While I was helping my father fix his garden, a revelation from the Lord was given to me. When I first saw my father allowing vines to grow on the outside walls of our house, I was shocked and pissed because it's so ugly. In my thoughts, I wanted to ask my father why would he allow those plants to grow even if it makes our own house a laughing stock for neighbors because they might think we are not taking care of our property. Months have passed until I was able to visit my father's house again. After almost six months, I noticed the changes of the vines on the walls of our house. It looked like a jungle background for a Facebook profile picture! My father asked me to help him trim down leaves and stems that are growing out of the way. Not thinking what it may look like, I did as my father commanded me. When I finished trimming all the uneven leaves, all I began to say was, "This is very good!" I loved how the vines evenly covered our walls. It seemed very cozy an...

I am driven to write this note about myself for 3 reasons: 1) Previously, I asked God what He thought about me when He created me, and He answered. 2) I have known myself in such an overwhelming way, that I need to express it. (Please bear with me.)  3) And I’d like to share to you the Strengths Finder. :) It will help you know the best of who you are. Studies show that if we know our strengths and be motivated to act on it, we become more actively engaged in what we do and we can be more positive and productive. Rath said, "The key to human development is building on  WHO YOU ALREADY ARE." You cannot be anything you want to be but you can be a lot more of who you already are. So this is who I am: CONNECTEDNESS. I believe things happen for a reason. I find it very enthusiastic knowing that we are all connected with one another. Simple ways, like crossing a street with a stranger, spurs a lot of thoughts on how he/she can be connected wi...
