Scripture for Sunday

   

Overcoming failure

Psalm 73:26 Amplified Bible (AMP)

My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the rock and strength of my heart and my portion forever.

I live in Witbank, a town in Mpumalanga, it's not very impressive there are so many potholes on the road you can hardly see the road from the sand road. 

I believe my life also has a couple of potholes, it seems like I am doing fine and then I hit a ditch. My whole life comes to a halt. I failed at something important and now I have to deal with the consequences. You know that feeling, when is this going to stop? I have come to realize I should change my attitude and things will get better. Instead of saying "when is this going to stop?" I should be saying this is a "learning experience" I need to take something away from this.

This morning I came to work in my car and the poor thing is really old and didn't want to go up the hill. I was frustrated but then I realized that I should learn to be patient and just let the car drive. It cannot go faster and I cannot do anything about it. I could have been angry by the time I reached my office but I am feeling a little irritated but not so bad. I realized this is one way to teach me to be patient. 

I want to defeat this problem but I cannot do anything about it. God knows my heart and sees me for who I am. I need to stay focused on Him and not the problem. It will change in time. I am more than a conquer. 

Lord in all humility I pray help me today, guide me and give me the necessary wisdom and insight, help me stand firm and please bear with me. I want to be more than a conquer through You Lord. 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...
