Faith Music: Oceans (Where My Feet May Fail) by Hillsong United 4:37 PM Oceans by Hillsong United is one of the songs with the most profound lyrics I've heard about our imperfect faith and God's infinite love. His perfect love is greater than our imperfections. In our weakness, He is at His strongest. Where our human frailty limits us, He can do the impossible and bring us farther than we can wander. Our dead end is just the beginning of a new detour He has planned for us. Nothing can limit His greatness. With all that's going on right now, I thought it's right to share this music again. Let us remember how blessed we are. Let us remember how powerful our God is. He can part the ocean to let His people go. He can heal the sick and even raise the dead. There is nothing God cannot do. Let us declare in faith that this too shall pass. Our God is great than this virus. Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep? Have the gates of death been shown to you? Have you seen the gates of the deepest darkness? Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know all this. -Job 38: 16-18 First published: 06/22/2014 8:57 PM
Quotes Don't Pursue If You're Not Ready 9:47 PM Don't pursue a heart if you're not ready. Don't pursue a heart you're not ready to be loyal to. Pursuing someone for fun or just to pass the time is insolence. It is a show of disrespect to three persons: It is disrespecting the other person's time and feelings. It is an insult to their worth. It is disrespecting the other person's future spouse. You took something that belongs to them and tainted it. Finally, it is disrespecting yourself. You are better than that. Once you realize that you are precious and see other people the same way, you will not make hasty moves. You will wait for the right person at the right moment. Believe me, you'll know when you know. Just listen to your heart. If you pursue someone knowing all too well that you will not be loyal to that person, you will make decisions that you will regret. It can get messy. Spare yourself and others of this trouble. Be in a relationship only when you're ready, not when you're lonely. Dating with no intent to marry is like going to the grocery story with no money. You either leave unhappy or take something that isn't yours. - Jefferson Bethke 01/31/14 9:18 AM Want more quotes? Follow About Life and Love on Instagram
Life Lessons Don't Dull Your Sparkle 11:14 PM Don't Dull Your Sparkle Don't dull your sparkle for people who choose to be in the dark. Some people would be bothered by how bright you shine. You remind them how dark their life is. Don't adjust for them. They've made their choice. It's time to make yours. You'll hear a lot of criticisms. You will be judged. They will try to dampen your spirit. They will laugh at your dreams. That's because they see you as the odd one. It may be because they envy you without understanding how they're feeling. They may be just confused admirers. As long as you're not hurting a soul, don't be bothered. Don't dull your sparkle for those who think your brightness is a nuisance. You are born to do great things. Don't delay your destiny just to please them. Some people are going to reject you just because you shine too brightly for them.That's okay! Keep shining. -Mandy Hale Want more quotes? Follow About Life and Love on Instagram
Life Lessons The Grass Is Greener Where You Water It 9:26 PM The grass isn't always greener on the other side. The grass is greener where you water it. Don't be deceived by envy. Sometimes the grass on the other side seem greener only because it's fake. Nourish what you have. Cherish who you have in your life. Never compare your beginning to somebody else's ending. We all have our own timing. We all have our fair share of blessings. Instead of wanting what others have that you don't, be happy for them and be grateful for what you have. Someone's praying for the kind of life you have. You are blessed more than you think. Quit looking over your shoulder and comparing your life with the next person. Comparison is the thief of joy. - Theodore Roosevelt Want more quotes? Follow About Life and Love on Instagram

The cities below list the top five most expensive cities in Canada to live in: Vancouver, British Columbia Toronto, Ontario Victoria, British Columbia Calgary, Alberta Hamilton-Burlington, Ontario Salary Average in Canada Keeping the cost of living in mind, the other key factor is how much you’ll make. Depending on where you choose to live in Canada, your salary can vary considerably as employers make up for their city’s value. If you aren’t planning on keeping your job at home, the following stats will give you a rough idea of the salary you should expect in Montreal or Toronto. Toronto Cashier: $ 21,100 Copywriter: $ 35,200 Financial Analyst: $52,000 Graphic Designer: $38,000 Product Manager: $70,000 Receptionist: $24,000 Software Engineer: $58,000 Teacher: $40,000 Montreal Cashier: $ 16,300 Copywriter: $ 33,500 Financial Analyst: $42,800 Graphic Designer: $33,800 Product Manager: $59,400 Receptionist: $22,500 Software Engineer: $52,100 Teacher: $37,900 Cost of Housing and Accommodation Regardless of where you move in the world, rent will always be one of the most critical items of your budget, typically 35% to 50% of your monthly expenses.

Like most countries with this kind of healthcare, it is funded by the country’s tax system. To retain the no-cost programme, the average person spends about C$4,200 a year, while a family of four costs about C$11,800. While taxes at that point may seem pretty high for foreigners, Canadians generally accept that it’s not too much to pay for the fairly free healthcare system, as they can retain relatively good health. The Travel and Transportation Prices in Canada Canadians tend to drive everywhere, much like their southern counterparts in the U.S. That said, biking’s popularity at work is on the rise. In fact, some neighbourhoods in Halifax, Vancouver, and Quebec City see 20 percent of travellers coming to work by bike, although this statistic drops significantly through the cold winter months. It is also common for people in major cities to use public transportation, buses, and trains, while cars are king in the Canadian commute. Also noteworthy is the prevalence of air travel, as Canada is a large country, and more than cars and trains are needed for longer trips, particularly from coast to coast. Gasoline (1 litre / 0.25 gallon) $1.02 Monthly Bus/Transport Pass $91 Bus Ticket, Single Use $3.15 Taxi Tariff, 30 Minutes $16 Toyota Corolla, New $21,449 VW Golf, New $23,000 Cost of Education Like most other nations, Canadians enjoy a free public school system for children up to 18 years of age. Prices in Canada are relatively low for higher education compared to U.S. schools, although they are somewhat less competitive than in European countries, where universities are often government-subsidized. The table below will give you an idea of the cost of education in Canada. Preschool / Kindergarten: $12,204 Private school for lower grades: $16,000 University of Toronto tuition: $6,400 (residents)/ $44,020 (non-residents) York University tuition: $7,312 (residents)/ $22,417 (non-residents) Canada has always been regarded as a great place to live. Depending on where you choose to stay, it can be very cheap for its relatively high quality of life. In the major cities, too, Canada appears to be more accessible, not to mention Tim Horton, hockey, and hills. How can eTA Canada Help?
