Good day Black Creek Church family, 

 

In the last 2 weeks I have been involved in rounding up the loose ends for a year long project.

Interesting how even though the project has taken over a year, suddenly it must be finished in a few days. 

 

I felt the impact. 

It was implied that some of my careful work was 'stupid....' 

 

Hmmm 

 

When things like that happen, I start running scripts in my brain about how to give them a 'piece of my mind'...  (like I have extra to give away )

Let them know how offended I am...

Maybe entertaining extremes...  like quitting.

 

WHAT??? 

 

Where is my reseilancy?

Where is my reference point?

Who is really controlling my emotional state...?

 

As one commercial about people doing inappropriate things always finished off....

'Have a word with yourself (Peter)'. 

 

 Sunday March 9th will be a Girls Everywhere Meeting their Saviour (GEMS) Sunday.  Waffles and fun to follow.

 

 Sunday, March 16th at 7 PM will be our Annual General Meeting.  All are welcome

 

 Pray with me for those in difficulty.  I hold up Gordon, Xin and Louis as they begin the long journey of bone marrow transplant for Louis in the coming weeks.

 

Proverbs speaks to some of my thoughts and attitudes

 12:14    From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things 

as surely as the work of his hands rewards him.

15    The way of a fool seems right to him, 

but a wise man listens to advice.
16    A fool shows his annoyance at once, 

but a prudent man overlooks an insult.

18    Reckless words pierce like a sword, 

but the tongue of the wise brings healing.  NIV

 

Thank you Jesus, for helping me NOT find the right moment to speak.

Thank you, that my value is in how you see me

and not in the approval of others

 

Blessings as you walk into the challenges of the week.

Jesus is with you.

His Spirit will guide you.

And help you take a deep breath when you have a moment like mine...
