I have been blessed to be a blessing to the less fortunate who come across my path. I also have a heart for children, including orphans, widows, the homeless, and the physically challenged. God has given me so much that the least I can do is give to the less fortunate and also expand God’s kingdom. My husband and I currently serve in our prayer Ministry at our local church, Victory. It is an absolute blessing. I believe my ministry is giving and helping others. I am neither a pastor nor a singer; mine is to give. I love to give, and I struggle to receive because my nature is just giving. Giving is my calling; my heart beats for it. It brings me such joy. One day, when I am no more, I want to be remembered as someone who gave, had good character, and had faith in the Lord. People who are close to me see it in my actions. That is the kind of legacy I want to leave. I am grateful for the changes that God has wrought in me through his son, Jesus Christ, and how He is using me. In fact, God is the highlight of my life. I am grateful for salvation. I have enjoyed coming to work in His vineyard. I am very goal-driven and know how to set the pace. I am also a natural leader and very self-motivated. During the COVID lockdown period, everything was depressing but I could not allow the situation to wear me out. I went to my sister and convinced her to take aCertificate in Project Management along with me. Now we have our PMP. Ramlat likes to call it our COVID achievement. When we started out, we had nothing, as I say to those women who want established men right from the get-go. With my husband, we had to build it together. Now, people who don’t know our story only see the success, but they don’t know we had to go through the process! My hobbies are family time, shopping, cooking, fashion, travelling, and experiencing newplaces withmy family.MyGhana Jollof rice is amazing is the truth, I am not bragging, ask my husband, Nigeria Jollof rice, doesn’t stand a chance. My husband is very diplomatic; he would always say that Ghana Jollof is the best. Another thing I love doing is working out and staying healthy. I enjoy working out 4-5 days a week. I remember when I was going through the stress stage in my marriage, my faith and working out kept me at peace. Sometimes I don’t feel like working out, but immediately I hit the gym, I feel so energized and relieved. Initially, I started working out because I wanted to be a model, and I was offered the chance to model for a local African magazine in Columbus called African Weekender, but that didn’t really go anywhere. Anyway, I love to look good, and working out keeps me in shape, and the health benefits are endless. I also try to eat healthy most days. I eat lots of salads, beans, and grains. My breakfast is mostly juice, kale, spinach, ginger, beets and pretty much any other vegetables or fruits available. The first thing I take in the morning after working out is warm water and raw garlic; in fact, ninety percent of the liquid I drink is Crystal Punch which is water. My discipline and consistency are innate. Even when I feel a little under the weather, I still go to the gym; I just don’t like to take a break from working out is my passion! Spending quality time with my kids brings joy to my heart. I love baking, painting, and doing the simplest things in life with my kids. My busy life sometimes makes it a challenge to spend time with close friends, but I amworking on it. I have no regrets in life because the setbacks and life challenges have made me the woman, wife, mother, daughter, friend, and sister that I am today. I give God all the glory for how far he has brought me, and I know God has amazing things in store for me as I enter the next chapter of my Forty-fied blessed life. 39 The Birthday Journal
