Keep God first!



Creating a Family Team

...Keep God first! 

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33

As a teen, I often heard adults advising us youngsters to "Keep God first!" Unfortunately, I didn't have a clue about how to do it. 😒  As I got older, I read the scripture, Matthew 6:33 and I learned why I needed to keep God first. 😊 However, I still didn't know how to do it. 😒

Well, thankfully I FINALLY learned some ways to do it.  It wasn't difficult at all!  Yay!!!  Here are a few ways that I learned to do it:

1.  Pray upon rising 
2.  Pray before making decisions 
3.  Pray before calling others for advice

I tell ya, this has been very helpful for my family and I.  It helps us to do the right things and win as a family team.

As for other part of this scripture, "and his righteousness".  Humm....I wasn't sure how to do this one either.  😞 Sometime ago, people used to wear bracelets with WWJD on them. It stood for, "What Would Jesus Do".  What a great idea!  I definitely learned from it.  When seeking His righteousness, I think it is important to ask yourself, "What would Jesus do?" then do it.   In doing so, we take on His character traits and begin to receive the blessings from God.  It's so beautiful to experience it individually and as a family team.

Sacrifice & Support

  Kenyan Living Experience (Click Here to see the site) Oh my! I completely forgot about this site! 😒I started it when we first left the US and moved to Kenya, East Africa. 😁 lol. I had no idea we'd still be in Africa almost 12 years later...now living in Ghana. 😇  I took a one year leave of absence from my corporate job at GE to support my hubby with his new role and help the family transition. Time quickly passed and I never returned to GE. My career shifted into many other directions (which I never ever expected) and our family grew with one more child. 😊 Oh la...la....To God be the glory! Now, almost 12 years later, we're still in Africa...now in Ghana, West Africa (for almost 10 years). The journey continues......😇 As I looked at this site, I though it would be good to share again. I have many friends and family who never visited Africa. So, I hope by sharing these pictures you'll get a glimpse of life here and key moments of the transition. Just sharing.....

Help each other...

Creating a Family Team ...Help each other... " And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. "  Galatians 6:9 We all have such busy lives.  It's so easy to get really consumed with our own agenda and overlook the needs of the family team.   In the picture above, I had to capture the moment of my husband and son.  My husband had such a busy day, but our son really needed help with his online project.  I wanted to cover for my husband to help our son, but I knew that my husband really wanted to help him himself.  They worked late into the night encountering so many system issues that I frustrated my husband so much (Oh la...la...), yet he persisted.  They went as far as they could go, but still couldn't finish the task.   Curious to find another solution, my husband and I discussed other possible options.  The next day, I worked with our son to try the second option.  Everything worked!  Yay!...

Encourage everyone to keep a VISION and to continue to broadening their HORIZONS!

Encourage everyone to keep a VISION  a nd to continue broadening their HORIZONS!    "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." Proverbs 29:18 "You can only see your current horizon.  Every time you move nearer to your desired destination, new horizons will become clear.  New, previously hidden, opportunities will come into view."  Chris Murray Years ago when my husband and I moved from the US to Kenya, East Africa, we knew it was an opportunity for us to broaden our horizons and to make our visions a reality.  As we began to have children, we wanted to show our children the "world" so they could also keep a vision and broad horizon as they grew.   Juggling through many conflicting demands, we managed to seize every travel opportunity that came our way.  On this particular picture, we were in Spain.  It wasn't a planned photo shoot.  Once I saw how cute they looked, lined up across a bric...
