#Keep #your #heart




Proverbs 4: 23 "Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life."
 
What is important to you? Is a question that has been on my mind for a number of days and it comes to mind “keep watch over my own heart.” Don’t laugh it is very important, we find people all around us and each person is facing some difficult situation. 

If I don’t watch my own heart and allow other people to say things which may influence me and unknowingly allow them access to my heart, they may just hurt me.  Nowadays I place a guard over my mouth and also my heart.  I also tend to hurt people and it isn’t my intention but I do.  

Proverbs 3: 5 – 6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."

I realize that I am not perfect and because of the same reason I need to continually reflect over my actions and bring my life before the Lord.  My heart is open to You Lord, check it and help me to focus and lean on You. I cannot see away forward without the Lord, I am to afraid these days.  Everything seems to challenge me and I am uncertain.  I place my trust in the Lord and I am leaning on Him.

Proverbs 28: 13 "Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy."


If I catch myself sinning, I pray for forgiveness right there and then.  I believe that if I truly meant what I prayed God in His mercy has forgiven me.  Remember I still make mistakes and I don’t always think about what I say or do.  Many of the times I am reactive and go with my gut or the spur of the moment.

Prayer

Lord God, thank You, for keeping watch over my life, You know that I am unable to work out my own life.  I need Your guidance, I need Your help each and every day. I also want to say thank You, for keeping watch over me.  I love and adore You so much Lord.  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...
