My name is Alina. I'm just really grateful to be here. My praise is thanking my Heavenly Husband for the ministry. I've just been reflecting a lot on how I felt so lost in the beginning of my journey and then obviously, I found the ministry. Actually, because of Yvonne, I got some of the books to take to some libraries. So I've taken to libraries and one church, and this week it's sort of like I've got a little bit more of a purpose again.
And so I just wanna thank Him for that. And in my situation, I travel a bit to the north of Johannesburg, and I'm staying in the east. So I feel like I've been put in this unique situation that I travel a bit, but I know a few places more than maybe people who just stay in one area.
So I think that's a praise. I don't know what the Lord is doing yet, but I feel like I'm in this unique position. And yesterday I actually felt I should start writing down how my journey started because I really want to have a testimony for Johannesburg. I feel my story is a bit different from all the other ladies. I really have this strong sense, I'm gonna have a testimony for Johannesburg and even what Kezia has shared about Capetown. I really would love to have something for Johannesburg and just grow seeds in Johannesburg and build things, this side of South Africa.
So that's just my praise. And I'm feeling I have more of a purpose. Hopefully, in these little things that I'm doing, I'm able to help ladies. It's a bit hard for me to speak to women, but hopefully, in this way, I'm able to share things.
Also, just looking back, it was so hard in the beginning, although I was going to different churches and going to psychologists and all these things, and there was no hope there and people would almost be like oh shame, sorry about what happened, but coming here, it's just completely different. Everyone is just so filled with hope. I just wanna say thank you to everyone and to my Heavenly Husband.
