The Perfect Fit; The Perfect Seat!

During the wee hours on Christmas Day, I came across a small little book where I bought 5 years ago "Here I am to worship" by Tim Hughes and I have to confess that this book was bought but not read; however 5 years later it "spoke" to me.

I was flipping through the pages of the book, checking out on the contents and why on earth did I buy without even reading it. While browsing, I came across this page where Tim Hughes wrote "I will never have the guitar skills of Eric Clapton or the voice of Bono, but that doesn't matter, since God delights in using me the way I-am the way He created me to be."

That kind of caught my attention because sometimes while soaked in a fast pacing world today, we can be easily disappointed by/with people and sometimes even with ourselves with self doubts like; "Why can't I be better off?" "If only I can be as smart as this/that person" "I wish I could have the talent that the other party is having.." and the lists goes on.

With the overwhelming effects of all these questions and self doubts, we tends to overlook that God delights in using us the way He created us to be.. we are all created in His image and uniquely created!

Each are giving a talent and a destiny, instead of doubting on what's given and trying to put on someone else's shoes; we can be ourselves and start building those gifts and talents that are given to us individually and in due season we will find a fitting place that is according to God's plan which will fit us perfectly... The Perfect Fit; The Perfect Seat!

Hope/s

I woke up every morning with a great sense of hope, believing that my day will be fruitful and fulfilling.

Yet there were the days I started my day with great hope but ended defeated, however there were also the days I ended my day with great victories!

Victories and defeats are part and parcel of life, whether we start our day with hope/s or without, they are there. And it's only a matter of "which day" that it happens.

When I start my day with a great sense of hope, there could be a possibility of me ending it victoriously. However if I were to start a day without any hope, I know I'm screwed for the day.

Conclusion:
Someone ever shared this with me; "Human can survive a day without food but not a second without hope!"

Leadership vs Relationship

Was having a conversation with a good friend of mine and he asked me a question pertaining to the leadership of romance of the three kingdom, and honestly that caught me thinking.

1. Why would the followers of Liu bei faithfully follow him despite knowing that he is pretty soft in his character?

2. Why would the followers of Cao Cao willing to die for him despite knowing that he is a crude and unscrupulous man?

3. Why would the followers of Sun Quan follow him knowing that he owns probably 50% (each) of the abilities of what Cao Cao and Liu Bei has?

Well.. my take would be; RELATIONSHIP PRECEDES KINGSHIP / LEADERSHIP.

Probably somewhere down the road, these leaders have influenced, loved and met the needs of their followers. Thus despite the flaws in them, the followers still love them and willing to lay down their lives for them.

Conclusion:
To build a kingdom is never about trying to drive an event or rule like a tyrant, but to humble ourselves and build that relationship with our followers.

Kingdoms comes and go but relationships stays!!

Spinach wrap and carrot juice...

Had spinach wrap with roasted chicken fillings and carrot juice for dinner @ a small little cold storage along Cuscaden Road. The wrap tasted yummy and "clean" as in not greasy... feeling healthy after taking it.. haha

What's wrong with imperfection?

Came across this statement while reading a book..

" Been imperfect is a sign of vitality,because it is a sign of growth
potential, and growth is the only sign in life! If we are green, we
are growing; if we are ripe, we are rotting. Perfect is ripe."

We're all imperfect people leaving in an imperfect world, and that's
the reason why the world and all human races are still growing where
everyday is an adventure, a day of learning and growing wiser
together!!
