Out of my control!



Exodus 4: 2 NIV “Then the LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” he replied.”

Now Moses was speaking to the LORD and the LORD wanted Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses was a shepherded at the time and he had a staff in his hands. God used Moses’s staff.

Think about this, Moses’s staff represents his job, what he does and who he is at the moment. What is in your hand? I have been thinking about this. I am holding onto my job with all my might. Now I find that the harder I hold onto it the more difficult and stressful it is.

Its like putting sand in the palms of my hand, the minute I close my hand the sand runs out between my fingers. The minute I open my hand the sand stays in my palm. What am I trying to say?

I don’t have any control over what I will be doing in my life next year. I don’t want to let go, but in all reality, I have no chose in the matter. I must let go and trust in the LORD. I am going to surrender my difficult situation into the LORDS hand.

Today I am taking the courage to surrender this thing I am holding on into God’s hands. I am going to trust God with this matter and next year I will bring God glory.

Prayer

LORD, I know You are in control over my life. I realise that I am struggling with this matter and You know my heart. Today I want to humbly come and surrender my situation into Your hands. I am holding on to it with all my might and it's very hard to surrender it into Your hands. Please Lord, this is my situation and I want to ask You to help me going forward. It pains me but I believe You are in control over my life.  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...

~ 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...
