What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger!

Zechariah 3: 1
“Then he showed me Joshua the high priest
standing before the angel of the
LORD,
and Satan standing
at his right hand to accuse him.”

In reflection over the past couple of weeks I feel like I am being accused and that I am under the spice glass. I see how my husband has been acting for more than two weeks, I see how people I do not know have been treating me. It makes me angry because I don’t know what I did to get them to be so negative towards me.

My thoughts are they believe they are righteous and that I don’t sit well with them. I feel disappointed in the fact that I am constantly accused of all strange things. I don’t want to air my views but I feel hurt by these accusations.

My seamstress is a big disappointment, her initial price for the dress was R1,300. She charged me R2,000 for a straight dress with no support and the bling was a big disappointment. On this point I feel that I would never support her business ever again and I wish her all the luck in the world because she is going to need it.

So do I feel that I am under attack damn straight I am and I realized there isn’t anything I can do about it.

Prayer

Lord Jesus You know my husband and the seamstress, their motives and their fears and what they both are going through. Lord please keep Your hand of protection over them, bless them today with abundance and let them have supernatural favor with You as well as with people. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

#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...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other. Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’. Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her. One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it. As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’. Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl. I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today. I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
