“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonder Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever”
JESUS!
About a month ago I decided I wanted a part time job. So I set out to find one. I thought the best place to start would be on my knees, asking God for one. I did exactly that.
The next step was to decide what I’d enjoy doing in my spare time. I came up with the answer that anything that involved God, people and books would be just perfect.
I emailed a few places and I was called into one place to bring my CV. The manager asked me to come in again the next week for an interview, but said that I should call to confirm with her before I came. So the day came and I called her but unfortunately she had bad news. After reviewing the company’s finances she decided that they could not afford to hire someone new. Total bummer!
A couple of days before this I had been reminded of a scripture in the gospel of Mark that says ‘whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it shall be yours’. Yes! I thought ‘you know what? This job is mine’. So I stopped asking God for a job and started thanking Him for my job. And you know what???….
Exactly a week later, Charlotte (the manager) called me and asked me to come see her. I went in the next day and she offered me a job!!! Whoop whoop! The best thing is I’m going to be working at CUM books, which is exactly what I wanted - God, people and books. God is so good!
It’s amazing what a little bit of faith can activate.

The decisions we make will either add or subtract from our walk with God. So make good decisions!
“So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?”
1 Kings 3:9
About 3 days ago I was walking home in the blazing hot sun. As I was walking along I was sort of chatting to God and in a joking manner prayed this exact prayer: “Dad could you please send forth my dad to save me from this heat” then I laughed and said “Thank you”. Less than 5 minutes later I heard a honk and my dad pulled up next to me.
You cannot ever tell me that God doesn’t answer prayers - even the silly ones!
What a God! :)
The first thing I’ve ever won and I had to give it away. I’m sure there’s a preach somewhere in that :’D #lessons #life
I really enjoy looking for opportunities to bless people. You simply cannot go wrong in sending out blessings!
“It is more blessed to give than to receive”
Acts 20:35
“I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.”
- KJV
“Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast…”
- KJV
Dear God,
The world is throwing me a million reasons why some things are not going to work out but I’m armed with one reason why it will - you are with me every single step of the way.
