Dedication

I would like to dedicate this book to my two beautiful children, my son Bj and my daughter Zaza. In my darkest hour, you both gave me light. You gave me strength without even knowing it. Just calling me your mom melts my heart. You are my precious jewels I will always treasure. From my heart to your hearts, love lives always. In addition to my ‘other’ son Siso who also calls me mom (my twin sister’s son) you are really a ray of sunshine. Your smile always warms my heart, I love you. And to my loving sister B you ran your race to the end as a powerful woman of God and you won the journey of cancer. You kept your faith until to the end, you received the crown of glory.

You are my hero. I love you always RIP.

Acknowledgements

I give God praise, honor and glory to have the opportunity to spread the gospel of Christ through my personal testimony. I thank Him for the continuous strength I find only in Him. The experience I got from writing this book not only gave me hope, but it also gave me contentment.

If I say, I am blessed that does not mean everything is working out for me. It does not mean material things of this world either. To me, it means I am content with whatever circumstance I may be. I choose to be proactive when a situation arises upon my way because I know God is in control. I do not choose to be reactive and let a situation control me. I am content with what I have until God moves me to another level.

To my readers thank you for taking time reading this book, I hope it will bless you. May God cause His face to shine upon you. During trials and afflictions, hardships and challenges may God give you grace to endure with patience and place faith in Him. May you remain steadfast in prayer and being confident that He is with you always. May you be richly blessed.

Plant the seeds of happiness, hope, success, and love it will come back in abundance.

Introduction

The tiny seed knew that in order to grow, it needed to be dropped in dirt, covered in darkness, and struggle to reach the light.

- Sandra Kring

Greetings to you in Jesus mighty name. I trust that I find you well and pressing on towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus Amen.

I am a woman who is yearning to have more of God and less of myself. He must become greater, and I must become less. For Him to increase in my life and I decrease. I want to develop that closer walk with God. I want to grow in His knowledge and faith. To have a God centered attitude in every area of my life.

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.

To rely on Him. Trust on Him and depend on Him. I need God to know God. Just like a newborn baby who does progress from having soft food to solid food. I also crave for more. I strive for deeper spiritual life. To allow the Holy Spirit to transform and change me. I hunger and thirst for more of Jesus in my life.

Hebrews 5:14 But solid food belongs to those who are mature, for those who through practice have powers of discernment that are trained to distinguish good from evil.

On my pilgrimage journey, I learned and experienced joys and pain that I want to share some of them with you. I am still on the journey however, the difference is; as I go along my journey, I know who I am in Christ Jesus. I know that my mouth has the power to decree and declare. To speak things into existence.

I affirm, there are blessings and miracles with my name on it. I just need to hold on tight to His promises. I walk in the supernatural demonstrating the wisdom and character of the Holy Spirit my source of strength, ability and inspiration.

I trust that God is and always will be with me every step of the way. I believe on the power of God that is within me. The same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead is the same power that operates in me. I just need to tap on it and apply the Word of God. We are living in the flesh therefore we are not exempted from the pain and hardships of this world. Jesus Himself also experienced hard times during His earthly ministry.

Luke 22:42 Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, be yours be done.

The reference of the cup has many interpretations. When I searched and studied the Old Testament. The metaphor of the cup to me is the reference of lives. Our lives that can be filled with a variety of things, blessings, salvation, God’s judgement and wrath etc. This humbles me to think Jesus knew the horrible pain and suffering He was about to endure just for me. When Jesus cried out it is finished at the cross, it was not words of defeat but words of VICTORY. He finished the work given to Him and on the third day He rose from the dead.

Therefore, think about what Jesus had to go through. What He had to tolerate for you and me. He went through excruciating pain and sufferings, betrayal and condemnation. Nevertheless, He did not give up. He declared, Let Your will be done Lord as a sign of putting His trust on God. You might feel like the world has crumbled beneath you and everything has deteriorated in your life.

You feel empty and helpless, betrayed and abandoned. The pain is just horrendous, you wonder how you going to make it through to another night or day. At times situations may seem like impossible to come out but we serve a God who turns impossible circumstances possible. Victory is always waiting on the other side for you.

Isaiah 45: 2 I will go before thee and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass and cut in sunder the bars of iron.

You just need to trust upon Him, and He will make your paths straight.
