But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.(1 John 3:17-18)   Reach out to those that are in need.We have been blessed by God so we should take time to bless others. We do not choose our backgrounds and we do not choose the challenges that come our way but we can choose to do something about it. We can choose to help those who cannot help themselves,those who are helpless. We can start by praying for them,our prayers go a long way. God hears and he answers prayers.Pray for them just the way you would want someone to pray for you if you were in their situation. Your prayers make a difference. Let us also take time out of our busy schedule and reach out to the needy and show love. We really do not need to look too far,there are many people who need our help who are around us. L...

Rainbow Cake!! I just felt this was such a unique cake and it also lightens up my mood. Here is a tutorial I found online, its nice and easy if you want to try it.

               If you are tired of living a boring and routinized life and wish you could be different and be living out your dreams, well this is for you. Sometimes people get good jobs,have a family,friends and they still feel like something is missing.Sometimes it is not about the money they get from whatever job they are doing,purpose gives fulfillment and joy regardless of the amount of money being received. I once heard of a medical doctor who was being paid well and would be considered as successful by others but she didn't feel fufilled.When she discovered her purpose she quit her job as a doctor and went into interior designing where she was more successful and she found fulfillment. Purpose is the reason for your existence,the reason you were created.Without fulfilling purpose, your entire existence as been wasted. When you are in line with purpose, life becomes easier,you derive joy and satisfaction...

A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it. -- George Moore  There is nowhere else to be but with your loved ones this Holiday.Nomatter how much we go around in search of purpose, career, money etc, home is just that place where you are accepted and loved just as you are.Though there are disagreements and challenges, nothing can be compared to the Happy moments we all share with our families which become cherished memories for days when we are far away from our loved ones and we crave the warmth and belonging that we experience with our families. After four months of being away from home,I'm excited to be heading back home.I have sincerely missed the love and the encouragement. In a few days, i will be seeing all my family members and everyone would have probably changed so much. I hope you are all as excited as i am about going home for the Holiday,there is really no place like home. For those who arent looking forward to it,...

Your circumstances should not determine your mood or attitude,you have the power to choose how you want to feel when you are facing challenges.Here are a few Tips on being joyful and happy:  Have Faith:  After praying; believe that everything will work out for good and that the situation would not last forever.It will one day come to an end.Just believe that God is able.         'And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus'        (Philippians 4:19)     2. Smile: Always put a smile on your face even when you don't feel like it. A smile has the power to  change your mood.     3. Do not complain: instead of complaining about the things around you which you do not like,just simply look on the bright side and speak about those things which are good.Complaining only makes the situation worse because your words are powerful,speak positively a...

Hey guys, this is my first post and it really got me thinking about beginnings and starting new things that are outside our comfort zone or something we have been planning on doing but always procrastinated.Though it might seem like the year is already coming to an end but remember,everyday is a new beginning and an opportunity to start all over. Go through your list of your new year's revolution for this year and see the ones that you might have abandoned or forgotten.
