Why Did We Start BSFP?

Image
I grew up in a culture that lived by the "community raises up the young people." We didn't have so much exposure to technology and social media wasn't the mainstream (good, bad and indifferent). We were focused on school, good grades and making a better tomorrow. We also didn't have as many distractions as exist today that leave our youth bewildered and feeling out of place and unmotivated. Today, if youth don't look a certain way, come from a certain economic status, have a certain style about them, they don't fit in. The desire to seek higher education is of less importance to youth today and school systems are losing the ability to keep them motivated and inspired. It’s hard to compete with what the world is offering as "immediate" but temporary gratification.  Youth, today, are not as driven as they can be, they are unfulfilled, distracted, unmotivated and uninspired. They are being influenced by standards that: ·       Don'

Health Matters

Your health does matter! Don't take it for granted. One of the most valuable prized possessions is your health! In order to achieve the things, you want requires you to pay attention to it. Now, let’s get rid of all negative influences. I am sure we have all tried at one point to improve one area of our lives or another and have found that it is hard. Fact is everything "change oriented" requires work, patience and time. Some reasons we give up or find that we struggle to meet that goal are those negative influences that we neglect to clear out. These influences flood our minds and space, creating a barrier between where we are and where we want to be. These influences can be anything, anything that we know we shouldn't do, shouldn't have but do and have anyway. Taking back control of your health is a liberating feeling. Make it an enjoyably fun journey. This journey will encourage you to get rid of poor habits and raise your living standards. I

Love

To love isn’t about knowing all of the right things to say or do or obeying a list of rules that tell you how to love. It’s something more, something costlier, because it involves being present and making a sacrifice. Giving up the "you" for partnership. The world can make you think that love can be picked up at a garage sale or enveloped in a Hallmark card. That's definitely not the case! Love is action, Jesus died for our sins because His father loved us that much. He walked on earth and was present with us because He had that much affection for us and wanted to be present. Love doesn't say it's going to...it just does. Love is action, not words. Today, "I love you" has lost its meaning because it's used out of context. I messed up, I'm sorry but I still love you. I love you so much but don't know why I did what I did or said what I said. I should have known better but I acted in a moment of weakness, it doesn't mean I don&#

Time

Time... No matter who you are, we are all given only 24 hours in a day. The demands of the day may leave us overwhelmed and we find ourselves saying 24 hours is just not enough. The choices we make concerning our hours today do in fact influence the foundation of our future. We do our best to be over “productive” creating extensive to do lists and find we barely get through the first two items. Something new always come up. “Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.” ― H. Jackson Brown Jr.” Staying busy doesn’t necessarily mean we are working harder and going to be more successful, it means we haven’t quite mastered the “work smarter, not harder” tactic. I have spent my life constantly running around, “staying busy” until I realized it was leading me to mindless “productivity”. I did a lot but
