Scripture
“God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong…” — 1 Corinthians 1:26–29 (NIV)
For a long time, I saw sickle cell as a limitation.
Something that slowed me down…
Held me back…
Made life harder than it should be.
And I wondered:
God, why this, and why me?
But over time, my perspective changed.
Not because the condition disappeared—
But because faith reframed it.
What if this “limitation”…
Was actually a calling?
What if the pain…
Was preparing me for purpose?
Because the truth is—
The life I live now… the people I reach… the hope I carry…
Would I have walked this path the same way without this condition?
Maybe not.
God doesn’t waste anything.
Not pain.
Not weakness.
Not even suffering.
He uses it.
To shape us.
To position us.
To send us.
Today, I no longer just see sickle cell as something I endure.
I see it as part of the story God is using for the general good of humanity.
Praise Declaration
Today I praise God because my limitation has become my mission.

What felt like a limitation became my assignment.
And through God, my pain is producing gain.
