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

A Little Give and Take
08 Feb 2010

‘…giving preference to one another.’ Romans 12:10

Before discussing what healthy compromise is, let’s be clear about what it’s not. It’s not giving up what you believe, or who you are, or accepting second best because you’re impatient or afraid of criticism. Healthy compromise is about learning to negotiate a win-win situation for both sides. It’s tempting to dismiss somebody as being wrong and see only your own viewpoint. That’s when it’s crucial to relinquish your pride, step outside of the role you’re playing, try to become the other person and ask yourself, ‘Can I see their point of view? Can I appreciate why they might feel as they do?

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,

Are you ready for more of God’s wonderful promises?

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’. Samuel said to Saul, ‘You have done foolishly… now your kingdom shall not continue…’ (1 Samuel 13:13-14 NKJV). God’s will must be done God’s way, so wait for His instructions and don’t rush ahead of Him. 2) make sure the timing is right. God says,’…I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it…’ (Revelation 3:8 NKJV).

I had a word with Mom and she feels 18th is too soon, plus she’d like to have a hand in organizing it. She proposes we postpone.
I have a better idea, there’s a place up the road towards Muyenga called Fuego where we could sit and still have our get together,

I’m not sure I know where I am anymore posted on November 24, 2009 - 11:44am

It has been a long time, I know. And I wish I could say I had mapped out the perfect layout for the next couple of years…
Word’s made its way my way about me being a difficult person to work with , and for some unsettling reason, I am bothered that anyone would think that of me.
Mother and I have not been talking for the longest time, she believes I hate her with every fibre in me. Truth be told, I don’t agree with her methods, the intimidation (read psychological/emotional), the choice of words she throws at me in her moments of rage/disappointment, and her incessant questionnaires about what I use my money for. My way of dealing with the drama is to get away from the situation and site of the engagement and take a walk/drive/drink/smoke/get-away.
I have thought about moving out, however in times past it was just so I could prove a point to other people. I have been thinking about it lately however this time around, should I move out, I want it to be for me.

…waking up with a start posted on October 22, 2009 - 3:44pm

I showed up for this stag party last night, and something peculiar about the whole event jumped out at me. The mugole(guy) shared a name with a long time buddy of mine, but I shrugged it off, why? Because my buddy would have said something to me, that he was getting married and gone on to invite me to his stag party.
Scene 2
I walk into the lounge and to my subtle shock and pleasure all in one, there is my long time buddy.

The call to love (1)
‘Live a life of love.’ Ephesians 5:2
When we take stock of our day-to-day actions there’s often a big gap between what we say we value, and how we spend our time, money and energy. Couples spend four times as much time watching television as they do talking to each other. Parents spend an average of four hours a day watching TV, one hour shopping, and six minutes playing with their children. And with each day lost, the gap widens. In the movie City Slickers, actor and comedian Billy Crystal stands before the children in his son’s school class and decides to teach them a lesson they are perhaps not ready to learn: ‘Value this time in your life, kids, because this is the time in your life when you still have choices, and it goes by so quickly.
