From the first waking minute of the day. There  is a battle going on around us and in us . From my own personal experiences...the most intense time of this battle is, that first moment in the  morning when my eyes open to the light of a brand new day. I have learnt  in how my  attitude is at the beginning of my day ...usually determines how the rest of my  day pans out.  Ideally, I would love to get up and pick up my bible and go straight into the Word of  God ...Whallah! There is a fussing and rustling here and there.... for me; my body many times..not feels like a crumpled shirt picked  up from the side of the bed and in need of a firm shake to un-crumple and align myself for the day.  Yep, that's me. It's happening quite often lately, ever since I past that 50 mark.  A strong dark cuppa Nescafe, no sugar ~ once upon a time, I loved my dunks of sugar in my coffee or tea. Now, I find. Well...body feels its bloaty afterwards....

Years ago when I was quite religious and young and learning in  the Faith of Christ.  Like a wild animal caught and having to be tamed and trained.  Egypt was inside. My mind was wild, unruly.  At the time, a single parent with three young children who were close in years. Struggling to support them and stay on the  path that GOD had put me on. It was't easy.  I saw many fellow single parents struggle in the same way as myself trying to make ends meet with the minimal allowance allotted to us by the state. I can't remember how much it was, but it wasn't enough to have the high life  thats for sure. It was enough to put some food on the table. Second hand clothing, the odd cheap bargain from one of the indian bazaars. You really had to juggle the pennies and stretch a pound  note as far as you could. Like a rubber band tauting as far as it could go. t The no name brands were my best friends. Second hand stores were a commo...

Destroy a man's faith,  You've destroyed his hope Destroy his hope.  He has lost his love. No love. No will to live. He loses vision, he loses heart. He dies. He is lost. Guard your heart and guard that which the Lord has entrusted in to you until the day of His coming. Stand firm and hold fast Do not let go of faith in God For by this, we please Him For the just shall live by faith. We must press on by faith and endure through to the end. Then our heavenly crown reward awaits. It will all be worth it to hear Well done thou good and faithful servant. Enter in... Joy awaits. Eternity is not far off.
