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...

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...
