UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Quote - 'You can't always get what you want' - Mick Jagger

You're going to love this;

We don't live in a perfect world.
Learn to live with imperfect situations, unresolved issues and unfulfilled expectations without losing your great spirit.
There's always something that isn't the way you want it.
Get happy in spite of this.
As you deal with it, stay happy, not upset.
If the unresolved problem gets you, then it's won.
Stay on top even when it's trying to get you down, and you'll win.
This is Christianity at its best.
Staying up in a down situation.
That's leadership.

Stepping out with you,
Phil Pringle

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. -Psalm 118:24

Indescribable -Chris Tomlin

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea

Creation's revealing Your majesty

From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring

Every creature unique in the song that it sings

All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.

You are amazing God

All powerful, untamable,

Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim

You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go

Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow

Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light

Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night

None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name

You are amazing God

All powerful, untamable,

Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim

You are amazing God

You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.

You are amazing God

All powerful, untamable,

Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim

You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.

You are amazing God

Incomparable, unchangeable

You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same

You are amazing God

You are amazing God

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. -Psalm 118:24

When Brandon sang this song during CG, it reminded me of my primary school days at a student care centre where I was taught this song...

Nothing is coincidental.

I am a child of God.

I am joyfully glad.

Jesus loves me!

This I know,

For the Bible tells me so.

Little ones to Him belong;

They are weak,

but He is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me!

The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me!

This I know,

As He loved so long ago,

Taking children on His knee,

Saying, “Let them come to Me.”

Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me still today,

Walking with me on my way,

Wanting as a friend to give

Light and love to all who live.

Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me!

He who died

Heaven’s gate to open wide;

He will wash away my sin,

Let His little child come in.

Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me!

He will stay

Close beside me all the way;

Thou hast bled and died for me,

I will henceforth live for Thee.

Yes, Jesus loves me!

The Bible tells me so.

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. -Psalm 118:24

You are what you preach.

You are what you act as.

In speech and in action.

Pass on your values as what you believed.

Change lives.

Impact.

Be true.

Motivation and Disappointments are tearing me apart.

Thank you God for letting me know that I'm not fighting the battle alone

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. -Psalm 118:24

"Never say die,

Always try!

Maybe someday you can fly!"

~Special credits to Laura

You are the one who set your own limits.

You set who you want to be...

Your values, your goals, your dreams...

Maybe someday you can fly!

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. -Psalm 118:24

What you speak determines who you are

If you say you can't do it, you won't do it.
If you say you're lousy/useless, you won't even try.
If you say today is a bad day, it will be as you only look at the bad things that happened.
If you say you're tired, you will be even if you're not.

Your words frame your mind.
The more negative things you confess about yourself, the more likely it will happen.
The more regularly you say it to yourself, the more likely it will happen.

Pray to God for an increase in positive vocabulary and wisdom to use the right ones.

Don't be bound by what you confess negatively.

Words can kill! Think before you speak.

You can use it to esteem yourself as well as others.

Why not?

Ecc 10:11-13 -A serpent may bite when it is not charmed; The babbler is no different. The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious, But the lips of a fool shall swallow him up; The words of his mouth begin with foolishness, And the end of his talk is raving madness.

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. -Psalm 118:24

Happiness keeps you sweet

Trials keeps you strong

Sorrows keeps you human

Failures keeps you humble

Success keeps you glowing

but only God keeps you GOING!

Proverbs 3:5,6- Lean on, trust in,and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. -Psalm 118:24

The Power of Acceptance
NOT another superhero show!

Hancock shows how one person can make a difference in another by trusting him.
To focus on the strengths and accept the weaknesses.

One's potential then can be unleashed and change for the better.

No matter who it is, we are not perfect.

It depends on how we choose to look at others, accept or criticize.

The decision we make will either esteem someone or put someone down.

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. -Psalm 118:24

Do we treasure our relationships as much?

Sometimes, we're so busy with our own lives that we forgot to care for our friends and family.

Do we say to them, "I miss you"?, "I love you?" or even give them a hug?

Amazingly, an animal like Christian showed how much he missed his human friends by hugging them.

What more about us?

Business is an excuse we give yourselves, don't you think so?

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. -Psalm 118:24

WELCOME TO HOLLAND
byEmily Perl Kingsley.

I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It's like this......

When you're going to have a baby, it's like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It's all very exciting.

After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, "Welcome to Holland."

"Holland?!?" you say. "What do you mean Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I'm supposed to be in Italy. All my life I've dreamed of going to Italy."
But there's been a change in the flight plan. They've landed in Holland and there you must stay.

The important thing is that they haven't taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It's just a different place.

So you must go out and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met.

It's just a different place. It's slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you've been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around.... and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills....and Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.

But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy... and they're all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say "Yes, that's where I was supposed to go. That's what I had planned."

And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away... because the loss of that dream is a very very significant loss.

But... if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn't get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things ... about Holland.

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. -Psalm 118:24
