Founder, and Co-editor,
Most times our silence in tough situations requires obedience. Some people call it endurance or perseverance. I dislike those words so I’m sticking with obedience. Sometimes we want to hit fast forward and reach the prestige, the success, the not so difficult times, but here’s the thing; wanting out too early simply messes up the plan God has put in place for our lives. Remember Esther, who we all know as Queen Esther?
She was an orphan and born a Jew at a time when Jews were being killed, but by seeking God’s wisdom and applying it to a tough situation, she was recognized as a wise authority and was crowned Queen. Looking for the easy way out – (of a financial situation, out of a relationship, out of a job, heck even out Nigeria,) – when things are hard eliminates the growth, discipline learnings that we experience if we stay the course. Trust me, I have learned this very well. God has a sense of humor and he always laughs last.
As women, we are placed here to be a beacon of light, to succeed where others have fallen and to hold a lamp out to guide others to join in. International women’s day to me means celebrating those women who have gone before me, those who currently journey with me & those who will go after me. You all inspire me to be all that God has called me to be. Happy International Women’s day Queens!
