10 Things I want to teach my kids about choosing Friends
I loved this blog, and it can help us as parents as well in establishing friendships.
- Surround yourself with people who care more about God’s opinion of them than other people’s opinion.
- Find those who intentionally reach out to others from within their “inner circle” and connect with them

- Seek out those who care more about doing the right thing than doing the “cool” thing.
- Connect with people who will never ask you to compromise your values and morals.

- Surround yourself with people who will point out your flaws with good intentions.

- Be among those who are willing to press beyond the answers of “i’m fine” “i’m alright” to forge deeper relationships.
- Be with those who will point out your sins and work through them with you, in confidentiality.

All Of Me
There's no greater connection with the Heavenly Father than growing within your spiritual life in developing your own personal relationship with God through prayer, study, and reflection. Don't get me wrong corporate worship is important, but we can venture deeper by studying the word for ourselves. We can pause in reflection on those words to digest them not just in thought, but we can digest them within our spirit.
Finding Your Tribe
We all have our preferences within social interactions and personalities that we feel more comfortable with. I personally feel discovering your tribe goes way deeper than that of surface connections. A true mutual connection of a genuine bond goes beyond the depths of human separation of race, religion, gender, and that of social… Continue reading Finding Your Tribe
The Tears Flowed Down
There will be days when the soul just needs to have a release. I am a naturally smiley person, and I have always been that way. There are times though were the soul yearns for a deep cleansing cry for which afterwards I feel no shame. It's like a weight has been lifted. A… Continue reading The Tears Flowed Down
