We all have different gifts, and these gifts allow us to enrich the lives of others and foster relationships. Whether it’s cooking, playing sports, or creating art, every gift can reflect God’s love and bring people closer together.

As I recommitted my faith, I understand the importance of surrounding myself with godly people. Fellowship though often inconvenient became essential. It requires time, energy, and patience, especially when God brings difficult people into our lives.

As a child, being a leg amputee came with many limitations. I couldn’t enjoy activities like running outside or playing with other kids. Instead, I spent most of my childhood in the quiet corners of a library.

When I was a new believer or living in deliberate sin, I fell more often. Even though I was younger and lighter, I was less stable. But as my faith grew, and I intentionally worked to strengthen my both physical and spiritual core, I fell less. 

Christian faith is about endurance. Perseverance is a recurring theme in the Bible, and I deeply resonate with the concept of endurance. From a young age, I’ve had to endure daily challenges. Walking with a prosthetic leg was a constant struggle as my hip and lower back ached with every step.
