Vote the best dancer

A long-procrastinated POLL to vote the best dancer.

How the story goes: Two Sundays ago we had a farewell dinner for one of the core leaders in church, one of his loves was to go ballroom dancing so he decided that he should commemorate his farewell by getting everyone in church into the action !

After much hilarity and action, 3 boys I mean MEN stood confident in their dancing poweress and went around asking the maidens to pick the best partner out of the three:

Introducing the judges for the night: The Maidens
Back row: Stacey, Fiona, Pet & ME
Front row: Julie, Jane & Sindy

Head Judge: Mrs Lisa Rhodes!

The Three Finalists

1) Groovin' Rockstar Paul Rhodes

2) The Cuteyest Wabbit Petar Rhodes

3) Mafia Boss David Rhodes

The results as of that night now-withstanding:

Paul: 4 votes

Peter: 2 votes

David: 1 vote (from the head judge nonetheless!)

Not there Yet


Is it fair to say I was lured away?
By endless distractions and lovelier attractions then
Or fairer still, my own free will
Is the better one to blame for this familiar mess I made again

So I would understand, if you were out of patience
And I would understand, if I was out of chances

Your mercies are new every morning
So let me wake with the dawn
When the music is through or so it seems to be
Let me sing a new song, old things gone
Every day it's true, You make all Your mercies new

The distance left between East & West
Is how far You would go to forget the debt I'd owe
And thrown into the sea, the wicked way in me
Will never have a chance to wash back on the sand

So I would understand if you would make me pay
I would understand lying in the bed I made again

Up comes the son on every one of us
Gone, gone, gone the guilt and shame that knew your name.

"Its me again.. "

Time of reckoning this weekend, to be told in the midst of a trying period that u're still failing in certain aspects in an area that u thgt u're doing a pretty good job of handling. Sometimes it makes u wish that u could just ex-communicate urself from community or human contact so that u don't have to be afraid to stumble, offend or distract someone. Perhaps its easier just being a hermit cos what's the point of doing all this the people u're trying to lead see what u SHOULD NOT do a lot more than what u are doing what u should be doing. What's with all the nit-picking ?! Leaders are HUMAN! really... pinch them to try, they'll say ouch!

That was crazy me last night when I contemplated a correction given to me. It made me feel like throwing in the white towel, like " AIYAH! this is too much for me, i think its easier to just go back to the way I used to live, think and act, I feel so SIAN!"

But as I showered (funny how u get revelations in the bathroom) I heard God nudge me in the midst of heated scrubbing, "You're not there yet but you're not what you used to be either.. " At that moment all the feelings of what's the point and condemnation started to evaporate.
Those priceless God moments, its funny how u can think and think for hours but when a fresh revelation or a simple word from God can just stop u at ur tracks and change ur mind completely.

And this morning's dawn at 5am was nontheless awesome as I conversed with God to ask Him to teach me the full lesson and also a chance for me to repent. Forgive me for my stubborness and rebellious attitude.
Truly though this weakness is still there, I would say I've already grown a lot stronger in the area. I'm not there yet but I'm getting there, repentance happens in a moment BUT life transformation and change takes time.

God has blessed me with a leader who is willing to go through the tough love with me watch over me and to correct me when I stray. . I really admire that. Its not easy to be the one to have to be the bearer of correction.
Perhaps that's why though I'm scared of him at times, I have the utmost respect for him.
NOT a HINT. That's the standard, step by step I'm getting there God.

Thank you for being patient with me =)
