Yvette's Whispers of Faith

  I like Red Bull and I must tell you they are radical but when it comes to my Lord Jesus Christ and people making a fool of my God I get really mad.   What on earth is wrong with this world?   No one will us any of the Buddha or Shiva or Allha.   Come on people, the only God that has any power is our Lord Jesus Christ and guess what the world will make fun of my God. I believe because there is so much power in the name of Jesus Christ that the people know this and will do most anything to get that power.   The problem is Christians don’t stand up for our Lord.   We must stop being so placid and accepting, walk overs and let the world know we do not agree with this sort of thing. My Lord Jesus Christ walked on the water and there weren’t any stones so don’t you dare come along and say the Lord walked on hidden stones.   You are the fool here not my Lord.

Monday and I am sitting in my study, I don’t know what my future holds for me.   I don’t know where my life is going.   I am here and it seems that just nothing is happening.   Reading my Bible and doing Bible study and praying for my family.   Then I look at my life and I wonder what is going to become of me.   Everything I try just doesn’t seem to work.   I have basically come into a place where I just cannot move up, down or sideways.   So how on earth do I get up and go on with my life?   How do I get out of this rut I find myself in.   At first it didn’t worry me, I was content and happy to just be.   Lately I don’t want to ‘just be’ I want to life my live. I have been reading about David and the way his life turned out just after the affair with the beautiful Bathsheba.   King David was standing on this balcony looking out over the city and there Bathsheba was taking a bath on top of her house roof.   A very normal thi...

Can you believe it, yes, it is the weekend once again.  I swear times seems to be flying off the hook these days, just the other day it was Monday and look today is Saturday.  I am constantly busy and it seems my days just fly by.  I wonder how the year is going to end for me.  We are preparing to attend our 30 year School reunion, this is going to be so exciting.  We will be seeing some of our class mates and what they have accomplished over the years. How I miss my husband over weekends, he works away from home and this results in me only seeing him in the week. Weekends his gone and we don't see him until Sunday evening, his normally tired and wants to relax in front of the TV.  How my life has changed.  I have some encouraging words from the Lord, Psalm 27: 14 Be of good courage, and He will strengthen your hear.  Thank you Lord for being there for me and strengthening me for the day ahead of me.  I cannot face this day without you....

Reading this scripture Psalm 139: 14 NIV ‘I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.’ Yes I agree with the Lord, I am fearfully and wonderfully made, I can say thank You Lord for making me the way I am.   I have fine dark brown hair, green eyes and a lovely complexion.   Well-balanced individual with the knowledge and understanding that the Lord is my saviour and my God.   I am redeemed and I know that I will go to heaven someday.   I am aging and yes my body is changing and I am hopefully growing old gracefully.   I enjoy the friendship and love of my husband, who by the way adores me.   I also enjoy the friendship of all my children and I love them dearly.   I have the honour of being a Grandma to a beautiful little girl.   She is growing so fast and looking more and more just like her daddy.    My life is as the Lord has ordained and I am fortunate in being able to l...

I have been thinking about this for some time, it struck me that we go through the ‘wilderness experience’ to actually humble us before the Lord God.   We have become so self-centred and not concerned at what God can do for us that we forget about Him and do our own thing.   Also, you may have come to repent of your sins and now the testing starts, you don’t understand the difficulties that come to you. Now the test starts, your car breaks down, after you had it at the garage for a service and repairs.   They have to tow you into the garage and the news come that the ‘gearbox’ is broken.   You just paid about ex amount for the repairs a week ago.   You just get your mind around that ‘gearbox’ being broken and the wife’s car’s right hand side window collapses and falls in, another ex-amount for this to be repaired.   Oh and of course the ‘electricity bill’ this comes too and in fact it was delayed and you forgot to keep some cash aside to pay this accoun...

Is it by my housekeeping and cooking and making our house into a home?   Is it by looking after the children?   Checking homework, making sure they know what to do next?   Is it by listening to all the long stories and laughing at the silly mistakes they make?   Is it by reading the Bible to them and asking them key questions? I actually do not know.   I want to make a difference in the lives of each of the people I meet and I so want to be able to know that I was able to fulfil their needs at that time. I have been drawing closer to the Lord God in humble prayer, I wait to see how the Lord God is going to renew my mind and change my way of life.   I want to be able to serve people and my family without complaining and nagging.   I so want to be a more serving person, someone that you are able to rely on and know that I will be there no matter what.   Do I have the strength and the ability to do my job?   Am I able to make a difference ...
