Heavenly Father, thank You for seasons that taught us patience we didn't sign up for.
Today we ask for strength to wait without becoming bitter about the waiting.
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles." Isaiah 40:31
Father, do it again. You did it for Abraham and Sarah, promised a son, then made to wait for more than 20 years while their bodies aged past the point of logic. The promise didn't expire. Their patience did, more than once. You were patient with their impatience too.
Be patient with ours. In Jesus' name. AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for enough. Thank You for meals, breath, shelter, ordinary laughter, and the things we overlook because they are no longer new.
Today we ask You to rescue us from the exhausting belief that our lives will finally become peaceful once we have more.
Your Word says, “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” -1 Timothy 6:6. Teach us to desire progress without despising the life we have while we pursue it.
Do it again, Father. You did it for Paul, who learned contentment in abundance and in need, in comfort and in confinement.
Teach us to stop postponing gratitude until life becomes easier. In Jesus’ name. AMEN.
For your own Good
Please do.

Heavenly Father, thank You for another morning we did nothing to earn and everything to need. Thank You that grace doesn't wait for us to deserve it before it shows up.
Today we ask for rest. Not sleep... rest. The kind that quiets a mind still running from yesterday.
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
Do it again, Father. You did it for Elijah under that broom tree, exhausted, done, asking to die. You didn't lecture him. You let him sleep, then You fed him. Twice.
We are tired in places we haven't said out loud. Meet us there. In Jesus' name. AMEN.

If you told me last season that all these players would be gone I would’ve fell to my knees crying tears of joy, generational clear out.
My mechanic referred me to Derrick Ateebwa after I lost my car key. I gave him a call, and he drove straight to my home, where he made me two copies of the car keys, which are better than the original type which I had because you had to cut the key open to replace an old battery. Here is the thing: always keep a photo of your key somewhere, because it makes it easier to get a replacement. Even when you have nothing, he will make one for you using his advanced gadgets. In case you need another copy of your car key or have lost one, contact him on +256709634805. You should save his number just in case.
This SEPTEMBER …
May God fill every empty account, but also empty your life of the habits that keep draining it. May God deal with what keeps emptying your hands.
May you find work that pays you what your effort actually costs. Not what desperation made you accept.
May your business grow customers who stay; not the ones who disappear after the discount ends.
May your family be covered.
May your purpose stop hiding from you. And when God exposes what has been draining you, don't call it a bad month. Call it mercy.
May God shield you from forces working against you and may He be just as loud about the ones working through you, that you keep mistaking for enemies.
May He grant you discernment.
And may your hunger for God grow deeper; the kind that doesn't quit when the answer takes longer than the prayer.
May September bring you provision, clarity, correction, protection, and a closer walk with God.
Happy new month.
Imagine seeing a woman desperately wanting a man and borderline depressed for not being with him and you’re still chasing after her, that’s literally Arsenal with Alvarez, how have they not gotten the ick?
It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that I announce the passing of His Majesty the Omukama of Tooro, King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, at approximately 10:00 p.m. this evening.
This is an immeasurable loss to the Royal Family, the people of Tooro and the nation of Uganda.
Omukama Atulize.
Enkuba Etutire.
I call upon the people of Tooro to remain united, calm and prayerful during this difficult time.
The continuity of the Crown is assured. His Majesty leaves behind a Prince as his heir, whose identity will be formally revealed at the appropriate time, in accordance with the traditions and customs of Tooro Kingdom.
An official statement will follow with further details, including the funeral and mourning arrangements.
May His Majesty the King rest in eternal peace.
1. Do not rent a house close to a church, mosque, or school. You’ll regret it if you do.
2. The first red flag when you are house hunting is if the landlord/landlady lives in the compound. Abort mission.
3. The best time to house hunt is during the rainy season. It helps you avoid places that are prone to flooding and erosion.
4. The kind of people who live in the compound, street, or estate is very important. It is best to live among married or family people. This will save you from trouble. I’ll not explain further.
5. Check for proximity to a standard gym, supermarket, pharmacy, filling station, hospital/clinic, and police station.
6. Any house that is asking for two years’ rent upwards is a red flag. They’ll most likely serve you a quit notice after those two years so they can rent it out to someone who will pay two years’ rent and pay all the caution fees you paid.
7. Check how frequently they bring light in that area. Don’t ask the house agent or tenants. Ask those shop owners and children on that street. They’ll tell you the truth.
8. Always ask and check if the last occupant of the house is owing light bills. If you don’t, you’ll end up paying for light that you didn’t use.
9. Check for network. Do not rent a house where you have to go to your kitchen before you can have access to good network.
10. Take your time. If it is going to take you six months to find a house of your taste and budget, then wait and keep searching. Never pay for a house in a haste or out of desperation.
11. If it is not a new house, do your findings to know why the last tenant of the apartment you want to rent packed out.
12. Ask about their policies. Do they allow generators? Do they lock the gate too early? Do they rent out apartments to people with questionable characters, occupations, etc.? These are red flags that may land you in trouble if you ignore them.
Ask God to restore your appetite for life. Your ideas. Your energy. Your curiosity. Your confidence. Your hope for the future. Sometimes you don’t need a completely new life. You need to reconnect with the parts of yourself you stopped nurturing.
One thing I've realized is that, you don't need to vent to your friends about everything that you're going through. Sometimes it's okay to just pray about it and move on. Let it be between you and God.
