I have hopeful expectations for every day of my life, do you?


Romans 4: 18-20
“In hope he believed against hope,
that he should become the father of many nations,
as he had been told,
“So shall your offspring be.”
He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body,
which was as good as dead
(since he was about a hundred years old),
or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb.
No unbelief made him waver
concerning the promise of God,
but he grew strong in his faith
as he gave glory to God”

I cannot believe this year is drawing to a close and it seems that time is slipping away like sands in a hourglass. When this year started I didn’t know how it would end but I believed and hoped that God will hear my cry and help me.

I must be honest my hopeful expectations have been met and I am still hopeful each and every day. I am learning to control my attitude with the help of the Holy Spirit.

I strive to draw near to God each day and I feel that I am making progress each and every day.  My heart’s desire is to hear God’s voice again and that I may obey Him.

I fall but I get up and try again, yes the locust has eaten what I had but I still have a hopeful expectation that God is busy restoring and replacing the years that the locust have eaten (Joel 2: 25).

Prayer

Heavenly Father in humbly prayer I come to You this morning, please clothe me with the Lord Jesus Christ.  I clothe myself in humility today, I pray Lord that I will hear Your voice again and that I will obey You when You speak to me.  Lord I am hopeful and I expect that today will be a blessed day, that You Lord will keep Your hand of protection over my life. Lord bless each person reading my blog and Holy Spirit speak into their lives.  In the Holy Name of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ of Nazareth, 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...
