It’s Monday – a new week


James 1: 4 “Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” Berean Study Bible

I walked into my office this morning switched on the air conditioner and then walked over to my desk and switched on my laptop.  Taking a seat behind the desk I waited for the laptops prompt to type in my password.  Yes, it’s Monday, the weekend flew by. 

My colleagues walked through the door something happened yesterday.  Someone passed away; I heard them say “there is just no relaxing, we never have any peace.”

Life is so short and we don’t seem to realise it. You need to persevere and do the best you can each and every day.  Tomorrow isn’t promised remember that.

This weekend I visited my Mom and Oom Frik, it was so nice to see them.  They are aging and it’s clear they seem to be forgetting things.  I want to pray that God will give me the necessary means to help them going forward and when the time come be there for the both of them.

Prayer

O Lord God, You know that I have been doing my best and that my moto is to never give up.  Lord I bring Oom Frik and Mommy before You today, help them.  They are so far away from family and they need Your help.  Please Lord open a door for them to come closer to home where we can keep a watchful eye over them. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth 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...
