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...

#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...
