Navigating the Mountaintop and Valley Experiences of Life!
Yesterday we celebrated Palm Sunday. We remembered Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem; He came riding on a donkey and the people laid down their clothes and branches from trees. It was glorious and the people shouted, "Hosanna in the highest." (Matthew 21:8-9). Jesus came to earth with one purpose, which is to fulfill His Father's … Continue reading Navigating the Mountaintop and Valley Experiences of Life!
Running from Adversity to Destiny
Have you ever found yourself taking on a task because someone else didn’t succeed in their role? Often, it’s unpleasant because people resent your success where they haven’t succeeded.

Every day, everybody engages in actions that provide either a benefit or a consequence. We would prefer that our actions produce positive results because, we believe, the other option is not beneficial. Those experiences that produce pain and heartbreak, we want to send them across town or better yet to another country. But God sees … Continue reading Growth God’s Way!
Redirect Your Focus!
There are times in life when people ask you what you want. These are not random individuals who have no connection to you.

At times, we don’t know exactly what we want and so the response … Continue reading Redirect Your Focus!

Imitate God: Develop Faithfulness
Children often imitate the qualities of their parents. If the parents are polite and helpful, then it’s possible to see those qualities in the offspring. The reverse is true if parents spend their time cussing at everyone including their children, then it’s highly likely that their children will do likewise. When you walk with God, … Continue reading Imitate God: Develop Faithfulness
