Anger KILLS!

Good Stuff Here! Excellent listen about anger: https://youtu.be/OHiA-9ty4MA

Anger hardens the heart and kills marriages one day at a time. Self Awareness is the first step to healing. Do you even know why you are angry? What is the root cause of your anger / aggression. 

Spend some time with yourself, Dig DEEP, figure it out. I bet you’ll be surprised at what you learn. Are you an active LISTENER? Have you taken time to understand why your spouse behaves a particular way? Have you ever asked, or are you just a bully? I know I’ve been a bully for years, finally took the time to analyze and understand my own feelings and realized I was 90% of the problem .. who would’ve thought?! 😇 

Check yourself before you blame others.

Perfect In His Eyes

Friendly reminder! Regardless of how you see yourself, in God’s eyes .. you are perfect! Be careful how you criticize God’s creation, you were made in his image and he loves you right where you are, just the way you are! He has a plan for your future, just trust and obey!

The Beauty of Parenting

Happy Birthday to our first born. Parenting is not easy, it comes with no instructions. Each developmental stage presents a new challenge and most of the time, as parents, we have NO IDEA what we are doing.  
Parenting teaches us faith! It teaches us the meaning of true, unconditional love. It tests our limits and reveals our true strength. It causes self-awareness as our children are mirrors of our own selves. Finally, parenting, is a tangible demonstration of grace.  

The beauty of being a parent, is that it does not require perfection, it only asks for a willing heart! 

Please help us celebrate Alyssa’s 11th Birthday! 

The Power of the Listner

“Meanings are not in words, meanings are in people.”

What a powerful statement.

 “The average adult uses about 500 words most often, and each has between 20 and 25 meanings. So two people can use 500 words with the possibility of 12,500 meanings!” (Burley-Allen) 

 Perfecting the art of listening is difficult, but so necessary and extremely rewarding. People tend to think that power comes from speaking. I’m learning that the real power lies in effective listening!

 Simply learning to listen, could change your marriage, your work environment your life! Be intentional about learning to listen, you’ll thank yourself later.
