I Choose Today to be Agile

In my professional life, I navigate the dynamic realm of software development, where the Agile methodology reigns supreme. Agile isn’t just a framework; it’s a mindset—a commitment to iterative progress, collaboration, and perpetual enhancement. In the Agile world, each project unfolds in iterative phases. It begins with establishing guidelines and requirements, followed by developers crafting new functionalities. Then, these features undergo rigorous testing to identify and rectify any glitches before being released into production. Rinse and repeat. Each cycle builds upon the previous one, constantly refining and evolving towards excellence. Reflecting on this process, I’m reminded of a verse from James 1:3 (NLT), “For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.” Just as in Agile, where challenges drive improvement, trials in our faith journey strengthen our endurance and deepen our resilience. Just as Agile encourages continuous improvement, our faith is honed through each trial, leading to growth and maturity. So today, I choose to embrace agility—not just in my work but also in my faith—welcoming challenges as opportunities for growth and endurance. Join me in embracing agility in both work and faith. Let’s navigate challenges as pathways to growth and endurance together.

For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.” James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬. With each trial is an opportunity to build life’s tool chest; tools we can use to be successful in all we do and go through. I think of Joseph who went through trial after trial, but God used the tools he accumulated during those trials to make Joseph the leader God designed him to be. I believe God is doing that in my life. I believe He has replaced those survival tools I once
