Welcome to Kenze's blog

As we draw the curtain on 2017, I've taken time to reflect on this year, vis-a-vis my successes (gains) and failures (mistakes). This has led to me to think through what hs been my motivation through the months. Words they say, never fade away. They last a lifetime. Even the Holy Bible says heaven and earth will pass away but God's word will remain the same. Against this backdrop, I'll like to share a few quotes that have kept me going and focused as well as helped overcome certain obstacles I've had to face. These few positive and motivational quotes have been my inspiration and have guided as well as guarded my thoughts over the years. Sharing they say is caring. Here are a few life quotes that would be helpful to you in 2018; *The true measure of a man's character is what you do when you think you would never be found out. *You are most likely to act yourself into feeling than feel yourself into action.  *A life in which anything goes will ultimately be a l...

Complaining is dangerous . It can damage or even destroy your relationship with God, your relationships with other people, and even with your relationship with yourself.  It’s easy to complain. We likely don’t realize how much we do it. I believe it’s one of the most challenging things to overcome.Philippians 2:14 says, Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining…. That’s a pretty clear command. And not something anyone can do in their own way ; Like I said before, it’s easy to complain. There are many things that happen every day that we could murmur about. But they really aren’t worth the effort it takes to get upset and gripe about it. For example, we travel a lot and stay in a lot of hotels. I like to take a hot bath to relax before speaking at our conferences. Once when I went to fix my bath, I discovered there was no hot water. So I called the front desk to see about getting hot , but they weren’t able to fix the problem when I needed them to. And l...

I usually get up early so I can read and think and drink a little coffee before the rest of my family is awake. A couple of days ago, I looked over and saw Tony asleep in bed when I got out of the shower, and my stomach was instantly in knots. I had gone to bed early the night before because I was in a foul mood. We were working together on our new #staymarried group, but our hard drive had crashed. We had minimal programs, no printer set-up, no ink for the printer. It was a big irritating mess and a giant waste of my time. Tony was working through the tech stuff, and of course that irritated me, too. Waste of time, all of it. Bleh. I’m going to bed! Now, after a full night’s rest, I saw more clearly that I’d been fantastically rude and taken my frustration out on him. I saw him sleeping and I knew I needed to apologize. Bleh, again! I hate apologizing. I mean, why can’t I just be grumpy and even a little mean when I feel like it? Why can’t we all just mov...

​APPRECIATING BEING SINGLE CAN BE AS DIFFICULT AS SEEING THE FOREST THROUGH THE TREES. Sometimes it seems like it just can’t happen – especially when you consider yourself to be a “relationship person.” It almost feels like a part of you is missing even though you know that’s absurd logic. So, instead of beating yourself down for wanting a relationship, focus on taking advantage of the time you have by yourself so you can be 100% ready to roll when you do find your certain special human. Not only will you feel more confident about your current relationship status NOW, but you’ll also be better off LATER. Here is what to focus on while being single so you can be the best version of yourself once you meet the right person for you: GET IN THE HABIT OF BEING SELFISH I said it. Get in the habit of putting yourself first now, because trust me, once a romantic interest comes along, that is going to go flying out the window. I don’t want ...
