Communication

At ICC, I am taking a Communications(Speech) class. I had to read chapter one for next time, so today I started reading it. I was amazed at how much I could relate to it, because honestly, I did not want to read that boring book! It talked about how important communication is, and how we don't take advantage of it. I think that now, communication should be very important to us. If we could communicate with each other, I'm almost positive we wouldn't have so many problems like we do now. I guess that I am mostly speaking to myself, because I know for myself, I do not like sharing my emotions and what I am thinking about. Rhea, on the other hand, is so good at talking to people about what she is going through. God has given us the gift of communication, and we often misuse it. I believe we really need to communicate with our church family, even the ones we may not feel comfortable with, but also we need to communicate with our elder. I know for myself, after I was baptized, I never really get to talk to Jim as much as I would like. We should take the responsibility and set up a meeting or even just try to talk to our elder at church. I know that our elders really do want to talk to us and are very willing to. Being communicative with other people that are not exactly like us is also very important. I always have to remind myself that even though someone is not the same as me, we are still on the same path as each other, working for the same goal, and we need Christ. I opened up to a very convicting verse tonight. They have mouths, but they speak not. Psalm 135:16 I guess I was probably very convicted, because I know that I am not a very good communicator, and I do need to work on it. Let's encourage one another to be more communicative with each other for each other.
