Are you comparing yourself to others?




Hebrews 13: 6
“The LORD is my helper; I will not be afraid.”



What are you an expert at? What do you love doing? I love arts and crafts.  I enjoy reading and writing and I love being around me family and friends. I enjoy typing and I love writing short daily devotions.  I love researching topic for my Radio program and looking for inspirational topic to discuss on the radio.

I realized that I was very concerned that I would never really be good enough because there was someone better than me. My fear of not being good enough drives me to do everything I can. I am no expert but I push towards becoming good at it.

I realized that I need to make a list of all my God-given strengths and work at it. I have come to a point in my life where I realized that I was born for a purpose and that I need to spend time in God’s word to discover my purpose in life.

It struck me that I am worried that I will not be accepted by my peers.  The past couple of weeks I have been working on specific things in my life.  I don’t like to admit it but I had to learn to accept life and the things in my own life.  I am still learning to accept each and every day, you need to understand it is a process on my side. 

God also reminds me that I am to trust in Him.  He is my LORD and my helper and I will not be afraid.  My hearts desires are being met each and every day, God is making things happen in my own life.

Prayer

LORD thank You for being my helper and reminding me that I do not have to fear.  You have the blue print to my life in Your hands. You words states that You called me by my name and I belong to You. You also remind me that I am the apple of Your eye. You also know where I am right now and have a future planned for me.  I am so grateful for my children and the fact that they came to visit me on the weekend.  Bless my family and all my children in the name of Jesus Christ my savior.  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...
