Have no anxiety about anything,
but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving
let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God,
which passes all understanding,
will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6,7
Taking our mind captive … Intentionally focusing … Initially it might require discipline.
An activity I used to do, and which I periodically return to, is to make a daily list of at least 20 things to be thankful for. It really does help… Check out this message at the 37th minute on the recent Skyline Online Sunday Service.
Today’s thanks then… Freshly picked home-grown mint.
Just a sprig… a few leaves in hot water… makes a welcoming drink any time of the day.
Great way to start and end a day.
A simple post in overcoming anxiety.
Thankful!
The virus has come to my nation, spreading itself speedily. To try and slow down the spread, a fortnight of restricted movement has begun. 
At the start of these two weeks, I am reminded to live (walk) in the midst of our abodes (within my house) with simplicity, uprightness, integrity, and from the inside out. That our conduct shown in our emotions, passions, is that of courage and boldness (perfect heart)
Start as we mean to continue, and number our days well.
There is a saying:- Dont despite the days of small beginnings…. Taken from Zechariah 4:10, and a little out of context, this is a symbol of some small beginnings….
Me covering my face after a workout because … who looks good after a workout unless they have a team of make up artists and a camera rolling???
Just started going to a fitness and conditioning centre. I’ve been having such a sedentary life that I have got very unfit and flabby. To the point that I am so very tired so very easily.
I decided to finally do something about it when my son and friends opened this centre, next door to his physiotherapy centre. What a fantastic combination. Off I go then…
More posts to come as I (hopefully) make progress.
So…. This then is my debut. I’ve been on stage before – during my school days, and if I recall right, twice during short performances at church services. This however was different. Together with a small cast, I was coached by a professional, and it took months.
I can’t say I didnt enjoy it. I used to struggle a lot with being the focus of attention. Handicapped me. Hindered me. I have healed and grown much since. Hence this debut. Enjoyed working with the team. I learned a lot.
Guess what? There might be a reprise, and this time at a Black Box. Wow…. Stay tuned.
Creating awareness is half the battle?
Understand that we can help?
Don’t be a passive observer?
Make a difference even in one life?
I was at a high tea. Nice sit-down event. Lovely decor with live flowers, in a five-star hotel. Lovely setting to be introduced to an ugly topic.
Human trafficking. Slavery. The statistics are staggering. The images are riveting. The problems are frightening.
There are more slaves today than any other time in history.
And it’s happening even at our doorstep. We can’t ignore them anymore. We can’t claim ignorance anymore. Some of us even treat our household helpers in the same way. The shock on the faces of some is evident.
Now the need to act and not merely talk…?
