Patience

-
Hello Friends,
"Knowing this, that the trying of your faith working patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire wanting nothing" (James 1:3-4)



First of all understand that when trials come, it is targeted at your faith. That is why the book of Jude 1:3 says "..earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." The Spirit of God through His Apostle warns the church to be on guard. 

Every attack is launched at your Faith and one of the most important ingredient needed to keep up your faith in the midst of trial is PATIENCE. 

A lot of people don't understand the word PROCESS. We want to jump the ladder cus we want to catch up with our peers or we feel pressured. People panic and get agitated for various wrong reasons. You must understand that as our callings are different so are the tracks we run on. 

The Bible says in Philippians 4:6..."Be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."  It is okay to be concerned about your progress level but avoid competing with others and learn the art of waiting in anticipation for your expectations to be done. Our text reveals that Patience is necessary for the  perfecting of the saint. 

Keep your eyes on Jesus, stay connected through His Spirit to His word and align yourself with His will and you will experience the salvation of the Lord no matter how long it takes. God is faithful  and will not break His word cus His integrity never fails.
Shalom!

The Iceberg Model: A Systems Thinking Tool

-
Hello my Trendsetting Teens, Today, we want to use this model to explain Systems Thinking as a tool to solve problems and receive desired outcomes. Imagine an iceberg, where: Above the waterline (Visible): Events : The tip of the iceberg, representing individual incidents or symptoms (e.g., a conflict, a problem, or an issue). Below the waterline (Hidden): Patterns : The layer beneath events, revealing recurring themes, cycles, or relationships (e.g., communication breakdowns, power struggles). Structures : The underlying framework, including rules, roles, and processes that shape the system (e.g., organizational design, social norms). Mental Models : The deepest layer, comprising assumptions, beliefs, and values that influence our perceptions and actions (e.g., biases, worldviews). Systems Thinking Connection: Events are symptoms of underlying patterns, structures, and mental models. Addressing only events (the tip) won't solve the problem; we must explore and understand the hidde

DON'T DWELL, POUNCE

 Hi Friend, It is almost getting to the end of a season called 2023 and many are currently taking stock of how the year went. For some, they had many wins, they celebrated, while others, are in a state of gloominess over too many losses they think they recorded. I am sorry to hear that you didn't close the deal, buy the house, get to make the changes and change the trajectory of your life within the time frame you set for yourself but have you ever stop to think that it is not over until it is over? They could be many reasons why it didn't work as planned and you have two options to consider; 1. To either look into the origin of the issue so you can resolve it, learn from it so you can proceed with caution, and instruct others  2. Alternatively, you can choose to reside in a temporary dwelling of self-pity and indulge in sorrow over your losses.  Having a RESPONSE ready is essential for handling life's inevitable challenges. 'But how can I do that?' I can hear you s
