Wow. As I sat and listened to this incredible tribute to Darren Dutchyshen, it got me thinking...about life & the legacy I desire to leave behind.
You ever thought about what people would say about you at your funeral? Or what would be written in your obibituary?
It's important.
After hearing this video, and listening to the passion Darren brought to his work and his family every day, the enthusiasm he showed every day no matter what and the ability he had to connect with others, touched me. Take a listen.

James Duthie, Jennifer Hedger and Rod Smith share their favourite stories of their long-time colleague and good friend Darren Dutchyshen.

Today I was reminded of this passage:
Psalm 23:4 ᴇᴠᴇɴ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜ ɪ ᴡᴀʟᴋ ᴛʜʀᴏᴜɢʜ ᴛʜᴇ ᴠᴀʟʟᴇʏ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱʜᴀᴅᴏᴡ ᴏꜰ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ, ɪ ᴡɪʟʟ ꜰᴇᴀʀ ɴᴏ ᴇᴠɪʟ, ꜰᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴍᴇ; ʏᴏᴜʀ ʀᴏᴅ ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜʀ ꜱᴛᴀꜰꜰ, ᴛʜᴇʏ ᴄᴏᴍꜰᴏʀᴛ ᴍᴇ.

🥰 Here's the thing, the valley, represents what you're going through, the darkness. And in this valley you must go through it, so that you can see the other side. It may feel hard, tuff and difficult, but your character is being called to grow...so that you can truly step into your destiny that is waiting.

🎇The other thing to consider, is that you can only see a "shadow" when there is LIGHT. But there is an object that is blocking the light, so you see a shadow.

If you are in this dark valley right now, just know that it's time to go through, and not stay stuck there. Lean on your support. Reach out if you need to. God's truly got you. You just gotta decide.

This picture represents the light that is available for you today. Isnt it interesting how the sun is at the centre of what looks like a cross.
The signs are always there for you.
Your character is being called to higher levels. Bless you.

When we’re in 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑, what do we do?
WE take 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐋 of things, which is in our own might. This keeps us from surrendering to God’s will and allowing him to work his miracles, signs & wonders.
We gotta let go of control and get to the root of why we do it. It’s a journey. Doesnt happen over night. But, with the right people you can move through it rather quickly and release it so that

Release. Repent. Realign. Rejoice. Repeat.

If you’re a business owner, I’m curious why you’re not going ALL IN?
Why aren’t you investing & putting skin in the game?
What’s really stopping you?
Build the courage to have the faith and go all in. Tonight, I made a decision to go all in.
There’s no stopping now.
Truly, there’s so much abundance in the world and the good lord wants to give you a piece of it.
❤️He wants to bless you.❤️
However, it takes faith to move the needle.
It takes persistence.
It takes consistency.
It takes courage.
It takes belief.
It takes the right mindset.
It requires you to go all in. If you’re dibbling & dabbling over here——then you’re dancing over there—-then you’re drowning.
🏊🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️you’re drowning in your own pool of chaos & calamity.
You’re barely keeping your head above water.
Maybe you’re constantly being hit with circumstantial s #*%. It feels like you’re constantly picking up the pieces and rebuilding.
If that’s you, please choose one thing and give it your all. Go ALL IN. For, when you do, I can assure you there will be blessing after blessing.
Ready, set, GO! 🐾🐾🐾

I was literally wrecked by these 2 hands today.

❤️love poured through me like I’ve never felt before❤️

It was undeniable. Unconditional. All encompassing. Filled every part of me kind of love.

There was a reverence for this couple whom I’ve never met, never seen and never spoke to ever.

Complete strangers.

They had to be about 80 years old or more. I watched them praise the lord and give thanks from a few rows away. The woman went to sit down after awhile, and as she sat, she grabbed her husbands hand, as you see in the first picture.

Tears began streaming down my face. Love filled my heart, my soul and my spirit.

It was beautiful to witness. And then…

My mind went to thoughts of never witnessing this kind of love with my own parents. My heart sunk, for a moment. The feelings of unlove, unappreciation and wrath. BUT I said no, not today Satan, you’re not going to steal the joy in this moment.

I’m basking in this love these 2 strangers had on me today—perhaps never even knowing they had this impact on me today…

But the lord sees it all.

So it boils down to the question “what do you want to remembered for?”

It’s not how big of bank account you have, or how fancy your clothes are, or what size your house is——what do you truly want to be remembered for?

I witnessed today, a beautiful example of what love is, and felt it in every ounce of my being. Today, I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank u 80 year old couple for breaking thru another barrier for me today in tapping into the love of god.

Sometimes the pressure in life seems too much🥵🥵
Don’t let the pressure confine you.
Allow it to refine you.
It is just a SEASON, not a LIFE SENTENCE.

𝕻𝖗𝖔𝖕𝖍𝖊𝖙𝖎𝖈 𝖁𝖎𝖘𝖎𝖔𝖓: (shared from a sister)

🔥Not too long ago, I saw a vision of many people who had arrows stuck in their backs. The pain from these arrows made the people move slow and sluggish. 🔥🌱

🏹The Father then spoke, saying, “These arrows symbolize betrayal in relationships. Betrayal can severely wound; it has many faces. Sometimes it’s gossip, slander, jealousy, competition, rejection, or abandonment.”🏹

💋I then saw the Father walk up to the wounded. He would lead them to forgive those who betrayed them. He would then pull out the arrow and the wound would immediately heal. Instead of throwing it away, He would then place the arrow in the person’s hand.

❤️The Father then said, “I’m healing wounds from betrayal in relationships. I had the formerly wounded keep the arrow that once harmed them as a reminder. When you are willing to be healed from relational wounds, you receive increased discernment in relationships.”
