Adopted Child of God

November 15
Adopted Child of God. Ephesians 1:5 (TLB) 5 "His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us. And he did this because he wanted to!" It is so exciting knowing that I am so important to God that He made plans a very long time ago to adopt me into His family. I know the Lord Jesus Christ had to die for me. I now have the opportunity of being God's child. If the Lord Jesus didn't die on the cross for me, my life would not be worth living. Have you considered what has taken place? God has called us. We are His children, and He is our friend. We are the righteousness of God in Christ, He bought us with a high price, we are holy, and God has adopted us. Can you imagine what life would be if we did not know the Lord? My life would be an enormous big mess. I am so grateful that God gave me a second chance and third and fourth and so many chances, to keep on returning to God. His mercy is new every day. Praise be to the LORD God, who is, who will come. Today I am sitting here and I turn to God and this is my heart "Lord, everything I need to succeed in life I have in You!" Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You, Lord! We have so much to be grateful for. The fact that You have adopted each one of us as Your children bring great joy into our hearts today. We are growing and becoming strong in the spirit filled with wisdom, and the grace of God is upon each of us. Lord, thank You, for pouring the blessings over each of us today. We are ready for anything and everything. In the name of Jesus, 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...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
