One day I found myself having a conversation with someone who told me life was too short, that they enjoyed all the pleasures offered to them, and that I should loosen up a little. Although we should enjoy life, this should be done prudently. We mustn't lose focus as to why we are really here;… Continue reading The BIG Picture

He Loves Me
I was listening to a youth pastor speak as he was saying that we behave differently depending on the person we're with. He continued saying that the one person with whom we can be ourselves with, 100% of the time, is God. He is well aware of who we are, what we do...etc. Yet, He… Continue reading He Loves Me
Breath of Life
There are a lot of things we often take for granted; air for example, is one of them. When God breathed on Adam, He gave him life and brought him into existence.

There was nothing extraordinary about this line and I've probably sung it hundreds of times, but that day it had a completely different meaning. "Withholding nothing" means a complete surrender, which for me meant letting go of the concerns/problems… Continue reading Withholding Nothing
A Good Squeeeeeeeze
One morning I noticed one of my tubes of makeup was running low. Rather than toss it, I gave it a good squeeze and got more makeup out. I was able to keep this up for about 2 weeks. Had I tossed it out when I noticed it was running low, I would've lost all… Continue reading A Good Squeeeeeeeze
