I grew up in a big family. I have seven sisters and three brothers. At a young age, I was introduced to God and prayer; till this day I’m still connected to him. My lifestyle is therefore pretty simple…God first and everything else follow. Sometimes it’s easier to focus on what we don’t have, rather than what we do have. It’s important for me to take time out and remember all of the things to be thankful for that many of us take for granted. I have a pretty optimistic personality and tend to always see things positively😃 Enjoying everything He has made is how I start my day. Giving God thanks and praise for everything small and great.

I use my prayer list (changes from time to time) as a tool to remind myself to pray for people, needs etc and it's a reminder of God's faithfulness. I also use a prayer journal so that I can look back at answered prayers followed by my daily devotional Bible App. I don't always do this in the same order or all at once, throughout the day I would pick one. However, I do start the day with prayer!

Lastly, remember if you’re not happy with your lifestyle, change it! It’s never too late to start new habits and build a new perspective on life.

Life’s too short to not be thankful!
