A great woman!



2 Kings 4: 8
“One day Elisha went to Shunem and a well-to-do woman was there,
who urged him to stay for a meal.
So whenever he came by,
he stopped there to eat.”

In this day and age I must be honest I really don’t know too many woman that are great in my eyes.  I doubt if they are true Christian woman their actions speak for them.  I am striving each and every day to become great, it is my heart’s desire to place God first in my life.

The Shunem woman was a great woman; she saw Elisha and knew who he was.  She prepared a room for him and invited him to stay there whenever he came past her house.  So from my point of view she place God first in her life.

Did she lack anything?  No she was a “well-to-do” woman and it is she had lack of nothing but there was something so dearly wanted.  She didn’t have children and her heart’s desire was to have a child.  Do you think she asked Elisha for a child?  No, Elisha found out she wanted a child and prayed for her.

A tragedy hits her house hold and her son dies.  She places him on his bed and goes in search of Elisha she doesn’t go around crying and telling everybody her kid died.  She looks for the source who is able to help her.

Elisha revives the child from death and he lives her prayers were answered.

I feel that I am standing in a room and my dream looks like it is dead, I need to have it revived, I need a God breath over my dream. 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord You know what my dream is all about, I bring it before You and I pray for a revival of my dream.  Lord I need You to breathe life into my dream, You are my first port of contact in the morning and my last one in the evening.  I am asking You humbly breathe life into my dream.  In the Holy 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...
