Your attitude matters

Maybe you do not like where you are now. Maybe you are praying for a better oppertunity to come your way. So in the midst of still waiting you find yourself becoming miserable and trying to do things in your strenght and become so negative that you cant see anything good in anything or anyone.  What if you are being placed there for such a time as this. Where others see no future you can be the light carrier of a bright future. You have the ability to change things around with the right attitude. With a positive attitude of showcasing the character of Christ within in.  What if this place is just the way God's gory will see itself being manifested. How is it that we tend to always want the attention on us and not seeing God in the midst of our storm or challenges. What if God is using this difficult situation to build your character. See the difficulties as an oppertunity of God being glorified through you. Become the vessel God want to let His glory to be revealed. It about H...

Identity

Our identities is probably one of the biggest things holding us back.  I thought I knew who I were until I lived a little longer.  I am no longer willing to be silent to make people comfortable.  I am no longer willing to act like I don't know who I am so other people don't feel intimidated.  I am no longer willing to be the quiet one in the room so that I don't get picked out in any  way  Everything I learn about myself I had to start write it in pencil because it is subject to change  As you grow your identity has to evolve to hold everything that you are. If you written certain things in permanent marker you will never become more.  I used to say I'm an introvert and it wasn't that I am an introvert.  I learned how to edit myself because when I  spoke people listen. What if you aren't really the quiet one,  you just do that so other people don't feel uncomfortable.  What if you walking into a new experience of yourself means...

Life-changing investment

In 5 months time it will be 10 years ago when everything changed. I found myself looking for answers in all the wrong places. Partying, drinking and thinking I am having the time of my life. Involved in a relationship that I did not think was important until I realised I'm playing with someone's heart. This time around  it was not just someone who are here for temporary fun but someone who actually saw a future with me. For someone who have been hurt multiple times this was a reality shock and I realise I was on the wrong path. I thought I could play with people's feelings because of the hurt and disappointment in relationships I had in the past and thought  I could do it with anyone and move on. This was truly a reality check for me. The realisation of being on the wrong path drove me to searching for a place where I could go and praise God again. I have drifted slowly and surely away from the house of the Lord since I moved away from home. I have explored the world throug...

You are being watched by others

The other day at work I was asked  "How are you doing"? I said I'm doing good. The person asked me if I am sure that I really am. The question than changed to how are you spiritually doing"?  I said goooood.. With a surprising face.  So I ask why is she asking. She said to me that "Your light is not shining as usual"! Since last week I observed it. This really hit me! After our gathering of roll call as we call it in my working environment I went to look for her. To tell her she should pray for me as she saw it without me realizing it. Long story short I did not find her as she was occupied in a meeting.  I however walked  into the office of a man of God and I told him about what happen as she is a friend of his. This is someone I usually also talk about the things of Christ.  He said so powerfully how we are the reflection of Jesus through our way of doing life everyday as children of God. We do not always have to say too much words of encouragement but ou...

Communicating with my Father

The first of many post still. I  am greatful that I have made it into the new year. Thank you Father God. I am so expectant to walk in all God has called me to be. I am also unapologetically going after everything that has my name on it. The Bible says the violent take it by Faith. I am siting here and already grabbing it with both my hands. Nothing can stop me now!! Lord God you are so faithful. You are Lord over everything. You are beautiful Father. Thank you for just everything. I owe you everything and therefore I do not want to loose or even break communication with you OH Lord. I am so angry today and I am just venting tonight by Your feet. Many things are not always as it seems and I have come to learn the hard way dear Lord. Guide me in all my ways. May I see You in all I do and as I begin tomorrow with work may I find you in it Lord. I am invite to walk with me. I need you Lord.

Jy is spesiaal!

Soms wonder jy of jy genoeg is? Of jy mooi genoeg is, slim genoeg is, ryk genoeg is of self invloedryk genoeg is. Dit kan jou dan laat wonder of jy ooit spesiaal genoeg is om te wees waar jy jouself bevind. Tog kan jy nie help dat jy gebore is in die familie wat jy het of dat jy in die dorp, stad is waar jy is. Veral as jong dogter of seun wat nie vir hulle self werk en sorg. Jy is nog afhanklik van ma en pa en soms wil jy so haastig klaar maak met skool om onder hulle sorg weg te beweeg.  Tog as jy wel wegbreek besef jy dat dit maar altyd beter en soms lekkerder by die huis was as wat jy nou op jou eie is. Hier waar jy nou self moet uit haal en wys en verantwoordelikheid moet opneem vir jou eie lewe. As jongmeisie of seun het jy weer ander uitdagings soos bv  wat jy nou eintlik uit die lewe wil hê. Jy scroll op social media en hou ander mense dop en wil dan soos hulle wees of self die goed he wat hulle het. Tog weet jy dat jy dit nie kan beskostig nie. Dan kom die vraag weer....

Brief aan my jonger self

Liewe Sandy Ek sien jou swaar trek aan die laste wat nie eers joune is nie. Jy wat nie eens jou kop soms by die huis wou uitsteek omdat jy so skaam is vir goed wat jy nie eens gedoen het nie. Soms voel dit jy wil jou kop in n gat steek as die polisie van weereens n draai kom maak na goed wat jy nie eens create het nie.  Tog voel jy skaam as of jy iets gedoen het. Jy is maar daar omdat jy daar beland het vir n doel. Jy kon dit nie in  daardie oomblikke gesien het nie. Maar dus aande op aande wanneer musiek reg deur die nag doef doef wat jou uit hou vermoe kom leer het.  Jy wou al so baie kere net oppak en weghardloop maar omdat jy n doel gehad het om skool klaar te maak, het jy maar deurgedruk. Ooh maar jy is n brawe meisie Sandy. Ek het nie geweet jy kan so baie dra nie. Jy het tog iemand gesoek met wie jy kon praat maar daar was niemand beskikbaar gewees nie .  Ons Hemelse Vader het ook geweet jy sal dit maak al was daar nie iemand met wie jy kon praat maar tog weet...
