Rejoice always in the LORD.


1 Thessalonians 5: 16-19

“Rejoice always and delight in your faith; be unceasing and persistent in prayer; in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.  Do not quench [subdue, or be unresponsive to the working and guidance of] the [Holy] Spirit.”

What makes me happy? Was on my mind this morning? I am so grateful for my family and friends. I have a great support system and I can turn to my family anytime and I believe they will be there for me. I believe God blessed my life with a good husband, all my children and my grandchildren and God have allowed my mom to live another year.  His grace abounds and we can say thank You, Lord.
I rejoice in knowing that the Lord still is there for me, I am grateful that I am able to come into His presence each and every day. 

What makes you happy? Things don’t bring you happiness, if you are emotional unhappy you will struggle with every aspect of life. God gives us the assurance that we can come to Him any time of the day and He is there for us. I am grateful that I can come to the Lord day or night. He is there for me. Bless Him forever and ever.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord I want to rejoice always in You Lord Jesus, I bring You all my praise and I want to say thank You Lord for another day. Thank You for Your loving-kindness and all the good gifts You give me. I love and worship You, Lord, in the Holy Name of the Lord 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...
