#Heart to Heart

To

Sometimes life can through a curve ball at you and sometimes we need to do a heart to heart with the most important person in this world.  My heart to heart this morning is my maker.

Oh Lord Jesus, out of my heart with thanks giving I want to praise You for yet another day.  Lord Jesus thank You that You are my savior and Lord Jesus thank You that You are one to give us second changes in life.  

Lord Jesus help me with my messed up life; I do have many regrets, I feel that I could have acted better as a parent, I could have acted better as a daughter, I could have acted better as a person in general.  Humbly Lord I pray forgive me for hurting the people in my life that mean the world to me.  Lord I pray that You will strengthen each person I have hurt, Lord I pray that You will lift them higher and that Lord You will open doors of great opportunities for each person.

Lord Jesus I bring my hearts desires to You asking that You will help me create a legacy for my children.  Lord let them be independent and successful and God fearing children.

Lord thank You that You allowed me to work another couple of months, I believe in time You will open the right doors, let me meet the right people and put me in the right place.

Praise and Hallelujah to Your holy name, Jesus

# 'Your pure and reverent conduct.'

“Actions speak louder than words.” 

1 Peter 3:1-2 New English Translation (NET Bible)

Wives and Husbands

¹In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands. Then, even if some are disobedient to the word, they will be won over without a word by the way you live, ² when they see your pure and reverent conduct.

Of all the people my husband chooses me, I am not one of the easiest people to get along with.  I am opinionated, straight forward and to the point.  I am trying to be compassionate but I lack in that area.  I don’t show sympathy and I hate lies.  It makes me seem unapproachable and really difficult.  I also don’t change my mind and my belief in God is unchangeable, according to me my Savior is the Lord Jesus Christ and nothing else matters.

Because of my feelings and my actions; my husband just isn’t interested in serving God.  He said he tried it and it doesn’t work.  I was at a loose and I felt terrible.  I then realised that I cannot push him to serve God and that I should set the example.  The thing is I am fickle and have a different way of approaching life.  I don’t badger him anymore with the Word of God and am more considered, watch my mouth and work on being sincere towards him.

The challenge I am facing currently is being compassionate, controlling my mouth and not saying things the way I see them.  I do love him and it is my hope that he will become a true Christian.  I do submit to him and I am trying to be a good wife and I pray each day that the Lord Jesus will help me set the example.  Let my actions speak loader than words, which by the way are difficult at the best of times.

Prayer:  Oh Lord, my God thank You for the word that You inspire woman to be subject to their own husbands.  Lord help us to be an inspiration and let our actions speak loader than words to draw our husbands to You in the Holy Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen

# Half a century Old Woman - Teehee me

The fear of growing older is something that plagues me constantly, fine lines that appear around my eyes, silver hair that shows up all the time.  My body is changing constantly and I feel like I am aging faster each day.

The thing that caught me today is my eye sight is not as it used to be, sometimes I find that I can see well enough and then suddenly its blurry.  I wonder how many people experience these kinds of symptoms.

I would not say that I am obese but I have put on a couple of pounds, I definitely am not as skinny as I used to be but I really don’t mind.  Gives me a little meat on the necessary areas ha ha.

My moods has also changed somewhat, I want to be a good person, I strife to be kind, I want to be friendly, compassionate and understanding.  I don’t want to be remembering as mean, unkind and unhelpful.  So guess what I am working on my self-talk, reminding myself to watch my mouth and see that I don’t hurt people intentionally.

The fact that I am a senior citizen is scary but what the heck, we are all aging and time is running out.  So on my side I make it my business to constantly speak to God, asking for advice, waiting for guidance, waiting for help and assistance with my way of thinking and most of all trusting in God for His supernatural favour in my own life.

Well this is my day today, I hope you enjoyed hearing from this old woman’s day. 

Don’t be bewildered or surprised

1 Peter 4: 12-13 Living Bible (TLB)

¹² Dear friends, don’t be bewildered or surprised when you go through the fiery trials ahead, for this is no strange, unusual thing that is going to happen to you. ¹³ Instead, be really glad—because these trials will make you partners with Christ in his suffering, and afterwards you will have the wonderful joy of sharing his glory in that coming day when it will be displayed.

Peter reminds the congregation that they shouldn’t be bewildered or surprised when they go through fiery trials.  But let’s be realistic, sometimes you are so surprised and bewildered at what is happening that very minute.  We sometimes are thrown of guard and when you struggling through the difficulty and cannot seem to get focused, that’s when you should remind yourself of God’s great plan for your own life.

My Dad used to remind us that we all face the same trials and tribulations in life because we are people and we need to learn, grow and God is busy changing and shaping our character. 

I also noticed that when the trials are at their most intense and toughest the outcome is normally great.  I want to encourage you today, stay focused on the Lord Jesus, don’t every give up and stretch yourself forward, grow spiritually and let God shape your character.  In the long run you will pick the fruits.

You are a blessing!
