopause.  Then of course grey hairs are popping up all over my dark head.

Proverbs 20:29
“The glory of young men is their strength, grey hair the splendour of the old.” (NIV)

So guess what?  I am going to embrace my grey hair and enjoy the splendour of my old age.

Then of course I don’t know about most of you young and beautiful woman but I dream a lot and most of the dreams are significant to me.  I receive messages and it takes me a couple of days to get to the bottom of it but I finally I get the answer.  I believe God is dealing with me in this way; isn’t it awesome.

Joel 2:28 “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.” (NIV)

I hope that as I age I will be treated with respect and that in turn I will treat other people the same way.

Leviticus 19:32 “You shall stand up before the grey head and honour the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the LORD.” ( ESV)

Just one more and tomorrow we can carry on with the aging process.  I have the highest respect for my father, I know he had his faults and what not but in my eyes he is the greatest man that ever lived.  Then of course there is my mum, to me she means the world and I really worry about her, she is fragile and easily offended.  I keep her in prayers constantly as I know she done the best she could and I think it paid off.  All her children are respectful and decent and she can be proud of all her grandchildren too, not to mention her grate grandchildren.



Proverbs 6:20 -23 “My son, keep your father’s commands, and don’t forget your mother’s teaching. Keep their words in mind forever as though you had them tied around your neck. They will guide you when you walk. They will guard you when you sleep. They will speak to you when you are awake. These commands are like a lamp; this teaching is like a light. And the correction that comes from them will help you have life.” (NCV)

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...

~ Reach Out if You Wish to Succeed ~ Galatians 5:13 – “By love, serve one another.”

Gentle reader, Permit me to offer this quiet truth: success does not arrive on satin cushions, announced by trumpets or tapping politely at your parlour door. No — it is more elusive, more noble in its pursuit. It often hides itself behind connections yet to be made, and relationships yet to be pursued. To flourish in this life, one must be bound — not by title or fortune — but by divine connection. For those who are destined to elevate you may not arrive unbidden. More often, it is you who must summon the courage to seek them out. Let us consider the evidence: Why is the newspaper sold on every corner, and the soda machine placed on every floor? Because success is positioned where the people are. Even our beloved Lord, Jesus — did He sit upon a high throne in a palace, declaring, “Only here may you find Me?” Certainly not. He moved among the people — to the market stalls, along the dusty shores where fishermen cast their nets, into the synagogues and modest homes. “He went through...
