It's Your Journey!

"Our lives are a reflection of what we say, what we believe, what we choose, what we do, and our struggle to change these things. If there is anything that life teaches us during our journey, it is that our focus should be on acquiring knowledge, being confident in who we are, and adding value to our life and the lives of others."

Do You Believe In Miracles?...Mike Ericksen

I truly believe we can either see the connections, celebrate them, and express gratitude for our blessings, or we can see life as a string of coincidences that have no meaning or connection.

For me, I’m going to believe in miracles, celebrate life, rejoice in the views of eternity and hope my choices will create a positive ripple effect in the lives of others. This is my choice.

--Mike Ericksen, Upon Destiny's Song

Lessons Learned in a Garden...Renita J. Weems

I’ve learned that some of the most important lessons can be learned through the simple act of gardening. One of the most important things I have learned from gardening magazines is that regardless of which bulb I choose, inside every bulb is everything it needs to become what it was created to be. The daffodil bulb has everything it needs to become a daffodil. 

Likewise with each one of us, everything you need to become who you really are supposed to be is already in you. Your destiny has already been imprinted in your soul. All you’re looking for is the right place to be planted; the right amount of light, the right amount of water. But who you are supposed to be, who God created you to be, what you are supposed to be doing is already in you. It's not out there. It’s like that daffodil bulb. It’s already in you, and your purpose in life is to find out your purpose in life.
