Being a Mother - Who Trains and Teaches

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.     - Proverbs 22:6 This verse has comforted me many times when I have worried about my children.  I know that even though they sometimes make poor choices, I have trained them well when they were little and they will find the right path in life as a result.  Training a child means that you help them to develop their skills and discover their strengths and weaknesses.  Teaching children to make choices, suffer consequences to poor choices and to reap the rewards of a choice well made is a very important part of their training.  The worst thing you could do as a parent is to shelter them from all consequences and failures.  Failure is good and a necessary part of the learning process.  Allow your children to make mistakes and teach them what to do with their mistakes when they have made them.  Children who grow up fearing mistakes and consequences will struggle with things such as faith and ri

Emotional Gravity - Emotional Centre of Gravity

Centre of gravity is where all of the weight of an object is concentrated. This point can be inside the object or some point outside.  Mass is how we measure the amount of matter in something. The more massive something is, the more of a gravitational pull it exerts. As we walk we constantly feel the gravitational pull on and we automatically pull back. Earth is obviously much more massive than we are so the pull from us will not move the Earth.  However, the pull from the Earth is sufficient to move us.  In addition to the dependence on mass, gravity also depends on how far you are from something. This is why we are able to stay on Earth rather than be pulled in the direction of the Sun, which has much more gravity than the Earth. Although this scientific jargon may not make any sense to some of us, it is a fantastic starting point for our study of emotional gravity.    You see, we have an emotional centre of gravity in the same way that objects have a physical centre of gravity

Being a Lover - Who Understands

Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.  Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. - 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 The apostle Paul wrote these verses in Corinthian not as a commandment but as guidelines so that we could have a better understanding of our commitment to each as husband and wife.  Fully understanding what these verses mean could have a significant impact on our love life and help us to really enjoy our time together in this area.  Take time to understand the importance of giving your bodies to each other.       Before we get into what it is let’s first take a look at what this does not mean.

Being a Woman in Business - Who Starts Small and Dreams Big

Does anyone dare despise this day of small beginnings?                                   -  Zechariah 4:10 Big things usually have a small beginning.  Even the greatest Oak tree started as a tiny acorn and all great men and women started as little seeds in their mother’s womb.  No one or nothing started huge and it takes at least ten years to achieve an overnight success.  Small starts are essential and so are big dreams.  Here are some keys to great small beginnings: Be Faithful He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. - Luke 16:10 Integrity in business is essential and you can tell what sort of person you are very easily in the small things.  If you tell little white lies then you are likely to be capable of telling big lies too.  If you are comfortable with cheating on your tax return then you will also be comfortable stealing money from a client through over charging or under serving.
