  Spiritual work and a spiritual life are unspoken and unnoticed daily activities known to man. You might say to me - but that's obvious. But because of the space we find ourselves in, other things take precedence over our spiritual time. We find people priding themselves in the work ethic and how much they have built, good as that is one can neglect the spiritual growth needed to enjoy the finer things in life. In order to have a fulfilled life your spirit has to be a happy one. A person on their deathbed will always express the importance of enjoying life, they hardly mention the need for money and assets as they slip onto the other side. People may even say spiritual activities are designated for certain people. However, connections with God are not always smooth sailing. This is because there are multiple ways that your spirit might connect with God. Questions I have for you are, are you aware of how to connect with God?

I said no in church, no to my family, no t...

There comes a point when being consumed by everything needs to stop. You find the people around you boring. The family drama draining. That’s when being still needs to happen for you to hear your soul whisper: ‘‘take care of me please. I am starving for attention. I’m hungry for affection’. I turned 26, then 27.
