What in your life is holding you back?




Proverbs 23: 7 NKJV “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he,”

I have been thinking about a number of questions and what the effects of these questions have on my life.  One of the questions that was raised is “how do you feel about yourself?”  I feel good about myself; I have made changes in my own life.  I wanted to lose weight and I managed to loose 11kg and I feel great.  I can see the difference and it makes me feel good.

The other question that I really don’t want to face is “when do you feel the most negative about yourself?”  I think I feel negatively about myself when people “disregard me or disrespect me.”  I also take offense when people lie to me.  When I feel people are rude and make an effort to make me mad. 

This question is almost too close to home but here it is “what causes the greatest problems when dealing with others?”  I think this one is about resentment; you may have done something to me thinking that I would not find out.  The sad part is I did and because of your actions I start to resent you and make it my business to show you what I feel.

Prayer

Lord You know my heart and that I am truly trying to change my life around.  Yes there are problems I cannot face today but I am asking Holy Spirit help me sort them out in the Name of Jesus Christ I pray.  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...
