From Trials to Triumph: My Journey of Faith, Gratitude, and Victory

Image
 From Trials to Triumph: My Journey of Faith, Gratitude, and Victory As I finished my makeup, the uplifting lyrics of a victory song still echoed on my lips. I paused for a moment, taking in my reflection. The smile radiating from my face wasn’t just for show, it was a genuine testament to God’s unwavering faithfulness. Today was no ordinary day; it was a milestone of glorious triumph over life’s toughest trials. With a joyful twirl, I sang aloud, This is a victory song! Jesus glorified, Jehovah has done it again too! Today, I wasn’t just celebrating graduation but rejoicing in the fulfillment of God’s promises and a story of beauty rising from ashes. When I began my studies in 2021, I was full of hope and excitement. Like many embarking on new journeys, I had big dreams and high expectations. Little did I know the path would lead me through valleys of tears and trials. Early on, my family faced a storm, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Simultaneously, I left my job an...

God’s Promises of Providence: A Gratitude Story

Image
It was a chilly autumn morning as I walked through the park, the crisp air filling my lungs. I had been feeling overwhelmed lately, burdened by thoughts of my responsibilities, goals, and the uncertainty of what the future might hold. Despite my faith, the weight of life’s demands sometimes clouded my heart with doubt. I  found a quiet bench near a lake with ducks swimming in it. I scrolled through my bible on the phone. My fingers instinctively opened to Matthew 6:25-26, words I had read countless times but now seemed to leap off the page: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" I looked down at the flock of ducklings swimming and pecking at crumbs scattered by passersby. Their...

Grateful in the Waiting: Trusting God’s Perfect Timing

Image
Lessons from the Slow Lane: Trusting God's Timing Have you ever been stuck behind that one driver who seems determined to stick to the speed limit when you’re in a hurry? Last week, I experienced this firsthand. On my way to work, every minute felt like an hour as I trailed behind a slow-moving car. Frustration mounted as time slipped through my fingers, and I couldn’t help but wonder, “Why can’t this driver just hurry up?” As I sat there, inching along at a snail’s pace, a thought struck me: isn’t this how life feels sometimes? We encounter seasons where progress seems stalled, where everything around us feels stuck. In these moments, it’s tempting to cry out, “Why, Lord? Why now? What am I supposed to learn from this? Finding Purpose in the Waiting That moment behind the wheel became a revelation. I realized that even in life’s waiting periods, there is something to look forward to. Just as the car ahead wasn’t a hindrance but a lesson in patience, life’s delays teach us to trust...

Gratitude Story : Grateful to God Even in Sickness

Image
The Bible says, “By His stripes, we are healed.”  As I sat in the genetic doctor’s office, these words echoed in my heart. Her voice was calm but carried the weight of the news she had to share: I have the BRCA2 mutated gene. As she spoke, I felt the words hit me like a storm, and tears streamed down my face. The doctor explained the implications and strongly advised me to undergo a hysterectomy. Fear and uncertainty gripped me. I didn’t know what to do or where to turn. My heart was burdened beyond words, and I asked, “Does Jesus care when my heart is pained too deeply for mirth and song?” But then, like a gentle whisper, the answer came: “Oh yes, He cares.” I took a leap of faith and underwent the surgery last year. It was not an easy journey, but God saw me through it. His hand was steady and present, even in the darkest moments. This year brought new challenges—a diagnosis of gallstones. These tiny stones caused so much pain and discomfort, affecting my daily life. Yet, ...

From Despair to Hope: A journey Through Joblessness

Image
  Hello, everyone. Today, I want to share a deeply personal story, a journey that has stretched my faith, tested my strength, and shown me the light of God even in the darkest of times.   It’s been almost three months since I graduated from nursing school. I thought it would be a time of celebration, stepping boldly into the job market and beginning the career I had worked so hard for. Instead, it became a season of waiting a season I never expected.   In these three months of joblessness, I’ve walked through the valley of depression, despair, disappointment, and discouragement. Each day felt like an uphill battle. There were times I questioned my worth, my abilities, and even my purpose.   But as if that wasn’t enough, life threw more challenges my way. During this time, my son fell ill, and I also battled my sickness. Some days, it felt like everything was too much to bear. Yet, despite my struggles, I found myself encouraging other friends and loved...

The Hand of Grace in the Snowstorm: My Gratitude Story

Image
  Last Wednesday was a day that reminded me of God's unfailing grace and protection. It began as a simple act of love—a chance to help my son Frederick during his school’s bake sale. I had volunteered to fry a beloved Ghanaian snack, boflot (puff loaves), a treat I was excited to share with his school community. I woke up early, kneading the dough and carefully waiting for it to rise before frying each piece to perfection. The joy of knowing my son appreciated my efforts gave me motivation, even in the biting cold. Once everything was ready, I packed the snacks and set off for his school. The weather that morning was challenging, thick fog, snow, and gusty winds. Driving cautiously, I arrived safely. Seeing Frederick waiting for me with a smile in front of the school library warmed my heart. I handed over the snacks, exchanged hugs, and started my journey back home. The return trip, however, was harrowing. The snowstorm continued fiercely, reducing visibility. As I drove in th...

  Devotion: Praise Amidst the Storms Scripture: “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.” – Habakkuk 3:17-18 Life is full of storms—seasons when nothing seems to work, when every door seems shut, and hope feels distant. In those moments, it’s easy to feel defeated, to let despair overshadow our faith. But Habakkuk reminds us of a powerful truth: even when everything around us seems to be falling apart, we can still praise God—not for the circumstances, but for who He is . Habakkuk paints a vivid picture of complete loss: no crops, no livestock, no signs of provision. Yet he declares, "I will rejoice in the Lord." Why? Because his joy wasn’t tied to his circumstances—it was rooted in the unchanging character of God. When we praise God amidst the sto...
