One minute you’re the strong one holding it all together for everyone else, next minute you’re the one who needs the prayers and His strength to even get through the day. Been there more times than I can count.

Noah built an ark before the rain came. That's the strategy of faith: prepare while others see no reason to prepare. Don't wait for visible evidence before obeying God. Your next instruction is the bridge between today's uncertainty and tomorrow's testimony.

Grandma discovers that her grandson has been spending the whole Sunday on his phone instead of helping around the house. What follows is a battle between old-school wisdom and modern technology. 😂🏠
GRANDMA: Young man, put that phone down and go sweep the compound!
GRANDSON: Grandma, I'm doing something important.
GRANDMA: More important than keeping your home clean?
GRANDSON: I'm building my future online.
GRANDMA: Wonderful! When will your future come and wash these dishes?
GRANDSON: Grandma, you don't understand technology.
GRANDMA: And you don't understand a broom. Yet here we are, both struggling with the tools of our generation!
GRANDSON: 😂 Grandma, you're actually funny!
GRANDMA: Laugh all you want. That broom is waiting for your comedy show to end.
GRANDSON: But Grandma, it's Sunday!
GRANDMA: Exactly! Even God rested after working. What have you created this week apart from screen time?
GRANDSON: Grandma, I'm going outside.
GRANDMA: Good. Take the broom. Your followers can watch you create content called "A Day in the Life of a Responsible Grandson."

When love gets a hold of you, even your common sense starts negotiating. 😂❤️

There are times when you are strong, up and running helping others and carrying everyone's burden. And there are times when you become weak and need prayers, God's strength and His divine intervention.

My best friend carried our baby for us.
Two weeks after the birth, she posted online that the baby was hers.
And my husband's.
She said they had slept together and our "surrogacy" was a lie.
People believed her.
Strangers sent me messages calling me a fool.
My own cousin stopped speaking to me.
I said nothing and called our lawyer.

My boss gave me ten minutes to approve a 400,000 dollar payment.
"The CEO needs it now," she said. "If it's late, you're fired."
I was twenty-four. I had a new baby and a mortgage.
I picked up the phone anyway.
Company rules said any new supplier had to be confirmed by phone.
Not by email. Not by the number on the invoice.
By the number in our own staff directory.
So I called the CEO directly.
