Know your worth

  What do you see when you look in the mirror every morning? What do others see when they look at you? These are the top 2 questions that I have been focusing on in recent times. The first one is a representation of how I look at myself and feel. Not only physical appearance but even personality, character and spirituality. The second question is how I present myself to people, either familiar or strangers who I just met. All these dynamics shape how we interact with ourselves and with others. Yes, interacting with yourself is actually a thing.  I often read about people who talk to themselves or have journals in which they write things that happen to them during the day and I used to find it quite strange until I realised I literally do the same thing through this blog. So back to those 2 questions...how often do you just look in the mirror and admire God's magnificent craftsmanship?  When you start looking at yourself as God's perfect creation then things will change fo...

As the year begins, we hear a lot of people talking about new year resolutions, goals, places to visit, people to meet, money to make and jobs to get.

It is also the time when the people who make diaries make the most money because everyone wants to plan their year.  The planning aspect comes from the fact that everyone understands the importance of having a plan when it comes to executing your goals. You can't just say I want a $1000 in savings without having a concrete plan on how exactly you are going to do it. You need to be able to break down the goal into smaller more manageable pieces and take it from there. Though all these aspects that go into planning for the new year matter, the most important is often overlooked. The promises that came to Abraham especially the one where he would be heir of the world came through his faith in God. Abraham was able ...
