Good morning from a Durban that is recovering from the effects of flooding. The past two weeks have been devastating with the loss of many lives and homes.

The only way is to take small steps forward, this forward motion will eventually bring us to a place of momentum and hopeful direction. I know a few couples who are in the fertility processes at the moment and some who have abandoned the process and are in the valley of decision.

Wherever life finds you right now my advise is don’t stop moving forward. It may not necessarily be physical strides. We must guard and protect our mental and emotional strides as well. Set backs, detours, obstacles, giants are not meant to deter us but rather excite us to keep progressing. There is no time for what could be, should be and would be. Keep your eyes focused on the end goal. Shake yourself up and dust yourself off. We are not stopping now.

Negativity and opinions of the ill informed should not take up space in your thoughts. Become well informed by looking into the positive steps forward for you. I am not writing these words to merely motivate you but rather I pray that you become a well developed independent thinker, who makes bold decisions based on your strong faith and belief. For me it is my faith in Christ my Lord. Daily meditation on His word affords me the strength and grace to move on.

 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.  Philippians 4:8

May the days ahead be intentional. Love always ….
