OVERSEAS EDUCATION Vol. 5
Cassilda and I would like to thank the many people who have written back to share their affirmations for Overseas Education. Every point in our range of thoughts have been carefully selected from the finest moments of life and crafted to perfection. It is low in fad. No animals were tested in the process (just human lives) and no trees were sacrificed. Contains lessons learnt from mistakes and the occasional spelling errors.
Transformation guanteed!
Lately I realized-ed…
1. that gratitude, or more accurately, a grateful heart is like having one end of Velcro attached. Without it, even if God sends the best things our way, the best friends and the best advise for our lives, they will all fall off; nothing will stick. Gratitude is the proper texture of the heart that allows us to experience the grace and beauty of this world, people and God.
2. that if a Man's defining question is "Do I Have What it Takes?", then a woman's defining question is "Do I have a beauty worthy to be persued?"
3. that if I live to the average life-span (75 years), I have only 2600 Saturdays left to live. (we calculated!) Boy am I going to live them well.
4. That we have too much time to do things like counting how many more Saturdays we have left to live."Teach us to number our days alright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:12
5. that God is not into visitations but invasions.
6. that I can live one month on one word of encouragement.
7. that everyone needs encouragement, and everyone is called to be an encourager. You don't need to pray about it before encouraging someone, and you don't need to wait till a person is down and out before giving a word of encouragement.
8. that to encourage someone is to stir up courage in someone with the intent of lessening one's fear.
9. That I no longer want to settle for living a successful life, I want to live a life of Significance. Success lives life for one's self. Significance gives it away for others.
10. That today I may only be making decisions of little weight, but how I make those decisions will be the very same methods I'll use in my greatest moments of decisions.
11. That one person can go to a Hillsong CD recording event, see the effort and money put in and say, "They are so showy and so performance driven". Another can see the same thing and say, "Look how they go to lengths to honor God". It amazes me how, for some strange reason in the church, we associate sincerity with cheapness. Yet, we when we receive a cheap gift for our birthday, it's a different story.
12. That Darlene Zscheh started out at Hillsong making sandwiches and dubbing tapes for sermons. "Do not despise the days of small beginning"
13. that we miss food back home.
