Thankfulness is a deliberate choice. It is a decision to look away from what is not working, and focus on the ONE thing that works (or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5). There will always be something that you need, that hurts, that could be better. But guess what? There’s that one place where
All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised. Hebrews 11:39 NLT The reward for faith is not the physical manifestation of what you were believing God for. While it is nice to see the things that you prayed for come into fullness,

Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. 1 Timothy 2:2 NLT Paul just wanted peace and quiet – yet trouble was stirred up nearly everywhere he went. 1. People will react to the truth that you carry
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Phil 2:13 NLT It is God at work in me, that gives me the – desire – power to do what pleases Him. Not my efforts, not my abilities. He Himself. In this journey, He is on
Enoch lived 365 years, walking in close fellowship with God. Then one day he disappeared, because God took him.

This hair holds a lot of lessons for me – like how giving something up on God’s instructions doesn’t mean that you’ve lost it, …or how it often comes back better, bigger than it was before, and sometimes in no time at all (if you saw the hair after I chopped it off in 2018,
No Fear, No Helplessness, No Defeat. In our last mail, we looked at fear: how to handle the emotion, push back on the feelings, reach around the scare and anxiety to push forward to success.

I miss you! No kidding. I know I love to stay (and work) indoors, but this lockdown is a different scenario. I Miss being able to call for hangouts and have brainstorm sessions with so much light and wisdom blazing, warm bear hugs and kisses, plus the beautiful fellowship of good food. On the other
1 Cor 7:5 …outside were conflicts, inside were fears… Building a business is often tougher than it looks: on the outside, you’ve got to get through the red tape of administration, staying legal, growing your customer base etc. Then you’d need to work out the logistics of operations, managing people (especially staff) and planning
Happy World Book Day ?? (Yup! I pulled out of a pretty good book to post this, so you’d better read to the end lol) Books are grossly under-rated, but it’s nice to see the international community come together to celebrate the one dynamically evolving tool that we rely on most heavily to shape our
“The currency of relationships is tricky, yet the most natural thing in the world.” – P. K. Hadassah 2018 One of the most annoying statements I’ve heard from a person, is “I value relationships”.
