Reflection…

2020, the year that took alot by surprise. The year that would go down in history as a time that everyone saw how quickly the world could be held at a standstill. The year that most people would say was their worst year yet, or a year that they would like to erase. However, truthful as a lot of the claims may sound, I beg to differ. 2020, was a great year for my family and I in so many ways, and I’m so thankful that I can say in 2020, as people experienced a casting down, there was a lifting up for my household. So as we begin this new year 2021, may it be an even better year, may it bring us every blessing that has been promised to us. I pray for you that this year you fully understand your purpose and pursue God like never before. Happy New Year!!!

Another new year and another opportunity to make countless promises to ourselves that we must be different and do something that will completely alter the course of our lives. As a family we are no different. My wife has vowed to go on a new diet and I have vowed to write more, hence this blog. There is nothing wrong with setting new challenges but I think the biggest desire for my family is that we want to be CONSISTENT. We want to go beyond the point of doing something because of how we feel but rather DISCIPLINING ourselves to do it because we will reap the rewards eventually.

One thing we have all agreed on is to actively study the word of God as a family. Our Pastor gave away free study bibles on New Year’s Eve to encourage the congregation to actively study the word of God and we gladly accepted that challenge. Since we got married we’ve prayed together every night but part of the reason we want to study more is also encourage our daughter to actively participate and become more familiar with the word. Every parent has the desire to instill good values on their children and we are no different.

So I would like to officially welcome you to our blog and feel free to share your hopes, desires and plans for the next year. The world needs a lot more positivity and we want to share our journey with you.

GENESIS 2:7 NKJV

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the BREATH OF LIFE; and man became a living being.
