Versatile & Stylish Blogger Describes Me

His Darlyn gave me this award. I am so excited. This is a first on blogspot for me. Thank you, His Darlyn.
I have to fulfil these rules:
-Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them in your post.
(check above)

- Tell 7 things about myself
1. God loves me. I love him. Sometimes I seem to forget Him, but He is there. I am constantly reminded about it and I thank God for that.
2. Like His Darlyn, I am an avid reader. I read anything that I find interesting, no matter the subject matter. I am always looking out for clever, hilarious inscriptions on t-shirts.
3. I like the creative arts; performance art etc, I will enjoy it and thank God for it.
4. I don't mind being the centre of attention if that is what I am aiming for, but if I find myself the centre of people's attention, I make the most of it and somehow I seem to make sense to them.
5. I love all sorts of music; particular beats and rhythms get to me and this applies to voices too. The Sound of Music is my all-time favourite movie, okay, make that anything with music in it; because I love Annie, High School Musical (forget the plot, enjoy the music and choreography), chocolates, and nature.
6. I am a collector of voices, intelligence and people who have some thing that is perculiar to them; the way they smile, hold their head, the shape of the lips, a way of walking etc.
7. I believe my life and character bear testimony to God's work in me. I let my life be a witness of God before my words come out.

Training is Over!

I really don't have any excuse for not posting on this blog for so long. I beg your forgiveness. Thank you.

2011, what's up?

After four whole months of training (remember in this post, I wrote about getting a new job and my fears and expectations.), yesterday, 21st January 2011, was the last day at the training centre. My colleagues were awesome, of course the usual skirmishes that comes with meeting new people with different personalities came up; I think I am getting better with not being withdrawn, though in the end it seemed I pulled it off a bit too well because when I became quiet, one colleague thought I was becoming withdrawn. Ah, four months of learning economics, finance, accounting, adding to my knowledge on information technology, interacting in hereto unaccessible environments, I am as ready as I can be to get to my department on Monday, 24th January 2011. I leave the rest to God.

Hey, if you are a Christian, does it mean you don't ever get angry and if you do, should you smile and pretend everything is all right?, most especially if the person you are angry at is someone you are close to?

God, most things are going on so well in my life that I am afraid something bad is going to happen to take it all away to create a balance with all the bad things that are going wrong in the world. It is crazy I know, but sometimes that is how I feel; if it too good to be true, it probably is, then I become apprehensive. You have given me the choice of life and death(Deuteronomy 30:19), I choose life.

"Don't love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, "I will never fail you. I will never abandon you." So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me" " Hebrews 13:5-6 (New Living Translation)


Prayer: Lord, Father, keep me true. Help me overcome my doubts and fears. Create a right spirit within me. Let my life be an example for others to thirst to know you. I am glad to know you as my Friend and Father. I get angry sometimes and wonder and cry, but you, Lord, give me hope. The darkness cannot overwhelm me. Let your love fill me day by day that I will give to it to others. Thank you Father. Amen
