Chapter 2: Most Valuable resource
The most valuable resource - People.
"Let Us mae in Our image, in Our likeness" Gen 1:26. Coupled with Gen 11.16 "Nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them". Unlimited creativity with God's given attribute of reason. Things of today are ideas of people of history. Things of tomrrows are the ideas of today. In simple creativity is the key.
Creativity can be defined as the making of something new, or the rearranging of something old. In practical, creativity finds solution to orgainzational problems. Creativity finds new and better ways of accomplishing a task.
Creativity comes from sources which in simple is from God and man. Thus the valuable resource, people, need to be needed. This is just simple truth.
However, organizational tradition limits the use of creativity.
In simple of management activites can be reduced to two basic functions - management of "things" and "ideas".
People is a resource that is not just bought with money, but with others eternity things.
Simple chapter....yeah there is no limit to this chapter.....when is there the limit to a unlimited creativity? Perhaps is the word unlimited.

Management: A biblical Approach
Just bought this book as I was walking around just now. Was looking for a book to buy as the book entitled " Anointed for Business" by Ed was returned to it's owner... thus was feeling that there isn't much things to read while on the way to work. Thus as I was praying and listening to what book to buy. There were a few books that I saw, familiar books that I already have. There are also books about relationship which I expressed some interest on the title on the cover.
Despite all these book-title-window-viewing, I was prompted to learn about the marketplace. How to be a effective person in the market place also requires some knowledge too. Due to the fact that I am not not really into my current job yet as a donor manager, I felt led to get a book that will help in the way I work. Thus this book, just a few books away from Ed's "Anointed for Business", is this book. And after a glimpse and reading the back content, I just buy it.
On the way home, I read the first chapter: A biblical philosophy of Management. The verse the book quoted to contain the key ingredients of a successful organization is from Gen. 11:1-9: The Tower of Babel. Here are the four key ingredients:
1. Commitment to work on a goal
2. Unity among the people
3. An effective communication system
4. Doing the will of God.
This was the exactly same quotation example that was used for a sermon recently on : Establishing God's economic xxxxx. which include these 4 points
1. Building ourselves a city - Greed
2. Control & Fear-A tower that reaches up to heaven
3. Pride - We make a name for ourselves
4. Rebellion - We will not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.
There are from the biblical perspective. However as both are co-referencing from the Bible. How practical is the Bible. A passage has so much depth into it.
From these 2 view point of this particular passage, it should the word is really like a show magician with many faces. However as one face changes to the other...in the end of the show, the final truth of the face of the person will reveal. And thus too the truth behind this passage.
In one taking of reading this new book, from just one chapter, I took one principle back to apply: The difference between :Management is getting work done through others; Management is meeting the needs of others as they work at accomplishing their jobs.
Servant Leader or Serving Leader. One is the leader of the servant, the other is the characteristic of the leader. One is a position of what is done, the other a position of what is still doing.
Now I wonder will my blog be really read.....now I not sure....but till due time, perhaps I will know....and how what I have written on these blog, people will know....
Hope it blessed and Bless it Hoped

Almost so close yet so surprising
Indeed today is something that is almost so close yet so surprising. A few interestings points that I would like to journal to remember.
Firstly will be today is the first YCK drive that I went. It was sizeable and quite successful drive. The first time that I took the Are you my Type pins and give them to distribute. It was a great experience to see how a CC is able to make a blood drive part of their theme and make it a success. It may not be a 100% success, however, it shows to me how one aspect that a CC can do. Bringing the family, providing health screening to attract the crowd and let them have awareness of blood drive. Indeed it seems like a promtion stage.
Unawareness -> Awareness -> Beliefs/Knowledge -> Attitude -> Purchase Intention -> Purchase
Purchase in our context will be the step forward to donate blood. A successful donor will have to go through this process and none will be missed out.
Second will be there is a special guest who came down to support me. It is not just the MP who came down for the drive. Well the MP is really friendly and so willing to talk to people. He is also willing to find out from people. His heart to just be to with the people and looking out for people. The really touching thing to my heart, something that really melts my heart away. It is a feeling that I so willing to serve. A feeling so familiar but yet challenging to me as it brings what is of the past of me. It is a state of events that make me think and challenges me emotionally. However as I talked to Evonne, I realised how much grace and how blessed. The stage of life that God has brought me to and the stage that he is preparing me to. In addition to that, He created a situation to challenge my heart. Indeed it was a challenging. A friend who will fetch her. Woah. Simple words that I didn't take note. The first look seems so subjective. It is really so subjective, however, what I can simply say Thank God. Just from the bottom of my heart that I thank God that He just tailor such a situation to mould my character. I heard these two words from another sister in christ whom just had a news from school. Two simple words, to mould and to release. I just simply was in awe of God's awesome.
Indeed it is a situation that mould me and yet still release me. Initial thought will be to find out more, to find out the truth. The one way is to ask directly. Thank God. Thank God. Although it may through my facial expression that I may have displayed, however truth just a mere 30 minutes. However it was a tense but yet enjoyable 30 minutes ride to church. From trying to get someone to buy subway cookies for both JJ and me, to the driver Kingston? proposing to drop us at hall 6 subway. It is just so interesting. Just before entering church, the truth finally came out. Thanks God for brother in christ. He is someone whom is being evanglised to go to church service. That so reminds me of how I used the same technique, cross-gender evanglism. How thin the line, trending only danger area in which yet God can used the mutual attraction to such great heights. It, like a double edged sword, is a powerful tool that can protect or destroy.
Finally, it will the cross stitch. I still asked although for more pictures. Although there is one I already have one hand. Perhaps the plan I can have now, since I doubt anyone will read my blog at all, though there has being 192 visitors whom I not sure how to access the data. I will still proceed with making the cross stitch. The plan now is by 2 Dec 2008, which is a Tuesday that I will go and get the materials to make the cross stitch. There are a total of 2 design, both about the same. Both will using AIDA 18 count which means the size will be small. Anyway, the deadline for the first project is 7 April 2008. Thus that will give me like Jan, Feb, Mar = 12 weeks to do. 91700 stitches. That will translate to, if 1 stitch takes an average of 2 seconds, about a total of 51 hours. I believe it is worth the effort for whatever the outcome. Here I will decide and commit it to the Lord. In the completion date and the presentation of the gift, it is meant to be given. Regardless the outcome, if received, things will just be simple. A 25th quarter century gift and a welcome to the quarter century club. If rejected, it will be a final product of hard work and perservance of achievement. I can still take it back and put it in my house. It is something that I can take home to remember.
I just have a simple prayer. Lord, may your will be done. Let your will be revealed and let your prepare me for your purpose. As I watched Orpah's big give, I realise to give, to give big is needs big effort. A saying I remember I read, One who give causally will reap causal joy; while one who give effortlessly, whole-heartedly will reap immese joy. Not exactly the usage of the same word as the statement, however the spirit is in it. So close yet so surprising. This is indeed one.

Still thinking about someone....now even doing cross-stitch half way
Yup....now thinking about someone....who can guess or know who the person is? Indeed it is just me. Thinking about someone as usual. Not doing the cross-stitch that embroided with = For Someone Special. Special Calligraphy.
It looks simple but yet delicate. Going to do a purse / bag out of it. Wonder when will I be able to complete it? It is something to be wondered....on 31 x 30...yet I will still take some time to complete it due to the opening thread and closing thread for multiple areas.
In simple, I am still thinking about that person. However it is not the end of 2008. Well I just have to wait till 2009. For timing is in His hand. In His all knowing hands. Well 9 Nov...YCK CC Blood Drive...Another interesting one to go. Another one that is all settled by the BMO. Nothing much I need to do. Just go ahead and look look. Already mentioned to the person. Now just depends whether the message get through.
Well the person is busy with work....so let it be just great time... :)
Great to the Glory of God
