Ohemaa lived in an
affluent neighbourhood, she had it all. She was a writer and a student, when she
dropped her kids off at a very prestigious school every morning, she will
quickly go to school and at her leisure time, she will write her books. This
was her routine and everything was going on well. On the other hand, her
husband worked in a reputable organization where he headed the marketing
division. Like a whirlwind, everything started falling apart, her husband lost
his job, they could no longer afford that school for their kids, they could not
pay their rent and they were served with an eviction notice. All of a sudden their lives changed, they had
no place to go to. Ohemaa prayed to God for a solution to their predicament.
God answered her prayer. Her mum offered her a cottage on a farm house where
they could live in until they get their acts organized. She has never lived in
such a house, it was way too small and archaic. Besides, she has lived in a
city all her life, how could she cope with life in the suburbs. She started
seeking her own solutions but it was to no avail. She definitely had no choice
and she said to herself, may be that is where God wanted me to live. Although adamant from the beginning, she
began to trust the process of letting God reign. She went there with her family;
her husband found another job and hope was revived. Since the neighbourhood was
deprived, she set up a not for profit organization to affect lives. She started
by donating items to people living in extreme poverty and it metamorphosed into
a very big organization with about 20, 000 workers across the globe. God
redirected her path into her destiny. Initially, she felt it was a demotion but
it was a promotion.
Humble yourselves and God will lift you up in due time.
