The Turn of Events …


2 Chronicles 10: 15 NIV

So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from God, to fulfil the word the LORD had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite.

I am reminded that God has the last say and that is final. It doesn’t matter what we say or do God will let things work according to His good plan.

Looking back on the past year which to my mind had been a truly difficult year with many obstacles and trials and tribulations. I would say God’s hand has been in all this from the beginning. I remember coming into the office and being told it's your last day today. I almost fainted. My word can this be possible? Then something happened and God opened the door for me to carry on working. What an awesome God we serve. I was so grateful that I could return to work.

There were other threats but I don’t want to talk about it I believe God is working on these too. It doesn’t matter how tries what, the turn of events will be as God ordained it.  It's very clear to me that God has the last and final say. Sometimes the turn of events may seem to be contrary to what I hope for.  I still believe without a doubt that God’s hands in every turn of events.

Prayer

Abba Father about my work You are in control and I don’t know what the turn of events will be next year. I do however want to humbly come to You asking for an open door. You know my needs and You know how I so want to do my best for You. I need Your hand in my life, in the name of Jesus Christ I bring my request publically asking You to work next year too, please. 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...
