A chat with Vodafone...

The vodafone website doesn't seem to have any record of my data usage and is confused about how much I'm allowed (see screenshot below), so when I received a text from them saying I was near my limit (with no detail as to how close, just the price for going over) I decided to get in touch with them about it.

Here's the full transcript from my online chat with them, with just my personal details removed:

Pray more

Here's a few articles I've read recently that are helpful and challenging:

In Reminders Are More Effective Than Rebukes, Tullian Tchividjian reminds us of the need as Christians to regularly remind each other of who we are in Christ, rather than focusing on our sin and that we re-focus on Jesus for "because of Christ’s work on your behalf, God does not dwell on your sin the way you do"

A prayer for strength for one of those days: Dear Lord Jesus, it’s looking like one of THOSE days ... Am I whining? Yes I am, Lord, but I’m bringing my bad attitude and my very busy day to you.

Reminders are more effective than rebukes

I need to be told by those around me that every time I sin I’m momentarily suffering from an identity crisis: forgetting who I _actually_ belong to, what I _really_ want at my remade core, and all that is_ already_ mine in Christ.

A while back I saw that Pete had posted this on twitter, and we decided it was worth a try - since then I can't remember how many times we've made them as it's so simple and tastes good! Just posting it on my blog so it's easier to find in the future!

Ingredients

My graze snacks arrived!

My graze box arrived just before lunch and looked fantastic.Â I've had the pineapple and that was delicious and very juicy - looking forward to eating the rest of the box later!
