2019 – My dreams will come true


Philippians 4: 11 – 13 ESV

Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

This year is all about embracing God and His Word. Today I want to also tell you about all my dreams and hopes. I love baking and I started about 7 years ago, I have become quite good at it, but I do want to improve. My dream is to be the best baker possible. I want to go overseas and visit my brother who stays in Australia. I need mega bucks to get there – my challenge is finances. I am baking as much as I can and the profit isn’t that much. Then, of course, I wrote Daily Devotions Ebenezer. I am hoping and praying that my book will sell this year. Last year was a slow year. I know that I am an unknown and people aren’t so into “invisible” people. Hey but God gave me these dreams, I have done what I can to make them possible the rest is in God’s hands.

I am looking forward to this year for two reasons I believe that God is going to do something supernatural regarding my trip to Australia. I also believe that God is going to put me forward. I really have been working hard. I try and do my best job now. I am disciplined and focused most of the time, of course, I can improve. I believe God is working something out for me. My life is in God’s hands and I know that He is there for me.

God is in the business of blessing His children, why would He give me a dream that I cannot attain?

Prayer

Lord, You are Mighty, Wonderful, Counselor, You Lord are the Lord of lords, the King of kings and You are my number one person. When I feel terrified and all alone You are the one I turn to. You know my heart and You see who I am. I am placing my dreams into Your hands. I am asking You to make them come true. I am here for a purpose and You have the key to my success. You know what life is all about the challenges I face, the worries that plague me daily. I bring this to You in the Holy name of Jesus Christ. Amen

#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...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
