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...

~ Reach Out if You Wish to Succeed ~ Galatians 5:13 – “By love, serve one another.”

Gentle reader, Permit me to offer this quiet truth: success does not arrive on satin cushions, announced by trumpets or tapping politely at your parlour door. No — it is more elusive, more noble in its pursuit. It often hides itself behind connections yet to be made, and relationships yet to be pursued. To flourish in this life, one must be bound — not by title or fortune — but by divine connection. For those who are destined to elevate you may not arrive unbidden. More often, it is you who must summon the courage to seek them out. Let us consider the evidence: Why is the newspaper sold on every corner, and the soda machine placed on every floor? Because success is positioned where the people are. Even our beloved Lord, Jesus — did He sit upon a high throne in a palace, declaring, “Only here may you find Me?” Certainly not. He moved among the people — to the market stalls, along the dusty shores where fishermen cast their nets, into the synagogues and modest homes. “He went through...
