This week alone I think I have acquired enough hours in meeting and discussions to break any previous records. I think I am working on over 20 hours of blah, blah this week.
Which is critical for me because it means I am spending more time talking about stuff than actually doing it…Less time cooking and more time being drowned in the politics of life and work.
I can be a verbal communicator if I want, but by choice I am a man of action – be it the action you want or not! I am mentally strained to the point of headaches (which I never usually get, and it physically drains me as well). To what do I owe this great privilege? My big mouth, going against the flow, holding my limits and boundaries seriously with no compromise, and last but not least…Verbalizing all this to the right people at the wrong time! hahaha
Some things no-one wants to hear…And some things cause you so much hassle you wonder if its worth it to delve into an intense problem only to come out the other side and say, ‘what happened? I can’t even remember what the answer was or if we did anything about it.’ can any of you relate to this or am I the one blah, blah’ing your ear off now?
James chapter 3 speaks a good deal about the tongue. Presently I at least try to engage my brain before my mouth and hope I can adequately express myself. I even meditate upon ‘faith without works is dead’ can this translate to…Even if we pray, discuss, conference about things, if we have a physical chance to try to change things with action that coincide with prayer do we need to do it?
I am reminded by my own words as I used the phrase in critical situations, ‘LESS TALK, MORE WORK’. Maybe I should exchange that saying for, ‘PRAY, WORK, HAVE FUN, TALK AS NECESSARY!’.
