  "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many" "For even the Son of Man..." I understand this as, if the Son of Man, Jesus, was called to serve and not be served then surely ,   we are called to do the same - to serve and not be served. This Bible verse is a reminder to us to serve others. This message was originally meant for Jesus's disciples but would also apply to us as we are His disciples today. This verse calls us to follow the example of Jesus, where we live a life of sacrifice and service to one another and to love and care for each-other as He does us.  This Bible verse is a far cry from the reality of life today - where there is a sense of entitlement and a culture of not wanting to help others, looking out for ourselves and ourselves alone and not caring for the needs of others. Yet this is God's word, He expects us to serve, help, sacrifice and love .  We all have God-given talents...

  "Then Jesus said: 'come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.'" It's normal for us to at times feel drained, be it emotionally, physically or both. Sometimes we don't know where or how were going to get the strength to get through the daily tasks we set for ourselves, how we're going to meet work deadlines or the constant demands of life but somehow, we always do, we are still standing despite the challenges we face. The fact that we are able to persevere is no coincidence, it is  purely through the grace of God. He gives us the strength to persevere, to push through even when we are tired and feel we cannot go any further.  This Bible verse reminds us of Jesus's promise to give us rest. All we need do is go to Him with our problems, speak to Him in prayer - sharing our worries and fears with Him. We then need to leave it there, trust Him and believe that He will work it out for us. Simply put, give it to ...

It’s June! Before we know it wedding season will be upon us. The bachelorette party is a big deal, it’s fun, flirty and girly but what is the appropriate dress…what to wear is a question I always find myself asking. There are a few factors to consider when putting together outfits for a bachelorette. 1.       What the bride says goes If the bride or the bridesmaids provide information as to what colours to wear or what colours not to wear DO follow suit. It’s courteous and makes things easier for you in that you can narrow down your outfit idea to a certain colour or omit outfit ideas that do not align with the requested colour. Personally, I don’t like to dictate colours but some people have a preference and that’s fine too. It’s also an opportunity to shop for something new, should you not have anything that fits the request 😊 . The general rule, just like for a wedding, is not to wear white unless the bride requests this. 2.      Theme...

  "I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid." We worry and we are are afraid of many things - we are concerned about our children, the weak economy, we worry about the health and well being of aging parents and are concerned for the state of the world and the future of it,  to mention but a few things. This verse reminds us not to worry or be afraid. It reassures us that God knows what lies ahead for all of us as individuals.  This world pulls us in various directions, it's one thing after another and it's exhausting. This verse reminds us of Gods gift to us, the gift of peace of mind & heart. He is asking us to trust Him in all circumstances even though it is our nature to worry and try to control the outcome of things we have no control over.  God never wanted us to be burdened and afraid. He wants us to be free of these things and to place them fully in His ca...

I’m a girl who grew up in the 90’s – big hair inspired by the 80’s were still a thing, red lips (I’m thinking Cindy Crawford with her signature mole) and smoking cigarettes then too was “cool” (there seems to be a push for this to be cool again – Make. It. Stop.) Another 90’s signifier are “plucked” eyebrows, remember Pamela Anderson from Bay Watch , now think of her brows (not her other distinguishing body part!) or Britney Spears in her debuting music video.   I’ve received many compliments on my naturally shaped brows, which are full and so never took to the plucking trend. I hailed the Kardashian era which made having fuller brows, well shaped and gelled into place trend. I felt right at home! Lately, I’ve been noticing a shift back to the skinny brow. Kendall Jenner and Olivia Rodrigo are amongst celebs sporting thinner brows. So, are thin brows making a come-back? Let’s take a look. According to Teen Vogue, my observations are correct – thin brows are making a comeback ...

  "My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me." As we experience life, its hardships and its blessings we come to see Gods hand in it all. Emerging on the other side of the valleys of life, one especially learns that God has carried us through and when we marvel at the wonderful things in our life and in the world we cannot help but to see how God has blessed us. How then can our souls not cling to He whom has never left our side and never let us down.  Today, let us give thanks to God for never abandoning us, lets give thanks for both good and bad life experiences because ultimately they become our testimony to Gods steadfastness and how good He has been to us.  Amen.
