Yvette's Whispers of Faith

Job 1: 10 10  “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. ” Satan was in the meeting speaking to God, he and God where discussing Job.   I believe that there are many meetings held each day around God’s people.   Satan will come to God with whatever You are doing and tell God about your sins which you have committed.   I believe today was one of those days, I am not the most perfect of people and I do have a temper problem.   Yes, little old me, a temper?   Believe me I have a bad temper. It was a difficult day for me, I faced it head on, chin up and back straight but I thank the Lord it is over and I made it.   I believe that God is in control over my life and I can trust in Him. My prayer is: 'Lord please may I come into Your hedge of protection, may I ask You to keep Your hand of protection over me, m...

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...

Romans 12: 17 – 19 ‘don’t hit back; discover beauty in everyone.   If you’ve got it in you, get along with everybody.   Don’t insist on getting even; that’s not for you to do.   I’ll do the judging, says God.   ‘I’ll take care of it.’ (The Message) Life has not been so kind to me and I find the older I get the more I want to ‘hit back’.   I know and have come to realise that most people go through the same things.   People are fickle and boy can they disappoint you.   Looking back at what has happened in my own life, I sometimes feel that it is my right to actually ‘hit back’.   Well it isn’t that easy and being mean spirited doesn’t work for me.   I don’t want to become someone that is all bitter and twisted.   I don’t want to sit at home in a couple of years and think back to the years of being bitter and twisted.  I want to make a difference, I want people to look at me and say ‘she is always kind, understanding and f...

Have you looked at your hands lately?   I have been studying mine for a couple of weeks now.   They are so wrinkled and old looking it gives my age away.   Then I started to think about my hands, what they mean to me and how they serve me. First of all these hands of mine held my three children.   Helping them grow up, I fed them with my hands and later I taught them to dress properly with my hands.   I held them in my arms with my hands and I look after them with these hands.   I washed washing with these hands, I knitted and sewed with these hands, I painted oil paintings with these hands, I wrote long letters with these hands.   I washed dishes with these hands, cleaned my house with these hands.   My hands have seen so much water it is no wonder they are so wrinkled.     Most importantly my hands are able to do the things I need done, I can take up my Bible and read the scriptures.   With my hands I am able to ...

There was a time in my life when I believed that I would be looking after more children, perhaps I would adopt a couple of children to fill my house.   Life sure changes and I am looking after two young children.   The funny thing is I don’t have the same patience and understanding I may have had when I was a younger mom, I also get irritated by the way the children act and behave.   Nevertheless, they are two sweet young kids, growing up in a house with a step mom must be difficult for them too.   I have strict laws and I keep them to it, I don’t let anyone get away with stuff that don’t suit me.   So at the present time life is hard for them. Currently I am focusing my life on Romans 12, Paul writes and tells the Christians to keep their minds focused on God.   We need to keep our daily lives focused on God, you know your day-to-day living, your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life.   Bringing this before the Lord and as...
