My Story
When I first came to the United States, it felt like stepping into an entirely different world. I had never traveled far from my family before, and moving here without them was one of the hardest things I had ever done. Life was not physically demanding, but it was emotionally grueling. There were so many nights I found myself on my knees, praying to God to give me strength or even to take me back home because it felt like I didn’t belong here. The loneliness was heavy, and the culture shock was overwhelming.
But God had a plan for me, even when I couldn’t see it. I came from a humble background, and the option of simply packing up and going back wasn’t available to me. I realized I had to make it work—there was no plan B. Through prayer and faith, I found the courage to move forward. I put on my big girl pants and faced America head-on, leaning on God every step of the way.
I started making bold, sometimes spontaneous decisions, including moving to a completely new town where I knew absolutely no one. Looking back, that was one of the best decisions I ever made. It was in that town that I began to find myself and rediscover my purpose. I worked hard, prayed harder, and even managed to earn my master’s degree while having my first child. Yes, you read that right—a degree and a baby at the same time! God’s grace carried me through it all.
And then the kids kept coming—four in total. My little “balanced quartet” keeps me on my toes, and they’ve taught me so much about patience, resilience, and unconditional love. There were days when the chaos felt overwhelming, but my faith in God kept me grounded. I learned to trust His timing and His plan, even when life felt uncertain.
For years, I dreamed of starting my own blog, but like so many others, I kept finding excuses. “It’s not the right time,” I’d say. But here’s the truth: there’s never a perfect time. There’s just time, and what you choose to do with it. Through prayer and reflection, I realized that God had placed this dream on my heart for a reason. So here I am, years later, finally taking the plunge.
I’ve started this blog to share my journey, to connect with others who might feel like they don’t belong, and to inspire anyone who’s on the edge of making a big decision. Life has taken me from feeling lost and alone to finding purpose and joy in the chaos of family, faith, and entrepreneurship. This blog is just the beginning of a new chapter—one where I get to live my dreams and, God willing, help you chase yours too.
If you’re reading this, I hope my story resonates with you. Wherever you are in your journey, know that it’s never too late to start something new. Trust in God’s plan, lean on Him for strength, and take that leap of faith. The time is now, and with God by your side, you’ve got this.
