One SIN that gets us all

Morning All

I remember sitting in Church and the pastor read from the bible and it stated
"There is one sin that beseeches us all"

I sat there thinking what could that be, I started racking my mind.
Could it be LUST? No because I know people who don't struggle with this sin
Maybe it is LOVE of Money? Nope because I know people who are not bothered about money at all
It got to be ANGER? Nah not that either because some people are so laid back they fall asleep before they had chance to get angry.

WHAT CAN IT BE? The answer is




That's right, the answer was doubt (Lack of Faith). At some point every person on the earth has struggled with this one.
DOUBTING - Am I with the right person in this relationship
DOUBTING - I don't deserve to get that pay-rise or promotion
DOUBTING - I'm not good enough to go through university
DOUBTING - The business idea I have will never work
What ever it is we have all had times when we have struggled with a LACK OF FAITH (Doubt)

I had mine this morning, I woke up same time but had this feeling of FEAR and DOUBT come over me, concerning the following

Can I raise the finances to live in Kenilworth and live in a home that I personally dream of
Can Gen-Hope become the social enterprise that goes on to be a blessing to young people in the UK
Can we reach our £211'000 qtr target in the Distribution business.

We all these doubts I did the one thing I knew personally I needed to do. GET ON MY KNEES AND PRAY. I never had alot to say I just wanted to hear from God about my situations.  Believe it all not God did speak and he told me to 'BELIEVE' and TRUST in him.

I came out of that time of pray and said you know what WHAT AM I FEARING. I will find a way to resolve any problems that stands in the way of achieving my goals. It might take hard work, it may take longer than I like but it will happen. I just need to continue to build my faith daily and not let DOUBT take a foot hold

On the journey to your goals you will face that enemy of DOUBT. Before you meet him have a plan how you will deal with it. My tool is PRAY what is your?

9 YEARS MARRIED

Good morning world

This morning I celebrate nine years of marriage, that right nine years of marriage little old me.

Want I wanted to share this morning to get to this point (nine years) has not been easy. Both me and my wife have had our share of problems, arguments, disagreements etc. We had those days we have upset and even hurt one another.

But we decided that we would not quit. When we took our vows it was for life for good and bad. Let me tell there has been days I am sure that my wife has thought what am I doing here. "I AM A LADY, GET ME OUT OF HERE" lol.

Bless her, she held in there and I can state that our marriage has gone from strength to strength, because I have had to learn to change and adapt, more importantly COMPROMISE. Both of us also had to learn to forgive when the other one messed up, we both also had to learn to say sorry. At times it feels like i say SORRY more than her (NOT COUNTING OR NOTHING) Lol

A big factor in achieving this milestone has been learning to appreciate one another for who we are and loving the fact that we are different and we handle things in a different ways at times and that's OK. We also had to learn to be in a partnership and seek out each other strength and roles and praise that. My wife is the carer of the home and the kids and she good at that. I was the bread winner and my role is to take care of the finances. It may have been the other way round that I was the home and kids carer and she was the bread winner, either way it doesn't matter we just learnt who did what best.

Final point I got to share is marriage is a LEARNING CURVE. I understand my wife more know than 11 years ago and I know I will understand her more in another 10 years. Every year you will learn more about that person but also I and my wife have gone to seminars and have marriage disciple to ensure we also learn how to build a great marriage.

So to every one out there starting out in dating my words of encouragement are "if me and my wife can do it, so can you"

Also I know that we live in a society that feels marriage is not important but trust me, marriage has been one of the best things to happen in my life that has allowed me to obtain the success I have so far. When you have someone who loves you, supports you and care for your needs, WHO CAN STOP YOU.

Bless people

Comfort or Thriving

Wow been a long time since I have written on my blog.

But good to be back.

Wanted to to share some important development that a lot of you might relate to.

In the distribution business I am apart of we had some really good success in the last two years even in the midst of all that has been going on in the economy.
In truth if the business stayed the same as it has been for the last two years then we are in a comfortable place (Comfort zone). But not sure if you are anything like me I was getting bored.
The reason being I felt like that I had exhausted my challenges and I was just through the motion, to the point I should do what I needed to be done with my eyes closed and without having to really engage my mind. I was also bored of speaking about last year successes

To some this might seem cool but I am of the mindset that if your not going forward your going backwards. No one person, or business standstill it is either moving forwards or backwards and I felt that if I didn't change something soon I and the business would begin to go backwards.
I remember reading Steve Jobs autobiography and he stated "If you don't cannibalism yourself some one will come and eat you instead". To give a example of what he meant was by creating the laptop it was eating at sales of the PC, creating the IPAD was eating sales of the laptop. What Steve understood if he didn't continue to move the business forward and stood still another company would eat them up.

Based on this I decided that we needed to launch a new division (NEW CHALLENGE / MOVING FORWARD). So I presented the idea to management and they agreed. We have just employed a new person who will begin with us in September to help the dream become a reality. BUT in the midst of this comes the FEAR. What if this fails and the idea does not work. The truth is if it does not work we would have to make people redundant which believe me having to do it in the past is not a nice feeling. Having that thought in the back of the mind for me makes me work harder to make it work and realise the dream of building a hugely successful and profitable (And enjoyable)

I will share more over the months how we get on. I can tell you know it will not be easy, but when it works it going to be amazing to look back and see what could be do.

So the question is 'are you in a comfort zone or thriving'?
