No one knows what tomorrow brings.



“In the day of prosperity be joyful,
but in the day of adversity consider that
God has made the one as well as the other,
so that man will not find out anything that will be after him.”
Ecclesiastes 7: 14

I have found that God has a new assignment each and every day set out for me and in last week I had to come to terms with “acceptance.”  I was really busy and we are preparing for “payroll close” at the office.

God has been teaching me to deal with a new challenge each day or even more than one day.  “Acceptance” is a challenge I have been struggling with for a number of years and I have been pushing every button I know in trying to make things happen. 

In reflection of what happened last week I have come to realize that by “accepting” my life and just relaxing my hold things started to give.

I don’t want to go into detail on that but God sure knows how to deal with me each and every day. It isn’t possible for me to predict the future and to know what tomorrow brings, I am allowed to dream but I cannot foretell what tomorrow will bring.

Prayer

O LORD in accepting my life and circumstances I believe You are now able to work in my life. Each day it is my desire to grow spiritually and I dedicate my life into Your hands. Help me move forward and teach me a new attribute each day. Lord as Reinhold Niebuhr said I too pray “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.” Holy Spirit come into my life and guides me and helps me in Jesus Christs name.  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...
