Choosing the right foundation to secure your life’s decisions

Have you ever heard a great orator deliver a speech? The eloquence, confidence, and ease of communication are nothing short of captivating. What about listening to an exceptional guitarist play? All you see is their hands moving and you wonder—how on earth is he doing that? But if you journey back with them in time, you will realize that all they learned were the basics, and they mastered their skill by building on these basics.

Sparrow Love

February is defined as a month of love – a time to express just how much we care for others. While there are as many definitions of love as there are ways to express it, this is one of my favorite: “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” Matthew 6:26 This verse expresses, in a unique way, just how much God cares about us. If God cares about the birds and feeds them, then...

How to be the dream employee that every employer wants

Today we look at a guide from the bible on how to drive our career and businesses and it's one of my personal favorites - the concept of time and chance.

Someone who was...

Be comfortable in your own shoes

My dad told me a story when I was little —a very funny one, I must say. It wasn’t until I had had a good laugh that I got the point of what he was trying to say. I hope you will too. He said that a farmer set out to buy some tools that he would need for the planting season. When he got to the market, he bought a bucket and a basket On the way to his farm, the bucket and basket conversed between themselves. They were so excited to be on their way to fulfill the purpose for which they had been...
