A Yearning for Spiritual Growth and Divine Connection

Luke 12: 32 It is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. John 16: 24 Until now you have aksed nothin in My Name. Ask, and you will receive, tht your joy may be full.
In anticipation of the year ahead, I find myself seeking the Lord's guidance for a profound spiritual journey. My heartfelt desire is to encounter the Holy Spirit, igniting a transformative change within me, dispelling negativity from my heart, and breathing life into seemingly impossible situations. My aspirations extend beyond personal growth; I earnestly pray for blessings upon my family, friends, and professional endeavors. May the Lord's favor encompass my husband, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, mother, stepfather, sister, brother, and dear friends. Additionally, I hope to be an invaluable asset to my employer, contributing to the company's success while expanding my knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. Despite the excitement, a tinge of fear accompanies these hopes. I acknowledge my longing for a profound, life-changing walk in faith with God. My desire is not for calamity, divorce, or death, but for a Holy Spirit-inspired awakening, renewing my vision, dreams, and ultimately, my destiny. With unwavering faith, I declare God as my healer, redeemer, deliverer, strength, and shelter. As I approach the evening, I surrender my fatigue, stress, and burdens to the Lord, seeking renewed strength and release from life's pressures. In this moment, I affirm my proximity to the Lord, drawing close as promised in James 4:8. My soul yearns for a deeper, more intimate relationship with God, seeking to know Him in every conceivable way. I reject the notion of being "always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth" (2 Timothy 3:7). Lord, reveal the truth about who You are, for I know You are near to those who call upon You in truth (Psalm 145:18). I open myself to Your work within me, desiring to eliminate anything that hinders my time in Your presence. Let my prayers align with Your will and deepen my understanding of You. In the dryness of my spiritual thirst, I heed Your invitation, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink" (John 7:37). I come to You, longing for a deeper manifestation of Your presence, yearning to dwell in Your sacred space like never before.

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...
