#Chosen!



I bought a bracelet to remind myself that God has called me by my name (Isaiah 43 verse 1). Although, I was going through a number of trials and tribulations.
John 15: 16 – 17 AMP
“You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed and placed and purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you. This [is what] I command you: that you love and unselfishly seek the best for on another.”
These past couple of months I was facing my Goliath and it seemed to be greater than me, I just couldn’t connect with the Lord. I know that in God’s Word there are more than 3,000 promises and for the life of me I couldn’t see one. Why is that? Is it because in a sense I wanted to see God in the flesh and sit and talk to Him? Or do you think it’s because I couldn’t hear Him speaking in an audible voice?  God isnt tangible but His Word is.
Do you remember when the Israelites wanted a King? I am thinking of Saul, he was the person everybody thought was the man. A king to be admired but unfortunately he failed. Then Samuel went out to see Jesse. The Lord would choose one of Jesse’s sons. Everybody came along and each time God said not this one. Finally David came in and then Samuel anoited Him as the next king. I believe that everybody was under the impression that David was insignaficant, a shephards boy. What we do not realise is that God know’s our hearts and He knew David’s heart.
Thank You Lord for knowing my heart and that You are in control over my life. I know now that You have chosen me and that You have planted me where I am and I am bearing fruit.
Prayer
Abba Father, O Lord as I age I want to surrender my whole life back into Your hands. I believe You have chosen me. I believe You have called me by my name. Thank You for keeping me safe and helping in my time of need. I want to glorify Your Holy Name. Please Lord help me. I cannot do this on my own, help me today and every day going forward. I dedicate each and every person reading my blog today into Your hands. Holy Spirit touch each persons life. In the Holy 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...
