Move on to people that are wi...

With the New Years, comes the New Year Resolutions. In theory these are great, but there's a catch to them. You have to plan out how you want to achieve those resolutions. A lot of people don't put intentionality on how they will be achieving their goals and without that intentionality, the whole thing kind of falls apart. You can't just say you want to do or be something, you have to put in the w...

Why is it that we never overthink the positive? We're always worrying about the negative things that can overwhelm us, that can consume us but we tend to forget that God made us in his image and as his image bearers he will provide for us and protect us the same way that you would provide for your own children. Your own image bearers. “So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own...
