Communication Principles (1) posted on May 24, 2010 - 3:08pm

“…Whatever is in your heart determines what you say.”‘ Matthew 12:34
The sign under a largemouth bass in a taxidermist’s window read: ‘If I’d just kept my mouth shut I wouldn’t be here!’ Jesus said, ‘”…Whatever is in your heart determines what you say.”‘ It actually sets the tone in your relationships. Seven percent of our communication is based on content, 38 percent on tone of voice, and 55 percent on nonverbal signals like your facial expression, how you sit and what you do with your hands. Author Mandy Houk says: ‘If you care little for [people's] feelings…it comes out in your speech…If we intentionally…fill our hearts with love and respect…it overflows into our speech.’ Solomon said, ‘A gentle answer deflects anger…harsh words make tempers flare’ (Proverbs 15:1 NLT).

this here has me somewhat emotional posted on May 18, 2010 - 10:50am

I had my car returned to me from the garage after sometime a couple of days ago… it was a bit wobbly but you know how I can be sometimes… choosing not to stress, telling myself that it would get better as it got accustomed to traversing the routes I’d come to call my path.
We suffered a flat tyre …no wait…my car’s tyre burst while on the high way yesterday, and He was civil about it, allowing me to steer him gently to the kerb, when he could have lost all stability and flung me from his seat, and who knows, flip a couple of times and wind up ontop of my unshielded unconsious self, who knows?! He’s back in the hospital
This morning on my way to work, I was involved in an accident with another motorist. Breathe…I was seated in the back seat.
The frequency with which these motor-related trips are occuring has me emploring you to say a wee prayer for me, when you can spare the time.
Thank you.

It’s the start of the week posted on May 17, 2010 - 12:14pm

And I’m in a happy-go-lucky type of mood, despite suffering a burst(not flat but burst) tyre on my way to work, and having slept little…I got up for a cup of water at 3:25am and didn’t go back into a sound sleep after that, as I kept tossing and turning. Couldn’t make head or tail of why mosquitoes wont buzz around my feet instead of my head…plus my temperature was ‘kick-the-covers-off-because-it’s-a- little-too hot-a night’
Anyway, glad to be back at work, not to say that I ever left I really am enjoying this monday.
Perfectionism

what’s the point? posted on May 14, 2010 - 10:56am

I catch myself asking out loud… Work feels like routine, I’m copying and pasting.
Family is okay, there’s moments when we fight, others when we’re cool with each other, and others when we just can’t be arsed…family is okay.
I have tried my hand at being someone’s girl a couple of times and that didn’t quit play out as I’d hoped…did I think it would keep me from asking what the point of this life was? There were times when I thought that was the whole point of life…meet someone amazing, love the life out of them and bless the lives of those around while you’re at it…
I’m thinking again…

… these last couple of days weren’t the same what with the silence from my friend and secret crush….he’s almost good to eat just saying.
So he saw me out on the town last night (got home late and was sounding rather husky on the show today, kinda liked the sound if  I say so myself) , and he sent a late night text message, which I paid no attention, considering I’d deleted his number from my cel after the silent treatment went on too long…
All was sad until he walked into the studio, and asked why I didn’t respond to his message….to which I broke out into a smile, and my lil heart lept with joy at the realisation that I have my friend back, yipee
We had lunch together too.
Anyway, on a serious note…

God’s Economics for Tough Times (4)
‘…Do not worry about tomorrow…’ Matthew 6:34
To prosper in tough times:
1) Resist greed. ‘”You shall not covet”‘ (Exodus 20:17 NIV). The drive to keep up with the Joneses enslaves us and stresses us out. Jesus identified the law of diminishing returns in coveting. ‘…Be on your guard against…greed …a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions’ (Luke 12:15 NIV). The bottom line is: your selfworth cannot be built on your net worth, especially in this economy. John says: ‘These…desires…to buy everything that appeals to you…are not from God’ (1John 2:16 TLB). Sharing, not owning things, brings lasting satisfaction and joy!

It will be a week in a couple of days posted on February 8, 2010 - 2:51pm

And I miss you still, not sure whether it is getting easier to get through the days without your presence…it helps that I can stare at pictures of you, and hear your voice when you call…
I’ll keep it together until I see you next,
hugs

I miss you posted on February 3, 2010 - 2:39pm

I dropped you at the airport yesterday, half-hoping you didn’t have to go so soon, I know you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do, which was why I didn’t shed a tear, you and I know how much I dislike ‘good byes’
I know you arrived safely…and it hits me how much I miss you. Which is why I am going to take the day off, to think through how I’m going to fill my time over the next couple of days, until I see you again,

Making Important Decisions
01 Feb 2010

‘The Lord directs the steps of the godly…’ Psalm 37:23

There are three considerations to bear in mind when making important decisions. 1) beware of ‘people pressure’. Facing 30,000 Philistine chariots, and Samuel the prophet not around to offer the required sacrifice to God ensuring their victory, King Saul decided to usurp the prophet’s office and offer his own sacrifice instead. When Samuel showed up a week later and demanded an explanation, Saul said, ‘The Philistines will now come down on me… I felt compelled…’ (1 Samuel 13:12 NKJV). He gave in to ‘people pressure’.
