Faith in the Storm


Poem by Naa Doodua Doodu
As challenges rise, perseverance and patience become our norm.
If we falter, we fail, for regret has no remedy.
In the face of adversity, let us not be swayed by trouble,
But instead, place our hope in the Lord for a brighter tomorrow.

We make our choices, but God guides our path.
He never disappoints; His "no" is the best answer for the moment.
Though pain may endure for a night, joy comes with the dawn.
So, let us cling to God with patience and perseverance, for He is faithful.

A Connection Beyond First Impressions

It was incredible how easily we clicked during our second encounter! Our first meeting was a bit awkward and tense, but I could tell she was just unfamiliar with her surroundings. Despite that, I couldn't help but notice her kindness and beauty, especially those smiles that never seemed to fade. We all couldn't help but sneak glances at her, trying not to get caught in our admiration. During our second meeting, I tried to keep my distance at first, but it was impossible. I found myself right in the middle of things, helping out, and there she was, offering her assistance despite being busy. We ended up having a deep conversation, sharing our experiences. Her lovely French accent and her passion for life struck me. I couldn't help but wonder why such a beautiful woman would choose a life of celibacy. The only explanation I could come up with was her strong faith in God. To my surprise, I later met her father and realized that their warmth and ability to bring joy to others w...

People come together in various aspects of life for a multitude of reasons. Sometimes, the circumstances surrounding these meetings can be a mystery. However, these encounters often blossom into moments of profound connection. One such instance is the bond that is formed between a group of individuals. The memories of our meeting places still linger in my mind, as vivid as the taste of freshly tapped palm wine. I distinctly recall a time when I had to relinquish a cherished position due to the negative comments of those around me. It was a pivotal moment when I was called back to resume my role, as those who had temporarily taken over realized the challenges it entailed. I view this as a divine intervention. Despite being asked to take full control, we became effective partners in our work. I humbly sought their guidance, which provided me with invaluable learning opportunities. Another significant encounter occurred when I felt compelled to seek a unique connection with the Divine. I ...

Lessons Beyond the Classroom: A Journey of Perseverance in Ghana

Image
A captivating story shared with me by a friend has stuck with me, as it resonates deeply with my own experiences. Like many young men in Ghana, I had the opportunity to work during the period between my basic school education and continuing to the next level of my education. This was a time before mobile phones were common, when airtime transfers, airtime cards, and call centers were the norm. I worked under someone who genuinely cared about my well-being, and I could see the concern on his face as I left to further my education. Life presented me with numerous opportunities. It was unusual for someone to be offered a teaching position straight out of high school, especially when many high school graduates were struggling to find work. I found myself teaching three subjects and taking on multiple responsibilities, while trained professionals had little to do. This pattern continued after I completed tertiary education. I couldn't understand why these individuals received higher sal...
