Waiting

I wonder how many of you will relate to my story today... If no one does then I must be from Mars :) My life has been full of lessons on waiting and believe me I think I got a trophy in that by now. Right now I am also in the process of waiting. I am working on a contract for the third year now. And if you know money does not really mean a lot if the bank is not on your side. Well at first I used to get so overwhelmed by wanting this or that. Trying to buy a house or even a car, but I can't because like a said the bank is not on your site if you are working for a two or one year contract... You know the joy of staying in your own house. I have build and decorated my house over and over again in my mind. I painted the walls green today and tomorrow purple, the other day blue or whatever colour I feel like that day. Its so funny but I kind of like it, I think it gives me more options on how to design and decorate my house one day. Well I am still waiting for that day, and I have learn to do that patiently. Like the word of God says in Romans 5:3-5
"3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love."
And my dear friends what is endurance without patience? I don't know what you are waiting for, but I know that God gives us hope in our waiting. So be of good courage my co-waiting sister, hope does not disappoint, and on an appointed time God will give us the substance for your hopes. The truth remains that God has a plan for our lives and that He loves us, and with His timing that plan will surely come to pass. Keep on trusting, obeying and serving Him while you wait, because it all comes down to being joyful in our waiting. Till next times girls, have a heart for Christ, will you?

Share with me what you have been waiting and how you are doing, I will say a prayer for you to have peace and joy while you wait.

Tormentors

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...

String-attached mistakes

"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

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.
