My Guardian Angel - "dedicated to Marinda"

Do you believe in Guardian Angels - 

We all have our own views regarding a Guardian Angel, some believe, some not. At the end,  it's your choice and view, and have to be respected.

I, however, do believe that we all have a Guardian Angel that protects you, love you, be there for you, here on earth or in heaven!

I have a personal guardian angel on earth, and her name is Marinda! - When you reflect on your life so far, you can probably think of moments when someone was watching over you all the time, and encouragement that came to you just at the right time. 

When thinking about it, I can relate to so many times, when I was down, depressed,  even when I was very happy, and suddenly a phone call and it's Marinda, saying, "I was just thinking of you - are you OK" !. 

When I went through difficulties at work, short of money, then suddenly a phone call from Marinda, asking, "don't you want to come and spend the weekend with me"?. - just to been spoiled with such love and at the end of the day, an envelope with money in, just to say. "it's not from me, but from God. He gave me the opportunity to give it to you". 

- so why don't Angels also comes in "human form" to watch over you!

So whether you believe in them, or not, or whether you want one, or not, believers insist that you do have a Guardian Angel. 

I am sharing this as a gratitude to my Guardian Angel, Marinda - as I believe that each of us is cared for and that God has personally assigned an Angel to accompany us for your entire earthly lifetime.

You just have to open your eyes and ears, accept and believe, that they are there for you.

In Exodus 32:34 - God tells Moses, "Therefore now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you; behold, my Angel shall go before you".

My prayer - "Thank you Heavenly Father,  for special people like Marinda, in my life, that you have assigned to me, to guard me, protect me and always be there when I needed a Guardian Angel". 

Bless her!

Amen!

Burnout

Lord, You know how full my program is at the end of the year. Help me to scale down, to get someone to help me and not to do things that are unnecessary,

When we are tired, worn out and have too many responsibilities we become depressed very easily.

Don't try to handle everthing by yourself, get people to help you.

We often hear about people who have nervous breakdowns because of their impossible workloads. Every year, at the beginning of November, we feel that we reached breaking point.

Take a step back from all your work, examine whether you have unrealistic expectations of yourself.

Do the things that Gods asks us to do and use your talents in His service and to His honor, and burnout will be a thing of the past forever. (Exodus 18:20-23)

"Carol Travilla lists five unrealistic expectations that can contribute to burn out"

• There should not be any limits to what I can do;
• I have the capacity to help everyone;
• I am the only person availabe to help;
• I never make a mistake;
• I have the ability to change another person.

Lord, I recognize myself so clearly in the above list. Forgive me for being such a perfectionist and thinking that I can manage everything myself. Make me calm and content to just do my best and learn me how to say No.
