CREATIVITY: A JOURNEY
I was told a long time ago there was a study done about 3 kinds of people; people who live for the moment, people who live for the future and people who live in the past. The study showed that majority of people who believed in some form of higher being or eternity would tend [...]
I just finished planning my to-do list for the week and .IT.IS.PACKED. So much so I'm just wondering how much margin am I leaving for what's really important. Because busy isn't necessarily productive and productive isn't necessarily effective. At the same time I have spent my fair share in the last few months really having [...]
Can you stand? Often the moments we experience move in waves. Ups, downs, storms, deserts, valleys, mountains; we know and can picture this. What we don't know is the timing of each rise and fall. So it messes us up the second we think we have it all figured out -WHAM! Bam. Kabloom. Rug. Under [...]
Did you know: It is estimated that a human is never more than 10 feet away from a spider—ever. Spiders can be caught by the hand, yet they're found in kings' palaces. No matter how atas you think you are, you'll find cobwebs in your castle. Because that's what a spider does. It instinctively rests [...]
It never really looks like what we think it would. Our answered prayers, I mean. Under-qualified, under-staffed and under maintenance. That's how the Israelites scouted the promised land. Sure, it was destined to be theirs but, oh, dang, the amount of work it would take. Sure, there were pomegranates and figs ripe for the picking; [...]
"I have come that you may have life to its fullest measure." That's a pretty bold statement for anyone to make, yet that is the very promise Jesus gives us. I gotta be honest. I don't always see that manifesting. I'm moved visually, so when I see suffering, I'm moved to doubt. In contrast when [...]
Humans for some reason take twice as long to grow up as compared to other mammals. Giraffes pop out and 4 years later they're drinking and voting. But human babies take at least 18 years before they can be considered mature by society. That, however, does not stop them from wanting to do the things [...]
Have you ever seen a social media story and compared someone else's 15 seconds to your whole life achievements up till that point? It's a ridiculous spiral. A wise man once said, "You can be blessed, but still be in bondage." You can end up wishing for Eden while missing the paradise you're already in. [...]
When it rains, it pours. That very rain falls both on the good and evil. Yet, should I consider myself good even by my own standards, I naïvely expect some shelter from the Almighty as compensation for obedience. So imagine my utter shock as I step out on the pavement and I am welcomed into [...]
It's possible to get out of a relationship without getting over it. To move into the future without getting over the past. Every new season in life requires a new mindset. A new way of looking at our situation, our difficulties, our successes. When God brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt to the [...]
