Last week Friday, I was kindly invited by Indlovukazi Society to MC at their opening function. It was such an overwhelming feeling to see men and women gathered in a Women Empowerment Function, engaging on issues that affect women in Tertiary Institutions. The theme was Women and Education. Gracing us with her presence as guest speaker was Professor - Mrs. Songci an H.O.D at the Accounting Department who traced us down memory lane, and reminded us of what being a woman means. And how important it is to be an educated woman in the 21st century. Her last words "Women you are a multi-tasker, that is your role, embrace it and move on" were inspirational.

by Joyce Meyer - posted January 13, 2013 But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God). —Galatians 5:16 Willpower sure sounds like a great thing. We are led to believe that we have enough of it to fight off every temptation that comes our way. And sometimes it works. But let me tell you a little secret about willpower. Willpower is your best friend when things go well, but it's the first friend to check out when you get weary. I have found that if I really don't want to do something, my mind gives me plenty of reasons why I don't have to.
