Letter to my friends

Dear Beloved Friends in Christ, I hope this message finds you in the peace and grace of our Lord. Today, I am compelled to share with you a powerful scripture that has been resonating in my heart. In Lamentations 3:21-22 (RSV), it is written, "But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end." As we meditate upon these words, let us be filled with awe and gratitude. Amid life's challenges, it is truly astounding to know that our hope rests in the unwavering love of the Lord. We must remind ourselves that we can find hope in the Lord's love, which is boundless and everlasting. His love never ceases; He will never cut us off. His mercies are inexhaustible and never come to an end. In these trying times, it is crucial to immerse ourselves in the Word of God. By doing so, we renew our minds and become like sponges, absorbing His teachings and wisdom. When life squeezes us, and we face trials and tribulations, what spills out of us is the beautiful aroma of God's love and grace. This fragrance is refreshing, and it stems from being filled with the Lord's Word. I have observed a lack of care and mercy in our interactions with one another. It pains my heart to witness the absence of essential virtues such as mercy and respect among us. In our journey as Christians, let us not forget to extend these qualities to others, just as the Lord extends His mercy and love to us. Let us bow our heads in prayer: "Dear Lord, we come before you with humble hearts, seeking your guidance and strength. Help us not to lose hope, even in the face of challenges. Teach us to place our trust in You and Your sacred scriptures. Grant us the wisdom and patience to navigate every situation life throws our way. Lord, we love and worship You, and we place our lives in Your hands. In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen." May the love and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ be with each one of you, comforting and sustaining you in every moment. In Christ's love, Yvette

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...
