'Acknowledge that the Lord is God. 
He made us, and we are his — his people, 
the sheep of his pasture. '

Psalms 100:3 CSB

Grace and peace to you from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wow, another week has started and I am delighted you can drop by. 

Welcome to my vault, hope you had a good weekend? For me?… I have enjoyed EURO football and most of all England won, amazing. I have promised myself not to cause myself a heart attack but enjoy the wins. To be honest it is hard because we can’t help it but be very joyful and over the top. Also hopeful. 

My highlight for the weekend was church service: we had two amazing ladies that got baptised. What an amazing journey for both and a privilege to be part of this journey.

The long journey has started and is still going on for all of us as we walk towards the throne room. 

To hear the words my good and faithful servant

As we continue the long journey which is a marathon. I have come to know that sometimes we slow down but never forget to listen to the Lord as He guides our footsteps. 

Sometimes the speed starts and 
I have come to know that we start to accelerate and 
the wind and gravity takes me to the bottom as
The waves come and crash but one thing is the focus. 

Be still and know that I am God 
What an amazing assurance in the walk or run
with our Lord

As I continue to watch the football and see how you need to be in a team to score the goal at the end.

You need someone defending the goal
You need a midfielder to create the chances to score
You need to have a striker to score the goal
You need to have a leader

Also we do get knock back but at the end of the day 
It is who wins that matters 
The team that plays together wins
The team that focus and score the goal wins 
therefore we make it our aim
Whether present or absent
To be well pleasing to Him
Because sometimes we rush ahead before the right time ALONE
That causes a loss of focus
It also makes us vulnerable to attack alone
Isolating at the front
And one thing to do is slow down

As in 1 Corinthians 5: 10-11

It is astounded to know that at the end we will need to give an account 

Good or bad all will appear before the judgement seat of Christ

Whatever role we play

As we are coming to the end of the football matches and grand final on Sunday 11 July 

Can’t get ahead of myself but wait and see who gets to the final 

So I walk into the open doors 
I gaze at the beauty of the Father 
I sit in the presence of the Lord 
Holy, Holy, Holy
Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come!

Praise the Lord!
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever

Thank you for stopping by it means a lot to me.

Pray you have a wonderful week 🙂
We cannot control what happens around us, 
but we can control our responses.
Be bless and know that the Lord loves you

And I also pray that this verse refreshes you this week: 
'However, 
I consider my life worth nothing to me; 
my only aim is to finish the race and 
complete the task the Lord Jesus has given 
me—the task of testifying to the 
good news of God’s grace. '
Acts 20:24 NIV
