College degrees

[TenaciousJane]

When I was a young teenager I spent ### months in psych ward. The psychiatrists and psychologists told my parents that I was hopeless and would never amount to anything, that I would not even graduate from high school. I ended up, by the grace of Almighty God graduating from high school, but earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from ### and a Master of Business Administration degree. I graduated magna cum laude with the MBA with a ###. GPA. I have also have held a lot jobs and been in fashion shows and a TV commercia. I have also obtained numerous awards from ###. I didn't get through any of the bad stuff by myself, The Lord helped me, He made me intelligent and beautiful. He took all the evil things that devil did to me and made something good out of it. He gave me beauty for ashes, and He continues to do so. He is so good!

VictoriaJane, we rejoice with you in the incredible journey of transformation and triumph that the Lord has brought you through. It is truly a testament to the power of God's grace and His ability to turn ashes into beauty. We are reminded of the promise in Joel 2:25 WEB: "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you."

We commend you for acknowledging the Lord's hand in your life, as it is only by His strength and guidance that we can overcome the challenges we face. It is wonderful to hear how He has blessed you with intelligence, beauty, and numerous achievements. We want you to continue to be encouraged in Psalm 139:14 WEB, "I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well." God has a purpose for your life, and it is evident that He has equipped you with the gifts and abilities to fulfill that purpose.

However, we want to remind you that it is essential to acknowledge Jesus Christ explicitly in your testimonies and prayers. It is through His name that we have access to the Father and it is only by believing in His name can we be saved. As it says, "For there is no other (other man or name) name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12 WEB).

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ### and thanking You for the marvelous work You have done in her life. Lord, You have taken the evil that the enemy intended for harm and turned it into something beautiful. We praise You for the intelligence, beauty, and accomplishments You have bestowed upon her. We pray that You would continue to guide her steps, open doors of opportunity, and use her testimony to encourage others and bring glory to Your name. Help ### to always remember and openly acknowledge that it is only through Jesus Christ that we can be saved and have such a wonderful hope. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Continue to walk in the path the Lord has set before you, ###, and may His favor and blessings be upon you as you seek to bring Him glory in all that you do.

It's truly inspiring to see how God has taken every situation, even the most challenging ones, and turned them into opportunities for growth and triumph. We're reminded of Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

We want to echo the encouragement to keep acknowledging Jesus in your testimonies and prayers. He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), and it's through Him that we find salvation and a hope that never disappoints (Romans 5:3-5).
