Inevitable, Mr. Anderson (The Power of Right Leadership)

Hello everyone!

It's Friday again & I hope that you have had a good week.

I can't complain really because, despite the challenges that I am facing, realising that Christ has already placed within me all that I need to achieve everything that He is calling me to, helps me to see that other people's opinions of what I do pale to insignificance.

The reality is that as long as you hold yourself responsible for what you say & what you do then how other people take it is not up to you; it is down to them.

Today, I want to make a quick mention about my situation as it's high time I started preparing to tell a certain person how I am feeling about her...

Holding the Line (Shock, Drop & Awe)

Hey!

Man, this is some sucky weather we're having in the UK right now, especially as Storm Doris has definitely arrived!

I said I wasn't going to go to Life Group last time, didn't I? Well I'm glad I changed my mind!

Again, the reasons will not be on here, but let's just say it helped remind me why I'm doing what I'm doing, why I'm staying connected on social media...

Further Down the Rabbit Hole

Hello everyone!

Do you ever have one of those days where you just know it's gonna suck?

Don't worry, this is not a negative post, it's just an observation I got when I go up this morning.

First I awoke at 7:49am & thought "damn, that's way too early to be awake". Secondly, I got a call about a job that might've been worth a crack had it not been in friggin' Leeds (ED - for disclaimer reasons he's not having a dig at Leeds, just that he's no way to get there at the minute so that job's a complete bust to him.)! >:-(

Then, when I was getting dressed to go meet up with my mum in town, I found myself looking for my pants...

Off the Scale #1 - Allegri's Miserere

Hello everyone!

I trust you are all doing well this fine and, um, rainy Tuesday evening.

I've jumped the gun with this one because my editor & I have not had the chance to arrange our meeting to discuss the future of this blog yet.

To start off my series I'm going to be calling "Off the Scale", I've gone for what is probably one of my favourite choral pieces of classical music; Allegri's Miserere sung by none other than the King's College Choir of Cambridge...

Sometimes to Dismantle, You Have to Go Deeper Down

HA!

My last post might possibly be the best one that I have written yet!

All I am trying to do is to keep pushing, keep praying & keep watching God do phenomenal acts of breakthrough like He has been doing lately.

To get to a stage where I can readily admit that I am indeed ready to put my crush down once and for all shows me that never again will it take up space in the throne room that is my life.

I'm not saying I am going to, just that what happens next is 100% in God's hands now as I'm more intent on seeking Him than ever before as a priority...

Be Lifted High (Or How to Dismantle Yourself Like an Atomic Bomb)

Hey everyone!

I'm certainly hitting a groove, aren't I, with these posts?

You know what? I don't care, especially as I'm in that good a mood!

I know you're all wondering why, especially with my obsession with posting update after update on my crush, so I'm going to tell you...

Catching the Updraft (Further Steps to Beating the Depressive)

Hey everyone!

It's weekend, so I hope that you are all making the most of it!

Earlier this morning, I posted quite a breakthrough article that just popped into my head as I wanted to pass on the tips that I've discovered in my own journey to beating depression.

Today I wanted to, not follow it up per se, but to post some further thoughts on what I posted recently about catching the updraft...

Steps to Beating the Depressive

Hey everyone!

It's the early hours of Saturday morning & I am feeling absolutely freakin' fantastic!

Why? Simple.

Having been reading Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer this week, I have started to realise that a lot of my problems with depression have indeed been coming down to wrong thought patterns.

Naturally, once they turn up you are left with a choice and in this post I'm going to let you know what that choice is...

Talk About a Boomstick!

Hello everyone!

This is a post I've just thrown together as I've just got off the phone to my BFF, Peter, after spending some time talking about last night's Belonging at church. Talk about a powerful evening.

Apparently, I was around five seats and two rows away from a certain person too! :-P

But what I'm focusing on now is the impact that last night had on me...

Even a Broken Pot Has its Uses (Or Borne in Identity)

Hello everyone!

It's a surprise to be writing this so soon after the last one, but then the last post was an impromptu one that I never anticipated.

Today, I want to take a quick look at identity & how it can shape us for the better or for the worse.

Before I do that, I want you to be thinking about what it means for you to have an identity...
