Saturday 10th January

Quiet your heart and mind. Breathe deeply and exhale slowly. Imagine going to a high place with Jesus. Let the excitement grow in you as you follow Him and wait for what He wants to show you.

“Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts."

Psalm 96:8

Ponder: What experiences in your life have filled your heart with amazement at God’s greatness?

Scripture

...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Philippians 1:6

First, imagine Jesus is focusing on you, looking you right in the eye, and holding out a gift for you. Hear Him pray this over you. Read the blessing again slowly. What do you notice?

A story only god could write

We praise God for His faithfulness—for never letting go, and for continuing the work He begins in each of us. In His mercy, He not only redirects our steps but reshapes our desires to align with His. Seasons that felt like loss became sacred surrender. Waiting became the soil where transformation took root.

We’ve seen this most clearly in the lives of the teachers at our school where we had the joy of walking with them. Many arrived overlooked or underestimated by the world’s standards. But God, in His wisdom, saw their true potential. Through prayer, intentional investment, and their own willingness to grow, they were transformed—becoming grounded, confident, and equipped. One teacher shared, “Thank you for giving me wings to fly." Another said, “I’m thankful for where your guidance has placed me today." These are more than kind words—they are testimonies. Only God could write stories like these.

When our school unexpectedly closed, we were devastated. But God’s work didn’t stop. Those same teachers are now leading and influencing excellence in new places, carrying the DNA of transformation into other communities. What was never part of our plan was always part of God’s greater purpose—to expand His kingdom.

This is why we return to prayer: In prayer, we remember that God is not done. He is still shaping, still calling, and still completing what He started. And so, we praise Him—with joy, gratitude, and open hands for all that’s still to come.
