Start each day with the Lord Jesus


Psalm 127: 2 AMP

“It is vain for you to rise early, to retire late, to eat the bread of anxious labours – for He gives [blessings] to His beloved even in his sleep.”

This morning I received a “WhatsApp” from my daughter “no weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that rises up against you in judgement you will condemn.”

It has been difficult for me the last couple of weeks. I have been taking umbrage when people make statements that offend me. In the meantime, I have decided to shrug them off. I keep reminding myself "the noise in your head isn't in my head." I try and to stay positive.

What do I do the first thing I wake up in the morning? I say “Thank You, Lord, for today.” Stretch out and switch off the alarm. Lay in my husband’s arms until the second alarm rings jump out of bed straight to the shower.
The most important thing in my life is speaking to God. I am grateful for a new day, for God’s mercies new each day. I am grateful that I can speak to Him early and we can just be together.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You, for today, thank You that I may come into Your presence and spend time with You. I love and adore You, I accept Your cloak around me the protection of Your hands.  I know I don’t have to feel anxious for nothing, You are so in control over my life. I bless You and I love You 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...

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...
