Praising You Lord!

Psalm 139:14 Amplified Bible (AMP)

^{14 “}I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.”

As a young adult I suffered from bulimia, someone constantly told me that I was a “fat cow.” I used to look at myself in the mirror and see this fat person. I was constantly trying to maintain a weight of 57 kg, as I couldn’t drop to 50 kg. Never mind what I tried. I remember constantly shaking and my hands were not steady. I went to see a doctor and he was concerned that I may have diabetes.

Today I have put on some weight and I have stopped doing this to myself. I remarried and my husband feels that I have toothpicks for legs. I don’t see that but I try and maintain my body weight. I am constantly feeling fat and worried that I just don’t look good enough. The fact is I had been denying myself all the good foods and hurt myself in the process.

Today I will praise my Lord, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made, wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well.” I will not listen to the voice of Satan any more. God loves me, He created me perfectly. I am loved and I love God.

Today I am fighting back with Hebrews 4 verse 12 “for the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

Prayer

O Lord, I will praise You, I worship You and give You thanks. Lord, You are my everything. I love and adore You, I will stand on Your Word for my life, I will not allow the devil to take me for a ride any longer. I am wonderfully and fearfully made in Your image. I love You Jesus 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...
