Today I want to share with you. My diamond must be trust.

I've been trying very hard for very long to really live my life trusting God for everything I  need. I've always known that He has never let me down. This last few weeks, however my trust shifted to a whole new level. I can't really explain the feeling I'm feeling today. My whole relationship with God, our Father have changed - or maybe it is me who changed.

 I finally realised what God has already done fo me on the cross. I know - we all say it, we understand and we are greatfull, but do you really understand ?? Do you really know the whole story ?? Let me just say - it is bigger than you ever thought it was and God love you much more than you think possible.

Normally when I am in need I would ask people for help. I would just pick up the phone and call my parents and they will help me but this time I decided not to call. It was a very stressfull time for me. I pushed myself. When I was driving in my car I kept on reminding myself that God is my Provider. When I went to bed at night I repeated the same words over and over again. I really put my trust and my faith out there, I put it into action. I reminded myself constantly of what God has already done for me and how much He loved me. I REALLY put my trust in God.

I am so blessed today. God provided. One day my father called me and asked why I didn't call. My answer was - Dad if I called you I didn't live a life of trust. I wanted to put my trust in God, not in people. We are so easily blinded by this world. We are so easily fooled by people and their appearances. It is so easy to put your trust into people. Yes, they will come threw for you, sometimes, but what is the price you have to pay.

Let me tell you. The price you have to pay is to high. Choosing to trust people over God ??
Who on earth loves you the way God loves you ?? Who on earth can provide without asking anything in return ??

The diamond I found over the last few weeks is trust. In the Bible God makes a lot of promises to us. Take that promises. Focus on them and see how your life will be transformed.

All I can say today is thank you God for loving me unconditionally.

Today is one of those days. I'm expecting the unexpected. It is the beginning of a new week and anything can happen.

Just a few things that I want to share.

Today I'm going to complain. I'm tired of lies. I'm tired of people pretending to be someone they are not. I'm tired of people pretending to care. I'm tired of people who only know you when you can do something for them. I'm tired of people that think they are better than others. I'm tired of people who think they can walk all over you. Do you know people like this ?? Aren't you tired too ??

I know I've been talking about trusting God. I know I've been telling you how awesome our God is. I know I've been sharing my day to day life with you - God is always there for me and He will provide. The thing is today I think that God is the only person we can trust completely and who we can rely on to keep His promises to us. He is the only one who wouldn't go back on His word.

Today I am shamelessly frustrated with all the people out there who think it is okay to use your employee, who thinks that just because we are employees we are stupid. We are not worth the effort. Who doesn't give their employees room to breath. Who think that we must work  overtime without any overtime payment, just because they say so and they are the boss. Who do they think they are ??

I will not bow to them. I was created by God. In His eyes we are all equal. Yes, they have power and money and I have to work for them for the moment but our God is the God of the unkown. Our God is a God of miracles. He can change your life in an instant. One day you can be the employee and the next day you can be the employer. Our God is a God who cares. He wants only the best for us. He loves us.

Today I am just sharing. I am patiently waiting on the Lord. I know Him, I trust Him, I believe , I am getting ready for whatever He has planned for me.

If you are feeling the same as me today - I really hope you that you can find the strenght too, to focus on our Provider - Jesus Christ, the Almighty.

PS !! If you are an employer, please don't feel offended. This is only for the employers that are guilty and if you are one of the few that is not-guilty. Let me the first to say - from all the employees out there, thank you.

It's weekend. Finally. My diamond for today will have to be the fact that it is weekend. It gives us time to reflect on everything that happened during the week and it also gives us time to plan the coming week.

For most of us - planning makes us feel safe. It makes us feel as if we are in control.

I'm just smiling. Are we in control ?? Does all the planning we do really help ?? I'm not saying don't plan anything but ..... Are the plans you have for  your life the same plans that God has for you ??

When you are planning the next week's schedule are you also planning for time to spend with God. Is God part of your busy schedule ?? Is God part of  your weekend ??

Where does He fit in ??

You know what ?? You don't need to have a time or a place to be with God. God must be part of every day, every second, every weekend, He needs to be in every decision you make.He needs to be with you, in you, part of your life - always.

You have to include God in everything you do !!

I'm not having a party this weekend and I don't have any plans to do anything, but whatever I'm doing, God will be with me. He is always on my mind. I'm positive that He will guide me. He will protect me.

I really hope that you can see the diamond I am seeing today. I really hope that you have an awesome weekend. Have fun, rest, go swimming, go surfing, go to a museum, go shopping, spoil someone special, visit a friend or just stay at home, but please where ever you are going make God part of it.

 Enjoy your diamond - because every diamond is a gift from God. A Gift from God to be sherished and polished and enjoyed as we are spending time with our Father. The One who loves us now and forever.




I'm bursting with happiness.

Let me see. Life. How is your life today ??

I know sometimes we are just thankful to be alive - to be surviving, but is it enough ?? NEVER NEVER EVER !!!!!

God knows what we need even before we ask Him.

As Christ is so are we in this world.

Do you need more proof ??

The only purpose we have in life is to represent Christ in this world. To be who He created us to be. Don't be confused. Don't let anyone feed you with lies. Don't even believe me if you don't want to - believe only God. His truth is the only  truth.

A life with God will lead to true happiness. Are you one of those people that has everything in this world - money, a big house, a big car, a great job, holidays in Spain or on some private island, chef's, housekeepers, expensive jewellery, designer clothes etc etc etc ?? My question for you today. Are you happy ?? How's life ??

I know it is sometimes difficult to admit to ourselves but will all of the above give us the peace we need to be truly happy ?? Is all of the above what God wanted us to be or is it just someone we created, using stuff, because we didn't know what God wanted for us to be. Sometimes I get so angry. I look at people living this high profile lives. How did they get there ?? Why can't I be the one on top ??

And then I realise - I am on top. I am happy. I'm living a life of obedience. I am exactly where God wants me to be and even if this means that I don't have all the worldly stuff, I have God. I don't always understand everything but He is keeping me safe and warm in the palm of His hand. He is holding me and He will never let me go.

Life - Thank you God for life !!! Thank you for reminding me, once again, that you are my Provider, that you are my Life !!!

Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
