Rejected at childbirth, experiencing difficulty fitting within my own family, and going on to suffer cycles of rejection, I somehow would come close to opportunities but lose them at a crucial moment.
I knew I was made for so much more, but could not quite grasp it.
I was frustrated and angry.
And then I stopped trying.
I had lost my dreams and aspirations.
In a wilderness season, dejected, alone and lonely, God took me through an inward journey – to remember the source of my pain. He began to heal me, bring me into acceptance of what had happened to me, and the resulting poor choices triggered by the negative life experiences.
Almost rhythmically, the light bulb within me went on. My gifts and abilities started coming alive.
I found myself in my mid-40s, at a point when my contemporaries had settled and would probably be planning for their sunset years.
The odds were against me. I was afraid.
But I dared.
My own journey made me believe that anyone can find themselves at any point in their lives – and then go ahead to fulfil their Purpose.
