I am a living testimony of the Power of God!

Quoting a bible passage from the book of Jeremiah, Trustee said, “in 2016 i began my journey as a university student… I spent most of my days partying and totally intoxicated out of my mind. And only giving my school work minimum effort on days I was forced to! I thought this is the best that life could offer, but everyone that knew me then would vividly recall how broken, depressed and hopelessly WRECKED I was!

“But GRACE located me at my worst! God never waited for me to change myself before He could intervene. He met me right where I was, and promised to change my life,” on her thanksgiving Instagram post.

Netizens trooped into the comments with thanksgiving and felicitations. See some of their comments:
