When life is all about those around you, that is when you realize life is worth the living.
What foot prints are you leaving behind on this journey?
‘Go, eat of the fat, drink of the sweet, and send portions to him who has nothing prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength”
Nehemiah 8:10)
There is nothing quite as fulfilling as identifying gifts in people and seeing the dreams of individuals become a reality. Inspiring hope and fanning into flames the passion to live a purposeful life.
