#Relationships




2 Peter 3: 18 

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen”

My self-worth was diminished as a young girl when one of the teachers told me that I would never amount to anything. According to this man I would be pregnant with a child in my arms and a child in the pram and a child on my brain.  I never fell pregnant while I attended school but only after my marriage.  Sadly I never thought I would amount to much because I allowed this teacher to speak ill of me.

As I reflect over my life I feel that I had to decide when to allow people into my life and when not. The problem is I never took my Dad seriously when he told me that “Bad company, corrupts good character.” I have been thinking about that and it struck me people can deceive us. In the meantime I have matured and I can sense when someone isn’t what they perceive to be. When it comes to relationships you may invite people into your life that lift you up, bring you down or level you. I don’t know I don’t like people who bring me down and once I realize that I cut them off. I just believe God is going to ask me to give a report of my life and what I have done with it.

Prayer

Humbly Abba Father, I pray that I may receive Your grace new every morning. I am humbly asking for the opportunity to grow spiritually. I love and adore You and I worship at Your feet. Lord Jesus I want to mature and grow each day. Help me to stand firm on Your Word, I am sanctified and draw near to 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...
