Proverbs 3:5 (NIV)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;

I know for about 9 weeks I was so confused and worried that the Lord didn’t care about me. I felt so worried and my heart was breaking. It seemed like God wasn’t in my life and I was fighting the battle all by myself.

Just because I couldn’t see God’s hand in my life, doesn’t mean that God wasn’t working on my behalf. The thing is I felt so abandoned and all alone, I just could see the next day. I was reading Gods Word but I just didn’t see the Words. I felt like I was in a box and I couldn’t open the lid.

As I reflect over the past couple of weeks I realise that God is still in control, no matter what other people have to say or think of me. I know that there are a couple of people who are standing in judgement over my life, I know this by their actions. I have prayed about this asking God to forgive them they don’t know any better.

I am trusting in God, I know God knows my heart and the position I find myself in. I also trust God will lift me up and I also believe that the people who stand in judgement over me will relax and get out of my way. God is able to change my circumstance.

Prayer

Humbly, Lord, I want to pray to forgive these people who are standing in judgment over my life. I want to pray that You will help them and guide them. Lord, I bring my life before Your throne asking You to please guide me and help me in the coming week. I love and adore You. In the name of 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...

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...
