Parents Luncheon

Thank you parents for trusting YouthImpact. 

WE APPRECIATE YOU!

unashamed

I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. 

The decision has been made. I am a disciple of His and I won't look back, let up , slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed. My present make sense. My future is secure. I'm done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colourless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, or rewarded. I lived by faith, lean on HIs presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer and labour by power.

My face is set. My gate is fast. My goal is heaven. My road may be narrow, my way rough, my companions few, but my guide is reliable and my mission is clear. i will not be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed.

I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice or hesitate in the presence of the adversary. I will not negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. 

I won't give up, shut up, or let up until i have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of Christ.

I am a disciple of Jesus. I must give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until he comes. And when he does come for His own, He'll have no problems recognizing me. My colours will be clear!

.SMILE.

it takes only a smile to make a dark day seems brighter.

peace is not what you strive for,

but what you guard.

a SURE way to Succeed in 2008!

New Year's Resolutions are easy to make, but much harder to make real in the noisy bustle of everyday chores and concerns. As january winds down, so does motivation, energy and desire changed. Humans are lack of strong roots in life. 

don't blame the resolution - its the follow-through.

easy steps to improve life:

1. GET REAL

illogical resolutions will never be kept.

2. MAKE ONLY ONE RESOLUTION

you'll spread yourself too thin to make multiple changes in life. Pick just one aspect and improve it.

3. AVOID REPEATING PREVIOUS RESOLUTION 

its too demoralising to repeat broken resolutions. You could try a different technique to keep it.

4. CREATE A GAME PLAN

write a comprehensive personal plan. the mission and how to achieve it.

5. BE ORGANIZED

get rid of the things you no longer need. Do some good.

6. BREAK IT DOWN and MAKE IT LESS INTIMIDATING

even if you fail reaching your BIG goal, at least you have significant achievement along the way.

7. INCORPORATE WITH YOUR LIFESTYLE

example: start taking stairs than elevator =)

8. MAKE CONTINGENCY OPTIONS

be prepared with ways to overcome when it hit bumps along the way. 

9. GIVE IT TIME

experts agreed that it takes 21days to create a habit and 6months to be a part of your life.

10. REWARD YOURSELF AT EACH MILESTONE

treat yourself to something special to pump on the next mile.

11. KEEP AN OPEN MIND

embrace changes.

12. SHARE TO A FRIEND

its a support system to attain your goals and also a guilt factor when you are being bad.

13. START A JOURNAL

recognize your positive steps and not turn back to old habits.

14. HAVE FUN DOING IT

breathe new life into them. live a better, healthier, happier life.

* people who explicitly make resolutions are 10times more likely to achieve goals.
