Hi all, my name is Stephan Enslin from Windhoek Namibia. Have a blessed day all 🙏

Someone walks past you at church and doesn’t greet you. Within five minutes your thoughts have produced an entire story: Did I offend her? She definitely saw me. Maybe somebody said something. She was a bit strange last Sunday too… Meanwhile, she left her glasses at home and genuinely didn’t see you. 😂 We do this so easily. Something happens, we give it meaning, and before long we are responding to the story in our head rather than to what actually happened. That is why bringing our thoughts before God matters. Not every conclusion we reach is necessarily the truth, particularly when fear, hurt or previous experiences are helping us fill in the missing pieces. Before you spend your Saturday solving a problem that may not even exist, give yourself a little space and ask: What do I actually know to be true here? And perhaps pray, “Lord, help me see this clearly rather than through my assumptions.” “The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.” — Proverbs 19:8 WEEKEND POLL: Someone reads your WhatsApp and doesn’t reply. Your first thought is: A — They’re probably busy B — Did I say something wrong? C — Rude! Disrespectful ! D — I’ll send another message just in case they somehow missed the first three 😇

After a recent period of trauma, I lost my sense of purpose, trust, and belief. I’m here to find my way back, rediscover what I’ve lost, and learn to forgive those who caused the hurt.
