I thought I was losing everything. But God was just making room for what He had already planned.
For two years, everything I had built — my relationship, my sense of direction, my idea of who I was — slowly fell apart. I cried more than I prayed. But in that barren place, God began to speak. He wasn't punishing me. He was pressing me, making room for a version of me I hadn't yet met. Today, I stand in a place of joy I cannot explain and would not trade.
The diagnosis felt like an ending. What followed was the most alive I have ever felt in my faith.
When the doctor said those words, time stopped. But God did not. He met me in the hospital room, in the waiting, in the treatment room — and never once left.
After three years of silence, God answered in a way I never could have orchestrated myself.
Three years of praying the same prayer. Three years of wondering if He heard me. Then one ordinary Tuesday, everything changed. He hadn't been silent — He had been working.
I had to forgive someone who never apologised. That was the hardest thing God ever asked of me.
Forgiveness felt impossible. It felt unjust. But God showed me that holding on to the wound was keeping me chained to the moment that hurt me. Letting go set me free.
I spent years performing for God. The day I stopped was the day I truly found Him.
Church had always been about performance for me. The right words, the right actions, the right face. Until burnout stripped it all away and I had nothing left — and discovered He had never needed any of it.
Depression told me God had abandoned me. Scripture told me otherwise. I chose to believe Scripture.
The darkness was real. But God was more real. I learned that faith is not the absence of fear or pain — it is choosing to hold on even when everything in you says let go.
The answer didn't come when I expected. But it came exactly when I needed it.
I waited on a job, a relationship, a sense of direction — for longer than felt fair. But in the waiting, God built patience in me that I could not have built myself. The promise was real. The timing was His.
