Lessons From My Friend
Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful fathers. We appreciate you and the love you pour into your children. Lessons From My Friend I was talking to a friend in my networking group, and he shared with me some of the things he needed to do for the summer. He lives on a decent acreage […]
Friendships
It seems this has been the theme for this week in and outside of my household. My daughter is navigating eight year old girl friendships, and, needless to say, sometimes it can be not so fun. She shared with me a challenge she was having and as I know it’s my job to help her, […]
Celebrate the Win
A few days ago, I hit a work anniversary: two years of being an independent financial advisor. As I sat in my quiet time, I truly marveled at the work that God has been doing in my life. The way He has been able to combine my love for educating people on their finances, with […]
Consistency
This morning I opened my Bible app at it said I had consistently opened the app for 400 days! I have never made this accomplishment. Usually, life would happen, and I’d somehow forget to open it after 150 days. So, for me, this is huge. There’s another metric next to the days. It says: 173 […]
Is it the Right Time?
This morning, I seem to be thinking of ‘Time’. I ended my journaling time, asking God to do what I believe He has promised, but this morning, I surprised even myself. I asked Him not to do the thing, if it’s not the right time. You see, even the best things, under the wrong circumstances […]
A Different Adventure
Our school district had a day off to celebrate Eid, which is the end of Ramadan. As the weather was finally turning warmer, my girlfriend and I decided to do something with our kids to get them out of the house. Normally, I’m the one doing the planning, but there was somewhere local that she […]
Happy Mother’s Day
Good morning and Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mother’s to all who are celebrating. And to those women who are waiting to become a mother, there is something here for you too. Today will be a bit of a departure from my usual post – I want to share a bit of my own […]
What’s Your Message?
Yesterday morning I wanted to journal on a particular verse that came to me. But, as my routine was already off, I didn’t get around to it. This morning as I sat in my quiet time reminding God that I still didn’t have a topic to share (or the one I wanted to), I was […]
A Smile, a Joke, and a Kind Word
A few days ago I needed to catch a train, which has been an unusual occurrence since the pandemic started. As I was walking towards the train station, I saw a young man holding a bouquet of flowers. I jokingly said ‘you’re so kind, thank you for my flowers’. We both laughed. He said ‘good […]
Facing Our Fears
Have you ever felt so paralyzed by fear that you stop doing activities that you have normally easily done? That’s where I’ve found myself recently. Things that I never thought twice about doing, I’ve now started obsessing about the way I should do it, or if I should even do it at all. I’m creating […]
