There is no regret in Obedience

It’s a guarantee your life will never be the same again when you obey God. God is our CREATOR and our DIRECTOR meaning he knows the best way for our lives since he loves us, our role is to simply OBEY Him. Obedience is everything when we are relating to God. Obedience is the KEY ingredient in the kingdom of God. God is always ready to manifest himself in our lives when we obey Him and his word(John 14:23 Jesus Replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.

How I Landed A Real-World Dev Job In 6 Months

Hello, world! I recently landed my first role as a Web Developer with a local company and it all started with Codecademy.

Not only had she been having suicidal thoughts, but she’d given way to them and walked right into traffic.   Did she attempt suicide? Were the thoughts she’d been having lately that dire? And had the situation com

“The Sun Will Rise, And We Will Try Again”

what it means is that tomorrow is always a new day, and we all have a chance at a new beginning. Yesterday’s sadness doesn't have to carry into today; the sunsets on the bad and rises with hope for a better day. I tell myself this when I have a day that is personally hard or frustrating, and it reminds me to live for the future
