"Two ways to live your life."

Deuteronomy 6: 5 MSG
“Love GOD, your God, with your whole heart: love him with all that’s in you, love him with all you’ve got!”

Albert Einstein said, 'There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.'

Matthew 7: 13 - 14 MSG
Being and Doing
"Don't look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practised in your spare time. Don't fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to Life - to God! - is vigorous and requires total attention."

I have reached a place in my life that I want to be in the right place at the right time; I want to manoeuvre through all the difficulties with success. I have decided to place myself under the headship of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I am learning what He wants me to do right now. I am asking that the Holy Spirit will carry me forwards. My greatest fear in life is that I would disappoint the Lord Jesus. I know I could be the same as every other woman. Worry about fashion, worry about my clothes, go partying and dancing. So I need to choose Life or death. Which do you prefer? But that's not important to me presently, and I'm not interested in that sort of thing. I am grateful the Lord has accepted me as His child. It's about am I serving God, or am I living a godless life.

The way God wants me to live is by reading His Word.  And here is my problem, I know what I'm supposed to be doing, but I often have a hard time doing it. I have slipped with discipline in my own life, and I am struggling to get this back on track.

Prayer
Father, blessed is those who hear the word of God and keep it. Lord he who keeps Your commandments abide in You, and He in him. And by this, we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. In Jesus 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...
