I won’t lose my vision!


Romans 8: 28 “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”

This has been a truly difficult week for me and my colleagues. I am a contract worker and I was constantly plagued by the thought of losing my job before my contract came to term. I decided to take my eyes off the problem and bring my contract before the Lord my God. I remember something I read in the Bible where King Hezekiah received a letter from his enemies and prayed over this letter. From my point of view, God has only got good things in store for my life and I wanted to pray asking Him to stand in the gap for me. I need my job right now because so many people depend on me.
It struck me God was dealing with my colleagues as well as with me, I prayed and prayed and God said that He has blessed my hands for work. I believe that and I believe that my contract is in place. Then I heard things have changed for my colleagues too. I do believe God’s plan for my life will be accomplished no matter what the devil throws at me.

I almost lost my vision and I humbly ask for forgiveness from God, I cannot allow these things in life to throw me around. I know that the Lord is in control and that He has a plan for my life, and I will embrace it. No matter what others might say? God is always in control and will help me and others.

Prayer
O Lord God, in the Holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, thank You for opening this door for me and my colleagues. We are grateful that You have a good plan for our lives and we embrace You today for this opportunity. Bless the work of my hands as well as theirs. Thank You for being there for me in my hour of need and for them too. In the Holy Name of 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...

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...
