Who’s the Boss?


2 Corinthians 5: 7

“For we walk by faith,
not by sight.”

This is a brand New Year and I am still not quite sure what I am going to be doing.  Yes, I have a couple of ideas in place and I have written my goal list down for 2018. I sit here thinking “Yvette, who is the Boss?” If I think that I am the Boss, I am totally mistaken. When I read the scripture above I know that I am not the Boss because I am constantly drawing my strength, my wisdom and my insight from someone very important in my life.

Who is that? You may ask, well the only one that can help me, I believe is God. I cannot make it through this year without God.

Consider this, you decided you are going to do this, that and the other and at the last minute something happens and all your plans fall down the drain. You planned everything to a “T” and then before you could activate it, something happens. Now tell me who is the Boss? I don’t think you are, nor am I.

I realized something, if we were able to predict what was going to happen tomorrow and know our every step going forward, would we be on our knees praying to God? NO! We would think we know everything, we will act without God.

Today it is my prayer that when you plan your year that you will remember that God is still in control and yes plan but remember to invite God to your planning session.

Prayer

Lord Almighty God, thank You, that I am able to step out in faith and believe that You are with me each and every step of the way. Yes, I don’t know what’s around the next corner or what is going to happen to me. But I do believe that things will work out just fine. You know that I am dependent on You and I am asking You help me each day. In the Holy Name of 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...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
