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...

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...
