    You can feel the excitement in the air as reports of the day’s happenings are shared among the mini-groups of students in the dormitory corridors and rooms. Another day well spent. My buddy Collins and I were celebrating victory in the District Science congress competition. We toped the biology Project Category and were in high spirits.

    In a midst of the excitement was another clandestine activity. We were all giving back some items that made the day possible; the funkiest shoes, hot blazers, fine shirts and trousers that responded to the charcoal iron box well. It was good bye to them until the next time we need to impress the judges and the girls.

    There are several principles that unconsciously shaped our lives then and still do today. Let me bring it home:

    Image is everything

    First impressions last

    Fake it till you make it

    Time has flown by and so has our lifestyles but the principles still hold their ground. We continue to create formulas that make us look like we have it all together.

    I learnt something this past week from Pastor Gowi that has stuck, “Sell what you maintain”. That sums up everything.

    I pray that God will grant you revelation of formulas that keep you bound and that he will give you the strength to walk away from them and find refuge in him. He loved and accepted you as you were and his daily provision is sufficient.

    ‘A faithful man shall abound with blessing but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent’.-prov. 28:20.

    Have a great week

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
