FGM ACADEMY EXPERIENCE (2) — IT IS A TURN AROUND IN LIFE

IT IS A TURN AROUND IN LIFE

I came from a very rough background, and life had been so tough. It was as if nothing was really working. It got to a point where I gave up. I lost hope. I lost faith. I felt life was not worth living. And the painful part was that I was a 'church girl'. I had always been very active in church as a church worker. I loved God, and I knew God loved me. But it got to a point where I began to ask myself, "Is God even looking my way?" I met a lot of people who were also going through similar situations. So, we would talk among ourselves and say, "This thing is not working. Christianity is not working." But then I would go to bed and still tell myself, "Yes! There is God." I have seen God come through for some people, but it appeared I was overlooked. Then came my turning point. A friend of mine introduced me to the FGM Academy. All praise to God. Now, I have seen the light. I am just so happy that I came to this academy. Dr. Bindan, God bless you. I don't even know how to say it in a way that will feel so real. I honestly do not know what I would have been doing by now. I don't know what my story would have been if I had not come to this academy. I just thank God. And I always say that this academy was just for me. I was the reason for this academy.
