Teach me how to live

Psalm 27: 11 ‘Teach me your way, O LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.’

I was thinking that each person’s live is almost like a garden. In the beginning when we are born its clear and there aren’t many plants in this garden. As babies we are nurtured and we learn about love, comfort, happiness, kindness, compassion, a sense of being important and cared for. As we grow up we start learning and in the learning we become the people we are today. Some of us are positive as we were taught to stay positive and look on the bright side of live and some of us are negative because that is how we were taught.

As I view life right now I need the LORD to teach me to live. I want to follow in HIS ways, I want to become more like Jesus and less like me.

People can be disappointing but God knows that and that is why He instructs us to lean on HIM, follow HIM, and trust in HIM.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please will You teach me to live and help me to follow You in a straight path, my life isn’t as simple as I thought. I ask this 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...
