The last week has been so very busy and yesterday after a 10 hour working day, I was exhausted. I needed another day almost like Tuesday. I stepped off planet Helga for a day and now feel I have fully recovered. It was altogether the right thing to do and it was a pleasure to be able to do it.

When I got home yesterday around 3pm, I hadn’t eaten since 5-30am. Mike made a late lunch/early dinner. I ate, showered and literally was ready for bed. My brain was fuzz. My body was so tired. I made it a ‘no blog’ day and climbed into bed. I just knew I needed rest, so I also cancelled my gym session for this morning and just had a day with no time pressures.
This morning, Mike treated me to breakfast in bed and I stayed there until about 9am. Then I got up, got dressed and caught up with work emails which had succeeded in piling up.
I actually did 5 hours of work today and have a bit more to do, but it was not stressful, nor tiring and included several breaks.
Mike & I went to Clovelly Golf Course and watched a couple of the young amateurs playing at the national championships which are being held there this wee. We followed rising star, 17 year old Luca Filippi from Milnerton Golf Club around and experienced the stress of the competition with his Mom. He won and so goes forward to the final 16 tomorrow. I think Mike may want to go and watch him play tomorrow. It’s always fun to find a player to follow and see how they get along. Today Luca proved the winning is in the putting. He putted brilliantly and sank a few long putts to seal the win on the 18th.
So now I am back on track and am feeling refreshed.
Today is the day of the year that I read Joshua 22:22. It’s the story of a misunderstanding that nearly led to a war. In defending themselves after being accused of idolatry, Reuben, Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh, earnestly declared,
“The mighty One, God the Lord! The mighty One, God the Lord! He knows!”
Referring to God knowing their hearts, they proclaimed their innocence to an unfounded accusation.
God knows our hearts. When we are wrongfully accused, or unfairly judged, let these words be the words of our heart, The mighty One, God the Lord! He knows!
He knows your heart and He knows mine. If our hearts are right before Him, we need not be afraid of what others say. We know that God knows our heart.
That always bring me great comfort and joy!
These are the days!
Keep the smile going.
God bless you!
In His Grip,
Helga xx 🙂
