My thoughts and my life

A reminder for today His lightning flashes out across the world. The earth sees and trembles. (Psalm 97:4) My dear friend, do we comprehend the almighty God that we worship? There are moments in my life where I so clearly remember the might that is in Him. How He rescued me from fatal disaster and how He healed me when I was sick and desperately in need of better health. I remember all my victories that I had and how some seemed so impossible. I see His hand in my work and the wonder of the gift of knowledge that He bestowed upon me. I look at all the talents I received and those two beautiful boys that I love so much and I know how great my God is. His lightning flashes and the earth trembles. That is so powerful and I believe you need to see this from my eyes. You see we face the impossible most days and we struggle with fear and regret all through our life. We allow pain and guild to alter who we are. Why do we have so little faith? We stare at our problems and we hid...

A reminder for today He led them from the darkness and deepest gloom; He snapped their chains. (Psalm 107:14) It is ok to be not ok. Yesterday when I wanted to leave my oldest son did not want me to go. It nearly broke me. I struggled so much to get back from the depths and return to the light. Luckily I am staying over at my brother’s house. This time with them helps me to remain sane.  I woke up today and I can feel how the Lord is leading us from this deep and dark gloom back into the path that leads to life. Sometimes we must just stand and look up and exhale for a moment. Sometimes we just need to step back for a moment and allow Jesus to take over. Sometimes we need to relax. He will snap our chains and break this darkness that continuous to bring us down.  Jesus already took our sin and He will surely help us to carry this burden that we face each day. He will strengthen us in our weakest moment and rejoice with us in our greatest moments. With Him th...

A reminder for today The LORD went ahead of them. He guided them during the day with a pillar of cloud, and he provided light at night with a pillar of fire. This allowed them to travel by day or by night. (Exodus 13:21) I look at all the challenges that still await us and then the Lord answers with these verses. How awesome to know that the Lord our God will guide us through any storm and any kind of weather, no matter how difficult. My days are like the waves of the ocean. They have good and bad moments. During the day my mind is busy with work, but when I am alone my mind is in a constant battle. It is hard, because I have a difficult time with accepting and understanding. I can’t accept that I can’t have my boys and I can’t understand people and their way of thinking. I can’t understand that there must always be issues. I was afraid for what lies ahead, but today the Lord reminded me that He will cloud us against the sun and warm us in the cold of night. He will guid...

A reminder for today Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. (Genesis 1:3) This is probably one of my most favourite verses in the Bible. God created all of this around us and He did so by merely speaking it. Today I want us to trust God as He reminds me that He is able to speak life into the toughest of situations. As we battle each day with the continuous onslaughts from the enemy, we are reminded that God speaks and there is light. I pray that the Lord will speak this over us today. Let there be light and let all darkness that threatens our happiness disappear as we walk and rejoice in His light. I miss my boys so much each night and it hurts so much, but God is healing my pain and my shame. I lift up my hands to the heavens and I call on His name.  Come my friend, nothing should bring us down for we are worshipping a living God. Nothing is impossible for Him and with Him we are able to do the impossible. There are no limits in Jesus an...

A reminder for today The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armour of right living. (Romans 13:12) Wow, what an awesome verse. I have been under huge Spiritual attacks the last few days and I could feel how the enemy is trying to dampen my good spirit and pull me back down into darkness. I worry about my boys and I worry about the days to come. I believe all happens with a purpose and that we will see God’s hand at work in our good and bad times.  So today I remove my dark deeds like dirty clothes and put on the shining armour of right living. I open my heart and my soul so that the Lord can bring change into my life as He rebuilds all that is broken and hurt. I look up with faith and hope and I know all will be well. Time will heal our wounds and God will keep His hands over my boys and protect them from this hurt. He will turn their sadness back into joy and lift their s...
