“Give an account of yourself to God.”




Romans 14: 12 AMP

“So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.”

I get so irritated when I know someone is shirking their responsibilities.  Posing the quest "why haven't you done this?"  Their response is "I do not know."

The sad part is they keep on getting away with "I do not know."  It makes me angry but then I read that we all are going to give an account of our own lives to God.

I have also noticed that when in a tight spot this person will start blaming the next person.  I was under the impression that so and so, was going to do this and that.  When in fact it was this person's job.

How do I deal with them?  Well, I do get angry and try and make them do whatever but it rarely works.  They manage to get out of this position. I believe they are good at manipulating the matter and me for one.
Taking responsibility for their actions is not something they deal with.  In the end, I will do whatever or someone else does. I seem to be fighting a losing battle.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, Lord You know who I am referring to in this blog. Today I want to take responsibility for my own actions. Yes, I know when I am in the wrong and I realise You are in control over my life and will show me the way forward. I have been in this position for lack of responsibility and also lack of doing my best job always. Please forgive me and help me move forward in Jesus Christ name. 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...
