There is so much to learn about coordinating an event. We recently had a one day women’s event called “Delight” and wanted to share what we learned through the journey and provide any resources others could use as well. Feel free to comment or ask any questions because as I mentioned, we’re all in this together.
We have all probably heard the saying “Say what you mean and mean what you say.” Saying what you mean is being consistent with your thoughts and words. But what does it mean to “mean what you say”? Well, it means actually doing what you say. It’s being consistent with your words and then your subsequent behavior and actions. So many of us stop at the saying part but it’s the doing that makes all the difference. The credibility and integrity of your leadership depends on it.
This past weekend, our family had an opportunity to visit the music center in Los Angeles and while we were there, we decided to catch a matinee showing of the classic “The Sound of Music.” We had seen the iconic movie with Julie Andrews and sang along to the memorable songs so we were looking forward to seeing this musical.
There is a difference between preaching and counseling. However, sometimes in the midst of counseling someone, it’s difficult not to be preachy because some of us are wired that way. Our bias towards action compels us to dispense solutions and fix problems, rather than to simply be an attentive listener and provide some counsel.
Counseling is not something they teach you in seminary. At least not when I was attending. Perhaps these are courses that will be helpful for future pastors working in the churches. We are dealing with more mental, emotional and spiritual issues in our ministries and it will benefit us all if we were prepared to respond thru proper training and equipping.
This is my favorite productivity app right now. I’ve tried several other to do lists like OmniFocus, Things, Todoist, but SwipesApp is the most simple tool on my phone that I actually use on a daily basis. Here are my 5 reasons why I love SwipesApp.
1. It’s SIMPLE to use
2. SWIPING is fun
3. SCHEDULING to another day/time helps you take the clutter out of your mind
4. TAG to label
5. Sync from phone to computer
