"BETTER THAN I " BY MATT-Q AND DORCAS QUEK https://lnkd.in/gY9ZRpnP Inspired by the story of Joseph from the Bible's book of Genesis, Matt-Q's "Better Than I" is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments of our lives, there is a higher plan at work. Joseph endured incredible trauma—betrayed by his own brothers, misunderstood, imprisoned, and surrounded by pain. Yet, through all the hardships, God was silently and actively working behind the scenes, preparing an eventual turnabout that would not only save Joseph but also his family and countless others. His suffering wasn't meaningless; it was part of a much larger plan that stretched far beyond his understanding. "Better Than I" speaks to this profound truth: that when we only see fragmented pieces of the puzzle, our adversities often feel hopeless and pointless. Yet, faith calls us to trust in the One who sees the entire picture, who loves us deeply and knows what is truly good for us, even when we can’t comprehend it. This song reminds us that we often think we know better, but when we act on our limited perspective, we can make choices that we might regret for a lifetime. The consequences of our words and actions can ripple further than we ever imagined. "Better Than I" is an invitation to release our worries and trust in God’s wisdom, knowing that He is in control and has a plan far better than we could ever conceive. Join us as we reflect on the timeless message of this song and the importance of trusting in a higher plan, especially when we can't see the whole picture. 🙏✨ 🔔 Don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more faith-inspired music reflections. 🔔 #MattQ #BetterThanI #JosephInTheBible #FaithAndTrust #GodsPlan #OvercomingAdversity #MusicWithMeaning #ChristianMusic

✨ The smallest acts of kindness can be a catalyst for change. 💚 Reflecting back to last week, filled with kindness in the run up to #randomactsofkindness day; each day was filled with kind moments, whether that be colleagues sharing home baked cakes, gifting little chocolates, paying compliments, offering a helping hand, making the tea round for the office, or even simply holding space in support for someone when they need a moment to talk…all small acts that have a big positive impact on both the giver and receiver. Always pay it forward into a joy filled chain reaction. ✨ Being kind is one of our core values in Fieldbay and ivolve care & support 💚 it’s in our DNA, we live our values every day and last week gave us an opportune moment to celebrate the kindest colleagues across our business. The nominations and stories recieved were beyond heart warming. It continued to make me so proud of what we do and who we are…It’s part of our secret sauce! ✨ The short video below illustrates perfectly the power of being kind. Become a RAKtivist and spread kindness around like confetti ✨ #kindnessmatters #corevalues #leadershipdevelopment #mindsetcoach

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this week's The Bridge with #PeterMansbridge's #GoodTalk episode = #politics and #currentaffairs de la semaine highlights &/or low blows "analysis" discussion with #ChantalHébert & Bruce Anderson ... MUST WATCH -- & share widely, from my POV: Especially, if, like me, you're an engaged #citizen-#constituent-#taxpayer avidly "following" #Canada's political scene/s, nationally, regionally, locally -- where at, where headed, etc. in the days, weeks, and months just ahead ... In sum, "the past is prologue" -- for better &/or worse ... -- MCK. ~~~~~ "A wild week for Jagmeet Singh from a #byelection victory to an apparent challenge to Pierre Poilievre to put up the dukes as we used to say. All this in a testy House of Commons of Canada Chambre des communes du Canada where the #Conservatives seem to be losing the battle to force a quick #election. And how about this? The #BlocQuebecois as the next #officialopposition? Chantal and Bruce are ready with their ringside observations." #NDP #Liberals #BlocQuébécois #Conservatives #leaders #leadership #politicians #federal #politicalparties #publictrust #minoritygovernment #commongood #socialcohesion #confidencevote #publicinterest #bodypolitic #societalvalues #ethicsmatter #socialcontract #qcpoli #mnpoli #cdnpoli #globalpoli #globalimpact
