Hi there!
I thought I had better start this blog with a decent introduction into who I am – because if you are going to be reading my posts, you are probably going to want to know a little bit about me! Let’s dive right in.
I’ll begin with this: Where I have found myself today is definitely not what I had expected. Far from it. In fact, it has been immeasurably more than I could have ever thought, asked, or imagined! This wild roller-coaster ride has me just as awe-struck now as I was back then.
My closest people
To know me, you must know a bit about those closest to me. My family. Fetu’u, my husband, has been completely down for the crazy ride, and we then have four pretty cool kids (yes, sorry, I am biased). I am willing to wager that my 4 just may be the most energetic bunch of kids you will ever come across!
Being outdoors is a favorite for our lot: sports, camping, staying physical, and just enjoying life. What else can I say other than enjoying God’s creation and each other’s company is exactly what He said it is (referring to the sabbath). Cup-filling!
However, as much as we love enjoying life, we love building God’s kingdom and growing together just as much. Things I have since been a part of and witnessed week-in and week-out have been nothing short of mind-blowing. Honestly, the work has been just as rewarding as the play! I truly find no greater joy than seeing people set free from things that have kept them trapped. Simply through getting to know God and allowing Him to restore them.
My journey towards today
So, if you haven’t guessed, my ministry journey has led me down the path of prayer, healing, deliverance, and prophecy. Over the years, I have led deliverance and healing ministries, a prophetic intercession team, journeyed with people pastorally, and found a love for mentoring those in the same lane as myself.
I don’t even know how to emphasise just how amazing it has been without it sounding like a bunch of clichés! I’m talking about seeing miraculous deliverances from addictions and mental struggles. Negatives thoughts and behaviours, that once plagued minds and bodies, broken instantaneously—never to be a bother again. Physical healings happening before my eyes. Ankles. Knees. Backs. Healed, just like that. Eyesight restored in a moment—glasses worn for the last time. There is nothing quite like the tangible miraculous power of God to stir your faith and fill you with wonder.
And then there’s that moment of seeing people light up when they realise God is actually talking to them. Directly. That there is no way they could have misinterpreted it or stumbled upon a coincidence. They have heard Him speak and even had Him confirm it for them. For me, there is truly nothing better than seeing people realise they can talk to God…and that He wants to talk back to them! Once a person has discovered this free-flowing, two-way communication with Him, I know their journey is about to begin. The sky is now the limit (or rather, there is no limit… for a limitless God!).
However, before my life took this turn several years ago, I was actually serving in the military—and I really enjoyed it! I spent 14 years as an army chef until finally stepping out to pursue a pull toward Bible study. So, I hung up my boots, packed up my knives, and committed to following the path through the door called ‘Bible College’. I did not have the slightest idea where that path was about to take me!
The point of transformation
My journey with God was majorly reshaped during my time at Bible college. In fact, my entire foundation of life was completely shattered, and a new foundation was laid. I had an encounter with God while at college that just changed everything. Don’t get me wrong, I had had encounters with God before this—but this was the first time I was truly open to hearing what He was saying. Everything changed after that.
I was immediately ignited with a love for prayer and thrown into prophetic intercession, healing, and deliverance ministry within my local church. It’s a story I may share one day because it is one that still has me marveling.
Some testimonies along the way
I can’t miss an opportunity to share some of the amazing testimonies from that time though. Fetu’u I felt both God invite us to trust Him with our finances while I was at Bible College, so we did. Sealing our fate, completley trusting in God, we both walked away from the Army—3 kids to provide for, a mortgage to pay, and now both jobless. Everything that followed was nothing short of miraculous.
Over that two-year period, although we kept our situation under wraps, the number of cash envelopes that were handed to us from different people “because God said to” was crazy! My second year of study was completely covered because “God told them”, and we even had someone buy us a dryer when ours broke because of “God’s leading”. I could go on all day about all the miraculous ways He provided during that time. But to keep it short, I can now say without a doubt that God is a faithful provider…as well as the faithful healer and deliverer. I am in forever in awe, and thankful for faithful people around us who heard His voice too!
The love of prayer
Through everything, prayer has remained my absolute favorite place to be. I couldn’t think of many other things I would pick over spending time sitting with the God who created the universe. The God who literally has the answer to everything we could ever want to know! Who honestly loves us, cares for us genuinely, and just wants to give us the world. Literally. He literally created the world to give it to us humans! (You may need to read Genesis if that one has you questioning!) Over time, in that place of prayer, many of the things I was receiving increasingly becoming more than just for myself. He began giving me deep revelations and prophetic insights that I knew were meant to be shared.
Where I am today
So, where am I today? I have found a love for teaching. Teaching people how to hear God’s voice and how to deepen their relationship with Him. How to journey through the steps of healing past hurts, finding freedom from crippling cycles, and growing in character. All to become the restored version of themselves; the version they were created to be.
I love teaching my children how to hear His voice. Not much brings me greater joy than seeing how easily they speak to Him. Hearing them unpack what He is saying when He calls them to grow in character, or simply hearing them say, “God said I don’t need to work on anything today. He just said that He loves me and I’m doing good.” This is a message I pray stays embedded on their hearts. It’s a message I want people to truly know as well—that God really does just love them. Not in a cheesy way that used to make my eyes roll when I was younger, but in a soul-filling way that brings such peace and contentment.
I now work at that very Bible college that saw my life change and am still involved heavily at my local church—leading among these areas.
What’s next?
Writing studies and devotionals has been something I have enjoyed putting my hand to, and now this blog is the next step. So here we are!
I am ready to share a bit of my journey, with bits of wisdom learned along the way. To write about things that can help people find healing in their own stories. Give people confidence to seek deliverance from the things holding them back. And ultimately, I just want to share God’s heart with people, with the hopes that they could know God as deeply as He knows them. Oh how greatly a person’s life can change when that relationship is one they choose to invest in.
So, come along with me for the ride as I share some of what I have discovered through prayer, study, and experience. Learn how to hear Him for yourself! And come and discover what God is saying here and now to His people through prophetic words.
I am just a person on this journey with God, and I invite you along on it too!
