An unexpected visit …




Nehemiah 8: 10
“The joy of the LORD is your strength.”

Do you believe God has only good thoughts towards you?  I must tell you that I have come to believe that God only has good thoughts towards me. I love the LORD and I believe that the LORD is my strength.  

I have been truly dealing with a lot of situations in my own life but I must tell you God knows my heart’s desire.  My children don’t stay close to my house and I rarely see them.  We make appointment to visit and when I can I go and see them.  These past couple of weeks have been hectic both out cars broke down and we only have a truck to drive around in leaving me without transport.

Last week was my birthday and my children phoned me saying happy birthday mom hope you have an awesome year.  Then to my surprise on Saturday morning they came to celebrate my birthday with me.  It was so awesome that I almost cried, and to top it off they knew that I wanted some perfume for my birthday and came bearing gifts.

The visit was excellent and I really love seeing them again.  I realized that God’s hand was over my life. 

Prayer

Lord thank You for the joy You bring into my life, and that You strengthen me each and every day. You are my rock and I stand firm on You. Lord thank You so much for my children and the unexpected visit this weekend.  I love them so much and I dedicate them into Your hands, I pray that they will be covered by the blood 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...
