God has a plan.. STOP controlling everything

 Two weeks ago I wrote a post about my bad week and my boss that still hasn't replied to my mail about my increase... BUT then something lovely happened.

I have been very disappointed about the fact that I work hard everyday and cover for different departments when need be, yet my manger has yet to reply to my mail about my salary.

I have vented to my boyfriend everyday and begged him for advice, I sound like a broken record.

Anyway.. on Wednesday I noticed that I had numerous missed calls from a strange number, and so I called back.

The lady on the other end said that she had been trying to reach me and that she had a lovely position available at a company. The salary is a lot more, with benefits and there is potential to earn commission.

She asked that I please come for an interview, which I did on Monday, and although I am on a waiting list. Its a new experience and my name is out there.

This whole situation just opened my eyes to the fact that God has a bigger, better, greater, way more wonderful plan than I can ever imagine.

There really is nothing that can stop his love for me, and although I do not always acknowledge it. He has a very vast plan and His Grace is everlasting.

I know I am undeserving of this grace, but I pray that everyday I can learn more and more about this marvelous love and passion He has for me.

 

I also need to learn to stop trying to control everything and TRUST GOD.

I am an absolute Tumbr addict and I love finding pictures.

A picture tells a story more detailed than most books can explain.

Therefore, I have decided to constantly share some of my favourites that I collect through out each week or so.

The day before friday

This has by far been the worst week ever... honestly.
To much trouble at work, lots of issues at home, fights, hassles, a sore stomach, a bug, and this morning I work up with blood all over my face from a very bad nose bleed.
I am supposed to be getting a raise this week and my boss is avoiding me at all costs.
I realised I have gained about 2kg since stopping my excercise for a little while.
And I have had enough.
Tomorrow is friday, and I am praying my week will end on a good note and not a crappy one.

Glorious Ruins

 

VERSE
When the mountains fall
And the tempest roars You are with me
When creation folds
Still my soul will soar on Your mercy

PRE-CHORUS
I'll walk through the fire
With my head lifted high
And my spirit revived in Your story
And I'll look to the cross
As my failure is lost
In the light of Your glorious grace

CHORUS
Let the ruins come to life
In the beauty of Your Name
Rising up from the ashes
God forever You reign

And my soul will find refuge
In the shadow of Your wings
I will love You forever
And forever I'll sing

VERSE
When the world caves in
Still my hope will cling to Your promise
Where my courage ends
Let my heart find strength in Your presence

Head, Shoulders, Knees, Knees, Knees... Toes

I chose this title mainly because after feeling very proud of myself for working my ass off for 2 weeks, I have a knee injury.

When I was fresh out of school I bought an old, piece of junk scooter.
It carried my then skinny ass to and from work, through rain, storms, and firey hot days.

One day stands out though.
It was raining "cats and dogs", insanely heavy rain, horrible stormy weather and I was travelling by scooter down Blouberg road on my way home.

My scooter slid out from under me and I landed knee first on the tar, with my scooter on top on me.
I had to ride with my buckled wheel and painful legs all the way home, on Koeberg road.

Anyway, back to the point.

Since that lovely day, I have had a knee that cramps when its cold and gets red and hot when I walk to far.

So...because of my dedication to wearing something skimpy this summer, I have bruised the inside of the joint without bumping,knocking or touching my knee.
I have a massive blue mark and I can barely bend my leg.

I am to stay off my leg and resume exercise after a week, DOCTORS ORDERS.

I am not very excited about this arrangement, I am VERY scared my laziness kicks in again.

I guess its up to the 2 liters of water per day and high protein to burn my fat for me.

1. 2. 3. GO



Today marks 2 weeks since my Boyfriend and I started our OFFICIAL eating clean/ excercising 6/7 days a week.

I must honestly say, its not that easy to get into a pattern of excercise and sore muscles, but its fantastic.

I have Zumba'd everyday for the past 2 weeks, so I can say I am a pro at shaking my hips by now.

When my dad was in the process of loosing 50kg, he bought a huge weight-lifting machine that works so well for arm excercises.

I am telling you, doing the job I do with sore arms... not so nice, but I am not stopping now.

Hopefully, I can continue the pattern I have developed and this time next year I am looking even better than before.
