I am going through today without uttering one word of complaint!


Daily Devotional Ebenezer


1 Chronicles 23: 30 AMP They are to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at evening,

 I have noticed in our house people go to work, come home and complain all the time. Nothing about their work is excellent, I get the feeling they are entitled and think everything should fall into their laps. It's one complaint after another, everybody is out to get them, and life is so unfair.
What I have come to realize is with all these complaints, it now is starting to affect my attitude. I am feeling miserable and unthankful.
On examining my own life, I have come to realize that I am ungrateful and very selfish right now. I feel no one appreciates me, and everybody in our home is taking advantage of me. I seem to be murmuring and complaining about everything, and I am not grateful.
Here's the challenge, I can get through today without uttering a word of complaint.
I have decided to be grateful for everything in my life, and I am happy and thankful that I can share my thoughts with you.
I want to become outrageously grateful.
Lord Jesus, I want to draw closer to You, I want my intimacy with You to increase, and I am trusting the Holy Spirit to come and fill my life today.
Prayer  Lord, Abba Father, I want to come into Your presence asking to forgive me for all my complaints and grumbling, I have been sinning against You this whole week. I repent of my ungrateful heart and pray to forgive me. I am so grateful for another day and that I can come in humble prayer to You. Thank You, Lord, for giving me a second chance of blessings, 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...
