Relocating islands and coming to a new school has gotten me thinking a lot. As I had to readjust to a new city and a new workplace, I started reflecting on what I have done, what I am doing and what I will continue or stop doing..

  • Knowing God is Knowing Your Purpose

    All throughout the Old Testament, we see this phrase that signifies the sovereignty of God and His unchanging character.
