‘Tis the Season to be jolly!


Another year is drawing to a close, our lives have been enriched with beautiful memories, some difficult times, a lot of blessed times and loads of laughter.  This year was a good year, from the beginning to the end. 

This is the first time in a very long time I feel excited about Christmas, I used to dread this time of year, it seemed to be a difficult time, loads of tears, and heartbreak.

It will be different this year, my children and I and our families are going to spend Christmas time together.  There are peace and quiet and we all are feeling good about ourselves.  The stress of difficulty is gone.

Relationship
I remarried and there are stepchildren, then, of course, my own children and granddaughters.   We are all getting on much better, live is a little more relaxed.

Responsibilities
And of course, the biggest stress I face is a ‘job loss’.  I am praying the Lord will bless me next year with a good paying job.  I believe God can move mountains.

My Decisions
My husband’s favorite antic the decisions you make today affect your tomorrow.  You know these words haunt my life, and I really don’t even want to think about things like making any decisions.  You can make a wrong choice and it can come and bite you.

Moving forward
For my life I have decided to move forward, let the people who hate me, hate me.  The people who talk ill about me, God will deal with them.  The judgmental and gossiping people; the same, leave them to their gossip, God will deal with them.  I think that each person who feels they have the right to discuss my life and tell people how they perceive me, may they get exactly what they say about me. 

Luckily my family isn't in this category and I know they will never bad mouth me.  The bitter and nasty words spoken against me is from so called friends, shame.

2017
I believe with all my heart, God is going to bless me with the sales of my book, I will publish my book and I will be able to leave a legacy for my children and grandchildren.  God is my rock, I will not be moved.  What an awesome prospect.  I adore the Lord with all my heart.  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...
