2019

Dear friends,

It's been a while. In the past year, I have been blessed to be offline and had spent time in developing relationships, a reflective and God-centered lifestyle that enabled me to embrace my gifts and to take them to a new level. That enabled me to have plenty of rest, to fuel my heart to connect maturely and grow with other deep-thinking individuals, and to be creative in learning and creating new gifts in life.

I continued my meditation of the Word throughout 2018, and have read/listened/meditated through mostly the first 3 Gospels 15-20 times, and it has given me more wisdom and clarity, especially in exploring and establishing deeper connections with people that are like-minded, and deeper understanding of myself. This year, I will continue to do this and enjoy the fruits that I reap, as promised in Joshua 1:9, a life of prosperity and success. And though I don't particularly ascribe to any prosperity teachings, I do believe that when we follow closely with God, He will bless our hands and our works so that through the prosperity of wisdom and financial management, we can build His kingdom through giving to and blessing others, and creating lasting change in the world.

And so with that, I have stepped into 2019 meditating on how I can use my gifts and provision from God to gift and to multiply it to create bigger and bigger ripples starting by investing in the smallest things, for it is written in Luke 16:10, "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much."

Thus, I step into 2019, hopeful for God's gifts to multiply through my creative thoughts and ideas, with the goal of blessing others and building the Kingdom.

Blessings,

James
