The desire to change my life!

Isaiah 54: 2 Berean Study Bible

“Enlarge the site of your tent, stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not hold back. Lengthen your ropes and drive your stakes deep.”

It is my heart's desire to become more and more like Jesus. The desire to grow and mature as a Christian woman is full in my heart. The problem I find is there are times that I resist the urge to change. I have read that you cannot change without a little resistance. The question is how badly do I want to change?

I believe that I have changed over the years and I think I am what I want to be right now. The problem is I am never satisfied with myself.

The past eight years I have been adjusting my attitude. I have been persevering, and it has taken a lot of energy on my side.

Focusing my attention on change the past couple of years took a lot of energy. I still haven't changed.

Reading Isaiah 54 verse 2 "enlarge the site of your tent, stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not hold back. Lengthen your ropes and drive your stakes deep."

Now I am focusing on enlarging my dwelling I am not going to hold back but stretch myself.

Prayer

Abba Father, please help me to enlarge my dwelling. I want to give You, everything and not hold back. I want to stretch myself. Help me to lengthen and strengthen going forward. I need You, 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...
