Put our confidence in the Lord




2 Thessalonians 3: 3 KJV

3But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil.

My journey has been interesting and I probably could tell you many stories.  One thing I can honestly tell you today is to put your confidence in the Lord Jesus.  People are so fickle and as you know they can and normally do disappoint you.



From my point of view I would say the best bet in life is to stay focused on the Lord Jesus and not to forget that He is there to help you and keep you from evil.

I remember we just moved to Johannesburg form the Free State, Virginia.  On our way home from work there was a huge accident.  The two guys that were racing on the high way, both of them were decapitated.  It was a gruesome sight and I felt my heart almost stopping. 

This reminded me that I must always pray from my own children, I must keep my family and friends in my prayers.  It shocked me so that I had nightmares for many nights.  Then I was reminded that the Lord is faithful, that the Lord does establish me, and that He keeps me from evil.

Prayer
Heavenly Father in times of need we run to You Lord, and when we are well and happy we forget about You.  Lord thank You for being faithful to us and thank You that we may put our confidence in You Lord Jesus.  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...
