Am I ever StormProof?

Proverbs 3: 5-6 “Trust in and rely confidently on the LORD with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, and He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].”

Am I storm proof? Honestly, I do not believe that I am storm proof. I used to watch "Heroes" and do you remember Matt Parkman? Well, when I was watching this show, I freaked out when I saw him listen in on other people’s thoughts. We need to trust in and rely confidently on the LORD with all our hearts and not rely on our own insight and or understanding. We should always know and recognize Jesus, He will straighten and smooth the way ahead of us.

I do not want someone hearing my thoughts. There are times when I am off, and I am in a fight with myself. This person will know that I am struggling and zone in on my thoughts.

I know the devil cannot read our minds thank God for that, but I do believe he can read body language. He makes a suggestion, and sees our reaction, and acts on our reactions.

Without thinking, about it, we have become vulnerable. I believe being storm proof takes practice. We want to be focusing on God.

Prayer

Abba Father please assist me to weather the storms in my own life. According to Your Word Philippians chapter 2 verse 13 “for it is God who works in you (me) to will and to act in order to fulfil his good purpose.” I need You today as my emotional state is a mess. In the 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...
