The background of my journey is that I believe I was chosen to make a difference in the lives of God’s people. However, I remained disobedient for many years until my experience in 2021, when I distinctly heard the Lord’s voice. I sense that I have been called to influence the lives of God’s people through my testimony, yet I have been disobedient and have failed to fulfill this calling. 

The experience that motivated me to write was significant. I refer to it as an experience because I refuse to label anything that is not divine. When I encountered my experience, which was a stroke, I lost my ability to speak; reading aloud and constructing words and sentences became part of my rehabilitation. Frustration sets in when you transition from being capable of having a complete conversation to needing to relearn how to speak entirely. It felt akin to a child learning to articulate. I began by writing brief sentences and then reading them out loud. One day, in my moment of frustration, I heard a voice suggesting that I should share my journey to inspire someone rather than dwell in discouragement. Write a book. There are stories within you waiting to be told. I was taken aback, but when the Lord communicates with you, it is essential to respond with obedience.
