Learn to relax.



Matthew 6: 34 “So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.”

All the people around me seem so relaxed and content with their lives while I am constantly busy and getting involved in all kinds of things. My husband is constantly telling me to relax and not to take each and everything so seriously. I think, that’s easy to say, I cannot help myself.

I don’t know if you are able to relate with me, I am the kind of person who is constantly planning ahead; making sure thing will be done at this and that time.  I walk fast, I eat fast and do things immediately and I hate things to be left for another day. I cannot accept excuses and get irritated when people don’t do what they promised.

My first lesson these days is to not always have the last word. Something I noticed most people want to have the last word. They will send sticker or something just to be the last message in your text messages. I have not resorted to not responding after I said what I wanted to.  No emphasis is necessary I said what I wanted to.

We tend to want to know what tomorrow will bring and how we can sort things out before hand and that’s people like me. I cannot wait for things to happen I am constantly seeing what I can do to make it happen.
The past couple of months have been different in that I had been at home and I could just sit around doing nothing. I was constantly busy cleaning and washing clothes and ironing the clothes.

I didn’t know that I would be back at work for a couple of months and now I need to trust in and focus on God to open a door for me next year. In the mean time I have prayed about my situation and now I have to leave this in God hands and trust He knows best. 

Prayer

O Lord God of all Your children I must be one of the most uptight kids You have adopted. Lord thank You for being patient with me and thank You for watching over my life. Thank You Lord for teaching me to relax and take things easy when I want to run you slows me down. Thank You Lord for always doing what is best for me. I humbly faith I ask bless my life today as well as all the people I come into contact. I ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ. 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...
