Android it is!

10/3/2017

A big "Thank you" to all of you who commented on my recent Blog (Android or Apple). It was great hearing all your comments. I have weighed them all in as well a number of outside comments. My final decision is to stay with Android. There are so many more options, apps, better cameras, more storage, longer lasting batteries, ease at playing music and movies, even taking notes quickly; and yes there are apps that allow you to talk face to face without FaceTime, that is even better than FaceTime. So my decision is to get a new Android. If you like facial recognition Android has eye recognition. It really was a close call. Both are great tools for the work I need to do everyday. Android was hands down just a better tool for me and what I do on a daily basis.

I love my MAC and iPad and really wanted to sync everything but, I found an app to do that too. So I guess I won't be needing that Apple Watch for Christmas after all hubby. (I am sure he will be happy too)

Things change but principles remain the same. I have never been one to follow the crowd. I am usually leading one somewhere. It takes me some time to make a decision, but I am rarely sorry for the decisions I make. I grew up hearing the phrase, "Haste makes waste." The one thing we were not allowed to do in our family was waste things. Perhaps it was because my father grew up during the depression. He taught us the value of hard work and saving things for a rainy day.

So thanks to Dale, Brenda, Carolyn, Carol, Sam, Stephanie, Eric and all the "nerdy people" I bothered at every phone store and kiosk I passed in the last several months. Your input really did help me make the right decision for me at this time in my life.

Galatians 6:4-6 (ERV) Don’t compare yourself with others. Just look at your own work to see if you have done anything to be proud of. You must each accept the responsibilities that are yours.

Renewing our mind and becoming a new person.

As I settle back into being home and back in my office, I realize how truly busy my life is. Sometimes you do not realize what you do, until you step away from it for a while. Working on your personal character can be like that. You fill yourself with the word of God, and work hard at renewing your mind. Still, we may remain hard on ourselves thinking we aren't changing, or that it isn't making a difference. Then, we get with the old crowd, or find ourselves in an old situation, and there it is! The new you emerges. All the hard word and daily Bible reading and meditation has really paid off.

I have returned from my yearly vacation with a renewed vitality. A fresh perspective on things. The praise and worship seemed sweeter yesterday. I truly missed everyone. Admittedly, I am a bit overwhelmed with all I need to accomplish in a very short period of time, but I have this inner sense that tells me, "You've got this" and "It's going to be okay". Just like this little vacation gave me a fresh wind, working on becoming more like Christ changes us in such subtle ways we sometimes don't realize that, we really aren't the same person that began our journey with Christ. We can begin to identify with Paul when he shares that, he no longer lives but Christ in him now lives.

Action Step: Beginning today start working on becoming more like Christ. Just 5 minutes a day in the Word of God can make a huge difference. You can always work yourself up to a longer amount of time, but start small. Also, pick a weakness and begin to research just that one topic. Do a Google search on it. An example would be gossip, or negative thinking, or procrastination. Then find out what the Word of God has to say about it. Research characters of the Bible that had the same frailty, and see how they overcame their weakness, and became strong. Then, the next time you get the opportunity to step away for a while and then come back, you too may realize, "Hey! this renewing my mind thing really works".
