Adios

I'm so excited! Leaving on a plane to the Land of smiles that is Bangkok tomorrow!
My first spontaneous trip with a colleague.
I'm already thinking of the pad thai and beef noodles!

Blessed

Really blessed by God this week, by His smiling face upon me. Thank you Lord!

I thank God for giving me the courage to do what is right, really! The old me of the past would simply walk away, feeling bad about that issue yet do nothing about it. Thank you Holy Spirit!

And thank you Holy Spirit for just watching over me every moment, saving me from mistakes.
Words cannot express my thanks enough.

The tongue

Ephesians 4:29 (NIV)

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Proverbs 12:18 (NIV)
The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

Matthew 15:10-11 (NIV)
10 Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. 11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”

I've read many bible verses that teach me to hold my tongue, but I couldn't pin point the exact one, so I did a search and realised there are so many. This tells us the importance of the things we say. Let our words only serve to build and give strength. No hurtful words. No I am not perfect but I am trying.
