To pursue life with Jesus. Seek everyday to know my Lord deeper.
In order to have a good marriage you will need to set some goals together, some intentionally time spent together – away. Discuss the hard stuff and don’t sweep it under the rug and let the build up. It will never just “go away” on it’s own.
Through love, service, self awareness, compassion, effort, focus, choice, genuine, apology and changed behaviour I make a difference in other’s lives and benefit the world.
Trust in God. Be true to yourself and family. You can’t take it with you.
Stay more within the hands of God.
It’s called “FAITH” because someone else (God) is leading you through the darkness. It doesn’t take faith to go where you can see where you are. If it was light, if it was easy, then it wouldn’t involve a faith muscle. And if I’m in control, then God is not. And that’s not where I want to be.
People are the most important things in life. Treasure relationships with others.
