Reflection on life well-lived; trust; introspection and hope

by Yvette
As the years pass, I find myself reflecting more on my behavior, how I treat others, and how I interpret their treatment of me. I observe their actions and carefully consider their words. I wonder if this introspection is a common trait among those in their golden years. It's a stark contrast to my earlier days when I paid little mind to others' opinions or actions. Back then, their place in life and their pursuits didn't concern me; I was engrossed in my own endeavors. Now, lying on my bed, serenaded by the joyful melodies of birds, hope surges within me. Each new day brings fresh opportunities. I aspire to fill my thoughts with joy, to release the burdens of anger and hurt that have lingered for too long. Lord, today I place my trust in You, surrendering all my worries and anxieties into Your capable hands. I am reassured by 1 Peter 5:7, which implores us to "cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you," and find strength in Psalm 56:1-13, which declares, "Trust in God; He is stronger than any adversary." I resolve to shift my focus towards Your boundless mercy and grace. I will sing of Your enduring love, making known Your faithfulness through the ages. Your love stands unwavering, firmly established in the heavens. You promised, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant: I will establish your line forever and make your throne firm through all generations." Unlike David, I am a simple individual, without grand lineage to boast of. In You, I place my trust, and my praise shall forever be Yours. Prayer Lor my the favor of the LORD our God rest upon me and my family and friends, establish the work of our hands for us - yes, establish the work of our hands. Thank you Lord 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...

#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...
