No one prepared me for life the way I thought it would be. I always assumed that the formula was simple: have a family, raise my children, work hard, and provide. But somewhere along the way, I encountered a series of spiritual tests that no one had warned me about. Tests that shook the foundation of everything I thought I knew.

I remember the day I truly woke up. It was as if I had been asleep for centuries, and suddenly, I took my first breath of consciousness.
