Hebrews 11: 5 (ESV)
“By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God.”

How can I get into a personal relationship with the LORD? I believe we need to accept the LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth as our LORD and Saviour. Then we need to build our relationship through studying God's word [Bible] each day.

Faith is the key to please God. I also feel Enoch had a personal relationship with God. Enoch woke up early praying for the day ahead, reading scripture and helping others. Waiting on the Lord for answers and obeying God's commands.

In all honesty, I believe we only please God infractions. I feel I fail God every day with something. I let Him down without knowing it. He loves me I know, I am still able to do what I want but my faith isn't that strong and my commitment is lacking.

Prayer

LORD I would love to be pleasing to You. I am striving to grow my relationship with You. I am seeking Your kingdom every day. I need guidance and wisdom, I need understanding and I need You. I know without faith I am lost and I need You to show me the next step. In the name of the Lord 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...

#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...
