This week was a ruckus of emotions as I had to deal with an unexpected instruction that set me on a whirlwind of thoughts. Now, before you panic it was not a life-or-death situation but simply a decision that I had to make (still do), a weighty one for me and one that many would…
There are certain positions that were intended by God to reflect and honour Him and with those positions, a certain character is expected. The book of Proverbs highlights characteristics that do not fit the righteous or ones that do not fit the wicked. This is also true of leadership positions like that of a King.…
This week I was reminded of how much the Christian life is centered on waiting on the LORD. There is so much waiting and waiting well. While we wait, we are called to persevere and to continue to spread the aroma of Christ around the world (2 Corinthians 2:15); we are called to make disciples…
