Hello there ! ohmygosh , I stayed at home for the whole day , and it's so bored . When I'm bored , it makes me miss Malaysia so much . I miss my bike , I miss my house in Malaysia . Back in Msia , when I'm bored , I'll always call some friends out and we cycle to certain shops for yumcha session . Here , I don't have a bike , and it seems quite far to actually see a shop nearby . LOL , so bored larh . Well whatever , I guess I'll just stick to my dramas to keep myself entertained . So , day 15 and 16 below , God bless and loves you :D

DAY 15
Communicate Isn't easy

- Communication is important to relationship because all relationships are fuelled by communication

- It takes good communication to keep a relationship moving ahead for a life time
- Communication is not a science ; it's an art ,filled with fine lines and shades of meaning
- Our words have the power to take our relationships to a new level of impact and intimacy

- You may not be given the ability to heal someone physically with your words , there is no doubt that your words can heal a relationship , heal someone's faith , heal a broken heart , heal a shattered hope .

" Reckless words pierce like a sword , but the tongue of the wise brings healing "
( Proverbs 12:18 )


DAY 16
The foundation of communication is trust

- By introducing only ONE lie into a relationship , and trust is eroded
- We cannot have high-quality communication without high-level trust
-Trust is centred on two tiny words - Yes or No
- Jesus speaks to us about the centre of this trust with utter simplicity :

" Let your "Yes" be "Yes" , and your "No" be "No" "

Eroding trust
1. Lies
- Lies are always told in the absence of trust
" Anybody who says he or she never lies is lying . Mostly I think you tell the truth , but absolutely I think you'd lie "

2. Flattery
- Flattery is just a positive lie designed to increase your standing in another person's eyes
- Flattery is a flat-out lie about someone's skills or actions for the purpose of personal gain
- Flattery involves telling lies- lies that hurt others for your gain . It invites someone to believe something about him/herself that isn't true , and if he does believe it , his life can easily be sent spinning in the wrong direction

" Liars hate the people they hurt , and false praise can ruin others " ( Proverbs 26:28 )

3. Broken promises
- It's all too easy to use God as an excuse for a broken promise
- Jesus , God in human flesh , told us to let our "Yes" be "Yes" , infact , he said that when we go beyond this simple affirmation of the truth to manipulate words in an effort to get our own way , we're being ruled by the evil one ( see Matthew 5:37 )

4. Silence
- Rebuilding trust always takes a combination of truth plus time .Eventhough it will be difficult , once you've rebuilt and set your relationship down again on a foundation of trust , it'll have been worth it all .
