#Friendship



Jeremiah 38: 22 NIV “All the women left in the palace of the king of Judah will be brought out to the officials of the king of Babylon.  Those women will say to you: “They misled you and overcame you – those trusted friends of yours. Your feet are sunk in the mud; your friends have deserted you.” 

My dad always reminded me that “birds of a feather flock together.” You are known by your friends.  The question I want to pose is “do you have good friends?” To climb the corporate ladder it is import to rub shoulders with the right people. You need people who have influence and so you want to be in their company.  

The skills managers actually lack and need are to my thinking, understanding people, being kind and friendly.  The problem with having too many friends is that it takes time and effort from both sides to keep the relationship going.

I know you are known by the company you keep as well as the company you shun. That is according to Charles Spurgeon. 

I believe it is better to be alone than to keep bad company. Life is too short to be in bad relationships.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help us discern and take a good look at the company we keep. Also help us to be kind and friendly and helpful in all circumstances. We never know whether we are dealing with Angels you sent down to come and see us at work with Your people.

Blessed and Holy are You LORD God Almighty, thank you for today and the friends we do have in the Name of Jesus Christ Amen.

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...
