Enjoying Life

Hey,
I hope you are having a great day today. As I'm writing this blog post,  I'm relaxing in my couch at home enjoying the snow day that my work has granted everyone due to the weather.  I wanted to talk to you about enjoying life and the reason behind why we should enjoy life.  Recently I read the book of Ecclesiastes and part of the book (Ecclesiastes 11:7-10) tells us to enjoy life. Before my transformation, I would have my mind clouded on all the things of the world- from wanting to get a promotion to the amount of workload that I had to deal with in the midst of all the things of the world. Now that I've made changes to my life, I started to enjoy life more than ever before. 

The first step I had to work out was my job path. I'm in a different space where the workload is not heavy and I have enough time to balance home life and work life. I used to neglect my time away from my family. Now I enjoy time with my family... and they are fun people to be around. The second step I had to think about was my reason behind enjoying life. For me, I think about how we all got through the pandemic and the shift on mindsets with this event taking place. I also take into consideration all the obstacles that my family and I faced in the past. The quote " life is short" stands true to today's day... so I take this into consideration and enjoy life for what I have. The final step is to focus on gratitude. I was never grateful for what I had and would keep chasing after worldly possessions that would serve me temporarily. Now, I'm more than grateful for what I have; I feel blessed and so can you... as long as your mindset is in the right direction. 

I suggest you enjoy life for what it's worth and be grateful for the people who are in your life. Read Ecclesiastes today and enjoy being in the moment.

When Hearts Touch

Hey,  I'm here with my first movie recommendation. It's called When Hearts Touch. This animated movie is based on a book that was already published in Nigeria. This movie is about a 9-year-old boy in a village who did not have money, but he had his parents which kept him happy. Sadly, both parents passed on...leading to Preye's struggle. During the struggle, Preye was searching for food...sometimes he would look for a job and receive food as part of his payment. It wasn't until Preye met the farmer when his life began to change. Here's a movie trailer so you could get a sneak preview 😊.  If you would like to watch this movie, you can find it on Tubi.

Vanities

Hey, [ Started November 28th, 2025] I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving with loved ones. I know I was happy to spend quality time with family away from social media (this is the first year where I did not post the antics, but instead used my digital camera to capture memories) . During this month, I decided to read the book of Ecclesiastes that was recommended by my sister. I can say that as of November 28th, I'm halfway through the book and there's a lot of takeaways that I've taken in during my Bible Study. In the first six chapters, Solomon tells readers about what is considered vanity. I noticed that there was a trend among these chapters... and that is going after money and other worldly possessions. When I read through the first six chapters, my eyes were opened with what was vain.  I talked about this previously in a podcast episode that I used to consume a lot of items that was not connected with my spiritual walk. Since then, I've gotten rid of those items...

Be Still by Cece Winans

 Hey,  I hope you're having a great day today. In this blog post, I will sharing with you a song by none other than Cece Winans on being still and having God intervene in your life and move the pieces :). Below is the video, please enjoy.  In Psalm 46:10 from the Bible, it states "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted into the earth." We, as God's children, need to be still for God is the true ruler of the Heavens and the earth and will have all things work out for our good. I will also share with you the lyric version below as well. Have a great day :).
