What if, instead of seeing my job as drudgery, I view it as an opportunity to be a light? Suddenly, it’s no longer just a job – it’s a mission field. My ‘workplace’ is not as much about toil as soil – the place where God planted me for a season and for a reason.

Be Not Discouraged
Discouragement is much like a leaky tub; hopes, aspirations, and optimism slowly spiral down the drain, leaving us cold and vulnerable. It’s a gradual process that often goes unnoticed until we’re left with only the dregs of our dreams.
WALK IN THEIR SHOES
At times, it seems difficult to understand and love those whom others consider unlovable, but God will give me the courage to do so. I know he will help me become more aware of what I can do for others instead of thinking about what I can’t do.
Laughter
God wants to fill our mouths with laughter—not superficial, temporary amusement that washes away with the next wave of emotions, but genuine and buoyant joy that can withstand the storms of life.
Do Not Lose Heart

Ecclesiastes 7:10 (NLT) Recently, I was looking through my mother’s photo album and came across these words my grandfather wrote beside the wedding photo of my mum and dad: “The worldling looks nostalgically on past experiences which can never be recaptured, seeking their repetition, …
