A Gift from God I Didn't Expect

Sometimes God gives us amazing surprises. We pray, we work, we try our best - and suddenly there comes a moment when He says: "This is for you." That's exactly how I feel now, when I was awarded the title of Lady of the Month in April 2025. To be honest, it was unexpected. I was just writing. Writing what I felt, sharing what my heart was burning with, and the Lord was guiding me.

When I heard the news, my first thought was: "Lord, is this true? Is it really?" And then gratitude washed over me. Not because it was some kind of award, but because it was a sign. A sign that words can resonate, that creativity does not remain an empty phrase, that the Lord is leading me to where I should be.

I honestly admit that since January of this year I have been trying to do something worthwhile. There were moments of doubt when I wanted to ask: "Lord, why is it not working out? Why is it so hard? But faith is not built on quick results. Faith is to keep going even when you can’t see the road. And now, after a few months, when I had almost come to terms with the fact that my efforts go unnoticed, this recognition comes.

Have you ever felt like God is nudging you? As if whispering: “You are on the right path, don’t give up.” That’s how it feels. I was just writing, sharing my thoughts, living my days with prayer — and He saw everything.

But most of all, I am grateful to you. To those who read, who just opened my post one day and found something for themselves in it. You know, I don’t believe in coincidences. If you are reading this now, it means that we already have something in common.

I am incredibly pleased to be Lady of the Month, but the most important thing is the feeling that I am not alone. That we are all here for a reason. And if there is one thing I want to leave behind, it is not titles, not recognition, but a mark on someone's heart.

May this April be a month of faith for all of us. A month when we dare to do what God tells us to do, even when the path seems foggy. He is always there. He leads.

Thank you for your support, for your faith, for reading. For me, this is more than words can express. It is another sign that God has an amazing plan for each of us.

With love and prayers,
Your Lady of the Month, Lana
