Why Worry?


Matthew 6: 27 (NASB)
“And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?”

Sitting down my right leg automatically starts swinging; I am feeling impatient and playing with my ring on my left hand. I must bake a couple of cakes, the lounge needs a good clean. I want to write something for my blog. I feel worried that I won't have enough time to get to everything. It drives me crazy; you will never find me sitting around doing nothing.

I don't worry about money or things like that, I feel worried that I just never have enough time to do all my chores. When I go to bed I feel so tired it seems I didn't get around to do what I set out to do. What will become of me? It irritates me that I stay busy and other people can sit around doing nothing.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord thank You for today, thank You that we can come and sit at Your feet today. Lord helps me to relax and trust in You. You have graced me with a new day, and Your mercies are new every day. Thank You, Lord, let Your will be done today in my life as You wish. I worship and praise You, 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...
