It has been a while since I last left a thought. So much has happened, but yet praying for other manifestations. First and foremost, eight years ago we started a school of ministry and then I was stretched in so many other ways teaching in other colleges and seminaries, til I had to transition leadership to someone else. Well, finally God called me back to duty and after long hours and arduous works with other people who were/are equally as inspired and committed as I was/am, May 1, 2020, National Collaborative Institute of Leadership became "official". At the time of becoming "official", there were no leader-learners (students), however, upon the "launch date", September 8, 2020, there were 10. And so tonight as I was working on other works, it dawned to my thoughts that there is a class going on in the Institute. When I logged in, I noticed the instructor logged in and students, and when the floor was yielded to me upon entrance... I was humbled. Humbled for leaders with high honors and achievements and serve extensively in the community, but yet say to me "Rev. Denson, this service is not about money". Having Instructors who share the same sentiment as mines to serve the Lord by "making disciples" is a humbling moment in seeking to do the will of the One (Jesus) who sent me. On a different note, I have a new respect for our 11-years of age son's classroom teachers. Having to attend to his moving from class to class (virtually), ensuring his hot lunch, ensuring his exercise, ensuring his homework is a new level of understanding and responsibility. To all of my son's teachers, I say "Thank You, keep up the good work." Last but not least, I am humbled on Sunday morning when we login to "Worshipping God with the Densons" there are people there on Facebook and then there are those on Zoom who are online waiting for us to login and get started. I am truly humbled and grateful. So this week is the fall graduation week at Boston University... and needless to say... I am yet writing. All I can say is.... "Pray for me".
