#Patience #Psalm_40:_1





Psalm 40: 1 KJV “I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.”

I know with experience that God works at His own time table and nothing I do can change it. Although there were times that I actually tried to make things happen. Of all the people I know, I am one of the most impatient people on this earth.

I have realized being impatient doesn’t make God work faster or do things to please me. No, God works at His own pace and I must wait.

In the scheme of things I have come to realize that I need to learn how to deal with people. I am learning how to schedule my time and not waste it by sitting around worrying about “what if.”  Then there is the thing about money, I need to keep to my budget because money doesn’t grow on trees and if I spend it wisely at least I will have money for the necessary things.

God has a set plan for each of our lives and in Isaiah 46 verse 10 He reminds me that “I made known the end from the beginning.” 

So here I am learning to be patient and my faith is being strengthen by trusting in God and I believe that His time will be right for my life.  Yes, I want things to happen a little faster but there is no way I can make it happen. God will open the doors at His own time.  My life is like a puzzle and each peace needs to fit in the right space.  My perspective is that I cannot see the entire picture and I don’t know all the peaces of my life.

God is looking down on my life and knows which peace fits in where and when the time is right He place the peaces together to form the picture.

Prayer
Lord God please help me to trust in You and not stand on my own understanding. Help me to stay focused and stay patient as You work the good in my life. My life is in Your hands and I know that I can trust in YOU.  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...
