My Testimony: For Such a Time as This | How God Prepared Me Through Obedience

Today’s Gratitude + Grace segment is Testimonial Day, and I’m sharing my very first testimony—how God quietly prepared me for purpose long before I understood what He was doing.

During a season of deep grief, while mourning the loss of my grandmother and unexpectedly being let go from my job as a marketing manager, God was still speaking. He kept nudging me to prepare—to buy a desk, to buy a computer—without explanation. I didn’t understand it at the time, but I chose obedience and trusted God anyway.

Like Esther, I now see how God was preparing me for such a time as this.

I designed my grandmother’s obituary, and through that act of love and obedience, God opened a door I never could have planned. The funeral home was deeply moved by the design and invited me to create obituaries for all of their locations—becoming one of my very first clients and the spark that helped launched my business.

This testimony is a reminder to trust the process, even when it doesn’t make sense in the moment. God knows what He’s doing. Preparation always comes before purpose, and obedience unlocks doors you didn’t even know existed.

By God’s grace, my business will be 8 years strong in March 2026, and it all began with trust.

If you’re in a season of waiting, grieving, or uncertainty—this message is for you.

Trust God. Be obedient. He’s already working it out.
