It's evident to me at least that I got here alone, me and God. It's true that humanly speaking I arrived at life in my mother's womb and even in there I was alone, me and God, for I am the oldest of my parent's children and I was a single birth. So why is it that the goal of a near perfect existence is to be connected to a mate?  Simply put there is peace in having a relationship visible. I believe in the wholeness that is mine because I belong to God eternally, but He has also given me the desire for human contact, therefore he has given me privilege to enjoy the arms of a righteous man. And I wait.

I’m a Christian and this is the one mark on me that ought to give insight to why I do 99% of the things I do!

She answered the question with confidence
saying the reason for her singleness
lies in the explanation
of the man who will come
across her path
with the book in his hand
that list the attributes that she
possesses
that won’t run him away
but will be the personality that
reflects the woman of strength
that is His destiny
he’ll appreciate the fact that
she cleans up well
has a fragrance of rose gardens
grand after the sweat of
accomplishment that
oozes from her pretty brown skin
when
she cuts the grass
installs a ceiling fan
changes a flat tire
irons all the clothes
drives across country
sleeps on the road
writes a book
performs her poetry
after a night of dancing
the belle of the ball
She answered the question with confidence
saying the reason for her singleness
lies in the explanation of the man who will come
across her path.

Managing people is about getting productive results, building a team of individuals to accomplish a task that will benefit everyone involved. The leader should be focused on understanding the skills of his team by observing, motivating, inspiring and offering encouragement until the end.

Manipulation on the other hand has no place in relationships whether professional or personal. This skill is solely for unfair gain, the person who manipulates only cares about themselves and they do whatever they need to do in order to be the only one who benefits from the completed task.

I dislike manipulators with a passion, a passion that keeps me away from them or squashes the desire to work with them on anything. Their influence is skillful yet unfair. Now if I find myself in the company of such people I make a concentrated effort to get off of the team if that is my only recourse, for we all know that there are times when nothing said changes the personnel that you have to work with or under. So I pray until something happens.

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6

   I began my missionary journey in January of 1996. This was the beginning of my relationship with the Haitian people. Fast forward....14 years later, many tears, miracles,friendships, joys and triumphs. Today I am in another place waiting for my instructions. The good news that I share today is that I won my appeal.  

   The job terminated me upon returning from my last mission to Haiti in June of this year. I applied for unemployment, the job denied me that as well. I won’t go into details but I will give a praise report, for two months I have had no income. I filed the appeal on the premise that I had been on trips before without pay and all I wanted to know was what made this year any different. I was reminded of my Religious Freedoms found in the Constitution. I was reminded about the power my God has and the promises He made me. I perseveered and I was rewarded. Thank you God!

Guardians are the cornerstone of society, for they are the temperament given to serving and preserving our most important social institutions. Guardians have natural talent in managing goods and services—from supervision to maintenance and supply—and they use all their skills to keep things running smoothly in their families, communities, schools, churches, hospitals, and businesses.

Guardians can have a lot of fun with their friends, but they are quite serious about their duties and responsibilities. Guardians take pride in being dependable and trustworthy; if there’s a job to be done, they can be counted on to put their shoulder to the wheel. This is Me!

Practical and down-to-earth, Guardians believe in following the rules and cooperating with others. They are not very comfortable winging it or blazing new trails;(yet I call myself a trailblazer,lol)working steadily within the system is the Guardian way, for in the long run loyalty, discipline, and teamwork get the job done right. Guardians are meticulous about schedules and have a sharp eye for proper procedures. They are cautious about change, even though they know that change can be healthy for an institution. Better to go slowly, they say, and look before you leap. This is Me!

Guardians make up as much as 40 to 45 percent of the population, and a good thing, because they usually end up doing all the indispensable but thankless jobs everyone else takes for granted. This is Me, especially on the Mission field.

Guardians at Work
As a Guardian, you enjoy working as a valued member of a team, whether you are leading it or following a credible leader. You like to work with people who carry their weight. You appreciate having clear-cut responsibilities and being recognized for your dedication and achievements. Your natural traits are those that employers have traditionally valued - and that successful companies still respect. You are responsible and loyal to an organization once you’ve signed on. WOW!

In any environment, including your work place, you are usually focused on making people happy and facilitating harmonious relationships. You often lend “aid and comfort” by drawing on a combination of tradition, past experience, and the direction of established authority. In your ideal job, people would give of themselves and work toward the good of the group. This is Me! and only God makes it work out every time.
