The Art Of Communication
Communication seems to be so complicated at times. Everybody want to get their point across the way they want to get it across. The problem is this, everyone doen’t have the same communication style. Some of us come from different backgrounds and even from different generations. It is so important that we are clear as to what we are trying to get across instead of assuming that the message is clear. For example, if I were to say the word “fox”, I’m I referring to the animal, a good looking woman as it was during the 70’s, our a vehicle that was once called a fox? “Hey man, did you see that fox?” Which fox am I referring to? Clarity is so important today when so many people are already confused about their lives and what they should be doing with it. So, lets make sure that we are crystal clear and not assume that people understand what we mean, especially when we are talking with our children.

Today Revisited
What about today, someone asked me. Well, today is a good time to get it right. Often it takes many attempts to get any particular thing right. That is why it is important to get started today. No time to waste because today represents a moment in time of our life that we will never get back.

Restore
Years ago my daughter who was about nine years old walked out of my life because her mother could not deal with the fact that I had moved on. My daughter became a tool used against me to control me and to destroy the new relationship I was in. I had gotten married and every time my daughter went home it turned into a war. The bottom line was this, as long as I jumped when my daughters mom said jump, then she would not make things difficult when it came time for me to see my daughter. Of course it did not go over well with my wife for me to allow myself to be controlled by another woman. My relationship with my daughter was placed on hold because I was not about to allow her to be caught in the middle, and I hated watching her mom use her as a tool to control my life and destroy my marriage. My daughter is still angry with me today for backing off, but in time God will restore our relationship. Let me encourage any of you that have given up on an important relationship. God knows that situation, and if we will allow Him, He will bring it back to us.

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee,
Full Time Baby
Rest in this my friends. God is on His job full time. Even when we are sleeping, God is not. When we are away from our love ones, God is not. When we pray, He is available at any hour of the day or night. He is there for us on a full time bases.

Stay The Course
Are you on the right path for your life? Are the steps you taking today leading you in the right direction? How can we know for sure that we are headed down the right path? Pay attention to that inner witness that we all have. There are moments when we may not know for sure that we are going in the right direction, but as on any journey we always come to a point when we know this right, or this is wrong. Tak notice, that I did not say feel rifgt or feel wrong, I used the word know. When we get to a point that we know we are moving in the right direction, then we must stay the course, no matter what we feel.

Scripture Reference:
Psalms 37:23a
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord:
Keep Your Head Up
When we allow ourselves to walk with our heads down. We are allowing the situation to defeat us. When this happens, our dreams are in jeopardy of being aborted. We must get our heads up so we can see where we are going and what’s coming our way.

Make The Pledge
Today lets keep it simple. Many times it is just one word that drives the matter home. Make the pledge to follow through with the changes you have committed to making this year. This is the time of year when people begin to drift back into their old behaviors from the previous year after vowing that things are going to be different. Make the pledge and stick with it.

Today, Not Tomorrow
Today, you have the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. Don’t let the opportunity pass you by. Someone needs the gift of caring and recognition that you hold in your hand. Give it and watch God use it to encourage someone past their thoughts of insigniciance .

In my mind, I didnt matter until you said hello.
You Are Special
Do you know how special you are? Many of us, myself included have those moments when we don’t feel good about who we are. Some of us suffer from this daily. I mean, it is a constant foreboding that we just can’t seem to shake. We look at all the wrong things to determine our value. Things like am I smart enough, pretty enough, tall enough, small enough, or wealthy enough; the list goes on. God says that we are fearfully and wonderfully made and that we are the apple of His eye. It doesn’t matter who our parents are, what our financial status is, where we live, or our educational level. God loves us. Its is simple, people are all basically the same when it comes to most issue about life. They want to know that they matter. Let me tell you, you do matter and you are very special.
