Wheeeeew! I enjoyed this! I really did. It tugged my heart in a way that I did not expect it to.

God is so kind and faithful. He makes sure every gift is purified and refined for His glory and His will.

Thank you, Sakina. Thank you, Adebola.

I pray that with yielding to the call of God upon your lives, there would be comfort and ease. There would be words that would flow only from the depth. The depth that exists in God in Jesus Name, Amen.

Adebola is evidence that the Holy Spirit always delivers and never disappoints, He speaks light through you and it keeps bringing clarity.

Thank you for yielding to God.

Sakina, thank you for sharing this. Believe me when I say this piece is incredibly amazing and inspiring.

Thank you both, for creatively representing Christ in a world full of uncertainties.

Indeed, God ministers to us in different ways and times.

Don't hesitate to do more if God lays it in your heart.

Thanks, Precious. I love how you phrased this: "Creatively representing Christ..." It is, in fact, what we're doing, and God has been faithful- allowing our reads to reach readers like you 🩷 Thank you

I relate so much with Adebola because this is literally my story 🥺 I used to write for my friends at home and in secondary school, leaving school felt like I left a huge part of myself behind. Now writing is more than my favorite thing but a calling. I’m struggling to understand how to navigate this but I’m obeying by taking it one step at a time. I would love to connect with both of you too. Thank you both for this collaboration. Love it so much 🤍
