I am searching for the presence of God.


If there is someone that truly is concerned about my Spiritual wellbeing it’s me. I am constantly checking myself and especially my attitude. I have come to realize that compassion is something I lack and I need to be more compassionate. I also am seeking God fervently.

Zechariah 8: 23 ESV

“Thus says the LORD of hosts: In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue shall take hold of the robe of a Jew, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.””

I know my Spiritual life is in progress and God knows my heart. I have been truly doing everything I can to draw near to Him. In the past couple of weeks, I have been doing everything possible to make sure that I am doing my utmost to draw near to God. I believe that I need to be rooted and grounded in the Lord and I have to make it my business to get into the Word. I have been doing this on a daily basis.

I feel that I need to become activated and the only way this will happen is when the Holy Spirit is welcome in my own life. Without the Holy Spirit in my life, I will have lost the plot. I feel so envious of the people who have a personal relationship with God and who you can spot a mile off. The Lord is in them and people can see it in the way they behave.

I do not know how this is supposed to work, but I have started my own personal mission. I confessed my sin and prayed about my hang-ups in my life.  I also am dealing with my own personal attitude towards people and myself and God. Then I am learning to show compassion with I know is lacking in my own life. I also know that in order for God to work in my life I need to testify, which I started. It isn’t easy but these are my learnings.

Prayer

O LORD, God, You know me better than I actually know myself. I don’t know what the process is going forward to become rooted in You. I don’t know how I will do this, so from where I stand I am doing the best I can. I want to be able to commune with You on a daily basis, and I believe that I am. Lord I also want to be seen as someone that Your Spirit is resting on. I love You Lord; I want to honour You with my own life. In the name of Your Son 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...

~ Reach Out if You Wish to Succeed ~ Galatians 5:13 – “By love, serve one another.”

Gentle reader, Permit me to offer this quiet truth: success does not arrive on satin cushions, announced by trumpets or tapping politely at your parlour door. No — it is more elusive, more noble in its pursuit. It often hides itself behind connections yet to be made, and relationships yet to be pursued. To flourish in this life, one must be bound — not by title or fortune — but by divine connection. For those who are destined to elevate you may not arrive unbidden. More often, it is you who must summon the courage to seek them out. Let us consider the evidence: Why is the newspaper sold on every corner, and the soda machine placed on every floor? Because success is positioned where the people are. Even our beloved Lord, Jesus — did He sit upon a high throne in a palace, declaring, “Only here may you find Me?” Certainly not. He moved among the people — to the market stalls, along the dusty shores where fishermen cast their nets, into the synagogues and modest homes. “He went through...
