Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

The term ‘workaholic’ gives us its meaning straight away by relating it to the words ‘work’ and ‘alcoholic.’ So, has work become the addictive alcohol for you? Have you lost track of your life by always being in the rat race?

There is always a chance that your life may become a waste by putting all of the time in work. There is nothing wrong in being ambitious or putting a lot of effort for carreer development or for more success. When you ignore yourself and your near and dear ones, you are in big trouble.

Your love relationship may be affected in a bad way by playing workaholic. There are lots of reasons that prove this.

1. Workaholics may suffer badly in front of their dates. They might sound like a zombie because after a long working hour they would be mentally exhausted ad physically fatigued. They may not be able to respond humorously. You can easily picture what impression you may make on your date.

2. There is an indirect yet very strong effect of being a workaholic. The effect may be on your personal life. Your dating life may become badly affected. The reason is your subconscious mind keeps itself busy for the whole day and night figuring out the things to be done at work. This also hampers our ability to enjoy life.

3. As a plant needs to be nurtured, our relationships need to be nurtured with commitment, attention, quality time etc. You have to keep it alive and going. Unless you have some real effort in doing so, the relationship will die of starvation in the end. You need to give quality time for your partner; otherwise he or she may feel neglected and even feel cheated.

4. You have heard proverb: Out of sight, out of mind. So, if you stay too long at the office and even spend the weekend working, you may gradually be away from your partner’s mind. So, try to have quality time with your partner to have a successful relationship.

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Do you remember what life was like before you got your dishwasher? That old-fashioned way of life can very well be the missing ingredient that is required to bring more spice to your life. It can be the solution to getting you and your fiance to bond.

Everything should be in black and white when you are dealing with ideas to spice up a relationship or a marriage. People should have quality time together with their partners and bond over new experiences.

The things that have the most power to ignite our relationships are those simple things that people take for granted. These things may include washing dishes together, doing the laundry or taking walks.

You probably have experienced that the process of washing dishes at night in warm soapy water is a calming and meditative process. You will rise to a new realm by just gently rubbing the foam around your arms and paying attention to each cup and saucer that you are cleaning.

This same way, you will get a relaxing and fun time together with your boyfriend or girlfriend if you both spend time together washing dishes.

It is up to you to take charge. Be the initiator and make use of a lot of touching and feeling. Rub your hands a lot. What you gain from al these actions is that you get to connect more. Someone loosens up and warms up to you. It is at this point that you may have a good platform to express feelings.

It is a simple and old-fashioned form of romance. Set a side one day of the week that you are both comfortable having a dinner and afterwards doing the dishes together.

Give the dishwasher a break. Get into a soapy affair, turn on the romance, and ensure that you get cozy while at it.

Letting God Open Doors for You

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

Late last year, I was in prayer seeking the Lord about goals and expectations for 2009. Of course, I had high aspirations as my new book, Letters from the Fathers Heart, was just published in November 2008. As I prayed and asked the Lord for direction for the new year, I heard Him speak to me very clearly about what was in store for 2009. He said to me that 2009 is the year of the open door.

What exactly does the year of the open door mean to us as believers? God has shown me that the words that He spoke to me do not just apply to me personally, but to every Christian who will grab hold of those words and accept them. I want you to stop for a minute and think about doors that have been closed in your life. What things have you tried to accomplish that you just cant seem to make happen? What areas have you struggled to move into freedom? Have you faced closed doors in your business or career? Your marriage? Your relationship with God? Maybe in ministry efforts, or in trying to share the Gospel with an lost friend or loved one? Every one of us has faced closed doors in many areas of our lives. The Lord has spoken to me that 2009 is the year that all of that changes, if you will step up to the plate and trust Him to change it.

I want you to visualize with me for a minute that you are standing in a corridor with a huge bolted door in front of you. Behind that shut door lies the key to what you have been seeking, regardless of what it is. You know that if you can just get through that locked door you will launch out into everything that God has for you. For a long time you have been fixated looking at that door and you have had no solution for getting through it. You have asked God and had faith, but the door has continued to remain closed. Now imagine the Father standing right there with you, and He says to you, son / daughter, this is the year of the open door. Now see your Heavenly Father reaching out and unlocking that shut door and opening it wide for you to step inside and walk into the victory that He has laid out for you.

Begin now to diligently seek the Father for His heart regarding the closed doors that you have been facing. Sometimes the Father wants a door that is closed to be open to you, but at other times He may want a door that appears to be open to be closed so that He can bring about something even more powerful in your life. Ask Him to open every door that He wants open and to close every door that He wants closed. Begin to take the example above and apply it to every area of your life where He reveals to you that He wants the door to be open.

Wherever there have been closed doors that you have faced, see your Heavenly Father opening that door for you. He will be faithful to perform the words that He has spoken, if you will simply believe Him to act on your behalf. Believe Him to open every door that He has for you this year. This is the year for you to walk through the doors that have been closed. Believe God to move powerfully on your behalf and no door can stand in your way.

Searching for Love

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Everyone is looking for love, that is what you hear, Christians are looking for love just as everyone is. They want to find a husband and wife that they can share their Christian life with while keeping the standards of the bible and His word intact. It was not all that long ago that Christians had a limited number of options when it came to the dating scene, that all has changed in this day and age.

Christian dating sites are plagued with the same problems that other dating sites experience. Do not be surprised if there are people on Christian dating sites only posing to be as such. Never take for granted that people are who they say they are, it is imperative that you do your due diligence when you enter into any kind of relationship with someone, but especially a romantic relationship that will most certainly rely on your Christian belief system.

Christians are looking for mates who have morals, discipline and respect their religios beliefs. Even though there is some disagreement among Christians on some basic beliefs, they for the most part believe in one thing. Chrisitan datin sites are an excellent way to find what you are looking for when it comes to that perfect Christian partner.

In the not so distant past, Christians were limited to ads in the newspaper or physical establishments that would help you find your ideal man or woman. Although you can still use these mediums to this day, the internet has become much more popular to find that perfect someone who you want to share your adult life with. In the past Christians were also limited to only those people that attended their own church. Even though this still remains the best way to meet your mate, it limits the pool of suitors quite substantially. You now have the freedom to meet and date like minded people from the internet who shares your belief system and goals in life. This is an important feature as you continue your Christian life.

Many churches hold mixers and parties that members from other churches attend, you are still limited to a certain extent. What if your future love does not attend church regular, or just so happens not to attend the mixer that you went to You may have missed out on the love of your life by not finding him o rher online. Just because you found your love on a Christian dating site does not mean that you are out of the woods as far as doing a background check on the person. Verifying what the person is telling you is always a good idea. Never assume that the person is telling you the truth, even if they do share your belief decison and ir name and number up in a good people and telephone number sarch engine. Take notes and compare what they are saying to what is showing in the search results. Pray about your decison and keep in mind God’s will and you will do just fine.
