Yvette's Whispers of Faith

If you look at me and my size you probably would not even consider that I suffer with a really bad temper.    The problem I face is before I realize it I have ‘Lost it’ completely.   People I know who enjoy upsetting me make it even more difficult to watch myself. Of course you think ha, that’s not difficult ignore them.   The thing is they seem to detect the days when I am not at my best.   Those days I completely ‘fly off the handle’.   Then they have the cheek to get upset and feel hurt when I explode. So I have no resorted to studying the Bible in more depth, focusing my time and energy on verse to help me cope.  Proverbs 20: 3 ‘It is honorable to back off from a fight, but fools jump right in.’ The problem is I am not afraid and when challenged I step up and am always ready.   So no to change my thinking, take a deep breath and pick my fights; how to cope with this situation?  Proverbs 19: 11 ‘Insightful peopl...

Giants in my own life are aging, finding a good paying job and being able to look good and feel good about myself.   Facing the fact that I am growing older and that I cannot do the things I used to do and maintaining it, I tell you it freaks me out at time. I look at people and I think everybody seems to be doing just fine, I doubt they go through any of the things I do.   It seems that each person has wonderful days, wonderful lives, wonderful jobs, wonderful friends and family and not to mention great very great lives. Today is my day of moaning I feel down, I feel yucky and miserable, I feel lonely and I feel sick, my stomach isn’t right.   The pessimist in me is much stronger than ever today. I have been praying and fasting for people in my life and today it seems I just cannot lift myself up, I think I might be tired and because of that I feel yucky. I want to change my point of view but right now, I just cannot stay focused and I feel that I am...

I am still in a job and will be for the next year, this is my confession for this abundant year 2015.  I confess and believe that the Lord God is in control and that I am able to secure a job this year.  Praise and honor to His Great and Holy, Holy, Holy name. I want to wish you a wonderful and supernaturally blessed year too, I want to encourage you to keep on praying and seeking the Lord with all your heart.  God is able to open the right doors at the right time. Jeremiah 17: 7-8 ' Blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence.  They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.  Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought.  Their leaves stay green and they never stop producing fruit.' Taking up this challenge of staying in the Lord is my quest this year and I am going to do whatever it take to say in HIM. Blessings a...

A man received the following text from his neighbor: "I am so sorry Bob. I've been riddled with guilt and I have to confess.  I have been helping myself to your wife, day and night when you're not around. In fact, I have probably been getting more than you. I do not get it at home - but that's no excuse. I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you will accept my sincerest apology with my promise that it won't ever happen again." On reading the text, the man, anguished and betrayed, went directly into his bedroom, grabbed his gun and, without a word, shot his wife dead. A few moments later, a second text came in, "Bloody spell check!! Sorry Bob, the second sentence should refer to your wifi."

My attitude in general is very negative and I have been working hard at the change in my own life, by the way it doesn’t work that way. I soon came to realize that nothing I say and do can change who I am.   The only ‘One’ able to change me is ‘The Almighty God – Lord Jesus Christ’. Now after hard work and struggling I decide to hand my situation over to the Lord.   In the meantime I have been learning. 1.       Taking my thoughts captive 2 Corinthians 10: 5 ‘ We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Now I am instructing my thought life to the Lord Jesus.   When I feel that I cannot cope with my own thoughts I pray and give them to the LORD. I have decided that I will believe every word of God through the Bible.   Jesus Christ is my salvation and I will submit every thought I have to Him.   ...

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

“For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land — a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills.” (Deuteronomy 8:7, NIV) I have been hearing from the Holy Spirit through the Bible in quiet time as well as through family and friends and also through my daily devotions.  "The LORD my God is bringing me  into a good land - a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills. I am going to Live my life today ... dream my dreams tomorrow and cherish my yesterday, keeping the good and letting go of the bad. I am so grateful that the Lord My God has blessed me with the ability to draw and enjoy a full life.  Thank you Father God. Blessing to you, because all my friends are a Blessing!!!!

Proverbs 14: 23 The Voice    23 Prosperity comes from hard work, but talking too much leads to great scarcity. Thinking about these word I must tell you it is so true, I have seen when I get to work and get down to business and do what is on my desk immediately I have a lot of free time the rest of the day.   By looking at the piles of paper siting on my desk talking about when I get down to doing the work and just paging through them makes no difference.   Later on they are still there and then here by the end of the week I have twice as much to process than before. So procrastination is truly the same as talking too much about what I should be doing than putting my hands out and actually doing the job.   Another thing that I must tell you I have observed is by being diligent in working hard while the work is pouring in, this not only makes me become better at what I do, I then start to excel. For me I would like to be the best in wh...
