“Truth communications always come from the heart”

06/10/2018
2º Week
Fiona Gifford, Staff Team

During this week lecture, Fiona spoke about communications foundations. It was very enlightening to me, because, it was the first time I have headed of these foundations of communications and how our past experiences influence the way we communicate. It is very exciting and challenging at the same time, because it made me evaluate on now I communicate and now I receive others people form of communicating well. 

One of the points that really grabbed my heart was when Fiona talked about assumptions. God started to showing me how I always assume the worst from anyone in leadership and it’s show me how angry I have towards leadership and he show me the roots of this anger and indifference.

After some few episodes I headed about few bad exemples of leadership I felt angry and frustrated about christian leadership, then God started to pointing out the reason of my behave.

I choose this pictures of my son crying to represent this two feelings that I felt during this week. And I choose to print out the picture in a big size to represent the size that this feeling took in my heart.

Aprove all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it

I am thankful God showed me the root of my issues with leadership. I feel God is calling me (like when he called Moses to the burning bush) to a place of meeting with Him where He can communicate intimately and clearly to me, bringing transformation and new values commands to live out.

The pictures represent the call to meet with Him and the new perspective that is coming to be.
