She was on Downcast Avenue, confused about the shape of the future but brimming with ideas, after being sacked for rejecting the advances of her boss (her colleague got pregnant for the same married man later). In months, a non-governmental organization gave her what turned out to be a fulfilling job, while marriage followed over a year later. By the time the couple visited at Christmas in 2003, and unknown to them, a letter of appointment enabling her relocation to the husband?s Lagos, Nigeria base, was ready.

?And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.? ? Romans 8: 28 (KJV).

God vindicates those who choose to obey Him.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
