Dealing with stress in my life.




Philippians 4: 7 

And the peace of God,
Which surpasses all understanding,
Will guard your hearts and your minds
In
Christ Jesus.

It is true we all deal with stress in our lives each and every day.  In the past I felt that God was stretching me just too much, I used to refer to the stretching as being stretched out like an elastic band.  The pressure and tension in my life would accumulate and I felt tired and constantly on edge.

I think of my sister going through the stretching and tension in her own life, my heart goes out to her. She is under tremendous pressure right now.  I know it isn’t my place to tell her what to do but I think she needs to take a little break and start looking after herself.

I want to encourage her and you to embrace the peace of God in our lives.  We need to learn how to guard our hearts and minds and come into the covering of the Lord Jesus Christ.  I see God working in each of our lives.  We just need to submit to the Lord Jesus.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Abba Father, humbly I bring my life and the life of my sister into Your presence and I pray for a peace of mind.  Lord I cover myself as well as my sister with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  Lord this covering I call out and ask that You will give us the necessary peace of mind.  Lord I call out asking for protection and covering of the blood of Jesus.  Holy Spirit action this for us we need You.  In the holy name of the Lord 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...
