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

#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...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
