When the Going is Tough

Following God is a full-time profession in which you are at the job 24/7. There are no visiting professors but only residents. Following God as a profession involves us at our best and worst. It is a journey in our young age and old age, at our wisest and most foolish of times. It is a walk during our hottest and coolest days, during our success and horrible times. In following God, there is no old age, no retirement. There are no lunch breaks and no excused absences. In this profession, no one can come to work on your behalf. Theare are not sick leaves and no holidays.      — Dr. Kagelo Henry Rakwena, author of “When the Going Gets Tough Only the Tough Gets Going”

The Lord gave me a gift in the middle of my recent crisis in the form of my therapist. Henry. Out of all the counselors in the world I received Henry, a pastor, a Seventh-day Adventist, a native of Botswana, and a follower of Jesus. This “full-time professor” relied on the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit to bring to a place where I could continue on my journey with Jesus in peace. I thank God for Henry. And Henry, my friend, I thank you.
