Ingredients for a Jambalaya Life

Life is NOT about YOU.

When life is all about us we will never experience a full, abundant life

2. Learn to love and forgive Others

Life is all about love.

You have to intentionally chosen to Love and Forgive Others and Yourself.

Learning to Love and forgive others starts with your choice.

Offense and unforgiveness kill your faith.
