Girl's Heart for Christ

After putting all the kids to bed, I sat down with my bible in the sitting room, my husband sitting on the adjacent couch with his TD Jakes book he was reading. I opened my bible and started reading the book of Isaiah 50. I read through the whole chapter and last two verses shocked me. It said "Let the one who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on their God. But now, all you who light fires and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your fires and of the torches you have set ablaze. This is what you shall receive from my hand: You will lie down in torment," Isaiah 50:10b-11 That same night my husband read a scripture in Psalms during our evening devotion with the children about trusting God and not princes. Now again this scripture talks about trusting God in the dark, where I don't have any light and to rely on Him. I thought about darkness, trying to imply it on my life. When a person is the dark, t

My dear girlfriends, I thought to write today about faith and perseverance. But before I come to that I would love (so excited) to share the results of my weight lost. Well since this is September, exactly six months after I posted about my plan for weight lost I would love to reveal my weight. I now weigh 81.5 kg. Hiipii (I hope you are screaming for me as well). My target weight was 80kg by the end September, I still have a week to go and 1.5kg to lose. To be honest it was not easy, it never is, but I held on and pushed through. I believe the one thing that helped me was fasting. Some time ago I fasted for a week and I lost like 4kgs. Please don't get me wrong I will never fast to lose weight (not that is wrong though), but who will say no to the physical benefits. I believe it takes faith and perseverance to lose weight and I praise God he stood by me. I love what the Bible says about self-control and perseverance in  2 Peter 1:6    " (add)  to knowledge s elf-control, to

I have been trying to write this post for a week now. Each time I open my blog to write I look at the keyboard and the words seem far from my mind. I know what I want to say and what title to give but starting seemed like mountains to move. Here I am today enjoying the blessing of words written. "One step at the time" (I took a picture of me and my husband's foot prints on the beach, cute isn't it? :)) this phrase means so many things to me, carrying so many stories of my life, my dreams, struggles and goals. But the story I want to share today is my weight loss program I started two weeks ago. Before I go into that let me share a scripture with you. "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way." Psalms 37:23 As hard as it may be to lift up your foot to take that first step this scripture can take the weight off your feet to make that first step and to continue taking more steps each day. How comforting to know that

"When, Father, when?" These are the questions I find myself asking almost every day. "When will you use me the way You said you will, or am I mistaken that it was You or just my own desires." The questions are many and often the answers are not there. But sometimes all I hear in my heart is "wait". I don't know how long I must wait, and seriously I get impatient most of the times. I get all this ideas of how I will serve God. Write a book, open women's ministry, do this and that, but unless God gives a go-ahead all ideas are just dreams. The other day I was watching a movie on David. I don't know if I heard it before but I heard that after David was anointed to be king of Israel he waited for more than 10 more years. First he was anointed as a young boy by Samuel ( 1 Samuel 16 ), he worked for Saul who was king then. After Saul's death David became king of Judah ( 2 Samuel 2 ) and after 7 years he became king of all Israel when he was 30

"I know what I am doing Baby, I was taught this way at the driving school!", were my words to my husband when he advised me on how to park our new car. Well maybe I did know, but just like a baby thinks she knows how to unwrap a sweet and insist to do it by herself. My first born never wanted anyone to unwrap a sweet for her, she always thought she can do it by herself, and if it was impossible she would give give it to you to help her, BUT, if you unwrap it completely it will mean war! You were only to unwrap it half way and give it back for her to finish the process. Just like my baby I thought I could do the driving my way, the way I was taught at the driving school. For me my husband wanted to take over my driving skills and wanted to give me his which I was too proud to take. Then it happened! One morning I was in a hurry (don't really know for what reason). I wanted to start the car while standing outside of the car.... Can you believe.... I thought I knew what I

Tomorrow I want to wake up to a greener world. I want to open my eyes tomorrow And see the sunlight shine through my window. Tomorrow I pray that there will be sunshine through the clouds. I want to wake up and smile, I want to forget about today, tomorrow. There is a place my heart longs for, a song my soul wants to hear. There is a melody I want to hum to. There is a smell I long for, and a rest my heart can't wait for. O, how my soul longs to see that beautiful place, where I will be free, free from the struggles of today. Free and redeemed forever. There is  a place that I long for, and I want to live in that place today, for tomorrow that place is reality.
