Song of consolation - appropriate for the times

Teach me to trust in You with all of my heart...to lean not on my own understanding. 

Just what is it in me?
Sometimes I just don't know
What keeps me in Your love,
Why you never let me go

And though you're in me now,
I fall and hurt you still
My Lord, please show me how
To know just how you feel

You have forgiven me
Too many times it seems
I feel I'm not what you might call
A worthy Christian after all

And though I love You so
Temptation finds its way to me

Teach me to trust in You
With all my heart
To lean not on my own understanding
I just forget
You won't give me what I can't bear

Take me out of the dark, my Lord
I don't wanna be there

You've never left my side
You gave Your hand to me to hold
Oh Jesus, I'm no longer in the cold

And yet, I leave You there
When I feel satisfied
I'd like to thank You every day
Not only when I feel that way

I've never known a Man
Who'd give His life for sinners like me
And yet, because He loves us so
He's promised us eternity
And we can have that promise
And be His if we have faith
And just believe

Teach us to trust in you
With all my heart
To lean not on my own understanding
We just forget
You won't give us what we can't bear

Take us out of the dark, My Lord
'Cause we don't want to be alone
Take me out of the dark, My Lord
We don't wanna be there, My Lord

Trust in You with all my heart
Lean not on my own understanding
I just forget
You won't give me what I can't bear

Take me out of the dark, My Lord
Cause we don't want to be alone
Take me out of the dark, My Lord
I don't want to be there

6 Things for 2011

We were in the middle of our strategic planning. One of the things that was on the plate on the personal front is to think of 3 things / behaviors that each one of us should encourage and discourage this 2011. Here is mine :

3 Things / Behaviors I will encourage

1. Encourage sense of ownership in the team and trust more that guidance and coaching will resolve capabilities gaps than micro-management

2. Show more initiative and strategic thinking in owning issues ad challenges than being reactive and tactical

3. Learn more to respect weekends as time for the family

3 Things / Behaviors I will discourage

1. Unhealthy work habits (i.e. late night/weekend works) and vices (i.e.smoking) that adversely impact work life balance

2. Shooting from the hip when dealing with difficult situations and seemingly unreasonable colleagues

3. Unnecessary and unproductive travels
