Happy New Year 2016


Good morning world!  Here I am sitting at my dining room table quickly typing my New Year resolutions.  I do want to wish you a prosperous and happy New Year, 2016 is going to be one of the most memorable years I will live.

It is my plan to stay focused on God and I am in hot pursuit of God’s plan for my life.  I want to know what God has in store for me and one thing is for sure I am not giving up so easily this time.  Each time I pray and ask please reveal to me what Your plans are for my life. 

It struck me like a ton of bricks this morning, ‘I know the plans I have for you’ says the Lord God.  ‘Plans to prosper you … plans to give you hope and a future … pray to me, and I will listen to you.’  Jeremiah 29: 11 – 12

So this is my plan, I have decided to take each day as it comes, I don’t know what each day holds and to try and predict is frivolous.  Now today has been really difficult as I actually got out of bed it struck me that in the past someone gave me an old pink dress in exchange for one of my brand new dresses.  It upset me to such an extent that I actually realised how and why I hate pink.  As I took the pink T shirt out of my cupboard it made me upset and tearful.  So the next thing I need to do is forgive this person and set myself free. 

So Connie I forgive you and let this be in the past, I am over being upset and hurt about something so frivolous.

So far, number 1 is:  take each day as it comes;  number 2 is: forgive people who offend and hurt me.
Do you think I am going to have a prosperous new year?  I do, today I have taken 2 major steps in the right direction.

Prayer

Abba Father, Lord thank you for today and this year.  Lord You know the desires of my heart, You know I need a vision and I want a purpose.  I pray about these two major plans for my life.  I want to also ask You please help me going forward.  I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over my life and await Your instructions.  In Jesus Name, 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...
