Grave ... ?



As I stand in a 6 foot grave looking up to my husband who was shovelling sand over me, I keep calling out to him, ‘please babe, let me come out of this grave.’  He just kept on shovelling the sand over me.  On waking up on Sunday morning I spoke to my husband and told him about my dream.  We discussed it and he felt that I was suppressing something or some feelings, or perhaps that I felt that someone was miss treating me.

Early this morning, I received a call from my daughter, just to let me know that her grandfather has passed away early this morning.

My question to you is, did I get a foreboding or was this just a coincidence? 

Life truly is short, and we need to keep our loved one’s close to us.

Stop taking live so seriously ....



Isaiah 66: 12 

12 This is what the Lord says:
“I will give Jerusalem a river of peace and prosperity.
    The wealth of the nations will flow to her.

New rules for my life starting from this very moment, I am going to stop taking life so seriously, no one leaves it alive now do they.  It is certain we all are travelling the same road at some stage in our lives we will meet our Maker.  This morning while I lay listening to the rain pouring outside, it struck me that I have so much to be grateful for.

This morning as I walk through the house I start by pleading the blood of Jesus Christ over each and every object in my house.  I dedicate my house back into the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ and pray over each bedroom, passage, bathroom, kitchen, lounge, dining room, stoeps, study and laundry.  I pray the Lord Jesus to send the Holy Spirit throughout my house and fill it with His presence.

My husband told me to lighten up and when I feel a negative thought plaguing my mind to replace it with something positive.  This morning I started, I prayed and ask the Lord to help me decide on my attitude of being happy and facing the day with a new strength and knowledge that God is in control over my life and I don’t have to worry about today, God knows best.


I walk to my car and as I sit listening to the radio, Angus was speaking and he posed the question of do you have a purpose in your life?  It struck me, I have lost mine.  What now? 

Humbly I come before the Lord and pray Lord please help me find out what my purpose is in this life of mine.

My God is an awesome God!!



Psalm 145: 18

The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. 

As I started my day, I realised again that it is really difficult to go out into the work place if I don’t have back-up.  I seem to be more afraid and more reserved than ever before.  Everything I attempt seems to be super difficult.  It seems I need strength for basic stuff, courage to face each day.  As I sit here and think of the day ahead of me all I can do is pray a prayer asking the Lord Himself to be with me as I seem to be so frail and scared.  

Lord God I will praise You for the help of Your countenance.  Lord Jesus I will trust in You with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding; in all I do today I will submit to YOU, and Lord You will make my paths straight.

Reminding myself to Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless YOUR Holy name!  Bless the LORD O my soul, and forget not all HIS benefits.

My the love of the Lord Jesus fill your hearts and minds today and take courage and know that God is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow.!!

Have an awesome day honey!

Bad Dreams that worry me constantly...



The past couple of weeks I have been struggling with bad dreams.  Waking up really worried, the one that comes to mind is I was walking in a farm land and when I looked up I saw this young male Lion staring at me.  When he saw that I saw him, he started to roar and headed straight for me.  I turned away from the Lion and started to run for the house that stood before me.  On entering the house the only safe place I could find was a small old fashioned wardrobe.  Opening the doors, and pushing into the clothes I closed the doors behind me.  Almost suffocating, hearing the Lions roar behind me.  Wakening startled and really worried.


My other nemesis is snakes, also sleeping then waking up from this dream.  I was standing in a room and as I turn to walk out of the room a huge snake with big fangs ready to strike me down.  I feel how I try and run away from the snake and just as it lunges towards me I wake up – almost ready to die.
I cannot think why I seem to be suffering with feelings of retribution and it seems there is vengeance in these dreams.

The only way forward is to pray about these dreams and trust the Lord Jesus to help me.  What should I do to stop these horrible dreams?

God's Timing ....



Napoleon Hill “Opportunity … often it comes in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.”

2 Timothy 4:18

'The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom.'

To top it off I find that the Lord works in mysterious ways, I open my daily thought which Alive to God, Pastor Andrew & Vanessa Roebert, sends me each morning.  I read ‘The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom.’  See how faithful the Lord is.  Answered me; before; I even asked Him.

Facing difficulty is not easy and I feel so sorry for people that cannot turn to the Lord our God because they don’t know Him.  There are people out there in situations that are not sure where there next meal is going to come from.  How they will pay the rent to their homes, buy food for their babies.  I know that it is daunting but I believe God is in control and will open the right doors for all of them.
My patience have worn thin and this morning I decided what does it help to constantly complain and moan and groan.  It won’t make things change, I don’t have the power to influence God to make things happen for me.  I have to trust in His good timing and believe that He has my best interest at heart.  I know I am impatient and I want things done now.  Humbling feels of helplessness can overwhelm me at times but I realise I still have an anchor in my Lord Jesus Christ.  

Take heart my friend; God’s timing is always just right.  I believe that God will lift you and me up at the right time.
