Namba is a small and drought-stricken village in Southern part of Angola, a Seventh Day Adventist missionary who spent nearly a lifetime in Africa established a mission in this village. This white missionary left and for some years the mission was under the care of a local director. One year the rains failed to come, the crops did not grow, and the mission stores were emptied and no money to buy food if it could have been found. The mission director had been away for some weeks on a trip visiting distant mission schools. The believers at the Missao Adventista da Namba came to the end of their resources and food supply.

  You have one life to live, have you ever thought about that? There is no coming back to this world once you exit. Why not live your life with intentionality. Life is lived from inward to the outward, not vice versa.  The much of whom you are without is actually the result of whom you are within. Focus on cultivating your life within, the without expression will definitely show it. Make every decade, year, quarter,  month, week, day, month, hour, minute and moment count. Be good, be kind, be friendly. Never serve what you don't or won't like to be served. Be intentional about not harbouring offense, it does more harm to you than good. Live one day at a time, worry and anxiety solves nothing, it only shorten your years and steals the present. For out of you by worrying can add one cubic to his life? Be intentional about living. That is one little secret about life. Thanks for reading.  Maranatha.
