Step out of your comfort zone for new possibilities.
Be Brave
Take risks. There is no “try” if you don’t take action. It may not get you the results you are looking for. Keep on at it until you get the result you want. Nothing can substitute experience.
Just send in your prayer requests / petitions, and I will pass them on to HIM when HE calls next.
We’ve got Lensia who asks that her aging father be comforted in his time of illness. We’ve got K, the 13 year old girl who will be going for spinal surgery to remove fluid so that she can stand and walk properly again without any hindrances…
I am just the messenger, that answers HIS call and sends your prayer petitions to HIM. I do not perform miracles. Only GOD, HIMSELF answers your prayers, in HIS time.
It is Christmas. You too, can join in and pray for all those who lift their prayers and petitions here.
Laura was like any other 12 year old girl, back in year 2013. Maybe, a bit different than most others. She had goals and she had determination. When she was 9 years old, she declared that she wanted to be a world champion swimmer. Three years later, she was still as determined as ever in getting there.
Her coach told her that she would need to go to the U.S., to train amongst the best to have a shot at being world champion. That is what she decided she would do.
Laura quickly rose the ranks to be amongst the top 3 breaststroke swimmers for her age group in Malaysia. At the same time, she kept abreast with the latest swim developments in the U.S.
In 2019, she was focused on Entrepreneurial Studies and swimming. Millikin University was the perfect fit.
Millikin University presented her a programme which allowed her and other students to explore, grow and develop ideas and at the same time, pursue competitive swimming, representing Millikin Swimming.

Now, as the next phase or chapter of her life begins; Laura is actively working towards achieving them.
So, if your young child has fuzzy ideas, and says that he wants to be a paleontologist, or an inventor that will come up with a control to keep all A.I. machines in check; or she wants to be a world renowned fashion designer; help them develop that interest. You may just never know…
1. How to put your point across, negotiate, 2. How to take a fall if it does not go as well as plan, 3. How to get up from a fall, 4. How to get up, 5. How to accept that there can be differences of opinion in the end.
