‎PS: Coincidentally I ran into the concluding nine days novena of Young Catholic professionals (YCP) yesterday evening in Church. And it happened that Saint Augustine is their Patron Saint. Then I remembered that I had been approached by someone earlier to join the YCP and I told the person that when I am ready, I would prayerfully choose the group to join. Unknown to me, this is the same YCP, so after the meeting and introductions, I didn't have to pray again, that's where God wants me to be, I joined....Ordered step🪜

‎Please permit me to quickly make this call:

To the one who's chosen to join me on this journey as a lifetime partner: Today I make you a Promise, You'll be loved exactly the same way Christ loves the Church, You'll live the fullness of your purpose, because I'll be here as your number one supporter all in all.. 

However, be reminded that I am not a perfect person, but God found my imperfections perfect enough to trust me with some measure of talents and divine responsibility, and He has not let me off His sight for once since I was 12 when I had my first encounter....He's seen me through stuffs(good & bad)......All I want from you is to allow you be my go-to place of grace and peace, a place to become anew before, during. and after each day's assignment. I don't expect perfection but Unity, Mutual Understanding & Respect, Love, Collaborative Spirit in Pursuit of Purpose, Intentional Presence even when it means we'll need to be miles apart for moments, and above all, Faith in us and ultimately Faith in God. For each one of these, I promise I'll give double as the Lord lives....IYKYK ❤️ 

This is who Augustine is.....Called, Chosen, Appointed, Commissioned, Sent & Positioned as First, a Kingdom Ambassador in the reconciliatory Agenda of God, the establishment of His Kingdom, His will and its expansion on the earth as it is done in heaven. Everything I do finds its root & expression in this purpose...Huge responsibility, but His mercies and grace have been out of this world, please hold me accountable.

Dedicated to the blessed memory and legacy of Saint Augustine of Hippo today, 28 August. Yesterday August 27 was his Mother, Saint Monica's day. May their divine intercessions continue to illuminate our paths as we journey in purpose....

‎Shalom!
