How God Works!
When we let go and let God, He will do amazing things for us. This is my story and my testimony to how He strings events and people for His purposes for us! 24 years I was a child, 24 yrs a homemaker
I had lived my life Devoted to my family Dedicated to my husband And my children’s health for 23 years Putting two full meals on the table Every single day Except for when I got sick And being there for my boys As they grew up From baby to teenager to adult I had given up my job And career In software engineering To be a homemaker So that my home abounded And my boys were taken good care of My investments in them Were returned in full My boys have gone to good colleges My investment in my husband And their health Also served them well Until they went to college And God He gave me rest For one whole year To reset myself But I couldn’t wait To get started with my life I had entered Substack After renouncing my faith In my religion And ever since then My life has been wonderful I have learnt so much Grown abundantly Met so many wonderful people here My life has blossomed And bloomed very much And I haven’t even started yet God has so many plans for me He led me to meet somebody Who asked me this question: Shalini, you say you are a mother, a sister, a wife and so on, but what is your identity? That was a challenge question to me When he asked me that It felt like somebody Had slapped me out of my senses Out of my reality That I was living in a bubble In a far away dreamy lala land I had to step up To meet this challenge head on Then I met sister Pauline on Substack She is a deconstruction expert She met up with me one morning And asked me my next question: What is your goal in your life? I didn’t have an answer to that either I worked with her next And within three weeks I decided to apply to college To do my masters I had been afraid all my life For doing this very thing And yet God gave me the courage The confidence in myself By letting me do One semester in theology last fall Where I had excelled in 4 credits In just one semester! Then I met somebody else on Substack Who was doing his Masters In Clinical Mental Health Counseling And I decided then This is what I wanted To do with my life Going forward I worked hard In getting a good essay together Took an English proficiency test To prove my proficiency And applied for admission To my local college Which is good Then we moved to our new home And moving takes time to settle in It took time for me as well Three months to get set up In the meantime God sent me another angel To walk with me Who also worked As a substitute teacher At my son’s school As we walked and talked And grew closer God put it on my heart To follow her to school I had previously thought This was beneath me To work as a substitute teacher in school But God made me realize I had been a nobody In my arrogance And pride And besides He had given me The goal To disrupt the school system And for that I had to get into The school system first What better way was there When I didn’t have a teaching certificate Before I could work my way towards that So, he made me apply to become a Substitute teacher as well! And then sometime last week He had reminded me Of this person in church Who Having been diagnosed with cancer Had chemo therapy for 8 weeks Which had made her better And since I’d known That she was not a Trump voter I had set up an appointment To meet with her yesterday I met I spoke to her at length About my qualms Regarding our church leaders And in the end As I was leaving I had been reminded To pray for her as well And bless her I’d done that And then She had prayed for me And blessed me as well Then this morning I had found in me The urge to clean up my room Which had been stacked up With boxes all this time After 3 long months I finally found it in me To clear out my room And make it look pretty Oh and it had been because We’d finally purchased book shelves Over the weekend to set it up And when I finally got finished With all of this setting up I look in my inbox And behold I see the email That I should be attending An orientation on Friday To become a substitute teacher In my school system No interview No testing My application had been enough for them I am in already! Can you believe that? Still waiting for the college application To come through And that should come in a month’s time And I’ll be all set to start school as well Isn’t God’s timing precious And amazing? What do you think ? Let me know in the comments! Thank you for leaning in! You are much appreciated!! Sincerely! Peace ✌🏽



There’s really no age to learn, and I admire you so much for choosing yourself. Honestly, I’ve often thought I was too late—that if I had made different choices, maybe I’d already be successful. But your story reminded me that it’s never too late, and it gave me fresh motivation. Thank you truly for sharing. And I’m sorry I kept calling you Shalini— from now on, I’ll call you sis or di instead. 💙
God does not work in mysterious ways.
But conspires with those who know, what it is to, want what is need.
