It’s interesting that the last thing Jesus said on the cross was “it is finished.” It certainly looked like the end. It looked like it was over. But I believe that wasn’t just a statement of fact; it was a statement of faith. He was saying to His Father, “I’ve done My part. I’ve fulfilled My destiny. Now I’ve got total trust and confidence in You that You are going to finish what You started.” Even though it looked like the end, in reality, it was only the beginning.

When it looks dark in your own life and things aren’t going your way, dare to make that declaration of faith just like Jesus. “It is finished.” What you’re really saying is “God, I know You are going to turn this situation around. I know You are going to heal my body. I know You are going to restore my family. I know You are going to give me the breaks that I need.” Don’t go around complaining. Speak victory over your circumstances. Trust that He is faithful and that He will complete what He’s started in you!

Only God can turn...

a mess into a message,

a test into a testimony,

a trial into a triumph,

a victim into a victory,

HE is worthy to be praised.

Nowadays people give the middle finger quite quickly - it's not the best behavior.

Everybody does that, what's new about that? It's just become a bad habit.

People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women.

I'm very independent.

I rely myself a lot to the point that I sometimes forget that 

I have good friends who can help or just listen.

You know, I quite enjoy my job. It may not be a status career that entails building bridges, leading thousands, or earning millions. But my coworkers are great, our clientele are friendly... Well, most of them, I should say. And today I wasn't so lucky in dealing with said clientele....

A man walked in requesting that we put an item on hold for him at another location as ours didn't have his size. I gladly fulfilled his request and in what I thought would be the end of the situation... Turned out to be less than good meaning.

He explained to me that last time he had put the item on hold at another location, he realized by the time he could pick it up, it was no longer eligible for the limited time offer. Easy to understand, right? This man (who, by the way, had a hideous East Indian accent, strange pungent smell, and poor manners) thought it was so unfortunate on his terms that he had to express it in such a loud voice. Like really? He was rather persistent about it and even my poor little "I understand sir" wasn't enough for him to stop screaming/talking.

Clients were looking at him with rather abhorrent eyes as if to say, "WHY in the world are you yelling?". All throughout my face was turning purple and I was embarrassed that it was ME who was having to deal with it. My supervisor even asked me afterwards, and told me not to worry about people like him. Seeing as it wouldn't be the first time we've had to deal with those kinds. Still: how unruly can peolpe be!

If I had the chance to say a few things to this man....

Dear Sir,

This is a warm environment in which we happily welcome and regard all of our clients. However we strongly find it disrespectful and barbaric of you to walk in, raise your voice unnecessarily with needless intentions. We understand your past experiences left you dissatisfied. However, there is a much more tactful way in seeking resolution to your problems. It’s rather simple. Failing to comply, much less adhere to more CIVIL conduct will result in your immediate removal from the area through security staff.

Sincerely,

Everyone.

No matter how plain and simple you are, 

there's someone who will look at you as if you're the most perfect person ever.
