My Perception Is My Truth!

Tweet from @gapmin

Never allow perception to be ur truth, it's deceiving and tells only one side of the story-ur side!

Everyone has a "that's how I see it" that they can present to the world. But is our viewpoint truth? It's human nature to view life, circumstances, situations and people through our prism of cumulative experiences. It's shocking but true, what we view is often skewed as though we are looking through a glass. God's word is truth, looking at life through a "word-view" is the way to arrive at the truth. I know, I know that takes all the fun

out of seeing things our way. LOL

To determine how a person perceives we often ask them if the glass is half empty or half full. But the perception of half-empty and half-full cheat you of the vision of seeing the glass as overflowing!

Twitter stuff U Can Use

Great news, here are a few resources for Twitter that can make using it more beneficial, lots of fun and less time consuming.

The number one complaint I hear from those not on twitter is that they just don't have the time twitter and are not on the internet daily. Twitter can be updated from the web, via mobile SMS or by two wonderful resources I use that allow you to schedule your tweets. http://twuffer.com/ and http://twaitter.com/ are tweet schedulers, one of them (I forget which one ) even allows you to mask the fact that you are using a scheduler. I schedule 3 days and do mobile tweets if my day allows or if something special is happening. You can also use resources like http://rescuetime.com/ or http://meetimer.com/ to help you monitor the amount of time you spend on Twitter.

http://ping.fm/ is a great resource that allows you to update more than one social media. I also like http://friendfeed.com./

More resources later, please comment if this info was helpful. OH, and check out http://tweetchat.com/ real time chat for updating or doing Twittistry.

Twitter intentionally or by default?

Today's tweet @ gapmin

Some people twitter intentionally and others by default but everyone twitters.

Whether you are on the twitter network or not , you twitter. Your parents twittered and so did their parents. LOL. People have been twittering for years, after all there is nothing new under the sun. Twitter is proving to be more than a social network (it is 3rd in line after Facebook and Myspace); its the place of 140 characters or less that can point to resources, tips, tools, empowerment, connectivity etc.
Like other social media networks it is whatever you make it. Next time you are saying your favorite saying (and we all have them) just remember that you have just twittered--okay, maybe you didn't write it and and maybe it had 142 characters and not 140 but your family and friends have all heard it so often they are now saying it.
Your favorite quote is now just as popular as the many Zig Ziglar, Les Brown and Mother Theresa have released. Are you twittering intentionally or by default?

It's Your Canvas

Tweet from @gapmin

Life is God's canvas, he has loaned U paints & a vivid & creative imagination, don't just stand there paint something!

The amazing thing about God is that he provided everthing that we need to create something beautiful in life-everything! Imagine being handed a canvas, paints, brushes and imagination and just standing there gazing with a puzzled "what do i do with this" look on your face...that's how many believers are ...they have what they need to create a master piece and would easily discover what's in them if they would just start painting! Just paint!

Working With The Right Stuff

Today's Tweet from @gapmin (1 Samuel 17:38-49)
Everyone has a 'Goliath" in their life. When facing ur giant don't forget ur slingshot and 5 smooth stones!

Get your video cam and get ready to do a broadcast from the street, stop strangers and ask them about their Goliaths or the challenges they are facing in life and you are guaranteed to get a great assortment of woes; everyone has them. The issue is not the giants but using the wrong weapons to defeat the giants.

The wrong weapon can cause you to lose the battle and the war! Saul offered David his armour and it just didn't fit, in fact David declined wearing the armour because he told Saul that he had not 'proven' it. Keep in mind that Saul had won some battles wearing the very armour he offered to David---someone else's methods of overcoming may not work for you.

David understood that what worked for Saul may not work for him so he followed the plan of God for taking on Goliath and walked away with victory! If it takes five smooth stones for you to defeat your giant, go with it. If it takes prayer, do it. Fasting, do it. LOL. Ask God for a can of 'giant killer' and watch him give you the plan and the strategy on how to use the thing that seems least. Imagine going out on the battle field with nothing but a sling shot and some rocks--but David prevailed against his Goliath and so will you!

** giant killer is not available at ur local department store, only avalable from God.

revamp the glass of your life!

Tweet this!
It appears hard because you are viewing it as though you are going to do it in your own strength, God's got your back.

Is the glass half empty or half full? Perception can be our friend or our enemy. When we are faced with the challenge of completing an assignment and we forget that we can do all things through Christ who is our strength (Phil 4:13) the assignment often appears much more challenging than it really is. Changing our perspective from viewing life's glasses as half empty or half full to overflowing opens the possibility of getting the the job done.

Writing Project Going Strong!

Today's Tweet:
Psalms 75:6-7 4 promotion d/n come from the east,west or south. But God is the judge: he putteth down 1, & setteth up another.

We are off to a great start with our 60 day writing project. I had an opportunity to talk to a media professional today and there are many possibilities to share the fruit with you. I'm excited and ready to be finished and haven't even really gotten deep into the project yet.

Here's a little tweetithought about one of today's tweet. As many seek to advance in business and ministry we must always be reminded that it is God who puts us up or takes us down. Okay, I know that's a hot topic because many are still pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps--not realizing the strap broke a long time ago and they are merely going through the motions of pulling themselves up. This explains why nothing is happening. Want promotion? Let God do it! Tweet u later!
